Logs eighth double-double in loss
Gobert recorded 11 points (4-6 FG, 3-4 FT), 13 rebounds, one assist and two blocks over 41 minutes during Monday's 117-112 overtime loss to the Kings.
ANALYSIS
Despite enduring another blown lead following a heartbreaking loss to Phoenix earlier in the week, Gobert once again demonstrated his ability to hit the double-double milestone regularly. A stat that has shown significant improvement over last season is field-goal percentage. Through 17 games, Gobert is converting shots at a 73.3-percent clip.
Nov 19, 2025
Grabs 15 boards in win
Gobert logged nine points (4-5 FG, 1-2 FT), 15 rebounds, three assists and one block across 36 minutes during Wednesday's 120-109 victory over Washington.
ANALYSIS
Gobert hauled down a game-high 15 rebounds, the most he has contributed in almost three weeks. It's been a relatively steady start to the season for Gobert, averaging 10.6 points, 9.9 rebounds and 1.7 blocks in 31.6 minutes per game through the first 15 games. While he isn't the elite rim-protector he once was, he still provides managers with typical big-man numbers on a nightly basis.
Nov 18, 2025
Flirts with double-double
Gobert finished with 15 points (6-8 FG, 3-6 FT), nine rebounds, four assists, two steals and one block over 29 minutes during Monday's 120-96 win over the Mavericks.
ANALYSIS
Gobert fell one rebound short of his sixth double-double of the season Monday, though it had little impact in a comfortable Timberwolves win. While he isn't known for offensive explosiveness, the big man has been steady, averaging 12.6 points and 9.4 rebounds across Minnesota's past five games. The four-time Defensive Player of the Year has also recorded at least one block in six straight outings, posting 2.5 rejections per game during that span.
Nov 11, 2025
Records double-double
Gobert ended with 14 points (7-8 FG, 0-1 FT), 12 rebounds, two blocks and one assist in 34 minutes during Monday's 120-113 victory over the Jazz.
ANALYSIS
Gobert was an efficient offensive contributor in Monday's win, securing his fifth double-double of the season. The veteran center excelled in both ends of the Timberwolves' back-to-back set, averaging 16.5 points, 12.0 rebounds and 3.5 blocks while shooting 88.9 percent from the field in the pair of games. Through 11 appearances this season, the defensive anchor is averaging 10.9 points, 10.1 rebounds, 1.8 blocks and 1.5 assists.
Nov 10, 2025
Five rejections in Sunday's win
Gobert had 19 points (9-10 FG, 1-2 FT), 12 rebounds, one assist, five blocks and one steal across 34 minutes during Sunday's 144-117 win over the Kings.
ANALYSIS
The double-double was Gobert's fourth of the season, while the five blocks were a season high. The veteran center has had a somewhat inconsistent start to the campaign but he may be finding a groove, recording multiple rejections in six of the last eight games while averaging 11.8 points, 10.8 boards, 2.1 blocks and 1.6 assists, and shooting 77.4 percent from the floor.
Nov 6, 2025
Grabs nine rebounds in loss
Gobert racked up seven points (3-3 FG, 1-2 FT) and nine rebounds across 28 minutes during Wednesday's 137-114 loss to the Knicks.
ANALYSIS
Wednesday was not a great night defensively for Gobert, as it marked his first game since Apr. 10 of last season where he failed to record a steal or a block. Gobert averages 9.9 points, 9.8 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 1.3 blocks and 0.4 steals on the year, so hopefully he can turn in a better defensive performance Friday against the Jazz, who will be without their starting center Walker Kessler (shoulder) for the rest of the season.
Nov 1, 2025
Double-doubles with full stat line
Gobert amassed 14 points (6-9 FG, 2-3 FT), 15 rebounds, five assists, two blocks and two steals over 35 minutes during Saturday's 122-105 victory over Charlotte.
ANALYSIS
Gobert submitted his second double-double of the campaign, also matching a season-high scoring output while handing out a season-best five dimes. The star big man has swatted multiple shots in four consecutive games, and he's positioned as one of the more reliable sources of blocks and boards to go with a high field-goal percentage. Through his first six contests, Gobert has averaged 9.5 points, 9.5 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.5 blocks per game while shooting 67.6 percent from the floor.
Oct 25, 2025
Quiet night in loss
Gobert logged two points (1-2 FG), seven rebounds and two assists over 28 minutes during the Timberwolves' 128-110 loss to the Lakers on Friday.
ANALYSIS
Gobert managed to finish second on the team in rebounding behind Julius Randle (nine), but it was another muted performance for the former. Gobert has just one block through two regular-season games and hasn't come close to logging a double-double after recording 36 during the 2024-25 regular season. Fantasy managers who took Gobert for his rebounding and defensive prowess will hope the veteran center has a more impactful performance against the Pacers on Sunday.
Oct 21, 2025
Off report for Opening Night
Gobert (rest) isn't listed on the Timberwolves' injury report for Wednesday's matchup against Portland.
ANALYSIS
Gobert will suit up in Wednesday's regular-season opener after sitting out Friday's preseason loss to Philadelphia. The veteran big man saw a slight dip in production in the 2024-25 campaign, during which he averaged 12.0 points, 10.9 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.4 blocks across 33.2 minutes per game in 72 regular-season outings.
Oct 17, 2025
Getting night off Friday
Gobert (rest) is out for Friday's preseason finale against the 76ers.
ANALYSIS
Minnesota will manage the workload of the veteran big man on the heels of Thursday's exhibition contest against the Bulls. Gobert will be back in action for Wednesday's season opener against Portland.
Oct 17, 2025
Plays well Thursday
Gobert logged 16 points (7-12 FG, 2-5 FT), eight rebounds, one assist, one steal and two blocks in 26 minutes of Thursday's 126-120 preseason loss to Chicago.
ANALYSIS
The Timberwolves treated this as a dress rehearsal for the most part, although the starters did not see full workloads. Through four exhibitions, Gobert holds averages of 8.0 points, 6.5 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.0 blocks in 19.6 minutes.
Oct 16, 2025
Slated to play Thursday
Gobert (rest) will play in Thursday's preseason game against the Bulls, Alan Horton of the Timberwolves Radio Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Gobert was ruled out for Monday's exhibition against the Guangzhou Loong-Lions. The veteran big man is good to go Thursday, but it wouldn't be shocking if he was out for Friday's preseason finale against Philadelphia.
Oct 13, 2025
Resting Monday
Gobert (rest) has been ruled out for Monday's exhibition against the Guangzhou Loong-Lions.
ANALYSIS
Gobert, who appeared in the Timberwolves' first three preseason games, will rest Monday, allowing Joan Beringer to draw the start. The veteran center's next opportunity to take the court will come Thursday against the Bulls.
Apr 14, 2025
Explosive total against former team
Gobert recorded 19 points (8-16 FG, 3-5 FT), 18 rebounds, four blocks and one steal over 38 minutes during Sunday's 116-105 win over the Jazz.
ANALYSIS
The short-handed Jazz interior was no match for Gobert, who logged 38 minutes and held court in the paint for the duration of the game. The Timberwolves played their way out of the play-in tournament and will now face the Lakers. a scenario that should favor Gobert heavily. The Lakers' front line has been in flux since Anthony Davis' departure and is arguably the team's softest spot. Gobert finishes the regular season with averages of 12.0 points, 10.8 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.4 blocked shots over 72 games.
Apr 12, 2025
Ties career scoring high Friday
Gobert ended Friday's 117-91 victory over Brooklyn with a game-high 35 points (13-17 FG, 9-14 FT), 11 rebounds, one assist and one block across 33 minutes.
ANALYSIS
The 35 points tied his career high, a mark he first established back in March 2017. The double-double was Gobert's 35th of the season and eighth in the last 10 games, a stretch in which he's averaging 18.4 points, 14.2 boards, 1.8 assists, 1.1 steals and 0.8 blocks while shooting 75.0 percent from the floor. Look for the big man to remain locked in Sunday in the Timberwolves' regular-season finale -- not only is it a revenge game for Gobert against the Jazz, Minnesota needs a win to try and escape the Play-In Tournament and claim the No. 6 seed in the Western Conference.
Apr 11, 2025
Perfect from field Thursday
Gobert ended Thursday's 141-125 win over the Grizzlies with 13 points (5-5 FG, 3-4 FT), eight rebounds and four assists in 36 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Gobert has gone two straight games without a double-double, and that's a bit odd considering how good he had been playing in recent weeks. In fact, the last time he went two games in a row without a double-double was between March 16 and 17 in a back-to-back set against the Pacers and Jazz. Gobert is averaging 16.4 points and 13.2 rebounds per game since the beginning of April.
Apr 6, 2025
Extends double-double streak
Gobert recorded 23 points (10-11 FG, 3-4 FT), 19 rebounds, two assists, three blocks and two steals over 36 minutes during Saturday's 114-109 victory over the 76ers.
ANALYSIS
Gobert was highly efficient in this contest and is ending the season on a sizzling note. The star center has recorded seven straight double-doubles, averaging 18.6 points and 16.3 rebounds per game in that stretch, arguably his most productive of the season by a wide margin, while making 73 percent of his shots. If the Timberwolves want to make a deep run in the playoffs, they need this version of Gobert anchoring the frontcourt.
Apr 4, 2025
Monster double-double in win
Gobert tallied 21 points (9-10 FG, 3-6 FT), 18 rebounds, two blocks and one assist across 36 minutes during Thursday's 105-90 victory over Brooklyn.
ANALYSIS
Gobert posted a game-high mark in rebounds en route to his sixth consecutive contest with a double-double. The veteran big man has accumulated 33 such games in 67 regular-season appearances and is on pace to average a double-double for a ninth straight season. Additionally, Gobert logged multiple blocks for the 28th time on the season Thursday.
Mar 31, 2025
Grabs 25 rebounds Sunday
Gobert registered 19 points (8-16 FG, 3-4 FT), 25 rebounds and one block over 38 minutes during Sunday's 123-104 win over Detroit.
ANALYSIS
The 25 rebounds were a campaign-high mark for Gobert, who had reached the 20-rebound mark just once all season long. Even though he plays a secondary role on offense, Gobert is undoubtedly trending in the right direction. This was his fourth straight double-double, and the towering big man is also averaging 12.6 points, 11.7 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 0.9 blocks per contest in 10 March appearances.
Mar 29, 2025
Third straight double-double
Gobert racked up 17 points (8-9 FG, 1-2 FT), 13 rebounds, one assist, one block and four steals in 38 minutes during Friday's 124-109 victory over the Suns.
ANALYSIS
The 32-year-old center has quickly gotten back into form after developing back trouble right before the All-Star break that ended up costing him 10 games. Over his last eight appearances, Gobert has recorded five double-doubles including three straight, averaging 11.4 points, 10.5 boards, 1.6 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.0 blocks over that stretch while shooting 69.2 percent from the floor.
Mar 24, 2025
Owns paint in double-double contest
Gobert tallied 16 points (8-12 FG), 16 rebounds and three assists over 35 minutes in Monday's 119-103 loss to Indiana.
ANALYSIS
Gobert held things down in the paint for Minnesota in Monday's battle, leading all players in the contest in rebounds while finishing with the lone double-double of the game in a losing effort. Gobert has recorded at least 15 points and 15 boards in three contests, hauling in 15 or more rebounds in eight appearances.
Mar 17, 2025
Exits early Monday
Gobert was ejected from Monday's game against the Pacers after being assessed a Flagrant 2 foul, Alex Golden of the 'Setting the Pace' podcast reports. He registered three points (1-2 FG, 1-2 FT), six rebounds, one assist and three blocks in 22 minutes before departing.
ANALYSIS
Gobert was tossed midway through the third quarter after getting into an altercation with Andrew Nembhard, who was hit with his second technical and also ejected. It'll be up to Naz Reid and Luka Garza to fill in at center the rest of the way.
Mar 13, 2025
Ekes out double-double Wednesday
Gobert recorded 11 points (4-8 FG, 3-4 FT), 10 rebounds, three assists and one block in 30 minutes during Wednesday's 115-95 win over the Nuggets.
ANALYSIS
The double-double was his 26th of the season, and his first in two games since returning to the lineup following a 10-game absence due to back trouble. Gobert's big increase in court time -- he played only 20 minutes Sunday in his return -- is a strong sign he's fully healthy, but his production will likely remain muted as the Minnesota offense continues to flow through Anthony Edwards and Julius Randle.
Mar 12, 2025
Available vs. Denver
Gobert (back) has been cleared to play in Wednesday's game against the Nuggets.
ANALYSIS
Gobert is coming off a 16-point performance in the blowout win against the Spurs and will be back on the floor Wednesday in Denver. The veteran big man has seen his numbers dip this season, averaging 11.1 points, 10.4 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.5 blocks per game, shooting 65.8 percent from the field.
Mar 11, 2025
Questionable to face Denver
Gobert (back) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Nuggets.
ANALYSIS
Gobert made his return from a 10-game absence due to a lower back injury in Sunday's win over the Spurs, during which he posted 16 points (7-8 FG, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, two assists and two steals across 20 minutes. The big man will likely operate under a minutes restriction if he's able to play Wednesday. However, if Gobert is ruled out, Naz Reid and Luka Garza could receive a bump in minutes.
Mar 10, 2025
Solid numbers in return
Gobert amassed 16 points (7-8 FG, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, two assists and two steals across 20 minutes during Sunday's 141-124 victory over the Spurs.
ANALYSIS
The veteran center saw his first action since Feb. 12 as he returned from a back issue, and while his minutes were limited, Gobert made up for it with a very efficient performance. Minnesota doesn't platy again until Wednesday and doesn't face a back-to-back until next Sunday and Monday, so Gobert could ramp up to his usual workload fairly quickly.
Mar 9, 2025
Available Sunday
Gobert (back) will start Sunday's game against the Spurs.
ANALYSIS
Gobert has missed the last 10 games due to a back injury, but he will make his return Sunday. Considering the amount of time he has missed, it wouldn't be surprising if he is on a minutes restriction as he eases back into play.
Mar 8, 2025
Questionable for Sunday
Gobert (back) has been listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Spurs.
ANALYSIS
Gobert has missed the Timberwolves' last 10 games due to a back issue. If the French import can't play Sunday against San Antonio, Minnesota will likely continue to turn to Naz Reid to shoulder the load in the frontcourt.
Mar 7, 2025
Won't play Friday
Gobert (back) is out for Friday's game versus the Heat, Alan Horton of the Timberwolves Radio Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Gobert's absence streak will extend to 10 games Friday after being downgraded from questionable to out due to lower back injury maintenance. His next chance to suit up is Sunday's matchup with San Antonio.
Mar 6, 2025
Iffy against Miami
Gobert (back) is listed as questionable for Friday's game versus the Heat.
ANALYSIS
Gobert is in danger of missing his ninth straight contest Friday due to lower back injury maintenance. If Gobert is downgraded to out yet again, Naz Reid should continue to start at center.
Mar 5, 2025
Out again Wednesday
Gobert (back) will not play Wednesday against Charlotte.
ANALYSIS
Gobert will miss his eighth consecutive game and remains without a timetable for a return. His next chance to play comes Friday against Miami, but at this point, he should be considered questionable at best.
Mar 3, 2025
Remains out for Tuesday
Gobert (back) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against Philadelphia.
ANALYSIS
Gobert will miss his eighth consecutive contest due to a back injury. His next chance to play will come in the second half of the club's back-to-back set on Wednesday against the Hornets. Naz Reid and Luka Garza will likely continue to shoulder the workload at the center position.
Mar 1, 2025
Another absence coming
Gobert (back) is out for Sunday's game against the Suns.
ANALYSIS
The towering big man is set to miss a seventh straight game due to a back injury, and he doesn't have a clear timetable for a return to the hardwood. His next chance to play will come against the 76ers on Tuesday.
Feb 28, 2025
Out again Friday
Gobert (back) will not play in Friday's game against Utah.
ANALYSIS
Gobert will now miss his sixth consecutive game due to his back injury, and it is uncertain when he will return. With Julius Randle (groin), Anthony Edwards (suspension) and Gobert all out, Minnesota will turn to its second unit to step up in Friday's matchup with the Jazz. Naz Reid will likely start again in Gobert's absence.
Feb 28, 2025
Return timeline uncertain
Timberwolves head coach Chris Finch said prior to Thursday's 111-102 loss to the Lakers that Gobert (back) and Julius Randle (groin) are both "close" to playing in games, but no formal target date for either player has been established, Charlie Walton of ZoneCoverage.com reports. "We don't anticipate either of them in the near, near future, but they are both going in the right direction," Finch said of Gobert and Randle.
ANALYSIS
Though Minnesota returned Donte DiVincenzo (toe) from an extended absence Thursday, the team looks as though it'll have to wait a bit longer to get back to full strength while Gobert and Randle are on the mend from injuries. Based on Finch's comments, Gobert and Randle can both be ruled out for the second leg of Minnesota's back-to-back set Friday in Utah, and a return from either player in the final game of the road trip Sunday in Phoenix may be ambitious. Naz Reid and Jalen McDaniels should continue to benefit from elevated playing time in the frontcourt until Gobert and Randle return.
Feb 26, 2025
Ruled out for Thursday
Gobert (back) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
Gobert will miss a fifth straight game Thursday for Minnesota while managing a back issue. The Timberwolves will likely continue to lean on Naz Reid to pick up the slack in the frontcourt, with the French import set to miss another game.
Feb 24, 2025
Out again Monday
Gobert (back) will not play Monday against the Thunder.
ANALYSIS
Gobert can't seem to shake his back spasms and will be sidelined for a fourth straight contest. His next chance to play comes Thursday against the Lakers. Naz Reid will likely continue to start and is averaging 23.7 points, 11.0 rebounds, 4.0 assists, 2.7 three-pointers and 2.7 blocks over his last three games.
Feb 22, 2025
Still out against OKC
Gobert (back) won't play in Sunday's game versus the Thunder.
ANALYSIS
Gobert's absence streak will extend to three games Sunday due to lower back spasms. Until the defensive stalwart is able to return to action, Naz Reid and Luka Garza should continue to soak up the majority of Minnesota's center minutes. Gobert's next chance to suit up is Monday's rematch with the Thunder.
Feb 21, 2025
Ruled out Friday
Gobert (back) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Rockets, Alan Horton of the Timberwolves Radio Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Gobert will miss a second consecutive game due to a back issue. The veteran big man's absence will likely result in a heavier workload for Naz Reid, Jaylen Clark and Terrance Shannon against the Rockets.
Feb 20, 2025
Iffy for Friday
Gobert (back) is questionable for Friday's game against the Rockets.
ANALYSIS
After missing Minnesota's final game before the All-Star break, Gobert continues to deal with back spasms. With Naz Reid already filling in for Julius Randle (groin) in the starting lineup, Jayden Clark and Terrence Shannon could be in for expanded roles once again versus Houston.
Feb 13, 2025
Won't suit up Thursday
Gobert (back) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Thunder, Alan Horton of the Timberwolves Radio Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Gobert will miss his first contest of the season while he deals with lower back spasms. His next chance to play will come Feb. 21 against the Rockets. With the big man set to join Julius Randle (groin) on the shelf, Luka Garza and Joe Ingles could see a bump in minutes Thursday.
Feb 13, 2025
Questionable against OKC
Gobert is listed as questionable for Thursday's game versus the Thunder due to low back spasms.
ANALYSIS
Gobert is in danger of missing his first game of the season Thursday due to back spasms. If the defensive stalwart is ultimately ruled out, Naz Reid and Luka Garza will likely receive increased playing time against Oklahoma City.
Feb 13, 2025
Efficient double-double
Gobert closed with 20 points (10-14 FG), 14 rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal in 38 minutes during Wednesday's 103-101 loss to Milwaukee.
ANALYSIS
Gobert has been playing well of late, and it seems he's doing more damage playing alongside Naz Reid in the frontcourt rather than alongside Julius Randle (thigh). Over the last seven games in which Reid has started alongside Gobert, the Frenchman has racked up six double-doubles while averaging 15.0 points, 12.4 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.7 blocks per contest.
Feb 10, 2025
Top rebounder in near double-double
Gobert ended with 12 points (4-6 FG, 4-5 FT), eight rebounds, two blocks and one assist over 27 minutes in Monday's 128-107 loss to Cleveland.
ANALYSIS
Gobert had somewhat of a quiet outing Monday but led all Timberwolves players in rebounds to go along with a team-high-tying pair of blocks and finishing two boards short of a double-double. Gobert has recorded at least 10 points and eight rebounds in 28 outings this season, including in seven straight contests.
Feb 7, 2025
Double-doubles Thursday
Gobert contributed 13 points (5-8 FG, 3-4 FT), 10 rebounds and one block in 34 minutes during Thursday's 127-114 victory over the Rockets.
ANALYSIS
Reid was efficient from the floor and active on the glass, leading to his fourth straight double-double and the sixth time he accomplished this feat over his last eight appearances. During that eight-game stretch, the towering Frenchman is averaging 13.8 points, 11.5 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 1.4 steals and 2.0 blocks per contest.
Feb 6, 2025
Productive stretch continues
Gobert finished Wednesday's 127-108 victory over the Bulls with 10 points (4-7 FG, 2-6 FT), 15 rebounds, one assist, three blocks and three steals in 31 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Gobert continues to play some of his best basketball of the season, recording his third straight double-double, adding six combined steals and blocks. With Julius Randle sidelined due to an adductor injury, Gobert has been able to flick a switch, having now scored double-digits in six of the past seven games. During that time, he has averaged 13.9 points, 11.7 rebounds, 1.6 steals and 2.1 blocks in 34.8 minutes per game.
Feb 4, 2025
Double-double in Monday's loss
Gobert racked up 19 points (8-9 FG, 3-3 FT), 13 rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal in 40 minutes during Monday's 116-114 loss to the Kings.
ANALYSIS
The double-double was Gobert's 21st of the season, while the 19 points represented his best scoring effort since he posted a season-high 21 against the Bulls on Nov. 7. Gobert's numbers are down almost across the board this season, and while the 32-year-old center has scored in double digits in 11 of the last 14 games, he's still averaging just 12.4 points, 9.4 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 1.6 blocks and 0.9 steals over that stretch while shooting 72.6 percent from the floor.
Feb 2, 2025
Dominates glass in Saturday's loss
Gobert closed with 16 points (7-12 FG, 2-3 FT), 16 rebounds, four assists, two blocks and two steals over 37 minutes during Saturday's 105-103 loss to Washington.
ANALYSIS
It was the veteran center's best performance on the glass since he pulled down 18 boards against the Clippers on Jan. 6. Minnesota's frontcourt is getting thinner, as Julius Randle is nursing a groin strain and Naz Reid exited Saturday's contest in the third quarter with a finger issue, so Gobert will be leaned on even more heavily in the short term as the team's anchor in the paint. Over his last eight games, Gobert is averaging 12.9 points, 9.5 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 1.8 blocks and 1.1 steals while shooting 65.5 percent from the floor.
Jan 25, 2025
Double-doubles in win
Gobert finished with 14 points (6-8 FG, 2-3 FT), 14 rebounds, five assists and four steals in 30 minutes during Saturday's 133-104 victory over the Nuggets.
ANALYSIS
Gobert delivered a strong performance, a welcome sight after what has been an underwhelming couple of weeks. This was his first double-double in almost a week, while the four steals were just one short of his season-high set back in early December. Although his impact on the offensive end continues to be sporadic, his ability to grab rebounds and defend the rim should help with maintaining a relatively safe floor.
Jan 20, 2025
Cleared to play
Gobert (ankle) is in the starting lineup Monday against the Grizzlies.
ANALYSIS
Gobert popped up on the injury report with a questionable tag due to a right ankle sprain, so it will be interesting to see how he holds up against Memphis. He has struggled in January so far, averaging 9.5 points, 10.0 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.5 blocks over his last 10 games.
Jan 19, 2025
Dealing with ankle problem
Gobert is questionable for Monday's game against the Grizzlies due to a right ankle sprain.
ANALYSIS
Gobert is a new addition to the injury report with an ankle problem, and the questionable tag suggests the Timberwolves will decide on his status closer to Monday's 2:30 p.m. tipoff. If Gobert can't go, then Naz Reid would likely move to the starting lineup alongside Julius Randle in the frontcourt. Gobert is averaging 10.2 points and 10.4 rebounds per game this season.
Jan 19, 2025
Efficient night in double-double
Gobert logged 17 points (6-7 FG, 5-6 FT), 12 rebounds and one assist in 31 minutes during Saturday's 124-117 loss to the Cavaliers.
ANALYSIS
It was the 17th double-double of the season for Gobert, who enjoyed an efficient night shooting the ball from both the floor and the foul line. The star big man actually played second fiddle to Julius Randle in the rebounding department Saturday, collecting 12 boards to the latter's 14, but fantasy managers can expect Gobert to lead the Timberwolves in this category more often than not.
Jan 13, 2025
Nabs double-double in victory
Gobert registered 11 points (5-6 FG, 1-2 FT), 11 rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal across 33 minutes during Monday's 120-106 win over the Wizards.
ANALYSIS
Gobert chipped in a game-high mark in rebounds while securing his 16th double-double across 39 regular-season appearances. The big man has been efficient of late, shooting 80.0 percent from the field over his last three outings. However, Gobert's numbers have dropped considerably this year, and he is on pace to average his lowest points per game (10.1) since the 2015-16 campaign, as well as his lowest rebounds per game (10.5) since the 2014-15 season.
Jan 11, 2025
Quickly returns Saturday
Gobert (head) has returned to Saturday's game against the Grizzlies, Jace Frederick of St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
ANALYSIS
Gobert briefly went to the locker room after taking a shot to the head from Zach Edey while going for a rebound. The former doesn't appear to have any lingering issues and has been cleared to return to Saturday's contest.
Jan 11, 2025
Heads to locker room Saturday
Gobert is headed to the locker room after sustaining an apparent head injury in Saturday's game against the Grizzlies, Jon Krawczynski of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Gobert took a big shot from Zach Edey in the head while battling for a rebound, and the big man went to the locker room to get a proper look at any potential injury. Naz Reid should see more minutes while Gobert is sidelined, and it remains to be seen if he'll be able to return to the hardwood.

Posts another double-double
Gobert registered 17 points (6-12 FG, 5-6 FT), 15 rebounds, two assists and two blocks over 31 minutes during Sunday's 112-110 victory over San Antonio.
ANALYSIS
Gobert had the tough assignment of dealing with Victor Wembanyama, but he had a solid showing on both ends of the court and posted an impressive double-double. This was Gobert's sixth double-double across 12 games in December. He's averaging 10.8 points, 9.9 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.2 blocks per game in the current month.
Dec 25, 2024
Double-doubles in win
Gobert had 14 points (6-7 FG, 2-2 FT), 10 rebounds, two blocks and one steal over 39 minutes during Wednesday's 105-99 victory over Dallas.
ANALYSIS
Gobert turned in an adequate performance, recording just his second double-double in the past five games. Although it has been a steady start to the season, Gobert's overall production has dipped when compared to the 2023-24 season. To this point, he is averaging 10.4 points, 10.6 rebounds and 1.4 blocks in 34.1 minutes per game.
Dec 22, 2024
Logs 12th double-double of season
Gobert ended Saturday's 113-103 loss to Golden State with 18 points (7-8 FG, 4-7 FT), 12 rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal across 37 minutes.
ANALYSIS
It was the 12th double-double of the season for Gobert, who supplied a full stat line for the Timberwolves on Saturday. Since the calendar turned to December, Gobert is averaging 11.1 points, 9.9 rebounds, 1.9 assists, 1.6 steals and 0.9 blocks per game while shooting 66.0 percent from the floor over nine outings. The 32-year-old star big man may not offer fantasy managers much in the way of outside scoring and playmaking, but Gobert is shooting a career-high 72.9 percent from the charity stripe on the season as a whole and remains an elite source of swats and boards along with a high field-goal percentage.
Dec 20, 2024
Struggles badly vs. New York
Gobert notched three points (1-1 FG, 1-4 FT), four rebounds and two steals over 22 minutes during Thursday's 133-107 loss to the Knicks.
ANALYSIS
Gobert made his lone field goal in this game, but there's no question he wasn't at his best in this one. The 22 minutes played represented a season-low mark for him, while his overall stat line of three points and four boards was certainly disappointing. The Frenchman will aim to bounce back in what might be a more favorable matchup against the Warriors on Saturday.
Dec 16, 2024
One board shy of double-double
Gobert registered 10 points (5-11 FG, 0-1 FT), nine rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 35 minutes during Sunday's 106-92 victory over the Spurs.
ANALYSIS
Gobert finished one board shy of what would've been his 12th double-double of the campaign. Gobert remains on pace for top-60 value in nine-category formats, posting averages of 10.6 points, 11.0 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.4 blocks.
Dec 7, 2024
Records double-double
Gobert finished with 17 points (6-10 FG, 5-5 FT), 11 rebounds, one assist and one steal in 35 minutes during Friday's 107-90 win over the Warriors.
ANALYSIS
Gobert hasn't been the double-double machine he was during his Utah days, but he's achieved that in two of his last three appearances, and he seems to be trending in the right direction. The big man is averaging 10.9 points, 11.9 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 1.6 blocks per game over his last 10 contests, a span in which he's posted six double-doubles.
