Minnesota Timberwolves point/shooting guard D'Angelo Russell (quadriceps) and power forward/center Naz Reid (wrist) have been given the green light to take the floor for Wednesday's contest against the Spurs.

Minnesota Timberwolves forward Juan Hernangomez is unlikely to play in Wednesday's game against the San Antonio Spurs.

D'Angelo Russell Could Sit Monday

Minnesota Timberwolves guard D'Angelo Russell (quad) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. It's the second game of a back-to-back set and Russell appeared fine on Sunday. However, the Wolves tend to be cautious, so fantasy managers shouldn't be surprised if Russell sits out.

Naz Reid Questionable On Monday

Minnesota Timberwolves center Naz Reid (wrist) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. He was unable to play on Sunday and very well could miss both games of this back-to-back set. His window for having fantasy value is quickly decreasing. Once Karl-Anthony Towns returns Reid won't have much value whatsoever.
