Timberwolves' Naz Reid turns in double-double with full line
Minnesota Timberwolves center Naz Reid scored 13 points (5-of-12 field goals, 2-of-2 free throws) with 14 rebounds, 3 assists, 3 steals, 2 blocks, 1 3-pointer, and 1 turnover in 27.4 minutes of a 139-134 win over the New Orleans Pelicans on Tuesday.
Reid set a new career-high on the glass for a second straight game and recorded his first career double-double. It was an encouraging showing after the undrafted rookie had been held under 10 points in each of the previous four contests. He continues to contribute across the box score though, with 1.1 steals, 1.1 blocks, and 0.9 3-pointers per game since the All-Star break. Reid will have another opportunity to shine on Wednesday night when the Timberwolves take on the Chicago Bulls at home.
Reid scored a career-best 48.3 FanDuel points on Tuesday. numberFire's models project him for 19.9 FanDuel points in the second leg of the Timberwolves' back-to-back. He costs $4,500 on Wednesday.
