Rudy Gobert

Seven Timberwolves scored in double figures on Thursday, with Reid's total being surpassed only by Julius Randle, who scored 28. With head coach Chris Finch being willing to go small down the stretch, as he has on a few occasions this season, it was Reid who was on the floor while starting center Rudy Gobert was on the bench. Reid is already rostered in 74 percent of Yahoo! leagues, but, notably, he's played at least 28 minutes in each of his last four appearances (33 on Thursday). Consistently hitting or exceeding that number would likely raise his fantasy ceiling.

After logging 38 minutes and putting forth a dominant showing in Tuesday's win over the Pelicans, Gobert only played 24 minutes in Thursday's rematch. This isn't the first time that Timberwolves head coach has decided to go small in crunch time, but that's a concern when discussing Gobert's fantasy value. He's providing 11th-round value in eight- and nine-cat formats, well below his Yahoo! ADP (68). Gobert remains a viable option in most leagues, but the playing time is something to keep an eye on moving forward.

After three straight games without a double-double, Gobert was able to produce his eighth of the season. His 26 points were also a season high and the first time he has surpassed 20 points this year. Gobert hasn't been the fantasy star that he has been in the past, largely because his free throws are worse than usual. However, he had his best game from the charity stripe this season, which led to best performance of the year.

Jaden McDaniels (wrist) is not available for Wednesday's game, ending a streak of 158 consecutive games played. He'll be replaced in the lineup by Conley, who has provided limited fantasy value this season. However, the return to the starting lineup raises his ceiling. Minnesota's other four starters are unchanged.

Gobert delivered a stat sheet-stuffing effort as Minnesota built up a 32-point advantage by the outset of the fourth quarter, which enabled him to sit out the final stanza for some extra rest. He did most of his damage in the third quarter where he poured in a team-high nine points, knocking down four of his five shot attempts during that span. He's averaging 10.7 points and 9.6 rebounds through 14 games.