Dec 3, 2024
Posts double-double Monday
Gobert chipped in 17 points (7-8 FG, 3-4 FT), 12 rebounds and one steal in 32 minutes during Monday's 109-80 victory over the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
Gobert was one of the best players for the Timberwolves in this victory, missing just one shot from the field and also leading the team in the rebounding category. This was Gobert's first double-double since the Nov. 24 loss to the Celtics, and the veteran big man has reached that threshold nine times across 20 contests in 2024-25.
Nov 24, 2024
Double-double streak continues
Gobert chipped in 10 points (4-5 FG, 2-2 FT) and 20 rebounds in 34 minutes during Sunday's 107-105 loss to the Celtics.
ANALYSIS
Gobert set a new season best with 20 rebounds in a dominant performance on the glass, surpassing his previous season high in rebounds of 15 set on Nov. 8 against Portland. The big man has also chipped in a double-double in five straight outings, during which he has averaged 11.4 points, 12.4 rebounds and 2.3 blocks across 36.4 minutes per game. Gobert's rebounding and defensive presence have remained a strong positive for fantasy owners, though he has been limited to 6.4 shot attempts per game through 16 regular-season appearances, his lowest mark since the 2015-16 campaign.
Nov 17, 2024
Swats four in win Sunday
Gobert provided 11 points (4-8 FG, 3-4 FT), 10 rebounds, four blocks and two assists across 37 minutes during Sunday's 120-117 win over Phoenix.
ANALYSIS
Gobert logged his sixth double-double of the season, as well as his eighth game with 10-plus rebounds. The big man also tied his season high in blocks, and he has recorded six regular-season games with two or more swats. Through 14 regular-season appearances, Gobert has averaged 10.9 points, 10.4 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 1.6 blocks while shooting 63.0 percent from the floor across 32.9 minutes per game.
Nov 16, 2024
Ekes out double-double Friday
Gobert recorded 11 points (5-7 FG, 1-1 FT), 11 rebounds, two assists and three blocks across 41 minutes during Friday's 130-126 overtime win over Sacramento.
ANALYSIS
It wasn't a dominant performance, but Gobert still produced his second straight double-double and fifth in 13 games to begin the season. The veteran center's usage and production have somewhat surprisingly declined with Julius Randle in the frontcourt with him instead of Karl-Anthony Towns, but Gobert is still averaging 10.8 points, 10.5 boards, 1.9 assists and 1.4 blocks through the first 13 games of 2024-25.
Nov 14, 2024
Struggles against promising rookie
Gobert posted 12 points (4-8 FG, 4-5 FT) and 10 rebounds over 34 minutes during Wednesday's 106-98 loss to Portland.
ANALYSIS
Gobert had his hands full against Donovan Clingan, who effectively ruled the day under the basket. the synergy between Gobert and Julius Randle continues to improve, but neither player could contend with Clingan's size. A few appearances at the charity stripe helped to pad Gobert's totals, but it was an disappointing evening overall.
Nov 9, 2024
Excellent as two-way threat
Gobert notched eight points (4-5 FG), 15 rebounds, two assists and three blocks in 23 minutes during Friday's 127-102 victory over Portland.
ANALYSIS
Gobert was efficient from the field, dominant on the glass and active as a rim protector, ultimately making a sizable impact on both ends of the court in this huge blowout win for the Timberwolves. Gobert has been a bit inconsistent in the scoring column, but other than that, he's having a solid start to the year. Through nine appearances, the big man is averaging 11.3 points, 10.4 rebounds and 1.3 blocks per game.
Nov 7, 2024
Comes close to double-double
Gobert closed with 21 points (9-11 FG, 3-3 FT), nine rebounds, three assists and one block over 32 minutes during Thursday's 135-119 win over the Bulls.
ANALYSIS
Gobert engaged in a battle with Nikola Vucevic, and while the Bulls big man outplayed him from a statistical perspective, the Frenchman delivered an impressive outing in his own right. Gobert missed just two of his 11 shots from the field and finished just one board shy of what would've been his fourth double-double of the campaign. This should be categorized as a huge bounce-back effort for the veteran, who had scored 10 or fewer points in three of his previous four contests.
Nov 4, 2024
Will go vs. Hornets
Gobert (ankle) has been cleared to play Monday night against Charlotte.
ANALYSIS
Gobert was being considered a true game-time decision leading up to tipoff, and he was able to prove his health during pregame warmups. The big man logged only 23 minutes in his previous appearance Saturday against the Spurs but figures to take on a larger workload Monday night.
Nov 3, 2024
Iffy against Buzz City Monday
Gobert (ankle) is questionable for Monday's matchup versus the Hornets.
ANALYSIS
Gobert is dealing with a left ankle sprain and is in jeopardy of missing his first game of the 2024-25 campaign. The 32-year-old is averaging a double-double with 10.8 points, 10.3 rebounds, 1.9 steals-plus-blocks and 1.5 assists across 33.2 minutes per game in six regular-season appearances thus far. If the veteran big man is ruled out, Naz Reid will be expected to start.
Nov 2, 2024
Racks up third double-double
Gobert accumulated 17 points (7-10 FG, 3-4 FT), 14 rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal in 36 minutes during Friday's 119-116 victory over Denver.
ANALYSIS
That's three double-doubles in five games for Gobert, who is still adjusting to having Julius Randle as his new frontcourt partner instead of Karl-Anthony Towns. Gobert's shot volume is down -- he's managed only 6.6 FG attempts a game so far, which would be his lowest mark since 2015-16 -- but the veteran center is averaging 11.8 boards and 1.4 blocks a contest while shooting 63.6 percent from the floor.
Oct 25, 2024
Minimal offensive role in win
Gobert ended Thursday's 117-115 win over the Kings with three points (1-2 FG, 1-2 FT), 11 rebounds, one assist and two steals over 35 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Gobert has never been a high-volume scorer, but just two field-goal attempts is still low for him. The good news is that the four-time Defensive Player of the Year has logged double-digit rebounds in both of his outings this year and played exactly 35 minutes in each, giving him plenty of playing time to rack up defensive stats.
Oct 23, 2024
Logs 13/14 double-double in opener
Gobert supplied 13 points (5-8 FG, 3-4 FT), 14 rebounds, two assists and one block across 35 minutes during Tuesday's 110-103 loss to the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
Gobert grabbed his share of rebounds, but he had no answer for Anthony Davis in the paint. The combination of Gobert and Julius Randle needs some time to develop, as the trade that sent Karl-Anthony Towns to the Knicks happened less than a month ago. It will take a few games for the duo to gain a better understanding of their roles in the new scheme, but Gobert should continue to be a nightly double-double threat.
Oct 22, 2024
Signs three-year extension
The Timberwolves signed Gobert to a three-year, $110 million extension Tuesday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Gobert will likely remain with the club for the long haul after trading Karl-Anthony Towns to the Knicks. The four-time Defensive Player of the Year averaged a double-double for the eighth consecutive season in the 2023-24 campaign. Last season, Gobert also averaged 14.0 points, 12.9 rebounds and 2.8 combined steals plus blocks across 34.1 minutes per game in 76 regular-season appearances.
Oct 17, 2024
Healthy scratch vs. Denver
Gobert isn't playing in Thursday's preseason game against the Nuggets due to rest purposes.
ANALYSIS
Gobert and rest of Minnesota's starters will get the second half of a back-to-back off. Luka Garza is starting at center in Gobert's absence.
Oct 13, 2024
Back in starting five Sunday
Gobert (undisclosed) is available and starting in Sunday's preseason matchup against the Knicks.
ANALYSIS
Gobert was able to suit up for the Timberwolves' preseason opener on Oct. 4th, though he has yet to play since. The 32-year-old will give it a go Sunday, though it is unclear if he will be limited ahead of Opening Night.
Oct 11, 2024
Won't play vs. 76ers
Gobert (undisclosed) won't play in Friday's preseason game against the 76ers.
ANALYSIS
Gobert was initially listed as a game-time call Friday, but he won't be suiting up. This means the Timberwolves will go with Naz Reid at center and Jalen McDaniels at power forward in a very small lineup. Gobert's next chance to play will be on Sunday against the Knicks.
Oct 11, 2024
Game-time call for Friday
Gobert (undisclosed) will be a game-time decision for Friday's preseason game against the 76ers, Alan Horton of the Timberwolves Radio Network reports.
ANALYSIS
It's unclear if the Timberwolves want to rest Gobert or if the Frenchman is dealing with an injury, but a decision on his status will be made closer to the 7 p.m. ET tip-off. If he doesn't start, then Naz Reid, Luka Garza and even Leonard Miller would be in line for bigger roles in the frontcourt.
Aug 8, 2024
Plays off bench in win
Gobert (finger) played off the bench during France's 73-69 semifinal win over Germany, seeing five minutes and posting zero points (0-1 FG), one rebound and one assist.
ANALYSIS
Gobert saw a handful of minutes despite finger surgery, but France didn't need him much to secure a victory, getting a big performance from Guerschon Yabusele. Now, France advances to the gold medal game, where they'll face either Serbia or the United States.
Aug 6, 2024
Plays despite finger surgery
Gobert (finger) recorded one rebound in three minutes during Tuesday's 82-73 win over Canada in the quarterfinals of the Paris Olympics.
ANALYSIS
Gobert didn't check in until 7:30 left in the second quarter and played only three minutes. Gobert's removal from the starting lineup and lack of playing time sparked speculation. However, he announced after the game that he injured his left ring finger in practice, underwent surgery Monday and was thankful to play at all Tuesday, per Jeff Zillgitt of USA Today. Gobert's status for Thursday's semifinal matchup versus Germany remains unclear.
Jul 30, 2024
Game-high 15 boards in Olympics win
Gobert produced seven points (3-6 FG, 1-5 FT), 15 rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal across 27 minutes in France's 94-90 overtime win over Japan in the Paris Olympics on Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
Gobert was unstoppable on the glass Tuesday, and he totaled a game-high 15 rebounds. The 32-year-old was quiet on offense, but he will likely not be tasked with too much responsibility on the offensive end alongside Victor Wembanyama and Evan Fournier. The defensive juggernaut's size and ability to protect the paint will be crucial for the squad in securing a medal in Paris. However, Gobert will likely not be expected to shoulder much of the offensive workload with only 14 points in two group-phase games thus far.
Jul 27, 2024
Limited run in Olympic win
Gobert chipped in seven points (3-3 FG, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, two blocks and one assist across 18 minutes in France's 78-66 win over Brazil in the Paris Olympics on Saturday.
ANALYSIS
Gobert was quiet on the offensive end, but in limited minutes he was able to make an impact on defense and shoot100 percent from the field. The 32-year-old has made a name for himself as one of the best defenders in the world, and his ability to protect the rim will be crucial as France attempts to make a run in the Olympic Games.
Jul 25, 2024
Defensive stalwart for France
Gobert is on the French national team roster for the 2024 Paris Olympics.
ANALYSIS
After tying an NBA record for the most Defensive Players of the Year awards with four in 2023-24, Gobert is now set to play for France in the Olympics. Playing alongside Victor Wembanyama, Gobert's elite rim protection should make it a nightmare for any opposing team looking to score inside.
May 31, 2024
Plays reduced minutes in Game 5
Gobert provided nine points (4-8 FG, 1-2 FT), five rebounds, one assist and one steal in 26 minutes during Thursday's 124-103 loss to the Mavericks in Game 5 of the Western Conference Finals.
ANALYSIS
Gobert's 26 minutes were his lowest of the series despite recording just one foul. The 2023-24 Defensive Player of the Year was often forced to play away from the rim and come out to meet Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving on the perimeter in the pick-and-roll. Gobert averaged 11.8 points, 7.6 rebounds and 1.4 assists in 34.0 minutes across the five games against Dallas.
May 25, 2024
Records double-double
Gobert closed Friday's 109-108 loss to the Mavericks in Game 2 of the Western Conference Finals with 16 points (6-10 FG, 4-6 FT), 10 rebounds, two assists, one block and two steals in 38 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Gobert will probably be remembered for being unable to defend Luka Doncic in the play that gave Dallas the victory late in the fourth quarter, but the towering Frenchman was having a solid game before that. He has recorded three double-doubles over his last six playoff contests while scoring in double digits five times in that span.
May 20, 2024
Delivers clutch performance
Gobert totaled 13 points (3-7 FG, 7-9 FT), nine rebounds, one assist, two blocks and one steal in 36 minutes before fouling out of Sunday's 98-90 win over the Nuggets in Game 7 of the Western Conference Semifinals.
ANALYSIS
Despite scoring just 13 points, Gobert connected on a number of key baskets down the stretch. This included a turnaround jump shot as the shot clock expired, impressing even his own teammates. The win sees the Timberwolves advance to their first Western Conference Finals appearance in 20 years. Gobert will once again be a force on the defensive end of the floor, tasked with limiting both Daniel Gafford and Derrick Lively.
May 11, 2024
Quiet outing return in Game 3
Gobert tallied six points (3-5 FG, 0-2 FT), four rebounds and one assist over 27 minutes in Friday's 117-90 loss to the Nuggets in Game 3 of the Western Conference Semifinals.
ANALYSIS
Gobert returned in Game 3 after missing the previous contest due to the birth of his child, putting forth a quiet outing in Minnesota's first loss of the postseason. Gobert failed to reach double figures in both points and rebounds, not tallying 10 or more boards for the third time of the postseason while not crossing the double-digit scoring mark for the third time. In order for Minnesota to bounce back in Sunday's Game 4, Gobert will have to put together a much stronger showing than he did Friday in Minneapolis.
May 9, 2024
Good to go Friday
Gobert (personal) isn't on the injury report for Friday's Game 3 agains the Nuggets.
ANALYSIS
Gobert will return to action Friday after missing Game 2 due to the birth of his child. The newly-crowned Defensive Player of the Year should reclaim his starting spot from Kyle Anderson in Game 3.
May 7, 2024
Wins Defensive Player of the Year
The NBA announced Tuesday that Gobert (personal) has been named the 2023-24 Kia NBA Defensive Player of the Year.
ANALYSIS
Gobert has now tied Dikembe Mutombo and Ben Wallace for the most DPOY awards in NBA history with four. Gobert was the anchor Minnesota defense, which boasted a league-best 108.4 defensive rating. The defensive stalwart's 2.1 blocks per game ranked sixth in the NBA while his 12.9 rebounds per contest ranked second.
May 6, 2024
To miss Game 2
Gobert (personal) has been ruled out for Monday's Game 2 against the Nuggets, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Gobert was added to the team's injury report earlier in the day due to a personal matter, and he's since been downgraded to out after Charania confirmed the birth of Gobert's first child. Look for Naz Reid, who put up 16 points in Game 1, to enter the starting lineup in Gobert's absence.
May 6, 2024
Late addition to injury report
Gobert is questionable for Monday's Game 2 against the Nuggets due to personal reasons.
ANALYSIS
This is certainly a concerning development for the Timberwolves, who were able to steal Game 1 on the road Saturday. The specifics of the situation remain unclear, but Gobert wasn't present for Minnesota's morning shootaround. If he's unavailable, Naz Reid, who had a stellar fourth quarter in Game 1, would be a candidate for increased minutes, but Karl-Anthony Towns would likely start at center.
Apr 27, 2024
Efficient performance in Game 3 win
Gobert logged 19 points (6-8 FG, 7-8 FT), 14 rebounds, one assist and one steal over 38 minutes during Friday's 126-109 victory over the Suns in Game 3 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
ANALYSIS
Gobert's scoring numbers have increased with each passing game in the series, though the increased offensive responsibility in Game 3 was directly related to Karl-Anthony Towns being limited with foul trouble. Gobert also has two double-doubles in three games during he current series, averaging 17.0 points and 13.0 boards per contest.
Apr 20, 2024
Top rebounder in double-double
Gobert ended with 14 points (4-6 FG, 6-7 FT), 16 rebounds and two assists in 37 minutes during Saturday's 120-95 win over the Suns in Game 1 of the Western Conference Quarterfinals.
ANALYSIS
Gobert owned the glass in Saturday's Game 1 victory, leading all players in the contest in rebounds while posting the lone double-double of the game to go along with a pair of assists. Gobert, who not only led Minnesota on the boards but also defensively, concluded the regular season with at least 10 points and 15 rebounds in four of his final five outings.
Apr 15, 2024
Scores team-high 21 in finale
Gobert closed with 21 points (7-9 FG, 7-9 FT), seven rebounds, one assist, one block and two steals over 32 minutes during Sunday's 125-106 loss to the Suns.
ANALYSIS
Minnesota came into Sunday with a chance to land the top seed in the Western Conference, but instead they finished third after a lackluster performance on home court. Gobert was the only Timberwolf to score 20 or more, and his seven boards also led the club on the afternoon. The 31-year-old center has scored in double digits in 11 of the last 12 games, averaging 15.9 points, 13.0 rebounds, 2.1 blocks, 1.9 assists and 1.0 steals over that stretch to close out the regular season.
Apr 13, 2024
Massive output in Friday's win
Gobert posted 25 points (10-10 FG, 5-8 FT), 19 rebounds, five blocks and one steal across 37 minutes during Friday's 109-106 win over the Hawks.
ANALYSIS
The Timberwolves needed Gobert to step his game up Friday, and the Frenchman delivered with an impressive stat line on both ends of the court, leading Minnesota in scoring and also recording elite defensive numbers. Gobert has 10 double-doubles over his last 11 appearances, including four in a row, while registering multiple blocks seven times in that stretch.
Apr 11, 2024
Bests Jokic in rebound battle
Gobert logged 13 points (6-7 FG, 1-3 FT), 15 rebounds, three assists, one block and two steals in 39 minutes during Wednesday's 116-107 loss to Denver.
ANALYSIS
Although Gobert couldn't contain Jokic's scoring barrage, he fared about as well as possible off the glass against the presumptive MVP. The defensive stalwart played 39 minutes and seemed to run out of gas in the final frame, allowing Jokic to contribute nine points during a 22-7 run. The Timberwolves hope to have Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) back for the playoffs, and his presence could be the difference-maker if Minnesota meets Denver again in the Western Conference Finals.
Apr 10, 2024
Fills stat sheet in Tuesday's win
Gobert posted 19 points (5-9 FG, 9-13 FT), 16 rebounds, three assists, four blocks and two steals across 38 minutes during Tuesday's 130-121 victory over the Wizards.
ANALYSIS
Gobert was impressive on both ends of the court and filled the stat sheet admirably, racking up two or more tallies in each of the five major categories while also notching his eighth double-double over his last nine outings. He now has 52 double-doubles on the season and will aim to bolster that number even further when the Timberwolves take on the Nuggets in a marquee matchup Wednesday.
Apr 8, 2024
Logs 51st double-double of season
Gobert produced 18 points (9-13 FG), 16 rebounds, three assists, one block and two steals across 37 minutes during Sunday's 127-117 victory over the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
Gobert's 51 double-doubles put him squarely in fifth place the category, ahead of elites like Luka Doncic and Bam Adebayo. Over 72 games, Gobert has averaged 13.7 points, 12.8 rebounds, 2.1 blocked shots and 1.3 assists.
Apr 6, 2024
Held in check during loss
Gobert notched four points (2-5 FG), six rebounds, one assist and two blocks over 29 minutes during Friday's 97-87 loss to the Suns.
ANALYSIS
Gobert withered against Phoenix's interior defense Wednesday night, falling well shirt of his usual totals. Jusuf Nurkic was a decisive victor in the paint, and although Naz Reid was able to have some success off the glass, Gobert's result was very poor. things won't get much easier for Gobert, as he'll go toe-to-toe with Anthony Davis on Sunday.
Apr 3, 2024
Posts another double-double
Gobert had 12 points (4-7 FG, 4-6 FT), 14 rebounds and two blocks in 35 minutes during Tuesday's 113-106 win over the Rockets.
ANALYSIS
The towering Frenchman registered a fifth straight double-double while also recording multiple blocks for the third time in that stretch. During that five-game stretch, Gobert is averaging 16.0 points, 12.4 rebounds and 1.8 blocks per game during that five-game stretch in which he's had to step his game up on the defensive end of the floor with Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) sidelined.
Apr 1, 2024
Another double-double
Gobert ended Sunday's 109-101 loss to the Bulls with 19 points (8-8 FG, 3-7 FT), 10 rebounds, one assist, one block and two steals in 38 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Gobert recorded his fourth consecutive double-double in stellar fashion, as he was perfect from the field, a feat he's achieved just five times this season. However, and while he was his usual disruptive presence on the defensive end, his contributions were not enough to lift Minnesota to victory past a combative Bulls team. Gobert will aim to keep his double-double streak alive when the Timberwolves take on the Rockets on Tuesday.
Mar 31, 2024
Will play Sunday
Gobert (ribs) is available for Sunday's game against the Bulls.
ANALYSIS
Gobert has been dealing with a rib sprain over the last couple of weeks, but he will make his fifth straight appearance Sunday. Over his last four games, Gobert is averaging 14.5 points, 12.8 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 2.0 blocks in 35.8 minutes per contest.
Mar 30, 2024
Questionable for Sunday
Gobert is questionable to face the Bulls on Sunday due to a rib injury.
ANALYSIS
Gobert has been dealing with rib problems in recent weeks, and while the questionable tags cast some doubts regarding his availability for Sunday, he is expected to continue playing while handling his regular workload. Gobert is averaging 14.4 points, 14.1 rebounds and 2.4 blocks per game in March.
Mar 29, 2024
Gets green light
Gobert (ribs) is good to go for Friday's game in Denver, Vic Lombardi of Altitude Sports reports.
ANALYSIS
Gobert will play through sprained ribs for the fourth straight game. Seeing as though the big man has seen at least 34 minutes in each contest, he should be in line for his usual workload assuming he does not sustain any setbacks.
Mar 28, 2024
Iffy for Friday
Gobert is questionable for Friday's game versus Denver with a left rib sprain.
ANALYSIS
Gobert has been able to play through his rib sprain in three straight games, playing at least 34 minutes in all three. He's still considered day-to-day, however, so fantasy managers will want to monitor this situation closely.
Mar 28, 2024
Records another double-double
Gobert totaled 11 points (5-5 FG, 1-1 FT), 14 rebounds, four assists and two blocks in 34 minutes during Wednesday's 106-91 victory over the Pistons.
ANALYSIS
Gobert hasn't been the double-double machine he was during his Utah days since joining the Timberwolves, but there's no question he's taken a leap forward this season compared to the numbers he posted in 2022-23. Gobert ranks fifth in The Association in double-doubles this season with 46 out of 66 appearances.
Mar 27, 2024
Good to go against Detroit

Mar 26, 2024
Battling lingering rib soreness
Gobert is questionable for Wednesday's game against Detroit due to a sprained rib on his left side.
ANALYSIS
Gobert has compiled 74 minutes of action across his last two appearances, but he was sidelined for the three contests prior due to rib pain. During those absences, Gobert expressed the importance of being 100 percent healthy to take the court, so his status will need to be monitored in advance of Wednesday's contest. Anthony Edwards (finger) is also considered questionable.
Mar 25, 2024
Pulls down double-double Sunday
Gobert racked up 17 points (7-10 FG, 3-3 FT), 12 rebounds, two assists and one block across 37 minutes during Sunday's 114-110 win over the Warriors.
ANALYSIS
It's the veteran center's 45th double-double of the season. Gobert has missed four of the last seven games with a rib injury, but he's still pulled down double-digit rebounds in all eight March contests he's been able to suit up for. He's averaged 14.0 points, 14.5 boards, 2.4 blocks, 1.4 assists and 0.8 steals on the month while shooting 66.2 percent from the floor.
Mar 24, 2024
Available, starting Sunday
Gobert (rib) is available for Sunday's game against the Warriors.
ANALYSIS

Mar 23, 2024
Questionable for Sunday
Gobert is considered questionable for Sunday's game versus the Warriors due to a left rib sprain.
ANALYSIS
This is the first time Gobert has popped up on the injury report with a sprained rib. His status Sunday will presumably depend on how the injury is feeling closer to tipoff. Should he ultimately be unable to go, Naz Reid would be the prime beneficiary, while Luka Garza could also see some extra minutes.
Mar 22, 2024
Grabs 14 boards in return
Gobert (rib) tallied nine points (4-7 FG, 1-4 FT), 14 rebounds, two blocks and one assist across 37 minutes Friday in the Timberwolves' 104-91 win over the Cavaliers.
ANALYSIS
Gobert provided his usual contributions in the rebounds and blocks categories in his return from a three-game absence due to a left rib sprain, but a rough showing from the free-throw line kept him in single digits in the scoring column for a third consecutive contest. Even without Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) for the foreseeable future, Gobert isn't expected to benefit from a dramatic uptick in usage on the offensive end, as his scoring will derive mainly from putbacks and the occasional post touch.
Mar 22, 2024
Good to go for Friday
Gobert (ribs) has been cleared to play Friday against Cleveland, Serena Winters of Bally Sports Cleveland reports.
ANALYSIS
Gobert missed Minnesota's last three games while dealing with a left rib sprain, but he's healthy enough to suit up Friday evening. The big man is averaging 14.3 points, 15.0 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 1.0 steals and 2.7 blocks through six March appearances.
Mar 21, 2024
Iffy against Cleveland
Gobert (ribs) is listed as questionable for Friday's game versus the Cavaliers.
ANALYSIS
Gobert is in danger of missing his fourth straight contest Friday due to a left rib sprain. With Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) still out and Naz Reid (head) questionable, Luka Garza could continue to receive increased playing time.
Mar 19, 2024
Ruled out against Denver
Gobert (ribs) won't play in Tuesday's game versus the Nuggets.
ANALYSIS
Gobert will miss his third straight game Tuesday after being downgraded from questionable to out due to a left rib sprain. With Naz Reid (head) and Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) also out, Luka Garza is likely in store for increased playing time. Gobert's next chance to suit up is Friday's matchup with Cleveland.
Mar 19, 2024
Iffy for Tuesday
Gobert (ribs) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against Denver.
ANALYSIS
Naz Reid (head) and Anthony Edwards (finger) are also considered questionable. Gobert has been sidelined the past two games, but he remains day-to-day. Kyle Anderson, Luka Garza and Jaden McDaniels are candidates to see more minutes if Gobert sits again.
Mar 18, 2024
Unavailable Monday
Gobert (ribs) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Jazz, Alan Horton of the Timberwolves Radio Network reports.
ANALYSIS

Mar 18, 2024
Present at shootaround
Gobert (ribs) was in uniform at Minnesota's morning shootaround Monday, Chris Hine of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
ANALYSIS
Gobert is questionable for Monday's matchup against the Jazz after missing Saturday's game against Utah, but his presence at the team's morning shootaround is encouraging. However, if he's unable to suit up Monday, Naz Reid should continue to see increased work.
Mar 17, 2024
Gets questionable tag
Gobert (ribs) is questionable for Monday's game against the Jazz.
ANALYSIS
Gobert is in jeopardy of missing a second consecutive game due to a left rib sprain. If he is unable to suit up, Naz Reid should be in line for an increased role once again.
Mar 16, 2024
Ruled out for Saturday
Gobert (ribs) has been ruled out of Saturday's game against the Jazz, Chris Hine of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
ANALYSIS
Gobert was absent from shootaround ahead of Saturday's game, so his absence is not surprising. Naz Reid should remain in the starting lineup as a result, while Gobert's next chance to play will come in the upcoming matchup against Utah on March 18.
Mar 16, 2024
Absent from shootaround
Gobert (ribs) isn't participating in shootaround ahead of Saturday's game versus the Jazz, Chris Hine of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
ANALYSIS

Mar 15, 2024
Questionable against Utah
Gobert (ribs) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game versus the Jazz.
ANALYSIS
Gobert is in danger of missing Saturday's contest due to a left rib sprain he suffered against the Clippers. If the defensive stalwart is ruled out, Naz Reid will likely start at center in his absence.
Mar 13, 2024
Tweaks ribs in win
Gobert (ribs) recorded eight points (4-7 FG), 11 rebounds, three assists, two blocks and two steals over 33 minutes during Tuesday's 118-100 win over the Clippers.
ANALYSIS
Gobert left Tuesday's game with 7:18 remaining in the fourth quarter and did not return after Minnesota threw a questionable tag on him. According to Chris Hine of the Minneapolis Star Tribune, Gobert said after the game that he was fine and that nothing was broken, but he did add that it was painful to move and breathe because of the location of the injury. The good news for Gobert is that Minnesota is off until Saturday's game against the Jazz.
Mar 13, 2024
Questionable to return Tuesday
Gobert is questionable to return to Tuesday's game versus the Clippers due to a left rib injury.
ANALYSIS
Gobert left Tuesday's contest with 7:18 remaining in the fourth quarter after getting undercut by Clippers center Ivica Zubac, Dane Moore of 'The Dane Moore NBA Podcast' reports. With the game almost over, it seems likely that Naz Reid will finish out the matchup at center.
Mar 13, 2024
Heads to locker room
Gobert left Tuesday's game versus the Clippers with 7:18 remaining in the fourth quarter to head to the locker room with an apparent injury to his ribs, Justin Russo of the 'Clip & Roll' podcast reports.
