Timberwolves' Naz Reid: Just misses double-double Tuesday
Naz Reid accumulated 14 points (5-8 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds, two assists and one block over 26 minutes off the bench during Tuesday's 120-114 loss to the Mavericks.The 25-year-old big came up just short of his second double-double in four games to begin the season while recording his first block of 2024-25. Reid hasn't seen a big jump in his workload with Julius Randle replacing Karl-Anthony Towns in Minnesota's starting lineup, but Reid's been busier on the glass, averaging 7.5 rebounds through four games after setting a career high last season with 5.2 boards a contest.

Timberwolves' Naz Reid: Logs 19 points in reserve role
Naz Reid accumulated 19 points (6-10 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 13 rebounds and three assists across 27 minutes during Thursday's 117-115 win over the Kings.Reid is expected to relieve Julius Randle and Rudy Gobert on a nightly basis. However, Reid actually shared the floor with both big men briefly in the fourth quarter of Thursday's win. The odd combo of Mike Conley, Donte DiVincenzo, Reid, Randle and Gobert isn't expected to happen often, but the quintet provided a much-needed boost that helped Minnesota regain the lead. Reid's role as a backup is assured, but we may see more of the oversized grouping moving forward.

Timberwolves' Naz Reid: Solid all-around effort Friday
Naz Reid finished with 19 points (7-12 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-4 FT), four rebounds, four assists, a steal and two blocks across 23 minutes in Friday's 121-111 preseason win over the 76ers.Reid got the start at center since Rudy Gobert (undisclosed) didn't feature, and he made the most of the opportunity while making his presence felt on both ends of the court. Gobert is penciled in as the starting center, but Reid should see plenty of minutes off the bench, which should make him valuable across the majority of fantasy formats. After all, he won the Sixth Man of the Year award in 2023-24, when the 24-year-old averaged 13.5 points, 5.2 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 0.9 blocks and 0.8 steals across 24.2 minutes across 81 regular-season games.

Timberwolves' Naz Reid: Will remain sixth man
Naz Reid will continue coming off the bench this season while new acquisition Julius Randle (shoulder) will enter the starting lineup when healthy, Evan Sidery of Forbes.com reports.Reid thrived off the bench en route to claiming Sixth Man of the Year honors last season, and Minnesota will opt to keep him in the same role for 2024-25. The 25-year-old was productive as a starter as well, averaging 17.6 points and 7.0 rebounds while shooting 46.0 percent from the field across 14 cameos with the first unit. Since it's unclear if Randle will be fully healthy for Opening Night as he continues ramping up from a right shoulder dislocation suffered in January, Reid likely profiles for an enlarged role regardless of Minnesota's frontcourt shuffle.
