Naz Reid, Jake Layman Bumped To Starting Five Thursday
3 years agoMinnesota Timberwolves center Naz Reid and small/power forward Jake Layman have shifted into the starting lineup for Thursday's contest against the Jazz. Reid will be making his second start of 2021-22 in place of Karl-Anthony Towns (health and safety protocols), while Layman draws his first starting assignment of the season. The absence of Towns makes Reid one of the premier DFS plays of the slate, as the 22-year-old has averaged 12.7 points and 6.4 boards across 27 career starts. Even a starter's workload may not be enough to push Layman into consideration, as he has played an extremely limited role on the wing. Fantasy managers can also eye D'Angelo Russell, Malik Beasley, and Jaden McDaniels as DFS assets with added upside.