ANALYSIS
Gobert tallied eight points (4-7 FG), 11 rebounds, three assists, two steals and two blocks in 33 minutes before exiting Tuesday's contest. If Gobert is unable to return, Naz Reid will likely close out the game at center.
Mar 12, 2024
Will play versus Clippers
Gobert (hamstring) will play versus the Clippers on Tuesday, Chris Hine of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
ANALYSIS
Gobert was unable to play Sunday night against the Lakers, but he has the green light to play Tuesday and coach Chris Finch made no mention of any restrictions. Naz Reid is likely to lose some steam with Minnesota getting some reinforcements.
Mar 11, 2024
Tagged as questionable
Gobert is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Clippers due to right hamstring soreness.
ANALYSIS
Gobert is at risk of missing a second consecutive game due to his nagging hamstring soreness, with Minnesota suffering a loss to the Lakers in his absence Sunday. His status is of critical importance with Karl-Anthony Towns set for a multi-week recovery timeline following knee surgery.
Mar 10, 2024
Ruled out at Lakers
Gobert (hamstring) will not play Sunday against the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
The big man was added to the injury report earlier in the day with a tight hamstring and he'll ultimately be held out as the Wolves take a cautious approach. Minnesota is also down Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) and Kyle Anderson (shoulder), so it should be a high-minute night for Naz Reid up front.
Mar 10, 2024
Late addition to injury report
Gobert is questionable for Sunday's game against the Lakers due to right hamstring tightness.
ANALYSIS
Gobert and Kyle Anderson are late additions to Minnesota's injury report, joining Anthony Edwards (ankle) as questionable. The Timberwolves frontcourt would rely heavily on Naz Reid again if Gobert is sidelined for just the third time his season.
Mar 9, 2024
Grabs 17 boards in OT loss
Gobert produced seven points (3-7 FG, 1-2 FT), 17 rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal across 37 minutes before fouling out of Friday's 113-104 overtime loss to the Cavaliers.
ANALYSIS
The veteran center got slapped with a technical late in the fourth quarter after making a money sign with his fingers at the refs followed his fifth personal foul, and the Timberwolves felt his absence once the game went to OT. Gobert has been on an absolute tear on the glass and at the rim, pulling down at least 14 rebounds in five straight games and seven of eight since the All-Star break while recording multiple rejections in all eight contests. Over that stretch, he's averaging 13.9 points, 15.4 boards, 2.8 blocks and 1.1 assists while shooting 66.2 percent from the floor.
Mar 7, 2024
Double-double vs. Indiana
Gobert racked up 18 points (7-11 FG, 4-5 FT), 14 rebounds, three blocks and two steals across 40 minutes during Thursday's 113-111 victory over Indiana.
ANALYSIS
Gobert registered his 44th double-double of the season Thursday and has reached that mark for the fourth-straight game. He'll have more responsibility grabbing rebounds moving forward with Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) out indefinitely. Over his last 10 games, Gobert has averaged 14.8 points on 66.3 percent shooting, 14.4 rebounds and 2.7 blocks over 36.3 minutes per game.
Mar 5, 2024
Fouls out in win over Portland
Gobert fouled out of Monday's 119-114 win over the Trail Blazers after recording 25 points (9-10 FG, 7-7 FT), 16 rebounds, three blocks and one steal over 39 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Gobert recorded his three consecutive double-doubles, and the Frenchman has been an absolute model of consistency in recent weeks -- he has posted a double-double in all but one of his 13 appearances since the beginning of February. Even though Gobert is not expected to take over a game offensively, he's consistent enough to remain an above-average fantasy alternative in all formats considering everything else he brings to the table.
Mar 3, 2024
Records double-double in loss
Gobert ended with 12 points (5-7 FG, 2-2 FT), 16 rebounds, two assists and three blocks in 40 minutes during Sunday's 89-88 loss to the Clippers.
ANALYSIS
Gobert grabbed 16 rebounds for the second consecutive game, and he's been on an absolute tear in recent weeks, posting 11 double-doubles across his last 12 appearances. The star big man has been an elite performer on both ends of the court this season for Minnesota and has outperformed his ADP in 2023-24, especially considering how poor he looked in 2022-23.
Mar 2, 2024
Double-double against Sacramento
Gobert closed Friday's 124-120 overtime loss to the Kings with 16 points (6-9 FG, 4-8 FT), 16 rebounds, one assist and three blocks across 42 minutes.
ANALYSIS
The veteran center racked up his 41st double-double of the season in 58 games, putting him fifth in the NBA in that category behind Domantas Sabonis (55), Nikola Jokic (49), Anthony Davis (47) and Giannis Antetokounmpo (47). Gobert also recorded multiple blocks for the fifth straight game and the ninth time in his last 12, and over that latter stretch he's averaging 14.8 points, 13.3 boards, 2.3 blocks and 1.3 assists while shooting 66.3 percent from the floor.
Feb 28, 2024
Will play Wednesday
Gobert (ankle) is good to go for Wednesday's game versus Memphis.
ANALYSIS
Gobert will power through the ankle issue and should be slated for his usual minutes, which diminishes the appeal of Naz Reid as a potential streaming option. Gobert managers can go ahead and get him active.
Feb 28, 2024
Iffy for Wednesday
Gobert is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game versus the Grizzlies due to a left ankle sprain.
ANALYSIS
After being upgraded to available Tuesday, a left ankle sprain has Gobert in danger of missing the second half of Minnesota's back-to-back Wednesday. If the 31-year-old center is ruled out, Naz Reid will likely receive increased playing time in his absence.
Feb 28, 2024
Posts double-double in return
Gobert finished Tuesday's 114-105 victory over San Antonio with 13 points (6-12 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 17 rebounds, three assists and four blocks across 39 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Gobert returned to the court after missing Minnesota's previous contest with a left ankle sprain, leading all players in Tuesday's contest in rebounds while pacing the Timberwolves in blocks in a double-double performance. Gobert has recorded at least 10 points and 15 rebounds in 16 games this season, including in two straight outings. He has now tallied at least four blocks in 11 appearances.
Feb 27, 2024
Suiting up against Spurs
Gobert (ankle) is available and in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game versus San Antonio.
ANALYSIS
Gobert has been upgraded from questionable to available Tuesday after missing Minnesota's previous contest with a left ankle sprain. The defensive stalwart is averaging 15.2 points, 13.7 rebounds, 1.9 blocks and 1.3 assists in 34.7 minutes across his last 10 appearances.
Feb 27, 2024
Game-time decision Tuesday
Gobert (ankle) is a game-time decision for Tuesday's game against San Antonio, Jon Krawczynski of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Gobert's status is pivotal for Minnesota with Karl-Anthony Towns inactive while tending to a personal matter. Naz Reid could be in line for a sizable workload, while Victor Wembanyama could be in line for a feeding frenzy if Gobert is unable to suit up.
Feb 26, 2024
Tagged as questionable
Gobert (ankle) is questionable for Tuesday's game against San Antonio.
ANALYSIS
Gobert is at risk of missing his second consecutive game due to a left ankle sprain, but he practiced Monday and appears to be trending in the right direction. Nonetheless, his status will need to be monitored in advance of Tuesday's showdown against his French compatriot Victor Wembanyama.
Feb 26, 2024
Participates in practice
Coach Chris Finch said Gobert (ankle) practiced Monday and is "feeling good," Dane Moore of 'The Dane Moore NBA Podcast' reports.
ANALYSIS
Gobert sprained his ankle during Friday's loss to the Bucks and didn't play during Saturday's win over the Nets. His return to practice is a good sign, but it sounds like he'll still wind up on Minnesota's initial injury report ahead of Tuesday's matchup versus the Spurs, which should drop Monday afternoon.
Feb 24, 2024
Out against Nets
Gobert (ankle) will not play in Saturday's game against the Nets, Jon Krawczynski of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Gobert suffered his ankle injury Friday against the Bucks, but he was carrying a questionable tag prior to this update which suggests that he's likely day-to-day. Luckily for Minnesota, they have two days off after Saturday's contest. Karl-Anthony Towns is likely to get more minutes at center as a result, with guys like Naz Reid, Kyle Anderson and Jaden McDaniels potentially soaking up more minutes as well.
Feb 24, 2024
Questionable versus Nets
Gobert (ankle) has drawn a questionable designation ahead of Saturday's game against the Nets.
ANALYSIS
Gobert sprained his ankle during Friday's 112-107 loss to the Bucks. The big man finished the contest with 12 points (6-8 FG, 0-1 FT), 19 rebounds, two blocks, and he played through the injury. With a quick turnaround into Saturday's tilt, the star big man's status will presumably depend on how he is feeling closer to tipoff. If he ultimately has to sit out, Naz Reid would likely be the prime beneficiary, while Karl-Anthony Towns could also see some extra run at center.
Feb 24, 2024
Sprains ankle in loss
Gobert said he sprained an ankle in Friday's loss to the Bucks, but should be fine, Jace Frederick of St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
ANALYSIS
Gobert played 38 minutes in the loss and didn't appear to be limited by the injury, so he may be able to play Saturday against the Nets. However, watch his status before tip-off and he may be given limited minutes even if he does play. Gobert scored 12 points with 19 rebounds, two blocks and assist in the the loss.
Feb 14, 2024
Stellar numbers continue in win
Gobert closed Tuesday's 121-109 win over Portland with 16 points (7-10 FG, 2-4 FT), 15 rebounds, one assist and one block over 37 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Gobert is on a six-game double-double streak and has hit those milestones against tough competition. He had less trouble against Deandre Ayton and the Portland frontcourt, although Ayton had 16 rebounds to Gobert's 15 boards. Minnesota will match up with Portland again Thursday, and Gobert should enjoy a similar stat line.
Feb 13, 2024
Records double-double in win
Gobert had 17 points (6-10 FG, 5-5 FT), 10 rebounds and four blocks in 33 minutes during Monday's 121-100 win over the Clippers.
ANALYSIS
Gobert extended his double-double streak to five games, and his four swatted balls lifted him to eighth place in the category with a seasonal average of 2.1 blocks per game. In his second season with the Timberwolves, Gobert is averaging 13.8 points and 12.5 rebounds over 52 games.
Feb 7, 2024
Posts double-double in loss
Gobert racked up 12 points (3-6 FG, 6-10 FT), 16 rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal across 44 minutes during Tuesday's 129-123 overtime loss to Chicago.
ANALYSIS
Gobert knows most of his value will come on the defensive end and the glass, as he holds a secondary role in Minnesota's offensive scheme behind Karl-Anthony Towns and Anthony Edwards, but he has been a steady double-double producer of late. The Frenchman has posted seven double-doubles over his last 10 games, a span in which he's averaging 14.8 points, 13.4 rebounds and 1.7 blocks per contest.
Feb 4, 2024
Available, starting Sunday
Gobert (ankle) is starting Sunday's game against the Rockets.
ANALYSIS
Gobert was questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup, but he'll be able to take the floor once again despite his ankle injury. He was also cleared to suit up Friday against Orlando despite a questionable tag, and he totaled 22 points, 16 rebounds, two assists and two blocks in 39 minutes.
Feb 3, 2024
Iffy for Sunday
Gobert is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Rockets with a sprained left ankle.
ANALYSIS
Gobert lands a questionable tag for a second straight contest with a sprained ankle. He played through the injury Friday and logged a double-double across 39 minutes. If he can't suit up Sunday, Naz Reid and Luka Garza would likely handle larger workloads.
Feb 3, 2024
Strong from line in double-double
Gobert produced 22 points (6-7 FG, 10-11 FT), 16 rebounds, two assists and two blocks in 39 minutes during Friday's 108-106 loss to the Magic.
ANALYSIS
Gobert led all players in Friday's contest in rebounds and free throws made while ending with a team-high-tying point total and as the one Timberwolves player with a double-double in a losing effort. Gobert, who also recorded a team-high-tying pair of blocks, has tallied at least 20 points and 15 rebounds in three games this season. He has now posted a double-double in eight of his last 10 contests.
Feb 2, 2024
Will play Friday
Gobert (ankle) will play in Friday's game against Orlando, Dane Moore of 'The Dane Moore NBA Podcast' reports.
ANALYSIS
Gobert has been very durable this season, missing a total of one game. There's no word of any restrictions, but Minnesota will likely watch his ankle closely. In his most recent outing against Dallas on Wednesday, Gobert had 17 points, six rebounds and two blocks in 28 minutes.
Feb 2, 2024
Dealing with ankle sprain
Gobert is questionable for Friday's game against the Magic due to a left ankle sprain.
ANALYSIS
Gobert has missed just one game this season, but his availability for Friday is in jeopardy after being a late addition to the injury report. If the starting center is sidelined, Naz Reid would presumably be the primary beneficiary, even if he doesn't move into the starting lineup. In Gobert's lone absence this season, Kyle Anderson replaced Gobert, moving Karl-Anthony Towns to center, but Reid posted 19 points, 10 rebounds and three assists in 37 minutes off the bench during a 127-120 overtime loss to Boston.
Jan 30, 2024
Nears 20 boards in victory
Gobert recorded 12 points (6-6 FG, 0-1 FT), 18 rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal over 36 minutes during Monday's 107-101 victory over the Thunder.
ANALYSIS
Gobert led all players in Monday's contest in rebounds while ending as one six Timberwolves with a double-digit point total in a double-double performance. Gobert, who ended two boards shy of the 20-rebound mark, has hauled in 18 or more rebounds in six games this year and has now posted a double-double in nine of his last 10 outings.
Jan 26, 2024
Posts another double-double in win
Gobert ended Thursday's 96-94 victory over Brooklyn with 10 points (4-9 FG, 2-2 FT), 13 rebounds, one assist, two blocks and one steal over 33 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Gobert once again led Minnesota in rebounding, leading all players in Thursday's contest in rebounds while ending as one of two Timberwolves with a double-double in a winning effort. Gobert has hauled in 10 or more rebounds in 12 straight games, posting a double-double in nine of those outings.
Jan 25, 2024
Leading rebounder in double-double
Gobert supplied 19 points (7-11 FG, 5-6 FT), 16 rebounds, one assist and four blocks in 35 minutes during Wednesday's 118-107 victory over Washington.
ANALYSIS
Gobert led all players in Wednesday's contest in rebounds and blocks while ending as the lone Timberwolves player with a double-double in a well-rounded performance. Gobert has tallied at least 15 points and 15 boards in nine games this season, posting a double-double in 14 of his last 15 outings.
Jan 21, 2024
Racks up 18 rebounds
Gobert totaled seven points (1-6 FG, 5-8 FT), 18 rebounds and two assists across 33 minutes during Saturday's 102-97 loss to the Thunder.
ANALYSIS
Gobert posted 18-plus rebounds for the fifth time this season, and he's now averaging 14.0 rebounds across his last 10 games. The lack of scoring is disappointing from a putback-threat standpoint, especially in the context of Gobert averaging 19.4 points on 72.3 percent shooting across his last five games entering Saturday. Gobert is amid a strong stretch, but his season-long 66.2 percent shooting at the rim is his lowest mark since the 2015-16 campaign.
Jan 15, 2024
Another double-double
Gobert recorded 15 points (4-5 FG, 7-14 FT), 18 rebounds and four blocks over 37 minutes during Sunday's 109-105 victory over the Clippers.
ANALYSIS
Gobert struggled from the free throw line, but that's perhaps the only blemish in his performance, as he was efficient from the field and absolutely dominant near the rim. This was his sixth game with at least four blocks, and it was also the fourth time in which he grabbed 18 or more boards. Gobert is averaging 13.9 points, 13.7 rebounds and 1.7 blocks per game in seven January appearances.
Jan 12, 2024
Dominates to lead team in return
Gobert finished with 24 points (9-11 FG, 6-8 FT), 17 rebounds and two blocks over 29 minutes in Friday's 116-93 win over Portland.
ANALYSIS
Gobert returned after missing the previous game with a hip injury, leading all players in Friday's contest in scoring and rebounds while adding a pair of blocks and ending three boards short of the 20-rebound mark in just under 30 minutes. Gobert posted his second-highest point total of the season while reeling in his sixth game with 17 or more rebounds.
Jan 12, 2024
Good to go Friday
Gobert (hip) is available for Friday's game against Portland.
ANALYSIS
Gobert has the green light to return to the lineup after sitting out Wednesday's game versus Boston. Kyle Anderson filled in admirably for Gobert on Wednesday, scoring 17 points (7-12 FG, 3-4 FT) with eight rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal across 39 minutes.
Jan 11, 2024
Questionable against Portland
Gobert (hip) is listed as questionable for Friday's game versus the Trail Blazers.
ANALYSIS
Gobert is in danger of missing his second consecutive game Friday due to left hip soreness. If the star center is ruled, Naz Reid and Kyle Anderson will likely continue to receive extended playing time.
Jan 10, 2024
Won't play Wednesday
Gobert (hip) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Celtics, Alan Horton of the Timberwolves Radio Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Gobert was questionable for Wednesday's matchup due to a sore left hip, and he'll be sidelined for the second half of a back-to-back set. Naz Reid, Kyle Anderson and Troy Brown could see additional playing time Wednesday, while Gobert's next chance to return will be Friday against the Trail Blazers.
Jan 10, 2024
Iffy for Wednesday
Gobert is questionable for Wednesday's game against Boston due to left hip soreness.
ANALYSIS
Gobert posted 21 points, 12 rebounds and three blocks in 34 minutes during Tuesday's 21-point win over the Magic, but he may take a seat for the second half of Minnesota's back-to-back set. If he's sidelined, Naz Reid, Kyle Anderson and Troy Brown would be candidates for increased minutes.
Jan 9, 2024
Registers double-double vs. Magic
Gobert closed with 21 points (8-10 FG, 5-6 FT), 12 rebounds, one assist, three blocks and one steal in 34 minutes during Tuesday's 113-92 win over Orlando.
ANALYSIS
Tuesday marked the 23rd time this season Gobert has recorded a double-double, which is tied with reigning MVP Joel Embiid for sixth-most in the NBA. Gobert has grabbed 12 or more boards in five of his last six games and has blocked two or more shots in two of his last three appearances.
Jan 1, 2024
Third straight double-double Monday
Gobert ended with 10 points (3-8 FG, 4-6 FT), 15 rebounds and one assist in 38 minutes during Monday's 112-106 loss to New York.
ANALYSIS
The veteran center has delivered three straight double-doubles and five in the last six games en route to 21 through 31 contests. Gobert's looking much more comfortable in his second season with Minnesota, and over that six-game surge he's averaging 14.8 points, 12.3 boards, 1.5 blocks and 1.2 assists.
Dec 29, 2023
Top rebounder in double-double
Gobert closed with 20 points (7-7 FG, 6-7 FT), 11 rebounds, two assists and three blocks across 38 minutes during Thursday's 118-110 win over the Mavericks.
ANALYSIS
Gobert led all Timberwolves in rebounds while finishing as one of two players with 20 or more points in a double-double performance at home. Gobert has hauled in 10 or more rebounds in six of his last 10 outings and has posted a double-double in 19 games this year.
Dec 24, 2023
Massive double-double in win
Gobert recorded 21 points (10-13 FG, 1-2 FT), 17 rebounds, one assist and two blocks in 39 minutes during Saturday's 110-98 win over the Kings.
ANALYSIS
Gobert turned in an excellent line with Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) unavailable, as the veteran carried a heavier load with his teammate absent. The result was Gobert's highest rebound total since his 20 boards against Memphis on Dec. 8, as well as his second-best scoring total of the season. Towns' knee injury doesn't appear to be serious, so typical numbers should be expected for Gobert Tuesday against the Thunder.
Dec 22, 2023
Double-double against Lakers
Gobert racked up 15 points (6-12 FG, 3-6 FT), 13 rebounds, three assists, three blocks and one steal over 37 minutes during Thursday's 118-111 win over the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
The veteran center produced his first double-double in six games and 17th of the season, and the early exit of Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) may have played a part in boosting Gobert's numbers. The two big men have found some chemistry this season in the Minnesota frontcourt, but if Towns' injury proves to be serious, Gobert's value should see a significant jump.
Dec 19, 2023
Top rebounder in near double-double
Gobert finished with nine points (3-8 FG, 3-4 FT), 16 rebounds, two assists, two blocks and two steals across 35 minutes during Monday's 112-108 victory over Miami.
ANALYSIS
Gobert led all players in Monday's contest in rebounds while finishing one point short of a double-double.

Gobert has finished in double figures in boards on 20 occasions this year.
Dec 9, 2023
Second straight 20 rebound game

ANALYSIS
Gobert led all players in Friday's game in rebounds while ending as the lone player with a double-double in his second straight game with 20 rebounds. Gobert, who also led all players with a season-high in blocks, has hauled in 20 or more rebounds in three games this year and has posted a double-double in 16 contests.
Dec 7, 2023
Hauls in 20 boards in double-double
Gobert recorded 16 points (7-8 FG, 2-2 FT), 20 rebounds, two assists and two blocks in 30 minutes during Wednesday's 102-94 win over the Spurs.
ANALYSIS
Gobert led all players in Wednesday's game in rebounds while finishing as one of five Wolves with a double-digit point total en route to posting a 15-point, 20-rebound performance. Gobert has hauled in 20 or more rebounds in two games this season, accompanying that with 15 or more points in both contests. Gobert tallied his 32nd game with at least 15 points and 15 rebounds while shooting 80% of better, tying Dwight Howard for most such games since the NBA-ABA merger.
Dec 2, 2023
Dominant with 26 points
Gobert finished Saturday's 123-117 win over Charlotte with 26 points (10-12 FG, 6-9 FT), 12 rebounds and three blocks over 39 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Gobert was carrying a questionable tag into Saturday's game, but he certainly didn't look limited in the win. Gobert's 26 points mark a new season high, and it was nine points higher than his previous best (17). Anthony Edwards (hip) missed his second straight contest, so Gobert picked up a lot of the slack, finishing 10-of-12 from the field. He has also been dominant on the defensive end lately, averaging 3.3 blocks over his last three contests.
Dec 2, 2023
Good to go
Gobert (hip) is good to go for Saturday's game against the Hornets, Alan Horton of the Timberwolves Radio Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Gobert was a late addition to the Timberwolves' injury report due to left hip soreness. It looks like he is feeling good enough to give it a go after testing things out. Barring any setbacks, look for the big man to take on his usual role at center.
Dec 2, 2023
Added to injury report
Gobert is now listed as questionable for Saturday's game in Charlotte due to left hip soreness, Jace Frederick of St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
ANALYSIS
Gobert is a late addition to the Timberwolves' injury report. If he ultimately has to sit out, Naz Reid would be the prime beneficiary, Karl-Anthony Towns could see more minutes at center and Kyle Anderson could see some extra run providing depth at power forward. Also, Luka Garza would be an option to enter the rotation for depth center minutes. More clarity on Gobert's status should come after he tests things out during pregame warmups.
Nov 29, 2023
Grabs 16 rebounds in win
Gobert finished Tuesday's 106-103 victory over Oklahoma City with 17 points (6-10 FG, 5-6 FT), 16 rebounds, four blocks and one steal over 36 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Gobert continues to deliver strong performances night in and night out for the Timberwolves, and this was his fourth double-double across his last six appearances. While he's never going to have a go-to role on offense, Gobert has also been consistent on that front, scoring in double figures in each of those six aforementioned contests as well. Gobert is averaging 12.0 points and 11.1 rebounds per game in November.
Nov 25, 2023
Double-double against Kings
Gobert amassed 12 points (5-8 FG, 2-2 FT), 11 rebounds and two blocks across 36 minutes during Friday's 124-111 loss to the Kings.
ANALYSIS
The veteran center is up to 11 double-doubles through 15 games to begin the season, a big improvement on his first season with the Timberwolves when he managed only 35 in 70 contests. Gobert has also recorded multiple blocks in 11 games, and his 2.2 blocks per game is back in the range he lived in with Utah. Minnesota is 11-4 so far, and the decision to run it back with Gobert and Karl-Anthony Towns and give the duo a chance to develop some chemistry in the frontcourt is paying dividends.
Nov 19, 2023
Strong double-double Saturday
Gobert compiled 17 points (5-7 FG, 7-10 FT), 11 rebounds, two steals, one assist and one block in 34 minutes during a 121-120 victory over the Pelicans on Saturday.
ANALYSIS
Gobert continues to put together a much-improved season, Rolling out another double-double. Despite the Pelicans sending him to the line on numerous occasions, Gobert remained focused, shooting an impressive 7-of-10 from the stripe. The Timberwolves are flying high right now as they look to make a real impact this season. After a poor 2022-23 campaign, Gobert is thus far proving to be a nice value pick in standard fantasy leagues.
Nov 15, 2023
Top rebounder in near double-double
Gobert finished Tuesday's 104-101 victory over the Warriors with nine points (2-8 FG, 5-6 FT), 13 rebounds, two assists and three blocks across 35 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Gobert lead all players in Tuesday's game in rebounds while finishing one point short of a double-double to lead the Timberwolves in the paint. Gobert also recorded a team-leading blocks total, posting his second straight game with at least three blocks. Gobert has hauled in 10 or more rebounds in all 10 appearances so far this season.
Nov 13, 2023
Swats season-high five balls
Gobert chipped in 10 points (4-7 FG, 2-8 FT), 10 rebounds, three assists, five blocks and one steal over 35 minutes during Sunday's 116-110 victory over Golden State.
ANALYSIS
Gobert was an imposing presence in the paint during Sunday's win, and he's delivering his usual averages in the early stages of the season. A nightly doublle-double threat, Gobert has hit that milestone in eight of his first nine games.
Nov 9, 2023
Strong on glass in double-double
Gobert amassed 17 points (4-5 FG, 9-12 FT), 21 rebounds, one assist and two blocks across 32 minutes during Wednesday's 122-101 win over New Orleans.
ANALYSIS
Gobert led all players in Wednesday's contest in rebounds while surpassing the 20-rebound mark for the first time of the season. Gobert, who also notched a season-high point total, has recorded a double-double in six of his seven appearances this year.
Nov 7, 2023
Top rebounder in double-double
Gobert recorded 14 points (6-6 FG, 2-11 FT), 12 rebounds, one assist and one block in 41 minutes during Monday's 114-109 overtime win over the Celtics.
ANALYSIS
Gobert led all players in Monday's contest in rebounds while posting a double-double outing in an overtime victory over the Celtics. Gobert has owned the paint for Minnesota this season, surpassing a double-digit rebound total in all six contests while finishing with a double-double in five of those six games.
Nov 4, 2023
Decent against former team
Gobert closed Saturday's 123-95 victory over the Jazz with 11 points (5-10 FG, 1-2 FT), 10 rebounds, one assist and four blocks across 28 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Gobert had to deal with Walker Kessler, but he outplayed the second-year big man and finished with a double-double despite holding a secondary role in the offensive scheme. Gobert seems to be adjusting better to his role compared to his 2022-23 struggles, and the veteran has four double-doubles across five outings while racking up double-digit boards each time.
Oct 31, 2023
Third straight double-double Monday
Gobert totaled 14 points (3-7 FG, 8-11 FT), 13 rebounds, one assist, two blocks and one steal over 31 minutes during Monday's 127-113 loss to the Hawks.
ANALYSIS
The former Utah center has had a strong start to his second season with Minnesota, delivering three straight double-doubles with a total of four steals and six blocks. Gobert's 57.1 percent shooting is actually below his career mark of 65.3 percent, so there's even room for growth in his scoring, but his production is only half of the equation for the Timberwolves, and Karl-Anthony Towns has stumbled out of the gate.
Oct 29, 2023
Efficient double-double
Gobert notched 14 points (7-9 FG), 14 rebounds, one assist and one steal across 31 minutes during Saturday's 106-90 win over Miami.
ANALYSIS
Gobert rarely missed from the field and posted a solid stat line on both ends of the court. The Frenchman has opened the campaign with back-to-back double-doubles, and while two games are not enough to establish a reliable sample size, the early returns are encouraging, and Gobert has shown signs of being the player he was with the Jazz instead of the one that struggled with Minnesota last season.
Oct 26, 2023
Has success in paint in defeat
Gobert chipped in 15 points (6-12 FG, 3-5 FT), 13 rebounds, one assist, four blocks and two steals in 32 minutes during Wednesday's 97-94 loss to Toronto.
ANALYSIS
Gobert finished second on the team in rebounds while tallying a team-high-tying block total and ending Wednesday's regular-season opener as one of five Wolves players with a double-digit point total in the loss to Toronto. In his first season in Minnesota in 2022-23, Gobert ranked tied for 14th in double-double, posting 35 double-doubles in 70 appearances.
Oct 16, 2023
Slated for limited action
Coach Chris Finch said Gobert and the rest of Minnesota's regulars won't see much playing time during Tuesday's exhibition versus Maccabi, Jon Krawczynski of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Finch said he wants to give the guys competing for roster spots extended minutes during the exhibition, but Gobert should be back to a full workload for Minnesota's preseason finale against Chicago on Thursday.
