Wolves' Rudy Gobert (personal) out for Game 2 Monday
The Minnesota Timberwolves have ruled out Rudy Gobert (personal) for Game 2 of their playoff series with the Denver Nuggets.
What It Means
Per The Athletic's Shams Charania, Gobert will reportedly miss tonight's game while attending the birth of his first child. The Wolves currently lead the Nuggets 1-0 in their Western Conference Semi-Finals matchup and could have a hard time building on their lead without Gobert's defensive prowess in the lineup.
Naz Reid could step into the starting lineup with Gobert sidelined and would be a serious value play on tonight's FanDuel slate with his $4,900 salary. He is currently projected for 21.2 FanDuel points in 20.9 minutes of work, but expect that projection to rise if he is named a starter.
