Timberwolves win for the 5th time in 6 games, beating the short-handed Mavericks 120-96

Naz Reid scored a season-high 22 points and the Minnesota Timberwolves beat the short-handed Dallas Mavericks 120-96

Double-doubles in blowout win Reid notched 22 points (9-14 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), 12 rebounds and two assists across 23 minutes in Monday's 120-96 win over the Mavericks.

Impact After scoring an efficient 19 points in Saturday's loss to Denver, Reid posted a season-high 22 points Monday. The big man also had another productive performance from beyond the arc and has shot 7-for-13 from three-point range in his last two outings. He also grabbed a game-best 12 rebounds against Dallas en route to his third double-double in 14 regular-season appearances.

Double-doubles, fills stat sheet Reid closed with 12 points (5-12 FG, 2-6 3Pt), 12 rebounds, four assists, two blocks and two steals across 25 minutes during Friday's 124-110 win over the Kings.

Impact Reid made the most of his minutes off the bench in this win over the Kings and posted his second double-double of the season -- and first since Oct. 26. Reid's numbers have fluctuated considerably on a game-to-game basis, and the fact that Rudy Gobert remains healthy has limited his numbers considerably. He still has some upside, but he hasn't been at the level he's played at over the past two seasons.

Edwards' 30 points power Timberwolves to 3rd straight win, 124-110 over Kings in NBA Cup

Held to seven points Reid logged seven points (3-10 FG, 1-7 3Pt), five rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal over 28 minutes during Monday's 120-113 win over the Jazz.

Impact For the third time in his last four games, Reid was held to single-digit points off the bench. Compared to his career year in 2024-25, Reid's scoring average and shooting percentages are way down, and he's seeing fewer minutes per contest as a result. He's due for some positive regression with his shooting, but his fantasy managers are likely frustrated at this point.

Drops 21 points off bench Reid amassed 21 points (7-10 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 3-3 FT), three rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 24 minutes during Monday's 125-109 win over the Nets.

Impact Reid turned in another strong night as a shooter and has totaled 39 points over his last two matchups. He's been locked in from downtown over this stretch, going 7-for-11 from deep. Reid has posted 16 or more points in four of his last five games.

Instant offense off bench Reid posted 18 points (7-13 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds and one assist across 22 minutes during Saturday's 122-105 win over Charlotte.

Impact Reid matched a season high in points, providing a spark off the bench. The 26-year-old big man has been a hit-or-miss fantasy option so far, scoring six points or fewer in three of his first six games while putting up at least 16 points in the other three. Reid's upside is likely to remain capped while Julius Randle and Rudy Gobert are healthy, with Reid averaging 11.3 points, 5.5 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 0.8 steals and 0.8 blocks in 22.8 minutes per game.

Impact The 26-year-old big was the only member of Minnesota's second unit to score in double digits, with the rest of the bench combining for just 17 points. Reid's 18 points were also an individual season high, and through four contests he's averaging 11.3 points, 6.3 boards, 2.0 assists, 1.3 steals, 1.0 blocks and 1.0 threes while playing just 23.3 minutes a game, a small but noticeable drop in workload from last season's 27.5 minutes.

Double-doubles in 23 minutes Reid ended Sunday's 114-110 victory over the Pacers with 16 points (6-12 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 10 rebounds, two assists and two steals in 23 minutes.

Impact Reid had struggled mightily over Minnesota's first two games, turning in two straight, single-digit scoring stinkers, but he had an easier time asserting himself in the offense Sunday evening with Anthony Edwards (hamstring) exiting early. It's a quick turnaround for Minnesota's next game Monday, so Edwards might need to skip their matchup with the Nuggets, which could help Reid build on his momentum from Sunday's outing.

Modest start to campaign Reid totaled six points (2-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, one assist, two blocks and one steal in 20 minutes during Wednesday's 118-114 victory over Portland.

Impact Reid is coming off a career-high season, but he dropped a dud during Opening Night of 2025-26. As long as Rudy Gobert and Julius Randle are healthy, there's not a ton of frontcourt usage to go around. However, Reid has always found a way to be productive, averaging at least 10 points, four rebounds and 1.4 stocks per game in five straight campaigns.