Oct 15, 2023
Deja vu offensively
Gobert supplied four points (1-1 FG, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds, one assist and two steals across 22 minutes in Tuesday's 121-112 win over the Knicks
ANALYSIS
Gobert's lack of involvement offensively strongly resembles his production at times throughout last season. There's a conscious effort to get him more involved, through Mike Conley, Anthony Edwards and even the passing of Karl-Anthony Towns, but it remains to be seen if Gobert can exceed the 7.8 shots per game he averaged in 2022-23.
Oct 6, 2023
Nearly misses out on double-double
Gobert recorded nine points (3-6 FG, 3-4 FT), eight rebounds and three blocks in 23 minutes during Thursday's 111-99 win over the Mavericks.
ANALYSIS
Gobert led the Timberwolves in minutes during the team's preseason opener. The three-time Defensive Player of the Year saw a dip in points, rebounds and blocks during his first season in Minnesota in 2022-23. However, the franchise appears committed to starting Gobert alongside Karl-Anthony Towns in the frontcourt again this year.
Apr 26, 2023
Records double-double in loss
Gobert registered 16 points (5-6 FG, 6-9 FT), 15 rebounds, two assists and two steals in 40 minutes before fouling out of Tuesday's 112-109 loss to the Nuggets in Game 5 of the Western Conference Quarterfinals.
ANALYSIS
The duo of Gobert and Karl-Anthony Towns was expected to bring an imposing force to Minnesota's frontcourt, but the team barely broke even after Gobert's acquisition and crept into the quarterfinals via the play-in bracket. Gobert was his usual productive self as a scorer and rebounder, but his 2023 season averages of 13.4 points and 11.6 rebounds were his lowest results since his sophomore season in 2015.
Apr 24, 2023
Churns out double-double
Gobert closed with 14 points (7-14 FG), 15 rebounds, one assist and two blocks in 39 minutes during Sunday's 114-108 overtime victory over the Nuggets in Game 4 of the Western Conference Quarterfinals.
ANALYSIS
Gobert logged almost 40 minutes in the overtime win, recording his second-straight double-double against Denver. It's not easy to pull down 15 rebounds against Nikola Jokic, but Gobert actually recorded four more rebounds than the MVP candidate and was pivotal in keeping the Timberwolves' playoff hopes alive.
Apr 21, 2023
Good to go for Game 3
Gobert (back) is in the starting five for Game 3 versus the Nuggets on Friday.
ANALYSIS
Gobert has been upgraded from questionable to available Friday despite dealing with back spasms. He will start alongside Karl-Anthony Towns in the frontcourt and should get the primary defensive assignment on Nikola Jokic.
Apr 20, 2023
Questionable for Game 3
Gobert (back) is questionable for Friday's Game 3 against the Nuggets.
ANALYSIS
Gobert continues to deal with back spasms, but he's suited up in the first two playoff matchups. He's averaged 13.5 points and 10.5 rebounds in 32.5 minutes per game over the first two matchups in the series, and it wouldn't be surprising to see him available again Friday.
Apr 20, 2023
Decent but not enough
Gobert racked up 19 points (7-11 FG, 5-6 FT), eight rebounds, four assists and one block in 39 minutes during Wednesday's 122-113 loss to the Nuggets in Game 2 of the Western Conference Quarterfinals.
ANALYSIS
Gobert had a decent overall showing and made his presence felt on both ends of the court, but he's still playing a few ticks below his expectations. He's struggling against Nikola Jokic, and while asking him to do more offensively would be a stretch, he needs to do better on the defensive end. He's recorded just three blocks while allowing Jokic to shoot 51.6 percent from the field in the first two games of the series.
Apr 19, 2023
Available to play
Gobert (back) is available for Wednesday's Game 2 versus Denver.
ANALYSIS
Gobert said earlier in the day Wednesday that his back was feeling significantly better, so it's not surprising to see him cleared for Game 2, and perhaps he'll be able to log more than the 26 minutes he played in Game 1. He'll start alongside Mike Conley, Anthony Edwards, Taurean Prince and Karl-Anthony Towns.
Apr 19, 2023
Back feeling better
Gobert said his back is "night and day" better than it was on Sunday ahead of Game 2 against Denver on Wednesday, Jace Frederick of St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
ANALYSIS
Despite being listed as questionable Wednesday with back spasms, it appears that Gobert will be good to go for Game 2. He recorded eight points, 13 rebounds and two blocks in 26 minutes in Game 1 while also being Nikola Jokic's primary defender.
Apr 18, 2023
Status uncertain Wednesday
Gobert is questionable for Game 2 of the Western Conference First Round against the Nuggets on Wednesday due to back spasms.
ANALYSIS
Gobert continues to deal with a lingering back issue but was able to suit up Sunday. If Gobert is unable to suit up, Kyle Anderson, Taurean Prince and Nathan Knight are all candidates to receive increased playing time.
Apr 16, 2023
Starting Sunday
Gobert (back) is starting Game 1 of the Western Conference First Round against the Nuggets on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Gobert was questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup due to a lingering back issue, but he participated in the team's morning shootaround and will be in the starting lineup to begin the playoffs. Over his final five regular-season appearances, he averaged 9.6 points, 10.8 rebounds and 2.2 assists in 28.4 minutes per game.
Apr 16, 2023
Participates in shootaround
Gobert (back) is officially listed as questionable, but he was spotted participating in shootaround ahead of Sunday's Game 1 tilt in Denver, Mike Singer of The Denver Post reports.
ANALYSIS
Gobert continues to deal with a back issue, but given he posted 21 points and 10 rebounds in 33 minutes after being listed as questionable ahead of Minnesota's final Play-In Game versus Oklahoma City on Friday, the veteran big man appears to be trending more toward probable at this point. However, if he's sidelined, the Timberwolves' frontcourt depth will be tested, as Naz Reid remains out following wrist surgery.
Apr 15, 2023
Still battling back issues
Gobert is questionable for Sunday's game against Denver due to back spasms.
ANALYSIS
Gobert was also listed as questionable for Friday's Play-In Game against the Thunder but managed to play through the injury and log a double-double in 33 minutes of action. Considering he didn't face any limitations Friday from a workload perspective, it's likely he will play through the injury once again unless he suffers a setback leading up to the contest.
Apr 15, 2023
Quells back issue in double-double
Gobert supplied 21 points (6-11 FG, 9-14 FT), 10 rebounds and two assists in 33 minutes during Friday's 120-95 play-in game win over the Thunder.
ANALYSIS
Gobert looked stiff on the court at times while playing through lingering back spasms, but he overcame the injury to finish with a double-double. The big man ranked second on Minnesota in scoring behind Karl-Anthony Towns, surpassing the 20-point mark after doing so just 11 times over 70 regular-season contests. Gobert and the Wolves took advantage of their height advantage to down OKC, but it remains to be seen if they'll be able to effectively take the same approach in the first round of the playoffs against Nikola Jokic and the Nuggets.
Apr 14, 2023
Good to go Friday
Gobert (back) will start Friday's game against the Thunder.
ANALYSIS
After serving a one-game suspension against the Lakers, Gobert popped up on the injury report with a back issue that has been plaguing him for a while. He was struggling a good bit to finish the regular season, so it will be interesting to see how he fares against a smaller Oklahoma City roster.
Apr 13, 2023
Officially questionable
Gobert (back) is questionable for Friday's Play-In Game against the Thunder.
ANALYSIS
Gobert was suspended for the Timberwolves' opening Play-In Game against the Lakers after getting into an altercation with Kyle Anderson in the regular-season finale but is now questionable for Friday's game with back spasms. Coach Chris Finch said Thursday it's uncertain if Gobert will be available due to the issue. His availability is worth monitoring ahead of Friday's 9:30 EST tipoff considering he ripped through the OKC frontcourt in both matchups he was healthy enough to play 20-plus minutes, averaging 19.0 points and 15.5 rebounds over 29.0 minutes.
Apr 13, 2023
Iffy Friday
Coach Chris Finch said Gobert is deal with back spasms and his status for Friday's Play-In Game versus the Thunder is uncertain, Jon Krawczynski of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Finch said he is hopeful that Gobert will play Friday after being suspended for Tuesday's game due to an altercation with teammate Kyle Anderson. Kyle Anderson started in Gobert's place against the Lakers, so he would likely do so again if the 30-year-old big man is unable to suit up.
Apr 10, 2023
Suspended for Tuesday
Gobert has been suspended for Tuesday's game against the Lakers for his altercation with Kyle Anderson according to Shams Charania of The Athletic.
ANALYSIS
This is a brutal blow for Minnesota, as they will also be without Jaden McDaniels due to a hand fracture. Minnesota will need to get creative with their lineups, and it's likely that Kyle Anderson plays a ton of minutes against the Lakers for his two-way versatility.
Apr 9, 2023
Gets into altercation with teammate
Gobert was sent home from Sunday's game after getting into an altercation with Kyle Anderson, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Gobert got into a heated argument with Anderson during a timeout and threw a punch at him, after which, the two were separated and Gobert was escorted out of the arena. It's unclear if Gobert will face further punishment from the team, but Taurean Prince started the second half, so he will benefit if Gobert gets suspended.
Apr 9, 2023
Starting Sunday
Gobert (back) is starting Sunday against the Pelicans.
ANALYSIS
Gobert was questionable for Sunday's matchup due to back spasms, but he'll be able to suit up for the final game of the regular season. However, it's possible his playing time is monitored since the team has already clinched a spot in the Play-In Tournament.
Apr 9, 2023
Late addition to injury report
Gobert is questionable for Sunday's game against the Pelicans due to back spasms.
ANALYSIS
Gobert and Karl-Anthony Towns (calf) were both late additions to the injury report and join Austin Rivers (illness) and Jaylen Nowell (knee) as questionable. If both of Minnesota's big men are ruled out, Nathan Knight, Luka Garza, Taurean Prince and Kyle Anderson would all be candidates for increased roles.
Apr 2, 2023
Leading rebounder in double-double
Gobert supplied 10 points (5-10 FG), 15 rebounds and three assists over 35 minutes during Sunday's 107-105 loss to Portland.
ANALYSIS
Gobert led all players in Sunday's game in rebounds while finishing as one of five Wolves in double figures in scoring in a double-double performance. Gobert has posted a double-double in seven of his last 10 games, including in two straight outings.
Mar 30, 2023
Productive on boards
Gobert recorded seven points (3-5 FG, 1-2 FT), 15 rebounds, two assists and two steals over 35 minutes during Wednesday's 107-100 loss to Phoenix.
ANALYSIS
Gobert didn't have much shot volume during Wednesday's matchup and was held below 10 points for the first time since March 7, but he led the team on the boards while reaching the 15-rebound threshold for the fourth time over his last seven outings. Across that span, he's averaged 13.7 points and 14.1 rebounds in 34.0 minutes per game.
Mar 28, 2023
Strong double-double in win
Gobert supplied 16 points (5-9 FG, 6-8 FT), 16 rebounds, four assists and two blocks in 35 minutes during Monday's 119-115 win over Sacramento.
ANALYSIS
Gobert finished with at least 15 points, 15 rebounds and two blocks for the second time over his past six appearances. During that stretch, the veteran center has averaged 14.8 points, 14.0 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.8 blocks in 33.8 minutes.
Mar 20, 2023
Available Monday
Gobert (ankle) is available for Monday's game against New York.
ANALYSIS
Gobert was questionable for Monday's matchup but will be able to suit up once again despite his lingering ankle issue. He's played at least 30 minutes in four of his last five appearances and has averaged 18.0 points, 11.6 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 2.0 blocks in 33.0 minutes per game during that time.
Mar 19, 2023
Questionable Monday
Gobert (ankle) is questionable for Monday's game in New York.
ANALYSIS
Gobert has been listed as "questionable" the past four games for the Timberwolves, but he's been powering through the ankle issue, so he feels a bit closer to "probable." He'll likely be a game-time call Monday night, but if he's not able to give it a go, Naz Reid (calf) would make for a quality streamer.
Mar 18, 2023
Available Saturday
Gobert (ankle) is available for Saturday's matchup against the Raptors.
ANALYSIS
Despite a lingering ankle injury, Gobert will appear in a ninth straight game. Over the past eight, he's averaged 16.6 points, 11.3 rebounds, 2.0 blocks, 1.9 assists and 1.1 steals in 30.8 minutes.
Mar 18, 2023
Questionable at Toronto
Gobert (ankle) is questionable for Saturday's matchup against the Raptors.
ANALYSIS
Gobert is dealing with a lingering ankle injury and could be part of a reduced Timberwolves crew Saturday, as Anthony Edwards (ankle) is also questionable. Naz Reid's (calf) status is in question as well, so if both centers are out, Nathan Knight could see extra run.
Mar 18, 2023
Plays well before fouling out
Gobert fouled out of Friday's 139-131 double-overtime loss to the Bulls after recording 21 points (8-14 FG, 5-9 FT), 19 rebounds, one assist and five blocks in 33 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Gobert came into this game with a questionable tag due to an ankle issue, but he was moving around really well. The contest went into double overtime, but the big man fouled out in 33 minutes. The Timberwolves play again Saturday against the Raptors, so fantasy managers will want to check the injury report to see if any players will be held out for maintenance.
Mar 17, 2023
Cleared to play Friday
Gobert (ankle) has been cleared for Friday's game against the Bulls.
ANALYSIS
Gobert has been no stranger to questionable tags in recent weeks, but he'll play in his eighth straight contest Friday night. With Minnesota playing again Saturday against the Raptors, it's possible that a maintenance day could be on the table.
Mar 16, 2023
Questionable against Chicago
Gobert is questionable for Friday's game versus the Bulls due to a left ankle sprain.
ANALYSIS
Gobert may miss his first game since Feb. 26 on Friday. Naz Reid (calf) and Nathan Knight would be candidates to see extended minutes if Gobert is ruled out.
Mar 16, 2023
Efficient from field in loss
Gobert ended Wednesday's 104-102 loss to Boston with 15 points (6-8 FG, 3-7 FT), six rebounds, one assist and one steal across 29 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Gobert missed just two shots from the field in Wednesday's loss, but there's no question the Timberwolves expect -- and need -- more out of him. He's failed to repeat the same numbers he had in past seasons with the Jazz, and the towering Frenchman has taken a step back in most of the major categories this season compared to previous years. He's only averaging 16.0 points, 10.7 rebounds and 1.5 blocks per game in six March outings.
Mar 15, 2023
In starting lineup
Gobert (ankle) will play in Wednesday's game against the Celtics.
ANALYSIS
Gobert was initially tabbed questionable Wednesday with a sprained left ankle but has received the green light ahead of the tilt. In his last six appearances, Gobert has averaged 16.2 points, 10.8 rebounds and 2.2 assists over 30.7 minutes.
Mar 14, 2023
Questionable for Wednesday
Gobert (left ankle sprain) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Celtics.
ANALYSIS
Naz Reid (left calf) is also questionable for Wednesday's game, so if both those guys are forced to the sidelines, Nathan Knight could be forced into big minutes and Kyle Anderson would get all the run he could handle. Gobert managers will need to check back for another update closer to Wednesday's tip.
Mar 14, 2023
Excels while playing through injury
Gobert (ankle) tallied 14 points (5-10 FG, 4-5 FT), eight rebounds, four assists, three blocks and one steal in 30 minutes in Monday's 136-115 win over the Hawks.
ANALYSIS
Gobert's status was cloudy heading into the day while he managed a left ankle sprain, but the veteran center showed no sign of being affected by the injury while taking on a normal minutes count Monday. Though the Timberwolves may have some buyer's remorse about giving up a cache of draft picks and players to acquire Gobert from the Jazz this past summer, the 30-year-old has at least stepped up his play of late. Over his seven appearances since the All-Star break, Gobert is shooting 63.9 percent from the floor and is averaging 16.3 points, 10.7 boards, 2.0 blocks, 1.9 assists and 1.3 steals.
Mar 13, 2023
Good to go
Gobert (ankle) has been cleared to play Monday against the Hawks.
ANALYSIS
Gobert was listed as a game-time decision earlier in the day due to a left ankle sprain, but he's since been given the green light. He should play a full complement of minutes following a stellar 26-point performance Friday against the Nets.
Mar 12, 2023
Questionable Monday
Gobert (left ankle sprain) is questionable for Monday's matchup with the Hawks.
ANALYSIS
Gobert rolled his ankle during the fourth quarter of Friday's game, and while he was able to play through it, it appears it swelled up on him. He'll test his ankle at Monday's shootaround, but if he's not able to give it a go, Naz Reid would likely get a spot start and he'd make for an attractive streamer. Stay tuned.
Mar 11, 2023
Huge night Friday
Gobert posted 26 points (12-15 FG, 2-6 FT), 13 rebounds, four assists, one block and four steals over 42 minutes during Friday's 124-123 overtime loss to the Nets.
ANALYSIS
Gobert had arguably his best game since joining the Timberwolves, going for 26-and-13 to go with five defensive stats. The arrival of Mike Conley has certainly done wonders for Gobert, allowing him to look more like the player managers were hoping for earlier in the season. The hope is that he can continue to build on these recent performances; however, managers will want to keep an eye on the injury report ahead of Monday's game against the Hawks. While Gobert was able to close the game, he did appear to roll his ankle early in the fourth quarter.
Mar 7, 2023
Dominated in blowout loss
Gobert finished with six points (2-6 FG, 2-4 FT), nine rebounds, two assists, one block and two steals across 25 minutes during Tuesday's 117-94 loss to Philadelphia.
ANALYSIS
Gobert was no match for Joel Embiid in the loss, basically played out of the game at times. This performance really highlighted what a struggle it has been for Gobert this season. His lack of lateral movement and overall speed limits where he can play, especially on the defensive end. With centers becoming more versatile with their offensive skillset, it feels as though Gobert is being left behind. With no prospect of expanding his range beyond about three feet, Gobert's long-term value, or lack thereof, is cause for concern.

Grabs 14 rebounds in win
Gobert provided 13 points (5-9 FG, 3-4 FT), 14 rebounds and two blocks over 31 minutes during Saturday's 138-134 victory over Sacramento.
ANALYSIS
Gobert has hit the double-double mark in five of his last six games. The veteran's shot-blocking has also been on point, with 12 swats over the six-game span. Gobert has struggled to stay healthy at various points during the season, but he remains one of the league's best defenders and will continue to be an excellent rebounding source.
Mar 4, 2023
Snatches 14 boards
Gobert recorded 22 points (8-12 FG, 6-10 FT), 14 rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal across 27 minutes during Friday's 110-102 victory over the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
Gobert turned in an impressive all-around performance, shooting 66.7 percent from the field while also adding six points from the charity stripe. He also tallied a double-double with the help of his effort on the glass, securing five of his 14 rebounds on the offensive end. Gobert has notched a double-double in four of his last five appearances.
Feb 28, 2023
Available to play Tuesday
Gobert (illness) is available for Tuesday against the Clippers.
ANALYSIS
Gobert is back from a one-game absence and is expected to rejoin the starting lineup which would most likely send Naz Reid back to the bench. It will be interesting to see if Reid stays heavily involved after erupting for 30 points and nine rebounds Sunday against the Warriors.
Feb 27, 2023
Probable Tuesday
Gobert (illness) is probable for Tuesday's game against the Clippers.
ANALYSIS
Gobert sat out Sunday's game with a minor illness, but it looks like he'll be back in action on Tuesday night to take on the Clippers. His return should shift Naz Reid back to the second unit and Nathan Knight might drop from the rotation entirely.
Feb 26, 2023
Won't play Sunday
Gobert (illness) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Warriors, Alan Horton of the Timberwolves Radio Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Gobert was a late addition to Sunday's injury report due to his illness, and he'll be unable to suit up against Golden State. Naz Reid and Nathan Knight should see additional playing time Sunday, while Gobert's next chance to return will be Tuesday against the Clippers.
Feb 26, 2023
Questionable Sunday
Gobert (illness) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Warriors.
ANALYSIS
Gobert is a late addition to the injury report with an illness, so he's essentially going to be a game-time call for Sunday's game. If he can't give it a go, Naz Reid would get the opportunity for a spot start and there would be more minutes available for guys like Luka Garza and Nathan Knight. Stay tuned.
Feb 25, 2023
Third straight double-double
Gobert finished Friday's 121-113 loss to Charlotte with 17 points (7-9 FG, 3-4 FT), 10 rebounds, three blocks and one steal in 30 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Gobert recorded his third double-double in as many games, notably scoring at least 17 points in all of those contests. That is a positive sign for someone who had only been averaging in the low teens all season, so fantasy managers should keep an eye on his recent increase in shot volume. They should also be thrilled that he recorded three blocks in his second consecutive game, something he hadn't done all season up to this point.
Feb 17, 2023
Posts strong double-double
Gobert ended with 17 points (8-15 FG, 1-2 FT), 19 rebounds, one assist and three blocks across 35 minutes during Thursday's 114-106 loss to the Wizards.
ANALYSIS
Gobert posted a stat line similar to the ones he often delivered when he was a member of the Jazz, dominating the glass and contributing defensively while also putting up double-digit points. Gobert has been heavily criticized in his first year with Minnesota, but he remains a valuable fantasy asset due to his ability to produce on both ends of the court. He's only averaging 12.8 points and 11.1 rebounds per game while shooting 68.6 percent from the field since the start of January.
Feb 16, 2023
Available Thursday
Gobert (groin) will play in Thursday's game against the Wizards.
ANALYSIS
Gobert has dealt with lingering soreness in his right groin but will give it a go for the Timberwolves' last game before the All-Star break. Gobert has been limited by the injury over his last five appearances, averaging 12.0 points and 8.8 rebounds across 24.4 minutes but was able to log 30 minutes last time out.
Feb 15, 2023
Questionable Thursday
Gobert (groin) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Wizards.
ANALYSIS
Gobert continues to deal with a sore right groin, but he's suited up in the last two matchups and has averaged 14.5 points and 12.0 rebounds in 29.5 minutes per game during that time. If he's sidelined for Minnesota's final game before the All-Star break, Naz Reid should see additional run.
Feb 14, 2023
Dominates on glass
Gobert ended Monday's 124-121 victory over Dallas with 21 points (9-9 FG, 3-5 FT), 14 rebounds and one assist over 30 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Gobert secured his first double-double of February with a strong showing on the offensive end. He didn't miss a shot from the field and collected three of his 14 boards on the offensive glass. This was a reassuring performance for fantasy managers, as Gobert had been held to eight total points and 15 rebounds in his last two contests prior to Monday's clash, though it's worth noting he'd been nursing a groin injury.
Feb 13, 2023
Active Monday
Gobert (groin) is starting Monday's contest against the Mavericks.
ANALYSIS
Despite dealing with a lingering groin injury, Gobert will make his second straight appearance for the Timberwolves. The veteran center is averaging 12.2 points, 11.0 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 1.4 blocks across 29.9 minutes per game over his past nine appearances.
Feb 12, 2023
Questionable Monday at Dallas
Gobert (groin) is listed as questionable for Monday's game at Dallas.
ANALYSIS
Gobert has been bothered by a sore right groin over the last several days, and it caused him to miss Wednesday's game at Utah. He was able to play Friday night at Memphis (8pts, 10reb, 2blk in 29 minutes), but the Wolves will re-evaluate him Monday before making a final call on his status. Following Monday's contest, Minnesota is off Tuesday and Wednesday before finishing out its pre-All-Star-break schedule Thursday against Washington.
Feb 10, 2023
Good to go
Gobert (groin) is available and in the starting lineup for Friday's game in Memphis.
ANALYSIS
Gobert is coming off a one-game absence on the second night of a back-to-back set due to groin soreness. The team was seemingly erring on the side of caution with their star back man. Look for him to play his usual role at center assuming he avoids any setbacks.
Feb 9, 2023
Questionable at Memphis
Gobert (groin) is questionable for Friday's matchup against the Grizzlies.
ANALYSIS
Gobert sat out the second half of Minnesota's Tuesday-Wednesday back-to-back while dealing with persistent right groin soreness. The center will return to a new-look Timberwolves team that traded D'Angelo Russell for Mike Conley, who played with Gobert in Utah.
Feb 8, 2023
Ruled out Wednesday
Gobert (groin) will not play in Wednesday's game against the Jazz, Alan Horton of the Timberwolves Radio Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Gobert will sit out the closing leg of the back-to-back set Wednesday with groin soreness. Naz Reid can be expected to slide into the first unit, while Nathan Knight and Luka Garza should see some run off the bench. Gobert's next chance to play will come Friday in Memphis.
Feb 8, 2023
Questionable at Utah
Gobert (groin) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Jazz.
ANALYSIS
Gobert continues to deal with a sore groin and is a candidate to sit out on the second night of the back-to-back. However, he played just 19 minutes during Tuesday's blowout loss to the Nuggets, so he's fresher than usual in this situation.
Feb 7, 2023
Starting against Denver
Gobert (groin) is in the starting lineup Tuesday against Denver.
ANALYSIS
He's been carrying a lot of questionable tags lately but he's only missed one game since Jan 23. Unlike Minnesota's last meeting with Denver, Gobert will have his hands full with Nikola Jokic back from injury.
Feb 6, 2023
Questionable Tuesday
Gobert (groin) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Nuggets.
ANALYSIS
Gobert continues to deal with a sore right groin, but he's been able to suit up in the last two games after being listed as questionable. He's seen a slight decrease in playing time over his last two outings but has remained productive, averaging 15.5 points and 7.5 rebounds in 22.0 minutes per game over that stretch.
Feb 5, 2023
Available Sunday
Gobert (groin) is available for Sunday's game against the Nuggets.
ANALYSIS
Gobert was questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup but will be able to suit up despite his right groin soreness. Over his last six appearances, he's averaged 14.3 points and 12.7 rebounds in 33.8 minutes per game.
Feb 4, 2023
Questionable to play Sunday
Gobert has been downgraded to questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Nuggets due to right groin soreness.
ANALYSIS
The towering big man hasn't exactly set the world on fire in his first season with the Timberwolves, but losing him before a matchup against Nikola Jokic is less than ideal. If Gobert can't go Sunday, then Naz Reid would be in line for a bigger role. Gobert is averaging just 11.4 points and 10.7 rebounds per game across his last 10 outings.
Feb 3, 2023
Cleared to play
Gobert has been cleared to play against the Magic on Friday despite some right groin soreness.
ANALYSIS
Minnesota's starting center is back from a one-game absence. Gobert was logging heavy minutes in his previous five games, so it's possible the Timberwolves were just being cautious Wednesday against the Warriors. Naz Reid will shift back to the bench and will see his fantasy value take a significant hit.
Feb 2, 2023
Questionable vs. Magic
Gobert (groin) is questionable for Friday's matchup against the Magic, Dane Moore of 'The Dane Moore NBA Podcast' reports.
ANALYSIS
Gobert missed Wednesday's overtime win over the Warriors due to right groin soreness -- an injury he's been dealing with since mid-January. He's played well when available, averaging 14.2 points, 13.8 rebounds, 1.8 blocks and 1.4 assists across his past five appearances. If the center sits out again Friday, Naz Reid, Nathan Knight and Luka Garza remain candidates to see expanded roles.
Feb 1, 2023
Ruled out Wednesday
Gobert (groin) will not play in Wednesday's matchup with the Warriors.
ANALYSIS
Gobert has been dealing with lingering soreness in his right groin and will be held out of Wednesday's tilt after playing through the issue in each of the team's previous five contests. Naz Reid will step into the first unit and immediately become a top streaming option and daily fantasy play while Nathan Knight and Luka Garza figure to vie for the backup center run. Gobert's next opportunity to suit up will come Friday against the Magic.
Jan 31, 2023
Questionable versus Golden State
Gobert is questionable for Wednesday's game versus the Warriors due to right groin soreness.
ANALYSIS
Gobert has received questionable tags in each of his last five games due to his groin soreness before being upgraded to available. It seems likely that this will be the case Wednesday, as there have been no reports of his injury worsening. Gobert is averaging 14.2 points, 13.8 rebounds, 1.8 blocks and 1.4 assists in 35.4 minutes across his last five outings.
Jan 30, 2023
Efficient double-double in loss
Gobert ended Monday's 118-111 overtime loss to Sacramento with 19 points (7-9 FG, 5-10 FT), 14 rebounds, one assist and one steal in 40 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Gobert continues to play through a groin issue, registering his fourth double-double in the past five games. While he remains a regular fixture on the injury report, he has logged at least 32 minutes in every game since returning from his groin injury, an indication that the Timberwolves are simply playing it safe. His production does appear to be increasing, albeit at a snail's pace, giving managers hope that he will eventually get back to being a top-30 player.
Jan 30, 2023
Starting Monday
Gobert is starting Monday's contest against the Kings.
ANALYSIS
After being viewed as questionable, Gobert will officially make his fifth straight appearance for the Timberwolves. The 30-year-old center is averaging 12.3 points, 11.2 rebounds and 1.5 blocks over 29.6 minutes across his first 12 appearances in January.
Jan 29, 2023
Questionable against Kings
Gobert (groin) is questionable for Monday's game against Sacramento.
ANALYSIS
Gobert has been dealing with a sore right groin recently but has appeared in the last four games, averaging 13.0 points and 13.8 rebounds in 34.3 minutes per game. If he'd be unavailable Monday, Naz Reid would presumably see increased run for Minnesota.
