Initially questionable, Reid will sit out Sunday's game with a shoulder injury. With Rudy Gobert serving a one-game suspension for flagrant foul point accumulation, rookie Joan Beringer will receive the starting nod. Due to Minnesota's lack of healthy post players, he is worth streaming in 12-team leagues. Anthony Edwards, Donte DiVincenzo, Jaden McDaniels and Julius Randle complete the starting five.

Without Rudy Gobert and Naz Reid, the Timberwolves lost to the 76ers by 27 points, their largest loss of the season.
