The Timberwolves face off against the Cleveland Cavaliers on Thursday night and this is a spot where I want to target Naz Reid.
This has been a favorable matchup for him against Cleveland's double bigs. It’s tough to cover him especially if he can align with the Jarrett Allen minutes. He’s averaged 14.3 FGAs per game against them the last few seasons, a notable uptick from the 10.7 he’s averaged this season.
This checks out compared to the shot profile allowed by the Cavaliers. They are very poor at defending catch and shoot opportunities along with above the break 3s. Two things that Naz is excellent at.
He is averaging 14.3 ppg this season so we simply are trying to get his average.