Jan 28, 2023
Available Saturday
Gobert (groin) will play in Saturday's game against the Kings, Alan Horton of the Timberwolves Radio Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Gobert has dealt with lingering soreness in his right groin for the past two weeks but has managed to play in three straight contests. Over that span, he has averaged 13.0 points, 13.7 rebounds and 2.7 blocks across 33.8 minutes.
Jan 28, 2023
Tabbed as questionable Saturday
Gobert is considered questionable for Saturday's game versus the Kings due to right groin soreness.
ANALYSIS
Gobert has been labeled questionable ahead of recent contests as well and has played, so it seems likely he may do so again Saturday. However, there may be a bit more risk to him suiting up Saturday in the second game of a back-to-back set. If he were to rest, Naz Reid would presumably draw the start and see a sizable minutes increase.
Jan 27, 2023
Tallies 13 boards, three blocks
Gobert notched seven points (3-5 FG, 1-2 FT), 13 rebounds, one assist, three blocks and one steal over 31 minutes during Friday's 111-100 win over Memphis.
ANALYSIS
Gobert remained passive on the offensive end but made up for it with double-digit rebounds to go with another three blocks. Since returning from injury, he has now recorded a combined 41 rebounds and eight blocks over his past three games. While the offense is likely to fluctuate, managers will be hoping he can continue to serve up both boards and blocks on a regular basis, rectifying what has been a mediocre season thus far.
Jan 27, 2023
Will play Friday
Gobert (groin) is available and starting Friday's game against the Grizzlies.
ANALYSIS
Gobert will once again play through a sore right groin. He's totaled 32 points, 28 rebounds, five blocks and four assists in two games since returning from the injury. He's played 36 and 34 minutes, respectively, in those contests, so the defensive-minded center shouldn't face any limitations Friday.
Jan 26, 2023
Questionable Friday
Gobert (groin) is questionable for Friday's matchup against the Grizzlies.
ANALYSIS
Gobert continues to deal with a sore right groin, but he's appeared in two straight games and has totaled an impressed 32 points, 28 rebounds, five blocks, four assists and a steal. If he sits out, more minutes should be in store for Naz Reid, Luka Garza and Nathan Knight.
Jan 26, 2023
Turns in another double-double
Gobert recorded 17 points (7-12 FG, 3-5 FT), 12 rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal over 34 minutes during Wednesday's 111-102 victory over the Pelicans.
ANALYSIS
Gobert made the most of his chances on the offensive end by knocking down 58.3 percent of his attempts from the field. He also notched his second straight double-double and recorded another block, marking five blocks in two games since returning from a groin injury.
Jan 25, 2023
Will play Wednesday
Gobert (groin) is available for Wednesday's game against the Pelicans.
ANALYSIS
Gobert will suit up for a second straight contest following a three-game absence due to a groin injury. Last time out, the defensive-minded center posted 15 points, 16 rebounds and four blocks in 36 minutes, so he should shouldn't face any limitations Wednesday despite initially being listed as questionable.
Jan 24, 2023
Questionable at New Orleans
Gobert (groin) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Pelicans.
ANALYSIS
After a three-game absence, Gobert returned Monday against the Rockets to post 15 points, 16 boards, four blocks and one assist in 36 minutes. However, he's feeling sore and may need to take a game off. If that's the case, Naz Reid, Nathan Knight and Luka Garza should be in line for more run.
Jan 24, 2023
Impressive final line in return
Gobert supplied 15 points (5-8 FG, 5-7 FT), 16 rebounds, one assist and four blocks over 36 minutes during Monday's 119-114 loss to the Rockets.
ANALYSIS
Gobert didn't skip a beat after missing his squad's last three contests due to a groin injury. He dominated on the boards and also turned in an efficient shooting line in the loss. Gobert also swatted away four shots, which marks his best rim-protecting performance in January.
Jan 23, 2023
Back in action Monday
Gobert (groin) is starting Monday's contest against the Rockets
ANALYSIS
After missing Minnestoa's previous three outings, Gobert will make his return to the court Monday against the Rockets. Naz Reid will return to his typical bench role with the first-year Timberwolve back in the lineup. Prior to the contest where Gobert sustained his groin injury, the 7-foot-1 center had been averaging 12.9 points, 11.0 rebounds, 1.1 steals and 1.4 blocks across his first eight appearances of January.
Jan 22, 2023
Questionable Monday
Gobert (groin) is questionable for Monday's game against the Rockets.
ANALYSIS
Gobert has missed the last three matchups due to right groin soreness, but he'll be in the mix to return to the court Monday. If he's sidelined, Naz Reid will likely continue to start.
Jan 21, 2023
Out vs. Rockets
Gobert (groin) is out Saturday against the Rockets,
ANALYSIS
The center is sitting out for a third straight game due to a sore right groin. Naz Reid should start in Gobert's absence, while Luka Garza and Nathan Knight will likely see backup minutes.
Jan 21, 2023
Participates in shootaround
Gobert (groin) participated in morning shootaround and will be a game-time decision for Saturday's game against Houston, Alan Horton of the Timberwolves Radio Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Gobert has missed a pair of games with soreness in his right groin but appears to be making progress toward a return. His activity in shootaround is certainly an encouraging sign but fantasy managers will have to wait until Gobert goes through warmups before a decision is made on his status. Naz Reid has started in both contests without Gobert and would be in line to do so again if Gobert ends up sitting.
Jan 20, 2023
Listed as questionable
Gobert (groin) is questionable for Saturday's matchup against the Rockets.
ANALYSIS
Gobert has missed back-to-back games with right groin soreness and is questionable to miss a third straight. If the big man remains sidelined, Naz Reid figures to draw another start.
Jan 19, 2023
Out again Thursday
Gobert (groin) will not play in Thursday's game against the Raptors, Alan Horton of the Timberwolves Radio Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Gobert will miss a second consecutive tilt with soreness in his right groin. The issue held him to just 5 and 13 minutes in the two contests leading up to his absence so the injury has been an ongoing issue. Naz Reid got the start last time out and should remain the Timberwolves starting center for the duration of Gobert's leave. His next chance to suit up will come Saturday against Houston.
Jan 19, 2023
Questionable Thursday
Gobert (groin) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Raptors.
ANALYSIS
Gobert has been dealing with a sore right groin and sat out Wednesday against the Nuggets, but it's not yet clear whether he'll be available for the second half of the back-to-back set. If he's unavailable once again Naz Reid should continue to see increased run.
Jan 18, 2023
Won't play Wednesday
Gobert (groin) is out for Wednesday's game versus Denver.
ANALYSIS
Gobert has been downgraded from questionable to out Wednesday due to a right groin injury he suffered against the Jazz. Naz Reid will likely replace him in the starting lineup. Gobert's next chance to suit up is Thursday's matchup with Toronto.
Jan 17, 2023
Questionable against Denver
Gobert (groin) is questionable for Wednesday's game versus Denver.
ANALYSIS
Gobert is questionable Wednesday due to right groin soreness he suffered in Monday's contest against the Jazz. The three-time Defensive Player of the Year also exited the previous game with the same injury, so Minnesota may sit him in order to recover. Naz Reid is a likely candidate to enter the starting lineup in Gobert's potential absence.
Jan 16, 2023
Will not return Monday
Gobert is out for the remainder of Monday's game against the Jazz due to right groin soreness.
ANALYSIS
Gobert was listed as questionable leading up to the contest after suffering a groin injury in Saturday's tilt but attempted to play through the issue Monday. It was clear Gobert was not 100 percent prior to his exit as he logged just five minutes before exiting. Naz Reid and Luka Garza will be forced into larger roles for the rest of the game as the top center options for Minnesota. Gobert's next chance to play will come Wednesday against Denver.
Jan 16, 2023
Available Monday
Gobert (groin) is available Monday against the Jazz, Tony Jones of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Gobert sustained a groin injury Saturday against Cleveland and was questionable ahead of Monday's matchup, but he'll be able to play through the issue. Over his last eight appearances, he's averaged 12.9 points, 11.0 rebounds, 1.4 blocks and 1.1 steals in 30.1 minutes per game.
Jan 15, 2023
Questionable Monday
Gobert (groin) is questionable for Monday's game against the Jazz.
ANALYSIS
Gobert exited Saturday's win over Cleveland due to right groin soreness, and it's not yet clear whether he'll be forced to miss any games due to the issue. If he's unable to suit up Monday, Naz Reid should see additional work in the frontcourt.
Jan 14, 2023
Not returning Saturday
Gobert won't return to Saturday's game against the Cavaliers due to right groin soreness, Danny Cunningham of 850 ESPN Cleveland reports.
ANALYSIS
Gobert played 13 minutes in the first half, and Naz Reid started the second half, but now it's been revealed that the towering Frenchman is dealing with an injury, and it remains to be seen if he'll be available for Monday's contest against none other than the Jazz, his former team. Gobert finished Saturday's contest with six points (2-3 FG, 2-2 FT), four rebounds and a steal.
Jan 13, 2023
Productive despite scoring absence
Gobert finished with four points (1-1 FG, 2-4 FT), 12 rebounds, one assist, one block and four steals over 32 minutes during Friday's 121-116 win over Phoenix.
ANALYSIS
Gobert attempted just one shot in the victory, a worrying trend that has once again reared its ugly head. He managed to salvage his night with five defensive stats and a team-high 12 boards. However, it is on the offensive end that he has struggled to engage with his new teammates. It is unclear whether the coaching staff are simply not willing to consider him an option on offense or if his teammates are just not accustomed to having a true inside presence. Whatever the case, managers will be hoping that some changes are made after this, specifically around putting him in a position to score the basketball.
Jan 12, 2023
Double-double in Wednesday's loss
Gobert produced 16 points (6-8 FG, 4-6 FT), 14 rebounds and two steals over 32 minutes during Wednesday's 135-118 loss to the Pistons.
ANALYSIS
It's the fourth straight double-double -- his longest such streak as a member of the Timberwolves -- and 16th of the season for Gobert, as he begins to look a bit more comfortable with his new team. The veteran center is also benefitting from not having to make room for Karl-Anthony Towns (calf), and with Towns still apparently weeks away from his return, Gobert should continue his productive run.
Jan 9, 2023
Posts double-double in win
Gobert racked up 18 points (8-12 FG, 2-3 FT), 11 rebounds and one block over 38 minutes during Sunday's 104-96 victory over the Rockets.
ANALYSIS
Gobert recorded his third straight double-double and was efficient from the field in the win. He hasn't had the expected impact on the defensive side of the ball and has had a subpar season according to his standards, but he remains a must-roster player who has now posted three straight double-doubles to begin the year.
Jan 7, 2023
Dominant performance Friday
Gobert ended with 25 points (11-15 FG, 3-5 FT), 21 rebounds and two blocks in 36 minutes during Friday's 128-115 victory over the Clippers.
ANALYSIS
Gobert continues to trend in the right direction, recording just his second 20-20 game of the season. He matched his season-high of 25 points, blocking multiple shots for the fifth straight game. He is certainly looking more engaged on the offensive end, also allowing his defensive upside to shine through. Karl-Anthony Towns (calf) remains without a specific timetable for his return, meaning Gobert should continue to play as the dominant big man, at least for the foreseeable future.
Jan 5, 2023
Notches double-double in win
Gobert finished with 17 points (6-10 FG, 5-7 FT), 12 rebounds, one assist, three blocks and two steals in 35 minutes during Wednesday's 113-106 win over Portland.
ANALYSIS
Gobert is quietly averaging a double-double this season but up until Wednesday night, he hadn't recorded one in two weeks. The former Jazz center had been struggling to match some of his production he was known for in Utah, particularly in the blocks category, but in his past four games he's been turning it around, racking up a total of 11 blocks over that span.
Dec 31, 2022
Underutilized again Saturday
Gobert notched nine points (3-3 FG, 3-6 FT), 10 rebounds and two blocks in 28 minutes during Saturday's 116-104 loss to Detroit.
ANALYSIS
Gobert returned from a one-game absence but continued to be a non-factor, especially on the offensive end. From an outsider's perspective, all is not well in Minnesota right now. The team has simply not been able to incorporate Gobert, highlighted by the fact he has attempted fewer than eight shots in five of his past six games. The hope is that they get things figured out at some point, although time is certainly not on their side.
Dec 31, 2022
Good to go Saturday
Gobert (illness) will take the floor Saturday against Detroit.
ANALYSIS
Gobert will return from a one-game absence with a non-COVID illness and has slotted back into his starting center role. Upon his return, Naz Reid will shift back to the bench and have his workload reduced.
Dec 31, 2022
Questionable against Detroit
Gobert (illness) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Pistons.
ANALYSIS
Gobert was unable to suit up Friday against Milwaukee after being listed as questionable, but he'll be in the mix to return to action a day later. If he remains out, Naz Reid should see an increased role once again.
Dec 30, 2022
Out Friday
Gobert (illness) is out for Friday's game at Milwaukee.
ANALYSIS
With Gobert sidelined, Naz Reid should take over as the starting center and see a significant boost in workload and usage. Nathan Knight and Luka Garza could see backup minutes at the five.
Dec 30, 2022
Questionable Friday
Gobert is questionable to play in Friday's game versus the Bucks due to an illness.
ANALYSIS
Gobert's late addition to the injury report is a bad sign for his availability Friday. Naz Reid will likely enter the starting lineup if the three-time Defensive Player of the Year is ultimately ruled out.
Dec 27, 2022
Poor showing in loss
Gobert racked up 10 points (5-7 FG, 0-2 FT) and eight rebounds over 31 minutes during Monday's 113-110 loss to the Heat.
ANALYSIS
Gobert's production continues to vary on a night-to-night basis, but this was another disappointing performance from the big man, who did not record a single steal or block for the second straight game. Relative to last season, Gobert's numbers are down in virtually every key stat category -- most notably rebounds and blocks. He's down to just 12.1 boards per game (fewest since 2017-18) and a horrific 1.2 blocks (fewest since rookie season).
Dec 24, 2022
Slower night than usual Friday
Gobert chipped in eight points (3-4 FG, 2-4 FT), 12 rebounds and two assists across 36 minutes during Friday's 121-109 loss to the Celtics.
ANALYSIS
Gobert had tallied double digits in the scoring column in six straight games but didn't sport the same shooting volume as usual Friday, attempting just four shots on the night. He did collect 12 rebounds in the contest, so all was not lost from a fantasy standpoint, though he knocked down just half of his four free-throw attempts. Gobert is still a double-double threat on a nightly basis and is worth starting in the vast majority of fantasy formats at this point.
Dec 23, 2022
Good to go Friday
Gobert (ankle) will play in Friday's matchup with the Celtics, Dane Moore of BringMeTheNews.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Gobert has been upgraded from questionable to available for Friday's game. The defensive stalwart is averaging 18.4 points, 14.0 rebounds, 1.4 steals, 1.0 assists and 1.0 blocks in 34.8 minutes across his last five appearances.
Dec 22, 2022
Deemed questionable against Boston
Gobert is questionable to play in Friday's game versus the Celtics due to a left ankle sprain.
ANALYSIS
Gobert returned to action Wednesday after missing the previous three games with an ankle injury. If Gobert is unable to play against the Celtics, Naz Reid will likely be inserted into the starting lineup.
Dec 22, 2022
Shows no signs of rust
Gobert amassed 19 points (9-11 FG, 1-3 FT), 15 rebounds, two blocks and two steals across 38 minutes during Wednesday's 104-99 loss to Dallas.
ANALYSIS
Gobert missed Minnesota's last three contests while dealing with a left ankle sprain, but he didn't need much time to ease back into game action. He dominated on the glass and notched his fifth double-digit rebounding night in his last six games. It was also a good sign to see Gobert handle a full workload, and he actually tied his top mark of the season with 38 minutes.
Dec 21, 2022
Good to go against Dallas
Gobert is in the starting five for Wednesday's game versus the Mavericks.
ANALYSIS
Gobert has been upgraded from questionable to available Wednesday. The veteran big man will replace Naz Reid in the starting lineup after missing the last three games with a left ankle sprain.
Dec 21, 2022
Game-time call Wednesday
Gobert (ankle) is considered a game-time decision for Wednesday's tilt versus the Mavericks, Dane Moore of BringMeTheNews.com reports.
ANALYSIS
It seems Gobert may test things out in warmups before the team makes a final decision on his status. Look for Naz Reid to start at center again if the France native ultimately sits another night.
Dec 20, 2022
Could return Wednesday
Gobert (ankle) is questionable to play in Wednesday's matchup with Dallas.
ANALYSIS
Gobert has missed the previous three games with a left ankle sprain. Naz Reid will likely make a fourth straight start if the 30-year-old big man is unable to play. Gobert's next chance to play will be Friday's contest against the Celtics if he can't go Wednesday.
Dec 19, 2022
Ruled out
Gobert (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's matchup against the Mavericks, Dane Moore of BringMeTheNews.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Gobert was initially listed as questionable but will ultimately miss a third straight game due to a left ankle sprain. Naz Reid (shoulder) is listed as probable, but if he's available, he figures to draw a third straight start in Gobert's absence. The French big man's next chance to suit up will arrive Wednesday in a rematch against Dallas.
Dec 19, 2022
Officially questionable for Monday
Gobert (ankle) is questionable for Monday's matchup against Dallas.
ANALYSIS
Gobert has missed back-to-back games due to a left ankle sprain, but he'll have a chance to suit up Monday. Naz Reid, who's replaced Gobert in the starting lineup, is probable for the matchup after leaving Sunday's win over Chicago early due to left shoulder tightness.
Dec 18, 2022
Won't play Sunday
Gobert (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bulls, Joe Cowley of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
ANALYSIS
Gobert didn't play against the Thunder on Friday, and the towering Frenchman is now set to miss a second consecutive contest. This will likely result in Naz Reid, who posted 28 points across 37 minutes, getting another start. Gobert's next chance to play will come Monday against the Mavericks.
Dec 17, 2022
Listed as questionable
Gobert (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's matchup with the Bulls.
ANALYSIS
Gobert's status is up in the air Sunday after missing Friday's game due to a left ankle sprain. Naz Reid stepped into the starting five in his place and recorded 28 points in 37 minutes and would likely stay with the first unit if Gobert were to miss.
Dec 16, 2022
Out Friday
Gobert (ankle) will not play in Friday's game against the Thunder, Alan Horton of the Timberwolves Radio Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Gobert will miss Friday's game due to a left ankle sprain. With Karl Anthony-Towns (calf) also out, Naz Reid and Nathan Knight should handle most of the center minutes. Gobert's next change to suit up will be Sunday against Chicago, which is the first leg of a back-to-back set.
Dec 15, 2022
Questionable versus Thunder
Gobert is questionable to play in Friday's matchup with Oklahoma City due to a left ankle sprain.
ANALYSIS
Gobert is questionable to miss just his third game of the season Friday. Naz Reid will likely see extended minutes at center with Karl-Anthony Towns (calf) still out if the three-time Defensive Player of the Year is unavailable. Gobert is second in the NBA in rebounds per game at 12.2.
Dec 15, 2022
11/13 double-double in loss
Gobert provided 11 points (3-5 FG, 5-7 FT), 13 rebounds and two blocks across 32 minutes during Wednesday's 99-88 loss to the Clippers.
ANALYSIS
Gobert was the lone bright spot in a mediocre showing from the Timberwolves. Ball distribution was definitely a problem without D'Angelo Russell (knee) in the lineup, and Austin Rivers didn't do much in relief. Still, Gobert achieved his usual high rebound count in the paint.
Dec 13, 2022
Huge effort on glass
Gobert finished with 16 points (8-13 FG, 0-1 FT), 20 rebounds, two assists and one steal in 32 minutes during Monday's 133-112 loss to the Trail Blazers.
ANALYSIS
Though Gobert came up empty in the blocks category once again and is averaging nearly one fewer block per game in 2022-23 than a season ago (down to 1.2 from 2.1), his overall production is at least trending upward of late. Over his last four games, Gobert is averaging 19.5 points (on 66 percent shooting from the field) to go with 15.8 boards, 2.0 steals and 1.5 assists. Gobert should benefit from at least a few more touches on the offensive end for the foreseeable future while Karl-Anthony Towns (calf) remains weeks away from a return.
Dec 11, 2022
Perking up as scorer
Gobert racked up 24 points (9-11 FG, 6-9 FT), nine rebounds, two assists, one block and four steals over 36 minutes during Saturday's 124-118 loss to the Trail Blazers.
ANALYSIS
Gobert finished tied for second on the team with 24 points in the loss, just two behind Anthony Edwards' total. The big man scored 22 points against Utah in the first game of the back-to-back set Friday, and he's now exceeded the 20-point total in consecutive contests for the first time this season. The scoring surge has come while Karl-Anthony Towns remains out with a calf injury, so it's uncertain if Gobert will continue to look for the ball as much offensively when Towns eventually returns. A boost in the scoring department would be a welcome sign to fantasy managers who roster Gobert, as there's been some disappointment in his output this season -- both his 11.8 boards and 1.3 blocks per contest are well below the standards he has set over the past several campaigns.
Dec 10, 2022
Second straight double-double
Gobert produced 22 points (8-11 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 6-10 FT), 13 rebounds and one assist in 37 minutes during Friday's 118-108 win over the Jazz.
ANALYSIS
Gobert nearly had a double-double by halftime, recording 14 points on 4-of-5 shooting from the field to go along with eight boards over the first two quarters. After failing to score a point in the third quarter, he went 4-of-5 for eight points in the final period while also grabbing five second-half rebounds to notch his second straight double-double. The Wolves center is shooting 65.4 percent from the field in three games to start this month, averaging 14.7 points and 12/7 rebounds over that stretch.
Dec 7, 2022
Season-best performance in win
Gobert produced 16 points (6-12 FG, 4-5 FT), 21 rebounds, one assist, two blocks and three steals in 31 minutes during Wednesday's 121-115 victory over the Pacers.
ANALYSIS
Gobert took things to another level Wednesday, serving up his best performance of the season. The departure of Karl-Anthony Towns (calf) has certainly presented Gobert with a fantastic opportunity. With less competition on the boards, his rebounding numbers should be able to return to more like what we are used to seeing. A few more shot opportunities, as well as space on the defensive end, could result in Gobert putting together a strong stretch, rewarding those managers who showed patience early in the season.
Dec 3, 2022
Ejected from Saturday's game
Gobert was assessed a flagrant 2 foul and got ejected from Saturday's game against the Thunder, Joe Mussatto of The Oklahoman reports.
ANALYSIS
Gobert was ejected after he tripped Kenrich Williams. Naz Reid will get most of the minutes as his replacement, while Luka Garza and Nate Knight are also expected to see minutes out there. Gobert ended Saturday's contest with six points (3-3 FG, 0-2 FT) and four rebounds across nine minutes.
Dec 1, 2022
Limited impact in win
Gobert notched nine points (4-5 FG, 1-2 FT), one rebound, one block and one steal in 26 minutes during Wednesday's 109-101 victory over the Grizzlies.
ANALYSIS
Although the Timberwolves were playing without Karl-Anthony Towns (calf) during Wednesday's win, Gobert was held to a season-low one rebound against the Grizzlies, who have allowed the fewest rebounds per game to opposing centers this year. Over his 11 appearances since returning to the court, Gobert has averaged 14.4 points and 10.1 rebounds in 30.9 minutes per game. With Towns facing a multi-week absence, Gobert should shoulder an even larger role in Minnesota's frontcourt and should be more productive when the team faces more favorable opponents than Memphis.
Nov 26, 2022
Stellar night on boards
Gobert posted 17 points (6-10 FG, 5-5 FT), 17 rebounds, one assist, two blocks and two steals across 34 minutes during Friday's 110-108 loss to the Hornets.
ANALYSIS
Gobert had an efficient night shooting the basketball, and he also led the game with 17 rebounds. He's registered a double-double in back-to-back contests and is averaging 13.7 points, 11.7 rebounds, 1.0 assist, 1.1 steals and 1.0 block over his last five matchups.
Nov 25, 2022
Active Friday
Gobert (ankle) will suit up for Friday's game against the Hornets, Alan Horton of the Timberwolves Radio Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Gobert suffered a left ankle sprain earlier in the week but the injury will not keep him out of Friday's contest. Through 16 appearances, Gobert has averaged 13.6 points, 12.6 rebounds and 1.4 blocks across 32.0 minutes per game.
Nov 25, 2022
Nabs questionable tag Friday
Gobert is questionable to play in Friday's game versus Charlotte due to a left ankle sprain.
ANALYSIS
If Gobert is unable to play, Naz Reid or Kyle Anderson (back) are likely candidates to join the starting lineup. Gobert's next opportunity to play will be Sunday's matchup with the Warriors if he can't go Friday.
Nov 22, 2022
Aberration occurs
Gobert notched four points (4-4 FT), nine rebounds, two blocks and one steal across 31 minutes during Monday's 105-101 win over the Heat. He did not log a field-goal attempt.
ANALYSIS
Gobert received just 11 passes all night (for comparison, Anthony Edwards led with 87 and Jaylen Nowell received 23 passes in his nine minutes of action). Monday marked the first time since 2014 that Gobert didn't attempt a shot. He hit two clutch free throws to help Utah win the game, but his usage will clearly be baffling at times.
Nov 20, 2022
Grabs 13 rebounds in win
Gobert notched eight points (4-7 FG), 13 rebounds, one assist and one steal in 28 minutes during Saturday's 112-109 victory over the 76ers.
ANALYSIS
Gobert established his presence on the glass early with eight first-half rebounds while scoring six of his eight points in the second quarter on 3-of-6 shooting from the field. He scored just two more points in the second half on his lone field goal attempt but also grabbed another five boards, four of which came in the fourth quarter to give him a game-high 13 on the night. The Minnesota center has failed to reach 10 points in five of 14 games to begin the season, though he has collected double-digit rebounds in six of his last nine.
Nov 10, 2022
Double-doubles in return
Gobert notched 25 points (8-11 FG, 9-11 FT), 11 rebounds and three blocks across 30 minutes in Wednesday's 129-117 loss against the Suns.
ANALYSIS
Gobert missed three straight games after entering the league's health and safety protocols, but he looked impressive in his return en route to posting his fourth double-double of the campaign. He's still adjusting to playing alongside Karl-Anthony Towns and his numbers have not been the same as the ones he had during his Utah days, but this was a clear step in the right direction, both in terms of efficiency and his final output.
Nov 9, 2022
Rejoins starting five
Gobert is back in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Suns.
ANALYSIS
As expected, Gobert will rejoin the starting unit for Wednesday's contest after clearing the NBA's health and safety protocols Tuesday. The big man is averaging 12.6 points, 13.9 rebounds and 1.6 blocks in 32.2 minutes per contest this season.
Nov 8, 2022
Not on injury report
Gobert (Covdi-19 protocols) isn't listed on the injury report ahead of Wednesday's game versus the Suns.
ANALYSIS
Gobert practiced Tuesday and was already expected to play, so this news further cements that outcome. The star big man will presumably retake his starting spot in the frontcourt alongside Karl-Anthony Towns on Wednesday, likely sending Kyle Anderson back to the bench.
Nov 8, 2022
Expected to play Wednesday
Gobert (COVID-19 protocols) is expected to play Wednesday against the Suns, Jon Krawczynski of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
After two missed games, Gobert returned to practice Tuesday, and there seems to be little concern regarding his conditioning. It's possible he still ends up on the injury report as probable, but coach Chris Finch indicated Gobert should be fine. He should re-join the starters, pushing Kyle Anderson back to the bench.
Nov 8, 2022
Practices Tuesday
Gobert (COVID-19 protocols) cleared protocols and practiced Tuesday, Alan Horton of the Timberwolves Radio Network reports.
ANALYSIS
After missing the past two games, there's a good chance Gobert will be available Wednesday. He may need to work on his conditioning, but information about that should emerge if it's an issue. Expect the Timberwolves to release an official status on his availability after practice Tuesday or sometime after shootaround Wednesday.
Nov 6, 2022
Won't play Monday
Gobert (COVID-19 protocols) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Knicks.
ANALYSIS
Gobert landed in health and safety protocols Saturday and will a second straight game after playing through what was described as a non-COVID illness Friday. In Gobert's absence, Naz Reid and Taurean Prince are candidates for increased roles, but Karl Anthony-Towns figures to take on added usage as well.
Nov 5, 2022
In health and safety protocols
Gobert won't play in Saturday's game against the Rockets and is listed in the league's health and safety protocols.
ANALYSIS
Gobert was listed as questionable for Friday's game, but he ultimately played through an illness. He's now been placed in health and safety protocols, preventing him from suiting up for at least a contest. His next chance to play arrives Monday versus the Knicks.
Nov 4, 2022
Good to go
Gobert (illness) will play in Friday's matchup with the Bucks, Dane Moore of BringMeTheNews.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Gobert's status was up in the air due to an illness, but he will ultimately play through the issue. Barring any setbacks, look for him to take on his usual role as the team's starting center.
Nov 3, 2022
Questionable Friday
Gobert is questionable for Friday's game against the Bucks due to an illness.
ANALYSIS
Anthony Edwards (illness) is also questionable. With the Wolves potentially down two starters, more minutes could be in store for Naz Reid, Jaylen Nowell, Kyle Anderson and others.
