Rudy Gobert Questionable Against The Nets
1 year agoMinnesota Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert (ankle) is questionable heading into Saturday's matchup against the Nets. The multi-time Defensive Player of the Year reported after Friday's meeting with Milwaukee that he tweaked his ankle. However, he still logged 38 minutes and finished with a double-double with two blocks. That said, considering Brooklyn is one of the worst teams in the National Basketball Association, fantasy managers may not see Gobert out there on Saturday. But even if he plays, he might be limited. As a result, Naz Reid could see a bump in fantasy production, even more so if Gobert is officially declared out.

Rudy Gobert Uncertain For Wednesday
3 weeks agoMinnesota Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert (back) is listed as questionable ahead of Wednesday's game against the Denver Nuggets. Gobert made his return to the court on Sunday after missing the previous 10 games due to a lower back injury. He registered 16 points, eight rebounds, and two assists across 20 minutes of action during that game. The Wolves are likely going to ease him back into his normal role. If he sits on Wednesday, Naz Reid and Luka Garza would likely see increased roles in the rotation. Reid has been a strong fantasy option all season long, but would have increased value if Gobert is unable to play.

His return will shift Naz Reid back to the bench on Sunday. However, Reid might still see decent playing time with Gobert likely facing some restrictions. Fantasy managers in season-long formats can go ahead and get Gobert active in their lineups ahead of tip-off.

3 weeks agoAccording to Minnesota Timberwolves head coach Chris Finch, center Rudy Gobert (back) is a game-time decision regarding his availability for Sunday's meeting with the Spurs. The multi-time NBA Defensive Player of the Year is currently carrying a questionable tag after missing the last 10 games because of a back injury. Naz Reid has been handling things in the middle. But even if Gobert is cleared to suit up, he hasn't played in nearly a month, meaning he may be limited. With that in mind, fantasy managers can consider keeping Gobert on the bench even if he's available.