Oct 29, 2022
Dominates inside with 21 rebounds
Gobert recorded 22 points (7-11 FG, 8-12 FT), 21 rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal over 37 minutes during Friday's 111-102 win over the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
With Anthony Davis (back) out of the lineup, Gobert had a field day against Damian Jones, who had no answer for Gobert and Karl-Anthony Towns in the frontcourt. While the Timberwolves entered the season with some debate as to how the Towns-Gobert tandem would work, things seem to be going swimmingly. Towns' floor-stretching shotmaking is as good as ever, and Gobert is thriving inside defensively, doing what he does best.
Oct 23, 2022
Notches second double-double
Gobert accumulated 15 points (7-9 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-3 FT), 15 rebounds, one assist and one block over 25 minutes during Sunday's 116-106 win over the Thunder.
ANALYSIS
Gobert turned in yet another massive performance on the glass in this one, recording his second double-double in three games so far this season. Though the sample size is small, the big man is averaging an eye-popping 18 boards through three contests and is a solid 21-for-34 from the field to kick off the year. Gobert should also continue to serve as one of fantasy managers' top options for blocks in 2022-23.
Oct 22, 2022
Grabs 23 boards against former team
Gobert chipped in nine points (4-10 FG, 1-3 FT), 23 rebounds, two blocks and one steal in 38 minutes during Friday's 132-126 overtime loss to the Jazz.
ANALYSIS
Playing against the team with whom he spent the first nine years of his NBA career, Gobert did his usual heavy lifting on the boards, grabbing a game-high 23 rebounds. However, he uncharacteristically made less than half his field-goal attempts, and he missed two big free-throws near the end of overtime that could have tied the score. Gobert has never been a good free-throw shooter, but fantasy managers who drafted him did so for his blocks and boards, and the big man has been business-as-usual in those areas in his first two games with Minnesota.
Oct 20, 2022
Big game in Wolves debut
Gobert ended Wednesday's 115-108 victory over the Thunder with 23 points (10-15 FG, 3-5 FT), 16 rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal in 34 minutes.
ANALYSIS
While the Timberwolves allowed the Thunder to climb back into the game in the second half, Gobert helped slam the door shut in his debut with his new team. The big man saw a full workload and finished as the Wolves' leading scorer, while Karl-Anthony Towns finished with just 12 points on the night. While he only notched one block, it was overall an encouraging start to Gobert's tenure in Minnesota.
Oct 15, 2022
Goes 6-for-6 in preseason loss
Gobert finished Friday's loss to the Nets with 16 points (6-6 FG, 4-10 FT), eight rebounds, two assists and four steals over 30 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Gobert was perfect from the field in the defeat but went just 4-for-10 from the charity stripe. He didn't register any blocks but still made an impact on the defensive end with four steals. Efficiency is a big part of Gobert's offensive game -- he's a career 65.3 percent shooter -- which helps make up for the fact that he's not a big-time scorer and isn't a good free-throw shooter. Despite the holes in his game, he's a valuable fantasy asset due to his elite rebounding and shot-blocking prowess.
Oct 14, 2022
Making first start with KAT
Gobert (rest) will make his first start alongside Karl-Anthony Towns during Friday's preseason finale against the Nets, Alan Horton of the Timberwolves Radio Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Friday will mark Gobert's second and final exhibition appearance. He posted five points, 12 boards, three assists and two steals across 17 minutes in his team debut. Friday will be the first time he and Karl-Anthony Towns will be on the court together, officially signaling the beginning of the Wolves' new era.
Oct 11, 2022
Won't play Wednesday
Gobert (rest) won't play in Wednesday's exhibition against the Lakers, Jon Krawczynski of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Gobert will be sidelined for yet another exhibition as the Timberwolves continue to manage the big man's workload following his participation in EuroBasket during the offseason. Head coach Chris Finch said Tuesday that the plan is for Gobert to make his Minnesota debut against the Nets on Friday, so fantasy managers shouldn't have any concern about his availability for the regular season.
Oct 9, 2022
Won't play Sunday
Gobert has been ruled out for Sunday's preseason game against the Trail Blazers for rest purposes, Alan Horton of the Timberwolves Radio Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Gobert isn't dealing with an injury, but the Timberwolves will simply elect to manage his workload after he played in EuroBasket during the offseason. Naz Reid, Nathan Knight and Luka Garza are candidates to see increased run against Portland.
Oct 6, 2022
Set to make debut Thursday
Gobert (rest) is set to play in Minnesota's preseason contest Thursday against the Lakers, Alan Horton of the Timberwolves Radio Network reports.
ANALYSIS
After missing the Timberwolves' preseason opener on Tuesday for rest purposes, Gobert will finally make his debut with Minnesota. The center figures to see a key role alongside Karl-Anthony Towns in the frontcourt once the season begins.
Oct 3, 2022
Will rest Tuesday
Timberwolves head coach Chris Finch said Gobert (rest) will not play in Tuesday's preseason opener against the Heat, Dane Moore of BringMeTheNews.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Per Moore, Gobert will get the night off to rest after playing heavy minutes during Eurobasket in September and jumping right into training-camp practices. Gobert's absence shouldn't be alarming as many key players rest to start preseason, so fantasy managers should still feel confident Gobert will be available heading into the regular season.
Oct 3, 2022

ANALYSIS
Per Moore, Gobert will get the night off to rest after playing heavy minutes during Eurobasket in September and jumping right into training camp. Gobert's absence shouldn't be alarming, as many key players rest to start preseason, so fantasy managers should still feel confident Gobert will be available heading into the regular season.
Jul 1, 2022
Headed to Minnesota
Gobert was traded from the Jazz to the Timberwolves on Friday for Malik Beasley, Patrick Beverley, Walker Kessler, Jarred Vanderbilt and four first-round picks, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
After a competitive first-round playoff series against the Grizzlies last season, the Timberwolves have decided to push in more chips. The move signals an interesting shift for Karl-Anthony Towns, who will now slot in as the starting power forward and be tasked with less rim protection. Gobert should continue playing the same sort of role in Minnesota that he was in Utah -- defending the rim and finishing easy looks around the basket. Gobert is coming off his third straight All-Star appearance, where he averaged 15.6 points on 71.3 percent shooting, 14.7 rebounds, 2.1 blocks and 1.1 assists in 32.1 minutes.
Apr 29, 2022
Posts double-double in Game 6 loss
Gobert ended with 10 points (3-6 FG, 4-4 FT) and 12 rebounds in 36 minutes during Thursday's 98-96 loss to Dallas.
ANALYSIS
Gobert's day began in unfortunate fashion when a bee sting led to some facial swelling, though the incident didn't appear to affect his play on the court. The All-Star center did his usual heavy lifting on the boards, leading all players with 12 rebounds, but he was quiet offensively and didn't produce any defensive stats for the second time in the series. Gobert again proved to be one of the league's elite big men during the campaign, though his playoff numbers largely fell below those he posted during the regular season.
Apr 26, 2022
Posts double-double in ugly loss
Gobert logged 17 points (6-7 FG, 5-7 FT), 11 rebounds and one steal over 27 minutes during Monday's 102-77 loss to Dallas.
ANALYSIS
Utah shot only 37.7 percent as a team in the contest, making Gobert's 6-for-7 line stand out even more than it usually would. The big man also grabbed a team-high 11 boards, though he failed to swat any shots for the second straight game. Gobert began the series scoring just 13 combined points over the first two games, but he has averaged 16.3 points in the subsequent three contests.
Apr 23, 2022
Big double-double in win Saturday
Gobert amassed 17 points (4-8 FG, 9-18 FT), 15 rebounds and one assist in 32 minutes during Saturday's 100-99 victory over the Mavericks.
ANALYSIS
He slammed home the winning basket on an alley-oop with 11 seconds left in the fourth quarter, capping his first double-double of the series. Gobert has struggled a bit so far in the first round, averaging 11.3 points, 14.0 boards and 1.5 blocks through four games, but Saturday's performance could be a sign he's breaking out heading into Game 5 on Monday.
Apr 19, 2022
Grabs 17 rebounds in loss
Gobert recorded eight points (2-5 FG, 4-6 FT), 17 rebounds, two assists and two blocks in 37 minutes during Monday's 110-104 loss to the Mavericks.
ANALYSIS
Gobert was effective in neutralizing Dwight Powell, but Dallas found another way to beat the Jazz. The Mavericks sunk 22 three-pointers and essentially abandoned the battle in the paint, and although the scheme benefited Gobert's rebounding numbers, it exposed a big hole in Utah's perimeter defense. Win or lose, Gobert will almost always deliver a strong rebounding performance, and Dallas seems especially vulnerable in the category.
Apr 16, 2022
Grabs 17 boards in win
Gobert posted five points (0-1 FG, 5-6 FT), 17 rebounds and three blocks across 35 minutes during Saturday's 99-93 win over the Mavericks.
ANALYSIS
Gobert only managed to take one shot attempt in the game, as the Mavericks made sure to clog the paint to prevent him from getting passes for easy dunks. However, he was still dominant on the glass and was strong as a rim protector.
Apr 7, 2022
Perfect from field Wednesday
Gobert closed Wednesday's 137-101 victory over Oklahoma City with 20 points (9-9 FG, 2-4 FT), 10 rebounds, one assist, two blocks and one steal over 26 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Gobert took only nine shots in the blowout win, and he converted all of them en route to third game of 20-plus points over his past four contests. The All-Star center also racked up 10 boards to notch his seventh straight double-double. Gobert ranks second in the league in that category on the campaign with 51 double-doubles in 64 contests.
Apr 6, 2022
Huge night in OT win
Gobert provided 22 points (5-8 FG, 12-18 FT), 21 rebounds, one block and one steal across 34 minutes during Tuesday's 121-115 overtime victory over the Grizzlies.
ANALYSIS
Coming off of a disappointing loss to the Warriors on Saturday, Gobert and the Jazz bounced back in a big way, fighting back from a second-half deficit to prevail in overtime over one of the hottest teams in the league. Gobert has been a rebounding machine of late, racking up 18.6 boards -- to go with 16.2 points -- per game over his last five contests (36.6 MPG).
Apr 3, 2022
Grabs 20 boards Saturday
Gobert amassed 14 points (5-9 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 4-7 FT), 20 rebounds, one assist and two steals across 38 minutes during Saturday's 111-107 loss to the Warriors.
ANALYSIS
Gobert put up 14 points in the loss, but his most standout performance came on the glass. The All-Star center grabbed 20-plus rebounds for the eighth time this season and for the first time in over two weeks. Gobert has registered double-digit boards in each of his past five games and is averaging 14.6 points, 16.6 rebounds, 1.2 steals and 1.2 blocks over that stretch.
Apr 1, 2022
Posts big double-double vs. Lakers
Gobert contributed 25 points (9-11 FG, 7-9 FT), 17 rebounds, two blocks and one steal in 36 minutes during Thursday's 122-109 victory over the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
Gobert led all players in rebounds and finished second with 25 points en route to his 48th double-double of the campaign. That number ranks third in the NBA behind Nikola Jokic (62) and Jonas Valanciunas (49). Gobert finished March with per-game averages of 14.5 points, 14.0 boards and 1.8 blocks over 15 games.
Mar 30, 2022
Returns with 16 rebounds
Gobert closed with nine points (4-7 FG, 1-6 FT), 16 rebounds, one assist, three blocks and two steals in 38 minutes during Tuesday's 121-115 loss to the Clippers.
ANALYSIS
Gobert ended up playing after a one-game absence. He had a horrible night from the free-throw line and didn't produce much as a scorer, but the elite defender didn't disappoint in the rebounding department, leading all players with 16 boards. The Jazz get a night off Wednesday, which should give Gobert sufficient time to rest his leg and cement his availability for Thursday's matchup against the Lakers.
Mar 29, 2022
Available Tuesday
Gobert (leg) is available for Tuesday's game against the Clippers, Tony Jones of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Gobert will return to the lineup following a one-game absence. This month, he's averaged 14.2 points, 13.6 rebounds and 1.7 blocks in 31.4 minutes.
Mar 28, 2022
Game-time call Tuesday
Gobert (leg) is questionable for Monday's game against the Clippers, Eric Walden of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
ANALYSIS
Gobert was held out of Monday's game against the Mavs due to a bruised right leg, but he'll have a chance to return to action Tuesday night. He'll likely need to prove his health during morning shootaround and pregame warmups to receive clearance from the team's medical staff.
Mar 27, 2022
Scratched from Sunday's game
Gobert has been ruled out of Sunday's game against the Mavericks due to a bruised right leg, Andy Larsen of the Salt Lake Tribune reports.
ANALYSIS
The Jazz did not list Gobert on any of their injury reports over the last 48 hours, so the nature of the injury is very much unclear. But with Hassan Whiteside (foot), Udoka Azubuike (ankle) and Greg Monroe (recently signed) all unavailable Sunday, Utah will be without all of its top options at center. As a result, Quin Snyder will be forced to get creative and likely turn to some combination of Juancho Hernangomez, Rudy Gay, Eric Paschall and Royce O'Neale for minutes at the five.
Mar 26, 2022
Grabs game-high 19 boards
Gobert logged 11 points (5-7 FG, 1-2 FT), 19 rebounds, one assist and one block over 37 minutes during Friday's 107-101 loss to the Hornets.
ANALYSIS
Gobert scored in double figures for an eighth straight game and registered his sixth double-double during that stretch. In March, the seven-footer has averaged 14.2 points, 13.6 rebounds and 1.7 blocks in 31.4 minutes per game. He'll look to maintain his strong play Sunday against the Mavericks.
Mar 24, 2022
Another double-double
Gobert finished with 14 points (4-6 FG, 6-6 FT), 11 rebounds, one assist and one steal across 30 minutes during Wednesday's 125-97 loss to Boston.
ANALYSIS
Gobert continues to shine as one of the best two-way big men in the league, and right now it's more surprising when he doesn't end up with a double-double -- something that had happened in each of his previous two appearances. The Frenchman has five double-doubles over his last seven games, though.
Mar 19, 2022
Leads Utah in rout of Clippers
Gobert logged 19 points (8-11 FG, 3-3 FT), 16 rebounds, two assists and two blocks in 27 minutes during Friday's 121-92 win over the Clippers.
ANALYSIS
Gobert led Utah starters with 19 points in a game the Jazz played without Donovan Mitchell (calf), and he was unsurprisingly the team's top rebounder. The All-Star big man added two blocks, marking the 35th time this season he has swatted multiple shots in a contest. Gobert has racked up four straight double-doubles and is tied for second in the league in that category with 45 on the season.
Mar 17, 2022
Grabs 20 boards with four blocks
Gobert notched 14 points (5-8 FG, 4-6 FT), 20 rebounds, two assists, four blocks and one steal in 33 minutes during Wednesday's 125-110 victory over the Bulls.
ANALYSIS
Gobert's scoring numbers were not eye-popping, but he certainly made an impact on the glass and on the defensive end, as he was the main reason why Nikola Vucevic had a down game. This was Gobert's seventh game with at least 20 rebounds this season, and it was also his 13th game with four or more blocks.
Mar 15, 2022
Posts double-double in return
Gobert racked up 18 points (6-8 FG, 6-8 FT), 14 rebounds and one steal in 32 minutes during Monday's 117-111 loss to the Bucks.
ANALYSIS
Gobert missed Utah's previous game with a foot injury, but he was able to log 32 minutes Monday. The All-Star center somewhat surprisingly didn't block any shots, but he was otherwise up to his usual production, grabbing double-digit boards for the 10th straight contest. Gobert leads the NBA with 14.7 rebounds per game on the season and is shooting a league-best 71.3 percent from the field while averaging 15.5 points and 2.2 blocks.
Mar 14, 2022
Cleared to play
Gobert (foot) is available for Monday's game against Milwaukee.
ANALYSIS
Gobert stated earlier in the day that he intended on playing, and he's now officially gained clearance after missing one game with a foot injury. The big man has been a force down low of late, tallying a double-double in six of his last seven games while averaging 2.0 blocks over that stretch.
Mar 14, 2022
Plans to play Monday
Gobert (foot) said after the team's morning shootaround that he's planning on playing in Monday's game against the Bucks, Eric Walden of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
ANALYSIS
Gobert is officially listed as questionable, but there continues to be optimism that he'll be available Monday after being a late scratch ahead of Saturday's win over the Kings. Over his last eight appearances, the big man has averaged 14.1 points, 14.4 rebounds and 2.1 blocks in 31.0 minutes per game.
Mar 13, 2022
Officially questionable for Monday
Gobert (foot) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Bucks.
ANALYSIS
As expected, the big man remains on the injury report, but there's optimism, per ESPN's Tim MacMahon, that Gobert will not miss any additional time beyond Saturday night's game against the Kings. Look for Gobert to test out the foot during shootaround before the Jazz issue an update.
Mar 13, 2022
Optimism surrounding foot injury
Per Tim MacMahon of ESPN.com, there's optimism that Gobert will not miss any more time due to the left foot strain that caused him to be a late scratch Saturday.
ANALYSIS
This would obviously be great news for Gobert's fantasy managers, but he's still not out of the woods yet. There likely won't be an official word from Utah until they released their initial injury report for Monday's matchup against the Bucks.
Mar 12, 2022
Ruled out Saturday
Gobert will miss Saturday's game against Sacramento with a left foot metatarsal Phalangeal joint sprain, Eric Walden of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
ANALYSIS
This is the first we've heard of Gobert suffering a foot injury, and it's unclear at this time how long it will keep the big man sidelined. It would obviously be a big blow to Gobert's fantasy managers if he's forced to miss additional time with the fantasy playoffs fast approaching. The All-Star center leads the league with 14.7 rebounds and ranks second with 2.2 blocks per game on the season.
Mar 12, 2022
Turns aside five shots in loss
Gobert finished with 13 points (2-3 FG, 9-10 FT), 16 rebounds, five blocks and one assist in 32 minutes Friday in the Jazz's 104-102 loss to the Spurs.
ANALYSIS
The five rejections were Gobert's most since Dec. 18 and one off a new season high. While fantasy managers have to expect sterling blocks production from Gobert, the stellar free-throw shooting Friday was a more pleasant surprise. Gobert is converting at a substandard 68.9 percent rate for the season, but that still represents an improvement of more than six percentage points from his 2020-21 mark.
Mar 8, 2022
Double-doubles with three blocks
Gobert accumulated 12 points (3-5 FG, 6-6 FT), 13 rebounds and three blocks over 34 minutes during Monday's 111-103 loss to the Mavericks.
ANALYSIS
Gobert played through a calf injury, finishing with yet another double-double. Given his body of work this season, managers should see this as his fantasy floor moving forward. While he was able to get on the floor Monday, his calf issue is something to monitor over the coming weeks after he missed nine games as a result of the same injury earlier in the season.
Mar 7, 2022
Gets green light
Gobert (calf) is available to play Monday against Dallas.
ANALYSIS
Gobert has been dealing with left calf soreness, but it won't force him to miss Monday's matchup. He's averaging 15.8 points, 15.2 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 1.8 blocks over his last five games.
Mar 7, 2022
Dealing with calf soreness
Gobert is questionable for Monday's contest against the Mavericks due to left calf soreness, Sarah Todd of The Deseret News reports.
ANALYSIS
Gobert finished Sunday's win over the Thunder with 12 points (5-8 FG, 2-3 FT), 17 rebounds, one assist and one block in 34 minutes, but he apparently aggravated his calf injury as well. A left calf strain caused Gobert to miss nine consecutive games in February, so the Jazz will likely be extremely cautious with their big man moving forward.
Mar 7, 2022
Snags 17 rebounds in win
Gobert closed with 12 points (5-8 FG, 2-3 FT), 17 rebounds, one assist and one block in 34 minutes during Sunday's 116-103 win over the Thunder.
ANALYSIS
Gobert put up his fifth-consecutive double-double in the victory. The Thunder were helpless to stop Utah's multi-faceted attack, as Gobert kept things in check inside while Bojan Bogdanovic made it rain from downtown with 11 three-pointers.
Mar 3, 2022
Smashes Rockets in win
Gobert notched 27 points (12-14 FG, 3-4 FT), 17 rebounds, two blocks, one assist and one steal over 38 minutes during Wednesday's 132-127 overtime victory over the Rockets.
ANALYSIS
This may sound like a broken record, but Gobert registered a double-double with multiple blocks for the third game in a row. The towering Frenchman continues to be one of the best rim protectors in the league while making the most of his touches on the offensive end. He's scored at least 14 points in all but three contests since the beginning of the new year, averaging 16.8 points on 71.2 percent shooting from the field and 69.8 percent shooting from the charity stripe during that 12-game stretch.
Feb 26, 2022
Shows out defensively Friday
Gobert registered 14 points (6-6 FG, 2-4 FT), 17 rebounds, two assists and three blocks across 34 minutes during Friday's 114-109 win over the Mavericks.
ANALYSIS
Gobert put up yet another double-double in the win but it was his work on the defensive end that really stood out. He amassed three blocks but much of his value came in the areas not captured by regular statistics. His defense on Luka Doncic down the stretch was key to the victory, highlighting just how important he is to the team. Much like Donovan Mitchell, Gobert is a highly-reliable fantasy asset and should remain that way moving forward.
Feb 14, 2022
Gets tossed
Gobert was ejected from Monday's game against Golden State after being assessed two technical fouls, Eric Walden of The Salt Lake Tribune reports. He finishes with 14 points (7-8 FG), seven rebounds, two assists and one block in 22 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Gobert was tossed from the contest after the officials determined he took part in unnecessary contact after the whistle during a play in the fourth quarter. Prior to exiting, he put together an efficient evening and didn't show any signs of rust after a lengthy absence due to injury. Hassan Whiteside and Udoka Azubuike will be asked to hold down the center position the rest of the way in this one.
Feb 14, 2022
Cleared to play
Gobert (calf) will play Monday against Houston.
ANALYSIS
Gobert had been trending in the right direction after taking part in morning shootaround, and the team has since listed him as available for Monday's action. Utah has neglected to reveal whether the big man will be on a minutes limit following a nine-game absence, but it's likely that the coaching still will monitor his minutes closely at the very least.
Feb 14, 2022
Goes through shootaround Monday
Gobert (calf) participated in Monday's team shootaround and remains questionable against Houston, Sarah Todd of The Deseret News reports.
ANALYSIS
Gobert has missed the last nine games due to a left calf strain, but the fact that he's been able to get in two consecutive practices bodes well for his availability ahead of Monday's matchup with the Rockets. It's unclear at this time if Gobert would face a minutes restriction if he's ultimately able to go, but Udoka Azubuike and Hassan Whiteside could see slightly increased workloads if he's limited in any way. Gobert is averaging 16.0 points, 15.1 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 2.3 blocks across 32.5 minutes per game this season.
Feb 13, 2022
Listed as questionable
Gobert (calf) is questionable for Monday's game against Houston, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
ANALYSIS
Gobert participated in Sunday's practice session and will have a chance to return to the field after missing the last nine games due to a left calf strain. Even if he's available, he'll likely face a minutes restriction following his lengthy absence.
Feb 13, 2022
Practices Sunday
Gobert (calf) participated in practice Sunday, Sarah Todd of The Deseret News reports.
ANALYSIS
Gobert has missed nine consecutive contests due to a left calf strain, but he's trending in the right direction for Monday's meeting with Houston after going through practice Sunday. If he's able to suit up, Udoka Azubuike's role will decrease significantly.
Feb 11, 2022
Ruled out Friday
Gobert (calf) is out Friday against the Magic, Eric Walden of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
ANALYSIS
Although Gobert will be forced to miss a ninth straight game due to a strained left calf, he appears to be getting closer to a return since he was labeled as a game-time call ahead of Friday's matchup. Udoka Azubuike will likely start once again, while Gobert's next chance to return will be Monday against the Rockets.
Feb 11, 2022
Expected to be game-time decision
Gobert (calf) will be a game-time decision ahead of Friday's matchup with the Magic, Sarah Todd of The Deseret News reports.
ANALYSIS
Gobert has missed eight consecutive games dealing with a left calf strain, but the center appears close to returning. He told reporters Friday morning that if he doesn't play against the Magic it's only a matter of days before he's back in action, so it appears he will definitely return before the All-Star break. If he remains sidelined Friday, expect Udoka Azubuike to start once again.
Feb 10, 2022
Upgraded to questionable
Gobert (calf) has been upgraded to questionable for Friday's contest against the Magic, Tony Jones of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Gobert has missed the Jazz's last eight consecutive games dealing with a left calf strain but the center appears close to returning after he practiced in a limited fashion over the weekend. Expect Udoka Azubuike to continue to start if Gobert is unable to play against the Magic.
Feb 8, 2022
Out Wednesday
Gobert (calf) is out Wednesday against the Warriors.
ANALYSIS
Gobert practiced in a limited fashion Sunday, but he was still ruled out well in advance of Monday's game and now Wednesday's game. Udoka Azubuike figures to start again.
Feb 6, 2022
Ruled out Monday
Gobert (calf) will not play in Monday's game against the Knicks.
ANALYSIS
The big man was able to go through a limited practice Sunday, so he's making progress, but the Jazz will hold him out of at least one more game as they begin a three-game week. Gobert should have a decent chance to return for Wednesday's game against the Warriors or Friday's game against Orlando. Udoka Azubuike and Hassan Whiteside will continue to hold down the fort at center until Gobert returns.
Feb 6, 2022
Practices in limited fashion
Gobert (calf) participated in portions of Sunday's practice, Eric Walden of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
ANALYSIS
Gobert has sat out the last six games with a strained left calf, but there's hope he may be able to retake the court for Utah this week. It remains to be seen if he'll have a chance of playing Monday versus the Knicks, but his return appears to be on the horizon regardless.
Feb 3, 2022
Out Friday, may return next week
Gobert (calf) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Nets.
ANALYSIS
Gobert will miss his sixth straight game Friday, but there's hope he's able to retake the court for Monday's matchup with the Knicks, according to Tim MacMahon of ESPN.com. Hassan Whiteside (back) should start at center for Utah versus the Nets, if he's available.
Feb 1, 2022
Out Wednesday
Gobert (calf) is out Wednesday against the Nuggets, Eric Walden of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
ANALYSIS
Gobert didn't practice Tuesday, so his absence Wednesday isn't surprising. Hassan Whiteside (back) is also questionable, so the Jazz could be extremely shorthanded in the frontcourt.
Feb 1, 2022
Not at practice Tuesday
Gobert (calf) didn't practice Tuesday, Tim MacMahon of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The Jazz have insisted that Gobert's calf strain is nothing serious, but he's trending towards a fifth straight absence. If he's unable to suit up Wednesday against the Nuggets, Hassan Whiteside will likely draw another start.
Jan 29, 2022
Ruled out Sunday
Gobert (calf) won't play Sunday against Minnesota.
ANALYSIS
The Jazz have insisted that Gobert's calf strain isn't particularly serious, but he'll be forced to sit out a fourth consecutive game. Hassan Whiteside should continue to serve as the starting center while Gobert remains sidelined.
Jan 27, 2022
Officially out Friday
Gobert (calf) will not play Friday against the Grizzlies.
ANALYSIS
While the Jazz maintain that Gobert's strained left calf is not overly serious, he'll miss at least one more game, and it would not be a surprise if he ends up sitting out Sunday's contest at Minnesota. So long as the All-Star big man is sidelined, Hassan Whiteside should continue to start at center. Whiteside posted a 16-point, 11-rebound double-double with two blocks and a steal in Wednesday night's 105-97 loss to the Suns.
Jan 27, 2022
Team taking cautious approach
The Jazz continue to view Gobert's left calf strain as a minor concern, and the center is expected to resume playing before the All-Star break, Sarah Todd of The Deseret News reports.
ANALYSIS
While the Jazz's continued positivity surrounding Gobert's health outlook is promising, but since the All-Star break is still three weeks away, Todd's report hints that the veteran center will likely miss additional games. Gobert has already sat out Utah's last two contests with the injury, and though the team is seemingly content to evaluate him on a game-by-game basis, he should be viewed as doubtful to play in the Jazz's next matchup Friday in Memphis. Hassan Whiteside posted a double-double in Wednesday's loss to the Suns while picking up his second start at center in a row, and he should be a worthy option in 12-team leagues until Gobert is cleared to play again.
Jan 25, 2022
Will remain out Wednesday
Gobert (calf) will remain out for Wednesday's game against the Suns.
ANALYSIS
Gobert's strained left calf will cause him to miss at least one more game after he sat out Monday's loss to the Suns. Expect Hassan Whiteside to make another start in his place. The Jazz will also be without their other star, Donovan Mitchell, who remains in concussion protocols.
Jan 24, 2022
Ruled out Monday
Gobert (calf) has been ruled out for Monday's game against Phoenix, Tim MacMahon of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Gobert sustained a left calf strain late in Sunday's loss to the Warriors and will be forced to miss at least one game. However, his injury isn't considered particularly serious, and he isn't expected to miss extended time. Hassan Whiteside (conditioning), Udoka Azubuike and Eric Paschall are candidates for additional run Monday.
Jan 23, 2022
Suffers left calf strain
Gobert suffered a left calf strain during Sunday's 94-92 loss to the Warriors, Tony Jones of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Gobert was limping during the final few minutes of Sunday's matchup but was able to remain in the game. He was dominant against the Warriors with 12 points (5-10 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 18 rebounds, three assists and a steal in 36 minutes, but it's not yet clear whether he'll be available Monday against the Suns.
Jan 23, 2022
Good to go Sunday
Gobert (ankle) will be available for Sunday's game against Golden State, Tony Jones of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
A minor ankle issue landed Gobert on the injury report coming into the day, but he'll play through it and start at his usual center spot. The big man is coming off of a 24-point, 14-rebound, four-block performance against Detroit on Friday.
Jan 22, 2022
Questionable vs. Warriors
Gobert (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Warriors.
ANALYSIS
Gobert played through the issue Friday against the Pistons to total 24 points, 14 rebounds, four blocks and one assist in 32 minutes. Hassan Whiteside (conditioning) is also questionable Sunday, so the Jazz could be quite shorthanded in the frontcourt.
Jan 21, 2022
Available Friday
Gobert (ankle) is available Friday against the Pistons.
ANALYSIS
Gobert was questionable for Friday's matchup due to left ankle soreness, but he'll be able to play through the issue. Across his last three appearances, he's averaged 20.0 points and 14.7 rebounds in 36.3 minutes per contest.
Jan 21, 2022
Dealing with ankle soreness
Gobert is questionable for Friday's game against the Pistons with left ankle soreness, Eric Walden of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
ANALYSIS
Gobert was initially absent from Friday's injury report, but his availability is now in question due to the ankle issue. Udoka Azubuike, Eric Paschall and Rudy Gay should see run if Gobert is unable to play, since Hasson Whiteside (COVID-19 protocols) has already been ruled out.
Jan 20, 2022
Flirts with double-double in loss
Gobert had 23 points (9-13 FG, 5-7 FT), nine rebounds, four assists, two blocks and two steals across 37 minutes during Wednesday's 116-111 loss to the Rockets.
ANALYSIS
Gobert's nine boards snapped a 19-game streak of double-digit rebounds, but his 23 points matched a season-high for the elite big man. He last scored 23 points in a massive 23/21 double-double against the Hornets, just one example of Gobert's enormous upside in the right matchup.
Jan 18, 2022
Posts another hefty stat line
Gobert finished Monday's 101-95 loss to Los Angeles with 19 points (6-8 FG, 7-8 FT), 16 rebounds, three blocks and one steal across 37 minutes.
ANALYSIS
"Gobert" and "double-double" are practically synonymous at this point -- the big man has accomplished the feat in 16 straight contests and in all but six of his games on the campaign. The three-time DPOY is just as consistent as a shot-blocker, racking up multiple swats in three straight contests and in 13 of his past 15 games. There simply isn't a more reliable option than Gobert when it comes to traditional big-man stats.
Jan 16, 2022
Cruises to double-double in win
Gobert contributed 18 points (7-7 FG, 4-7 FT), 19 rebounds, two assists and two blocks over 35 minutes during Sunday's 125-102 victory over the Nuggets.
ANALYSIS
Gobert hit the ground running, notching up another double-double in his return Sunday. The Jazz have really needed his defensive presence and it showed why in this game. He is once again a front runner to be named the Defensive Player of the Year and as long as the Jazz are pushing hard for a playoff seed, he will be at the forefront of their efforts.
Jan 15, 2022
Cleared to play Sunday
Gobert (conditioning) is officially available Sunday against the Nuggets, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
ANALYSIS
As expected, Gobert has been cleared following a five-game absence due to a shoulder injury and protocols. Over his past 10 appearances, he's averaged 16.2 points, 16.1 rebounds, 2.6 blocks and 1.2 assists in 33.9 minutes.
Jan 14, 2022
Expects to play Sunday
Gobert (shoulder/conditioning) said Friday he expects to play in Sunday's contest against the Nuggets, Eric Walden of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
ANALYSIS
Gobert missed Utah's Jan. 5 contest due to a shoulder injury and then landed in COVID protocols, so he hasn't appeared in a game since Jan. 3. However, he cleared the NBA's health and safety protocols Friday, and his shoulder appears to be fine, so he will likely be back in the starting lineup Sunday. The Jazz have lost four of their last five games without Gobert, so his presence should be a major boost.
Jan 14, 2022
Clears COVID-19 protocols
Gobert (shoulder) cleared the NBA's health and safety protocols Friday, Tim MacMahon of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Gobert was dealing with a shoulder injury before his placement in COVID-19 protocols, and it remains unclear how that has progressed during his time away from the team. The Jazz don't play again until Sunday, so he will have a couple days to ramp up his conditioning before determining whether or not he can play. Utah has lost four out of their last five contests without Gobert, so they will likely want him back on the floor sooner rather than later.
Jan 6, 2022
Enters health and safety protocols
Gobert (shoulder) entered the league's health and safety protocols Thursday, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
ANALYSIS
Gobert has been dominant recently with double-doubles in each of his last 14 appearances. He was forced to miss Wednesday's game against the Nuggets due to a shoulder injury and will now miss more time due to the league's COVID-19 protocols. It's not yet clear whether Gobert has tested positive for the virus, but Hassan Whiteside (concussion), Udoka Azubuike and Eric Paschall should see increased run in his absence.
Jan 5, 2022
Out Wednesday
Gobert (shoulder) won't play in Wednesday's game against the Nuggets.
ANALYSIS
Gobert came down with a non-COVID related illness on Wednesday that caused him to miss Utah's shootaround, and coupled with the left shoulder inflammation he's been dealing with, he'll be forced to miss Wednesday's matchup with Denver. With Hassan Whiteside (concussion) also sidelined, Eric Paschall and Rudy Gay should see increased run in the Jazz' frontcourt.
Jan 5, 2022
Dealing with non-COVID illness
Gobert (shoulder) didn't participate in Wednesday's shootaround due to a non-COVID illness, Sarah Todd of The Deseret News reports.
ANALYSIS
Gobert was listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Nuggets due to left shoulder inflammation, and he's also dealing with an illness ahead of the matchup. If he's unable to play, Hassan Whiteside (concussion), Eric Paschall and Rudy Gay could see increased work.
Jan 4, 2022
Questionable Wednesday
Gobert is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Nuggets due to left should inflammation.
ANALYSIS
Gobert has appeared in every game this season and is on a streak of 14 straight double-doubles. Hassan Whiteside (concussion protocols) is also questionable, so the Jazz could end up very shorthanded at center.
Jan 2, 2022
Posts another big performance
Gobert amassed 20 points (9-10 FG, 2-4 FT), 19 rebounds and two assists in 35 minutes during Saturday's 123-116 loss to Golden State.
ANALYSIS
Gobert was one of four Jazz players to score exactly 20 points, and he was by far the most efficient of the group, missing only one of his 10 field-goal tries. The big man added 19 boards for his 13th straight double-double. His streak of games with at least one block did end at 22 contests, but that's not a major letdown considering that the Warriors have their shots blocked at a lower rate than any other team in the league. Gobert should bounce back in the swat department while continuing to offer valuable contributions as a rebounder and an efficient scorer in what has been a standout season so far.
Dec 30, 2021
Dominates down low Wednesday
Gobert finished with 22 points (8-10 FG, 6-12 FT), 14 rebounds and two blocks in 29 minutes during Wednesday's 120-105 victory over the Trail Blazers.
ANALYSIS
The Jazz didn't have Donovan Mitchell (back) for the contest, and it was Gobert who stepped up offensively to lead the team in scoring against Portland. The big man made only half of his 12 free-throw tries, but he was an efficient 8-for-10 from the field. Gobert also posted his usual gaudy rebound total, bringing down 14 boards to pace both squads. For good measure, he chipped in two blocks, marking the seventh time in his past eight games that he has contributed multiple swats. Gobert is enjoying arguably his finest season to date, with his consistent output amounting to top-20 production in nine-category fantasy leagues.
Dec 24, 2021
Turns in another big stat line
Gobert accumulated 20 points (8-14 FG, 4-9 FT), 17 rebounds, two assists, four blocks and one steal in 35 minutes during Thursday's 128-116 victory over the Timberwolves.
ANALYSIS
In a game that otherwise lacked defense, Gobert was a force down low with four blocked shots. He also dominated on the boards and posted his second straight effort of 20-plus points. Gobert has now double-doubled in eight straight contests, and he has swatted at least one shot in 18 consecutive games. His name isn't buzzing as an MVP candidate, but perhaps it should be -- the big man is posting per-game averages of 15.5 points (on 71.4 percent shooting), 15.1 boards and 2.3 blocks on the campaign for a Jazz team that sits in third place in the Western Conference with a 22-9 record.
Dec 21, 2021
Massive double-double in win
Gobert produced 23 points (4-10 FG, 15-16 FT), 21 rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 36 minutes during Monday's 112-102 win over the Hornets.
ANALYSIS
Gobert had a field day under the basket against one of the worst rebounding teams in the league. His 21 boards contributed to a 68-51 rebounding advantage over the Hornets. The All-Star defender has now notched 21 boards three times this season.
Dec 19, 2021
Cleans up boards in loss
Gobert had 11 points (4-4 FG, 3-6 FT), 19 rebounds, one assist and six blocks over 38 minutes during Saturday's 109-103 loss to the Wizards.
ANALYSIS
Gobert's scoring output was his lowest in six games, but his work as a rebounder and shot-blocker more than made up for the moderate point total. The big man's six swats were a season high, and he finished just one board shy of notching his sixth performance with 20-plus boards on the campaign. Gobert continues to serve as the league leader in rebounds and ranks second in blocks on the season.
Dec 16, 2021
Dominates on boards, as usual
Gobert logged 20 points (8-10 FG, 4-7 FT), 17 rebounds, three assists and two blocks over 27 minutes during Wednesday's 124-103 victory over the Clippers.
ANALYSIS
Gobert's crashing of the boards is nothing new -- he has registered a double-digit rebound total in all but two of his 27 contests this season and leads the NBA with 14.7 boards per game. The big man has also blocked at least one shot in 14 straight contests and ranks third in the league with 2.1 swats per game. Finally, Gobert has been increasing his offensive role of late, taking double-digit shot attempts in three straight contests for the first time this season. His 73.8 percent field-goal rate leads the Association, and Gobert's current scoring average of 15.3 points per game is on pace for the second-highest mark of his career.

Records 20th double-double
Gobert had 20 points (8-9 FG, 2-2 FT), 11 rebounds and a block in Saturday's 123-98 win over the Wizards on Saturday night.
ANALYSIS
Gobert has now posted a double-double in consecutive games and four of his last five during the Jazz's six-game winning streak. Entering Saturday, Gobert was averaging 14.7 rebounds per game, which would be a career-high for him by more than a board per game. He has also been incredibly efficient with his shots, as he's currently shooting a career-best 73.4 percent from the floor. The 29-year-old is on pace for one of the best seasons of his career and is providing top-20 fantasy value in nine-category formats.
Dec 10, 2021
Monster double-double
Gobert posted 17 points (6-11 FG, 5-8 FT), 21 rebounds, one assist and two blocks across 29 minutes during Thursday's 118-96 victory over the 76ers.
ANALYSIS
Perhaps field by Patrick Beverley's comments standing the three-time DPOY, Gobert was dominant Thursday. His 21 rebounds (six offensive) matched a season high. Gobert logged a plus-minus of +17, and he has been the league's best defender in plus-minus and on/off metrics this season. Gobert will be a top DFS play and a boom candidate Saturday against the Wizards.
Dec 6, 2021
Grabs 20 rebounds in narrow win
Gobert finished with six points (3-6 FG), 20 rebounds, three assists, five blocks and one steal across 38 minutes during Sunday's 109-108 win over the Cavaliers.
ANALYSIS
Gobert has failed to collect at least 10 rebounds only twice this season, and he's eclipsed the 20-rebound mark four times. His scoring production was stifled a bit due to solid defense from Jarrett Allen and Evan Mobley, but Gobeett made the Cavs pay on defense with 15 defensive rebounds and five blocked shots.
Nov 30, 2021
Bounces back with 21 points
Gobert closed Monday's 129-107 win over Portland with 21 points (9-11 FG, 3-4 FT), 16 rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal over 32 minutes.
ANALYSIS
For most of the season, "Gobert" and "double-double" have been synonymous -- through his first 18 games, he had failed to accomplish the feat only twice. However, the big man entered Monday in a bit of a scoring slump, having totaled only 15 combined points on a meager seven field-goal tries over his previous two contests. Gobert was much more productive offensively against Portland, notching his fifth effort of 20-plus points on the campaign. In addition, he grabbed 16 boards and extended his streak of games with at least one blocked shot to eight.
Nov 23, 2021
Dominant effort in loss
Gobert chipped in 23 points (9-10 FG, 5-6 FT), 13 rebounds and five blocks over 33 minutes during Monday's 119-118 loss to the Grizzlies.
ANALYSIS
Double-doubles are nothing new for Gobert -- he has achieved the feat in all but three of his 17 games this season -- but Monday's performance stood out in that he tied a season high in scoring and racked up a campaign-best five blocked shots. The big man has now scored 20-plus points in consecutive contests for the first time this season, making a remarkable 17 of 22 field-goal attempts and 10 of 12 free-throw attempts over the two-game stretch. It's pretty much assumed that Gobert is going to contribute double-digit rebounds and at least one swat in nearly every contest, but if he is every able to score 20-plus points consistently and become a reliable free-throw shooter, his fantasy value would go through the roof.
Nov 19, 2021
Posts another double-double
Gobert racked up 14 points (7-7 FG), 11 rebounds, one assist and two blocks in 29 minutes during Thursday's 119-103 win over Toronto.
ANALYSIS
Gobert made all seven of his field-goal attempts and finished with his fourth straight double-double in the win. Over that four-game span, the big man is averaging 15.5 points, 13.0 boards and 1.8 blocks per contest. He'll never challenge for a scoring title, but Gobert is about as steady as they come in terms of being a near-lock for double-digit boards and a blocked shot or two on a nightly basis.
Nov 17, 2021
Extends double-double streak
Gobert mustered 15 points (6-10 FG, 3-7 FT), 17 rebounds, one assist and four blocks over 28 minutes during Tuesday's 120-85 win over the 76ers.
ANALYSIS
Fantasy managers shouldn't be surprised every time Gobert gets a double-double -- he's done it in three games in a row, four of the last five, and in 11 of his 14 contests this season. Having said that, the Frenchman is clearly settling himself as the top rebounder in the league by a sizable margin, as he's pulling down a career-high (and league-best) 15.4 boards per game this season.
Nov 13, 2021
Double-doubles despite injury
Gobert finished with 14 points (5-7 FG, 4-5 FT), 13 rebounds and three steals in 35 minutes during Saturday's 111-105 loss to the Heat.
ANALYSIS
Gobert briefly left the game with a foot injury but returned and put up a pretty standard line. It was his 10th double-double of the season and his second time reaching three steals.
Nov 13, 2021
Returns to game
Gobert (foot) returned to the Jazz's game Saturday, per Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel.
ANALYSIS
Despite the injury concern, Gobert returned after a brief respite that lasted less than 10 minutes.
Nov 13, 2021
Limps to locker room
Gobert limped to the locker room during the first quarter of Saturday's matchup against the Heat, Ryan Miller of KSL.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Gobert seems to have injured his left foot. He should be considered questionable to return.
Nov 11, 2021
Hits showers early
Gobert was ejected from Thursday's game against the Pacers after picking up his second technical foul, Eric Walden of The Salt Lake Tribune reports. He finished with 19 points (7-10 FG, 5-7 FT), 11 rebounds and one block in 31 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Gobert got into a shoving match with Myles Turner late in the fourth quarter, resulting in his ejection from the contest. He put together a strong performance prior to his early exit, notching his second double-double in three games.
Nov 8, 2021
Serves seven stoppers Sunday
Gobert produced 21 points (7-9 FG, 7-8 FT), 15 rebounds, four blocks, three steals and one assist in 34 minutes during Sunday's 107-100 loss to Orlando.
ANALYSIS
Coming off his worst game of the season, Gobert was tremendous for the Jazz, despite the loss. Not only did he produce another double-double, but he also added seven combined defensive stats and shot near-perfect from the line. He is putting together a really solid season and is about as reliable a fantasy player as you will find. As long as he remains healthy, he should be able to return value on his ADP.
Nov 7, 2021
Worst game of season so far
Gobert recorded eight points (4-5 FG, 0-2 FT), eight rebounds and a block across 29 minutes in Saturday's loss to the Heat.
ANALYSIS
Gobert opened the season with seven double-doubles over his first eight appearances, but he was unable to repeat such a feat in this one while posting his lowest marks in both points and rebounds. However, Gobert remains a nightly double-double threat and could very well bounce back as soon as Sunday, when the Jazz takes on the Magic on the road.
Nov 5, 2021
Anchors Utah victory
Gobert had 13 points (5-6 FG, 3-7 FT), 15 rebounds, three assists and two steals over 33 minutes in a 116-98 win over the Hawks on Thursday night.
ANALYSIS
Gobert (heel) showed no signs of lingering foot soreness which held him out of Thursday's game. Gobert failed to block a shot for the second game this season, but managed to log his typical output elsewhere. He next takes the court Saturday in a defensive showdown with the Heat.
Nov 4, 2021
Not on injury report
Gobert is not on the injury report for Thursday's game against the Hawks.
ANALYSIS
Updating a previous note, Gobert is not, in fact, listed on Utah's latest report and should be a full go for Thursday night's contest. The big man is off to another strong start, leading the league in rebounding (17.6 RPG) and posting a double-double in six of his first seven games. He finished Tuesday's win over the Kings with 12 points, 20 boards, one assist, one steal and four blocks.
Nov 3, 2021
Won't play Thursday
Gobert has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Hawks due to right heel injury recovery.
ANALYSIS
Gobert delivered 12 points (3-4 FG, 6-9 FT), 20 rebounds, four blocks, one assist and one steal in 33 minutes during Tuesday's win over Sacramento, and he'll miss his first game of the season Thursday. Hassan Whiteside and Eric Paschall should have increased roles in his absence.
Nov 1, 2021
Blocks four shots in Sunday's loss
Gobert amassed just nine points (2-3 FG, 5-6 FT), 13 rebounds, four blocks, two assists and one steal in 31 minutes during Sunday's 107-95 victory over Milwaukee.
ANALYSIS
Gobert was quiet from the field in the victory but delivered his typical serving of boards and blocks. As option four or five on the offensive end, fantasy managers are used to these types of disappearing acts. While a steadier stream of points would be nice. you take what you can get and just sit back and enjoy the elite aspects he brings on a nightly basis.
Oct 30, 2021
Grabs 19 board Saturday
Gobert totaled 17 points (7-9 FG, 3-4 FT), 19 rebounds, three blocks, one assist and one steal in 32 minutes during Saturday's 107-99 loss to the Bulls.
ANALYSIS
Gobert continues his tremendous start to the season, putting up yet another double-double. He was able to neutralize Nikola Vucevic, keeping him to just 4-of-19 shooting. Despite his sturdy defense, the Jazz fell short, suffering their first loss of the season. The Jazz are almost certainly going to be pushing for the top seed in the West yet again, meaning Gobert should be able to maintain his current production.
Oct 27, 2021
Third straight double-double
Gobert recorded 23 points (7-8 FG, 9-16 FT), 16 rebounds and a block across 33 minutes in Tuesday's win over Denver.
ANALYSIS
It has been a dominant start to the season for the French big man, who has three double-doubles in equal number of appearances -- he's scored at least 16 points and has pulled down at least 16 rebounds in every game so far. Through three contests, the veteran is averaging 18.7 points and 19.0 rebounds per game while shooting an impressive 70.8 percent from the field.
Oct 23, 2021
Pulls down 20 boards in win
Gobert recorded 17 points (4-7 FG, 9-10 FT), 20 rebounds, two assists and two steals across 32 minutes in Friday's win over the Kings.
ANALYSIS
Gobert has opened the season with back-to-back double-doubles, and while that shouldn't be surprising considering he posted that feat 58 times in 2020-21, the fact that he has already pulled down 41 rebounds through two games certainly stands out. He registered seven games with at least 20 rebounds during the 2020-21 regular season.
Oct 21, 2021
Opens season with double-double
Gobert recorded 16 points (6-9 FG, 4-6 FT), 21 rebounds and one block in 29 minutes during Wednesday's victory over the Thunder.
ANALYSIS
Gobert had his way with the Thunder, putting up the first of what could be many double-doubles. His role is about as secure as you will find anywhere in the league and his durability only adds to his overall fantasy value. Managers likely parted with a second-round draft pick to secure his services and based on the facts in front of us, he should be able to meet that value moving forward.
Oct 11, 2021
Seeing preseason action
Gobert is starting Monday's preseason game against the Pelicans, Eric Walden of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
ANALYSIS
Gobert was held out of each of the first two exhibitions, as the Jazz aimed to get him some extra rest before the regular season. He'll start alongside Mike Conley, Donovan Mitchell, Bojan Bogdanovic and Royce O'Neale.
Oct 6, 2021
Remains out Wednesday
Gobert (rest) has been ruled out for Wednesday's preseason game against the Mavericks, Andy Larsen of KSL.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Gobert missed Monday's preseason opener due to rest purposes, and he'll get another night off Wednesday. Hassan Whiteside and Udoka Azubuike will likely see increased work against Dallas.
Oct 4, 2021
Won't play Monday
Gobert will be held out of Monday's preseason game against San Antonio, Andy Larsen of KSL.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The veteran center will simply get the night off, with the team seeing no need to give him minutes this early. Hassan Whiteside and Udoka Azubuike should see more run as a result.
Jun 19, 2021
Fails to blocks shot in Game 6
Gobert finished with 12 points (5-6 FG, 2-4 FT), 10 rebounds, two assists and two steals in 42 minutes during Friday's 131-119 Game 6 loss to the Clippers.
ANALYSIS
Gobert had just a combined two blocks across the final four games of the series, with Utah losing all four contests to get bounced from the playoffs. Overall, Gobert finished the playoffs with averages of 14.7 points, 12.3 rebounds and 2.1 blocks while shooting 74.1 percent from the field.
Jun 19, 2021
Exposed defensively in Game 6
Gobert had 12 points (5-6 FG, 2-4 FT), 10 rebounds, two assists and two steals in 42 minutes Friday against the Clippers.
ANALYSIS
Gobert had a modest offensive performance with just one missed shot but looked lost and confused on defense, particularly in the second half. The Clippers inserted Terrence Mann into Friday's starting five and went with a small-ball lineup that completely took Gobert off his game. The Clippers had five shooters on the floor for most of the game and one was always open. They were spread out along the three-point line while Gobert was down low trying to be a rim protector. He did not record a blocked shot for a second straight game and was constantly being taken out of position. The 2021 NBA Defensive MVP finished with a game-low -24 and will head into the offseason with a bitter taste in his mouth after a disappointing playoff exit.
Jun 17, 2021
Fails to block a shot in Game 5
Gobert ended with 17 points (6-8 FG, 5-8 FT), 10 rebounds, one assist and one steal in 42 minutes during Wednesday's 119-111 loss to the Clippers.
ANALYSIS
Gobert finished with a double-double in the loss but surprisingly came up empty when it came to blocked shots. The Clippers continue to play a style of offense that is able to negate his impact on the defensive end, something that is going to have to be rectified if they are to advance to the Western Conference Finals.
Jun 15, 2021
Limited production in loss
Gobert finished with 11 points (4-4 FG, 3-4 FT), eight rebounds and one block in 32 minutes during Monday's 118-104 loss to the Clippers.
ANALYSIS
Gobert was basically taken out of the equation by the Clippers who went primarily with a small-ball lineup. A tactic that has been implemented throughout the series thus far, Gobert was simply unable to impact the game on either end of the floor. This strategy is almost certainly going to repeat itself in Game 5 and so the Jazz will hoping he can have more of a tangible influence on the game, at least on the defensive end of the floor.
Jun 13, 2021
Registers another double-double
Gobert totaled 12 points (4-7 FG, 4-4 FT), 10 rebounds, a steal and a blocked shot over 30 minutes in Saturday's loss to the Clippers in Game 3 of the Western Conference Semifinals.
ANALYSIS
The big man's performance paled in comparison to his 13-point, 20-rebound, three-block effort in Game 2, but Gobert still finished with his seventh double-double this postseason. He also extended his streak of contests with at least one blocked shot to 11 games, including each of his eight playoff contests. Gobert and the Jazz will look to get back on track in Game 4 of the series Monday.
Jun 11, 2021
Pulls down 20 boards
Gobert totaled 13 points (4-5 FG, 5-7 FT), 20 rebounds, three blocked shots and two steals across 36 minutes Thursday in a 117-111 win over the Clippers in Game 2 of the Western Conference Semifinals.
ANALYSIS
Gobert was relatively quiet with 10 points, 12 boards and two blocks in Game 1, but he surpassed each of those numbers in an impressive Game 2. The big man has double-doubled in all but one of his seven postseason games thus far in 2021 and has finished with multiple blocks in each of those contests. He is averaging 15.7 points, 13.9 rebounds and 3.0 blocks in the postseason overall.
Jun 9, 2021
Named Defensive Player of the Year
Gobert has been named the 2020-21 NBA Defensive Player of the Year, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
This marks the third time Gobert has won the award in the last four seasons as he joins Dikembe Mutombo, Ben Wallace and Dwight Howard as the only players to win DPOY honors at least three times. Gobert won the award by a fairly wide margin, earning 84 first-place votes while runner-up Ben Simmons received 15. During the regular season, Gobert averaged 14.3 points, 13.5 rebounds and 2.7 blocks per game, and he is currently averaging three blocks per contest in this year's playoffs.
Jun 9, 2021
Muted effort in Game 1 victory
Gobert ended with 10 points (2-6 FG, 6-9 FT), 12 rebounds and two blocks in 33 minutes during Tuesday's 112-109 victory over the Clippers.
ANALYSIS
Gobert was held in check in what was an underwhelming performance Tuesday. The Clippers did a decent job of negating his impact by going small to being the game. That said, Gobert's influence can often be felt despite the fact he may not be accumulating tangible production. He typically alters a number of shot attempts, simply due to his presence inside the paint.

Jun 3, 2021
Impressive in clinching win
Gobert went for 23 points (10-13 FG, 3-4 FT), 15 rebounds, three blocks and two assists across 33 minutes in Wednesday's win over the Grizzlies.
ANALYSIS
Gobert delivered a dominant effort in Game 5, as he finished with his best scoring output of the series and also tied his series-high mark for rebounds with 15. The Frenchman posted four double-doubles in five games against Memphis and also registered multiple blocks in each contest, as he showcased his two-way upside on a nightly basis. He averaged 17.4 points, 13.0 rebounds and 3.2 blocks per game in the first-round series.
May 30, 2021
Pulls down 14 rebounds in win
Gobert totaled 15 points (7-8 FG, 1-3 FT), 14 rebounds and four blocked shots across 36 minutes in Saturday's 121-111 win over the Grizzlies.
ANALYSIS
Gobert was stellar on the defensive end but was also nearly perfect from the field in the victory. Jonas Valanciunas kept pace with Gobert throughout the game but couldn't match 😂his scoring total. While Gobert's shot volume is a little low in recent weeks, his contributions in rebounds and blocked shots more than make up for any dips in scoring.
May 27, 2021
Dominant in Game 2
Gobert posted 21 points (9-11 FG, 3-8 FT), 13 rebounds, four blocks and three assists in 36 minutes during Wednesday's 141-129 Game 2 win over the Grizzlies.
ANALYSIS
Thursday marked Gobert's first 20-point performance since May 3 against the Spurs. It was also his first game with at least four blocks since April 28 against the Kings. Gobert has now posted seven straight double-doubles, averaging 14.1 points, 15.9 rebounds, 2.1 blocks and 1.3 assists during this stretch.
May 24, 2021
Double-double with three blocks
Gobert tallied 11 points (4-4 FG, 3-6 FT), 15 rebounds and three blocks in 24 minutes during Sunday's 112-109 loss to the Grizzlies.
ANALYSIS
The 28-year-old now has sixth straight double-doubles dating back to May 8, a span in which he's averaging 13.0 points, 16.3 rebounds and 1.8 blocks. The Defensive Player of the Year-hopeful fouled out with just over four minutes left Sunday, so it's safe to say the Jazz missed his presence down the stretch. The eighth-year center will look to keep up his impressive play and help the Jazz even up the series Wednesday at home against the eighth-seeded Grizzlies.
May 17, 2021
Logs fifth-straight double-double
Gobert recorded 13 points (6-8 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-4 FT), 16 rebounds, two blocked shots and an assist across 28 minutes in Sunday's 121-99 win over the Kings.
ANALYSIS
Gobert has kept the Jazz's offense and defense churning despite losing marquee guard Donovan Mitchell, and due in large part to the standout center, the Jazz find themselves as the top seed in the West with the best record in the league. Regardless of who the Jazz face in the first round, Gobert will look to extend his current double-double streak and put the memory of last season's playoff exit behind him.
May 15, 2021
Grabs 18 boards in win
Gobert had 16 points (5-9 FG, 6-9 FT), 18 rebounds and two blocks in Friday's win over the Thunder.
ANALYSIS
The game was a blowout in the third quarter, so Gobert was limited to 27 minutes, but that was more than enough to produce a monster double-double. Coming off of a 15-point, 20-rebound effort against Portland on Wednesday, Gobert has now double-doubled in seven of his last 10 games, including four in a row.
May 13, 2021
Grabs 20 rebounds Wednesday
Gobert tallied 15 points (6-8 FG, 3-4 FT), 20 rebounds, two assists, one steal and one block during Wednesday's 105-98 loss to Portland.
ANALYSIS
Gobert continued his domination off the glass with his sixth 20-plus rebounding performance of the season. it was also his third straight double-double and 47th overall one this year. Gobert is averaging 12.4 points and 13.4 rebounds over his past five outings.
May 11, 2021
Double-double in loss
Gobert accumulated 10 points (4-6 FG, 2-3 FT), 16 rebounds and one assist in 30 minutes during Monday's 119-116 loss to the Jazz.
ANALYSIS
The 28-year-old has now double-doubled in four out of his last six games, a span in which he's averaging 14.0 points, 13.0 rebounds, 1.5 blocks and 0.8 steals while shooting 65.4 percent from the field. Gobert is averaging a career-high 2.7 blocks through 68 games and is making a strong case for the Defensive Player of the Year award. He'll look to keep his stellar season going Wednesday at home against the Blazers.
May 9, 2021
Double-doubles with three blocks
Gobert had 13 points (6-9 FG, 1-2 FT), 14 rebounds, three blocks, an assist and a steal across 31 minutes in Saturday's win over Houston.
ANALYSIS
Gobert grabbed double-digit rebounds after two games in which he was unable to do so, but he still has six double-doubles over his last 11 appearances. The Frenchman's scoring figures have dipped a bit of late and has scored at least 15 points just once over his last seven games, but he has supplemented that lack of scoring with impressive numbers in defensive categories.
May 8, 2021
Sniffs double-double
Gobert registered 14 points (5-9 FG, 4-4 FT), nine rebounds, two blocks, two assists and a steal across 35 minutes in Friday's win over the Nuggets.
ANALYSIS
Gobert has failed to record a double-double in each of his last two appearances, but the big man remains one of the most productive centers in the league. He's averaging 14.1 points, 11.8 rebounds and 2.2 blocks per game over his last 10 appearances.
May 4, 2021
Massive effort in win over Spurs
Gobert scored 24 points (10-14 FG, 4-7 FT) to go along with 15 rebounds, three blocks, two steals and one assist across 30 minutes in Monday's win over the Spurs.
ANALYSIS
Gobert continued his stretch of massive production and has totaled 31 rebounds across his last two games. He's also tallied defensive stats as expected, racking up at least three blocks in four of his last five games. The only blemish to his box scores continues to be his free-throw percentage, which sunk to 62.0 percent for the season with Monday's performance.
May 2, 2021
Corrals 16 boards
Gobert tallied 13 points (6-8 FG, 1-2 FT), 16 rebounds, a steal and a blocked shot Saturday in a 106-102 win over the Raptors.
ANALYSIS
Gobert left much of the scoring in the contest up to Bojan Bogdanovic (34 points), but he made his usual impact on the boards, collecting double-digit rebounds for the 53rd time this season. Not surprisingly, Gobert ranks second in the NBA with 13.4 boards per contest and also ranks second with 2.8 swats per game. Meanwhile, he is averaging 14.3 points on 67.8 percent shooting from the field.
Apr 29, 2021
Blocks five shots in victory
Gobert tallied 12 points (5-7 FG, 2-2 FT), 10 rebounds, five blocks and one steal in 24 minutes during Wednesday's 154-105 victory over the Kings.
ANALYSIS
Gobert had his way with the Kings in what was one of the most lopsided games of the season. The starters were all able to get some much-needed rest down the stretch as the second unit took over. The Jazz are assured a playoff berth but are likely to push for the top seed in the West and so we should see Gobert out there more often than not as we close the regular season.
Apr 27, 2021
Perfect from field in loss
Gobert collected 18 points (8-8 FG, 2-4 FT), five rebounds, three blocks, two assists and one steal in a 105-104 loss to the Timberwolves on Monday.
ANALYSIS
Gobert was perfect from the field for the fifth time this season and also blocked multiple shots for the fifth time in his last six contests. The center had recorded double-digit boards in 10 consecutive games prior to Monday's season-low rebound total. Across his last 11 contests, Gobert has averaged 13.8 points, 14.8 rebounds and 2.2 blocks per game.
Apr 26, 2021
Still racking up boards and blocks
Gobert is averaging 13.6 points, 16.4 rebounds and 3.2 blocks over his last five games.
ANALYSIS
It's no secret that the big man has once again been among the best centers in the league this season, but he's been on even more of a tear of late. Spurred by a 13-point, 14-rebound, seven-block effort against the Thunder on April 13, Gobert has racked up double-doubles and multiple blocks in four of his last five games. Since the All-Star break (23 games), Gobert has posted 14.7 points, 14.4 rebounds and 2.9 blocks in 31.6 minutes.
Apr 25, 2021
Falls short of double-double
Jokic produced nine points (3-6 FG, 3-3 FT), 17 rebounds and a blocked shot across 36 minutes in Saturday's 101-96 loss to the Timberwolves.
ANALYSIS
Jookic broke a five-game double-double streak in Saturday's loss. The shot volume just wasn't there for Jokic, who attempted an uncharacteristically low six shots in the contest. He exceeds six shot attempts 75 percent of the time, so the meager total is an outlier relative to his normal production.
Apr 22, 2021
Double-double in win
Gobert totaled 19 points (9-12 FG, 1-2 FT), 18 rebounds and two blocks in a 112-89 victory over the Rockets on Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Gobert recorded his fifth consecutive double-double while playing his usual stellar defense. The center has rarely missed shots in April and has shot an astounding 80.5 percent from the field. Across 11 contests this month, Gobert has averaged 14.1 points, 14.5 rebounds and 2.4 blocks per game.
Apr 20, 2021
Returns with double-double
Gobert posted 14 points (5-7 FG, 4-5 FT), 10 rebounds, two blocked shots, two assists and a steal across 29 minutes in Monday's 111-97 win over the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
Gobert returned from a rest day and excelled on both ends of the court. The center is still a leading contender for Defensive Player of the Year, but it's his offensive play that has stood out recently. He's recorded double-digit scoring totals in nine of his last 10 games and only trails Clint Capela with an average of 13.5 rebounds per game.
Apr 19, 2021
Gets green light
Gobert (knee) will play Monday against the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
Gobert was held out Saturday for rest purposes and has also been dealing with a bruised knee, but he'll be back in action Monday night, as expected. He's registered a double-double in six of his last seven contests, averaging 13.1 points, 16.1 boards and 2.3 blocks over that stretch.
Apr 18, 2021
Probable Monday
Gobert is probable for Monday's game against the Lakers due to a right knee contusion.
ANALYSIS
Gobert sat out Saturday's game for rest purposes, but he's now dealing with a knee issue. However, he'll likely be able to return to the court against Los Angeles. The 28-year-old has averaged 12.4 points and 16.0 rebounds in 33.8 minutes per game across his last five appearances.
Apr 17, 2021
Won't play Saturday
Gobert (rest) is out for Saturday's game against the Lakers, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Gobert will get a rest day Saturday and will miss his first game of the season. Derrick Favors has also been ruled out with a knee injury, so Ersan Ilyasova could see extra minutes at center for the Jazz.
Apr 16, 2021
Hauls in 23 boards
Gobert went for 13 points (6-7 FG, 1-4 FT), 23 rebounds, four blocks, one assist and one steal in 38 minutes of Friday's victory over the Pacers.
ANALYSIS
That's now five games with at least 20 rebounds for Gobert after one such game last season. He's also swatted 11 shots over his last two contests. For the season, Gobert is averaging a career high in both rebounds (13.6) and blocks (2.9).
Apr 14, 2021
Sniffs odd triple-double
Gobert recorded 13 points (6-7 FG, 1-2 FT), 14 rebounds, seven blocks, an assist and a steal across 34 minutes in Tuesday's win over the Thunder.
ANALYSIS
Gobert ended just three blocks away from putting up a triple-double with points, rebounds and swats. The star center continues to be a nightly double-double threat for Utah and has accomplished that feat five times over his last six outings while also recording multiple blocks an astonishing 42 times in the current campaign.
Apr 13, 2021
Double-double in loss
Gobert scored 12 points (5-7 FG, 2-5 FT) with 12 rebounds and three assists in a 125-121 loss to Washington on Monday.
ANALYSIS
Gobert failed to record a defensive stat for the first time this season but was slightly more aggressive on offense which led to his fourth double-double in his last five games. The center was coming off an outing of just two shot attempts, so it was good to see the big man be more involved offensively. Gobert is averaging 13.2 points and 15.2 rebounds per game across his last five contests.
Apr 9, 2021
Blows up with 21 rebounds
Gobert turned in 18 points (6-9 FG, 6-7 FT), 21 rebounds, two assists and a blocked shot across 32 minutes in Thursday's 122-103 win over the Trail Blazers.
ANALYSIS
Gobert put up a third-straight double-double in the win and supplied his second-best rebounding total of the season. His rebounding and shot-blocking ability put him squarely in the Defensive Player of the Year hunt once again, and right now, he shows no sign of letting up.
Apr 9, 2021
Puts up another huge double-double
Gobert tallied 18 points (6-9 FG, 6-7 FT), 21 rebounds and a blocked shot across 32 minutes in a 122-103 win over Portland on Thursday.
ANALYSIS
The All-Star center has been a beast on the boards over his past three games, averaging 17.7 rebounds per contest. He has posted a modest three total blocks over that span, but Gobert has also averaged 16.0 points and shot an absurd 86.4 percent from the field. He has also converted 20 of his past 25 free-throw attempts (80.0 percent), boosting his already-substantial fantasy value.
Apr 8, 2021
Grabs 18 boards
Gobert tallied 16 points (7-7 FG, 2-2 FT), 18 rebounds, two assists and three steals across 37 minutes in Wednesday's loss to Phoenix.
ANALYSIS
Surprisingly, the league's second-leading shot blocker didn't swat any shots in the contest, but he posted a perfect mark from the field and the free-throw line while contributing 18 boards. Gobert also racked up three steals in the loss, tying his high mark this season. The big man isn't a prolific scorer (14.6 points per contest), but he offers plenty of fantasy value elsewhere with season averages of 13.3 boards, 2.9 blocks and a 66.2 field-goal percentage.
Apr 6, 2021
Another strong performance despite loss
Gobert had 14 points (6-6 FG, 2-3 FT), 15 rebounds, two assists and two blocks in 34 minutes during Monday's 111-103 loss to Dallas.
ANALYSIS
Gobert is about as reliable as they come and that held true again despite what was an ugly loss for the Jazz. With basically no competition for playing time, Gobert has an incredible fantasy floor and should be able to continue on his current trajectory for the remainder of the season.
Mar 29, 2021
Records 32nd double-double
Gobert tallied 18 points (5-8 FG, 8-10 FT), 17 rebounds, four blocks and two steals in 27 minutes during Monday's 114-75 win over the Cavaliers.
ANALYSIS
The 28-year-old now has at least one block in 45 straight games. Gobert is averaging a career-high 2.9 blocks a game this season on top of averaging 14.7 points and 13.4 rebounds on 64.9 percent field-goal shooting. The eighth-year center is dominating on both sides of the court for the Western Conference's No. 1 seeded Jazz and deserves to be in the conversation for both MVP and Defensive Player of the Year.
Mar 28, 2021
Records double-double in win
Gobert posted 16 points (6-10 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 4-7 FT), 14 rebounds, two blocked shots and an assist across 27 minutes in Saturday's 126-110 win over the Grizzlies.
ANALYSIS
Gobert currently only trails Clint Capela as the top rebounder in the league with an average of 13.3 boards per contest. He also ranks second in blocked shots with an average of three swats per game. To exclude Gobert from MVP consideration would be unfair at this point, as the center is an extremely valuable playmaker for the Jazz, who have the best record in the NBA.
Mar 27, 2021
Scores 25 with two blocks
Gobert went for 25 points (11-14 FG, 3-4 FT), nine rebounds and two blocks in Friday's win over the Grizzlies.
ANALYSIS
Gobert made efficient work of the Memphis frontcourt, notching his highest point total since Feb. 12, while tying his season high in made field goals. Since the All-Star break, the Defensive Player of the Year candidate is averaging a monstrous 16.6 points, 14.0 rebounds and 4.0 blocks in 31.8 minutes.
Mar 25, 2021
Swats three shots Wednesday
Gobert finished Wednesay's 118-88 win over the Nets with eight points (2-3 FG, 4-4 FT), 11 rebounds and three blocked shots across 24 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Utah had little need for Gobert's offense in a game they ran away with early, but the All-Star center made his mark on the boards and on defense despite playing only 24 minutes. Gobert has swatted at least two shots in seven consecutive contests and trails only Myles Turner (3.4 blocks per game) with a per-game average of 3.0 swats on the season.
Mar 22, 2021
Blocks career-high nine shots
Gobert registered 21 points (9-11 FG, 3-3 FT), 10 rebounds, nine blocks and two assists in 33 minutes during Monday's win over the Bulls.
ANALYSIS
The Defensive Player of the Year-hopeful came up one block short of a triple-double. Gobert came into Monday's game questionable with a hip injury, but the veteran center looked healthy and dominant. As long as his hip injury doesn't linger, Gobert is locked into heavy minutes the rest of the way and should continue to provide fantasy managers with elite points, rebounds, blocks and field-goal percentage.
Mar 22, 2021
Active against Bulls
Gobert (hip) will play Monday against the Bulls, Andy Larsen of KSL.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Gobert sustained a bruised hip during Thursday's loss to the Clippers, but he'll be able to suit up for a second straight contest. He'll likely serve in his usual capacity as a starter after recording 15 points, 16 rebounds, one assist and two blocks over 35 minutes during Friday's win over the Raptors.
Mar 21, 2021
Listed questionable for Monday
Gobert is listed as questionable for Monday's game against Chicago due to a bruised hip, Andy Larsen of the Salt Lake Tribune reports.
ANALYSIS
Gobert picked up the injury during Friday's win over the Raptors, and the Jazz will keep a close eye on his status over the next 24 hours. At this point, Gobert is roughly a 50/50 chance to play, though Larsen notes that he "would be surprised" if the big man sits out Monday night.
Mar 20, 2021
Puts up 15 and 16 in win
Gobert finished Friday's win over Toronto with 15 points (5-9 FG, 5-7 FT), 16 rebounds and a pair of blocks.
ANALYSIS
A hip injury landed Gobert on the injury report heading into the game, but he did not appear to be limited, playing 35 minutes in the narrow victory. Gobert has now posted five straight double-doubles while blocking 3.6 shots per game over that stretch.
Mar 19, 2021
Officially available Friday
Gobert (hip) is available for Friday's game against Toronto, Tony Jones of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Gobert was a game-time call heading into Friday's contest due to a left hip bruise, but he'll be able to suit up for the Jazz. He'll likely serve in his usual role as a starter, but it's unclear whether he could have any restrictions Friday.
Mar 19, 2021
Questionable Friday
Gobert is questionable for Friday's game against the Raptors due to a left hip bruise, Andy Larsen of KSL.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Gobert suffered the injury Thursday during the surprise loss to the Wizards. He has yet to miss a game this season. If Gobert does end up sidelined, Derrick Favors would presumably step into the starting five.
Mar 18, 2021
Fourth straight double-double
Gobert totaled 10 points (4-8 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-10 FT), 13 rebounds, two steals and two blocks across 33 minutes during Thursday's loss to the Wizards.
ANALYSIS
Gobert might have turned in his lowest scoring output since Feb. 19, but he managed to extend his double-double streak to four. Gobert also swatted a shot early in the second quarter and has now done so in every game outside of opening night. Post All-Star break, Gobert is averaging 16.0 points, 16.5 rebounds, 4.0 blocks, 1.0 steals and 0.8 assists per game.
Mar 16, 2021
Double-double in win
Gobert tallied 16 points (5-6 FG, 6-7 FT), 12 rebounds, four blocks and one assist in 33 minutes during Tuesday's win against the Celtics.
ANALYSIS
The 28-year-old is firing on all cylinders since coming out of the All-Star break, averaging 18.0 points, 17.7 rebounds and a whopping 4.7 blocks while shooting 68 percent from the field over his last three games. Gobert's free-throw percentage has been hovering around 60 percent for most of the season, so the efficient night from the line was nice to see. He will look to continue his hot streak on Thursday when the Jazz travel to Washington to play the Wizards.
Mar 14, 2021
Monstrous performance in loss
Gobert tallied 24 points (8-10 FG, 8-13 FT) 28 rebounds, four blocks, two steals and one assist during Sunday's loss to the Warriors.
ANALYSIS
Gobert ended the first half of the season with consecutive games grabbing single-digit rebounds. Post All-Star break, Gobert has grabbed 13 and 28 rebounds (career high) respectively while totaling 10 blocks. All of last season, Gobert had just one contest in which he grabbed 20 rebounds. This season, he's hit that mark now three times.
Mar 13, 2021
Dominates defensively Friday
Gobert tallied 14 points (5-9 FG, 4-6 FT), 13 rebounds and six blocked shots across 32 minutes in a 114-99 win over the Rockets on Friday.
ANALYSIS
The big man had gone back-to-back games without a double-double prior to the All-Star break, but he ended that streak Friday while tying his season high with six blocked shots. Though Gobert is unlikely to ever compete for a scoring title, his ability to dominate on the glass and on defense make him one of the most steady centers in the game. On the season, he ranks second in the league in rebounds per game (13.1), second in blocks per game (2.8) and third in field-goal percentage (63.8 percent).
Mar 3, 2021
Quiet night in loss
Gobert totaled 12 points (4-10 FG, 4-6 FT), nine rebounds, four assists and one block across 38 minutes in the overtime loss to the 76ers on Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Gobert has now failed to grab double-digit rebounds in back-to-back games for just the second time this season. He did manage to swat a shot, making it 35 straight games he's done so with the only game he failed to block a shot coming on opening night. Gobert also collected a steal in his fourth straight game. While the points production won't be high on a nightly basis, he can be counted on to contribute in other areas of the box score.
Mar 2, 2021
Swats five shots in loss
Gobert collected 22 points (9-13 FG, 4-6 FT), nine rebounds, five blocks, one assist and one steal in Utah's 129-124 loss to New Orleans on Monday.
ANALYSIS
Gobert just missed a double-double, but was dominant on both ends of the floor. Monday was the fourth time in which Gobert has had at least five blocks in a game, as he tries to chase down Myles Turner as the league leader in total blocks. The center won't provide fantasy managers with many big point totals, but Monday was Gobert's fifth 20-point game of the season. He remains one of the best interior defenders in the league, providing elite rebound and block totals for fantasy managers.
Feb 28, 2021
Another stellar two-way effort
Gobert notched 12 points (6-6 FG, 0-4 FT), 16 rebounds, three assists, two blocks and a steal across 30 minutes in Saturday's win over the Magic.
ANALYSIS
Gobert was perfect from the field, contributed with blocks and grabbed at least 15 boards for the 12th time this season. Perhaps the lone negative aspect of his performance was the fact that he missed his four shots from the charity stripe, but Gobert still looked dominant on both ends of the court. He has 11 double-doubles over his last 13 appearances.
Feb 26, 2021
Double-double in losing effort
Gobert totaled 15 points (4-7 FG, 7-7 FT), 12 rebounds, two blocks, one assist and one steal in 37 minutes of Friday's loss to the Heat.
ANALYSIS
Double-doubles are a common occurrence for Gobert, collecting 23 of them over 33 games. On top of that, he has now swatted a shot in all but the opening contest of the campaign. As a whole, Gobert has enjoyed a nice season, putting up 14.1 points, 13.3 rebounds and 2.7 blocks per game.
Feb 25, 2021
Just misses double-double
Gobert finished with 18 points (8-12 FG, 2-3 FT), nice rebounds and a blocked shot in a 114-89 victory over the Lakers on Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Gobert's point total tied with Jordan Clarkson for tops on the team. His nine boards were slightly below his season average, though that can be attributed to the blowout nature of the win keeping him on the sidelines for approximately 21 minutes. The recently-minted All Star has enjoyed a typically solid season, posting per-game averages of 14.0 points, 13.3 boards and a career-high 2.8 blocks.
Feb 22, 2021
Puts up another double-double
Gobert registered 10 points (3-4 FG, 4-4 FT), 12 rebounds, six blocks and an assist across 30 minutes in Monday's win over the Hornets.
ANALYSIS
Gobert is one of the best two-way threats in the league and has posted eight double-doubles over his last 10 appearances while logging double-digit rebounds in all but one of those contests. The six blocks also tied a season-high mark for the Frenchman, who continues to show why he's one of the most dominant big men in the league on a nightly basis.
Feb 18, 2021
Tallies 20-20 effort Wednesday
Gobert put up 23 points (8-12 FG, 7-8 FT), 20 rebounds, a steal and a blocked shot in Wednesday's 114-96 win over the Clippers.
ANALYSIS
Gobert's 20-20 performance was his second of the campaign, with the other coming Jan. 27 in a win over the Mavericks. The big man trailed only Donovan Mitchell among Jazz players with 23 points, and he also swatted a shot for the 28th straight game. Fantasy managers who roster Gobert may be most pleased with his results from the free-throw line, as the center converted seven of his eight attempts after coming into the campaign at only 58.1 percent from the charity stripe on the season. Gobert isn't going to score 20-plus points most nights, but his elite rebounding and shot-blocking ability along with an upper-echelon field-goal percentage make him a valuable fantasy asset.
Feb 16, 2021
Close to another double-double
Gobert scored 11 points (3-3 FG, 5-8 FT) to go along with nine rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal in Utah's 134-123 victory over Philadelphia on Monday.
ANALYSIS
Gobert had an unusual "quiet" night despite playing his usual minutes. The center still impacted the game on defense coming away with multiple blocks for the eighth straight game but only attempted three shots. Gobert failed to record double-digit rebounds for only the fourth time this season and had a streak of six straight double-doubles end Monday. Look for Gobert to get more involved on offense Wednesday against the Clippers.
Feb 14, 2021
Records 20th double-double
Gobert totaled 16 points (6-7 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 4-5 FT), 12 rebounds and three blocked shots across 30 minutes in Saturday's 112-94 win over the Heat.
ANALYSIS
Gobert put up six double-doubles during the Jazz's seven-game winning streak and swatted balls with an average of 4.4 blocks per game during that span. He only trails Myles Turner for the best blocked-shot average in the league.
Feb 13, 2021
Terrific two-way performance
Gobert recorded 27 points (9-12 FG, 9-13 FT), 12 rebounds and four blocks Friday in a 129-115 win versus Milwaukee.
ANALYSIS
Gobert's performance Friday was his first with at least 20 points, 10 rebounds and four blocks since Jan. 25 last year. Despite the pleasant anomaly, he has remained a vital piece for the Jazz during their undefeated streak in February. Gobert is averaging 15.5 points, 12.3 rebounds and 3.2 blocks across six games.
Feb 10, 2021
Almost perfect from field
Gobert racked up 18 points (8-9 FG, 2-3 FT), 12 rebounds, three assists and three blocks across 36 minutes in Tuesday's win over the Celtics.
ANALYSIS
Gobert will never be a dominant scoring presence, but he undoubtedly delivers value in both rebounding and defensive stats. Gobert has scored in double digits in all but five of his contests, and he is coming off two straight games with 15-plus points. This will do nothing but boosting his upside going forward.
Feb 8, 2021
Big double-double against Pacers
Gobert recorded 16 points (7-9 FG, 2-9 FT), 16 rebounds and three blocks across 31 minutes Sunday in a 103-95 win at Indiana.
ANALYSIS
Even though Gobert missed seven free throws, he supplied his seventh game with over 15 points. He logged his third consecutive double-double and swatted away more than two blocks for the 13th time this season. Gobert's performance Sunday concluded a flawless three-game road trip for the Jazz in which he averaged 13.0 points, 14.3 rebounds and 3.0 blocks.
Feb 5, 2021
Swats four shots
Gobert recorded 12 points (4-4 FG, 4-5 FT) to go along with 15 rebounds and four blocks across 27 minutes in Friday's win over the Hornets.
ANALYSIS
Gobert matched a season-low four attempts from the field, though he was surprisingly efficient from the free-throw line to reach double-digit points. More impressive was his continued defensive dominance, and after another multi-block performance he's averaging a career-high 2.7 blocks per game. While the strong performance masks reason to panic, Gobert has uncharacteristically failed to reach 30 minutes in any of his last five games.
Feb 5, 2021
Double-doubles in 27 minutes
Gobert recorded 11 points (5-12 FG, 1-2 FT), 12 rebounds, two assists and two blocks across 27 minutes Thursday in a 112-91 win at Atlanta.
ANALYSIS
A blowout win Thursday gave Gobert some additional rest. Thus, his performance was a bit subpar but still better than previous outings against Denver (Sunday) and Detroit (Tuesday). Gobert's recent four-game span saw him average 26.5 minutes, eight less than the 34.3 he averaged for all of last season.
Jan 31, 2021
Two boards shy of double-double
Gobert registered 12 points (4-7 FG, 4-8 FT), eight rebounds, an assist and a block across 26 minutes in Sunday's loss against the Nuggets.
ANALYSIS
Gobert "only" made four of his seven shots, which is an oddity in him considering he's one of the top players in the league when it comes to field-goal percentage. This was a below-average performance for the towering Frenchman across most standards, as he also failed to record a double-double just for the second time in his last 10 games. He will have a good chance to deliver a bounce-back performance Tuesday at home against the Pistons.
Jan 30, 2021
Registers another double-double
Gobert posted 17 points (5-7 FG, 7-8 FT), 12 rebounds and two blocks in a win over Dallas on Friday.
ANALYSIS
Gobert finished with his eight straight double-double and 14th overall this season. He has also swatted at least one shot in every game aside from a loss to Portland on opening night. Though his 13.6 points per contest doesn't turn heads, Gobert ranks third in the NBA with 14.1 boards and 2.7 blocks per game. He is also shooting a superb 60.7 percent from the field.
Jan 28, 2021
Posts 20-20 game Wednesday
Gobert finished with 29 points (11-20 FG, 7-11 FT), 20 rebounds, three steals, three blocks and one assist in 37 minutes during Wednesday's 116-104 victory over the Mavericks.
ANALYSIS
Gobert went to town on the Mavericks, producing his first 20-20 game of the season. With Donovan Mitchell (concussion) on the sidelines, Gobert found himself with some added responsibility on the offensive end. Not only was the scoring a season-high, but he also complemented that with six defensive counters. He has been a top-25 player over the past two weeks and looks to be rediscovering some of his best form.
Jan 27, 2021
Double-double in ninth straight win
Gobert recorded 18 points (8-13 FG, 2-2 FT), 19 rebounds, four blocks and two assists in a 108-94 win Tuesday versus New York.
ANALYSIS
Team issues with outside shooting (31.3 percent) forced the seven-foot Gobert to attempt more field goals than usual. The center logged his season high in shot attempts, mainly dunks and layups he took advantage of for at least 10 easy points. The Knicks' second-half issues also allowed him to grab 12 boards across 16 minutes during that half. Gobert has been highly valuable as the team continues its current win streak, averaging 14.0 points and 14.7 rebounds in his past six games.
Jan 24, 2021
Records yet another double-double
Gobert posted 11 points (4-6 FG, 3-4 FT), 14 rebounds, two assists and one block in 24 minutes during the 127-108 win over Golden State on Saturday.
ANALYSIS
Gobert has been a force for Utah and that trend continued in the win Saturday. The center still has yet to chase down his first triple-double, but has gotten a double-double every game, besides one this year. Gobert does not have a shoot-first mentality, but is excellent in the paint. Most nights he just cracks double-digits in points, but he is always a good shout for grabs. Gobert remains viable on the great run of form he is on.
Jan 22, 2021
Sufficient again vs. Pelicans
Gobert recorded 12 points (6-8 FG), 11 rebounds, four blocks and two assists in a 129-118 win Thursday against the Pelicans.
ANALYSIS
It seems Gobert is back in form after averaging 9.4 points during the first half of January. He had supplied his usual defensive value (9.5 defensive rebounds and 3.4 blocks) but surprisingly failed to shoot over 50 percent on offense. Gobert can put it behind him now that he is heading into the Jazz's next matchup having averaged 13.8 points across their past four games.
Jan 20, 2021
Pulls down 18 rebounds
Gobert posted 13 points (6-8 FG, 1-6 FT), 18 rebounds, three blocks, an assist and a steal across 30 minutes in Tuesday's win over the Pelicans.
ANALYSIS
Gobert has grabbed double-digit boards in nine straight games and, in fact, he's done that in all but one of his appearances this season. He has also scored in double digits in three straight games and has posted nine double-doubles already, so it's fair to say he's making his presence felt on both ends of the court on a regular basis. Gobert should remain one of the top big men in the league, as he is also averaging 3.4 blocks per contest over his last nine games.
Jan 18, 2021
Registers another double-double
Gobert notched 15 points (4-5 FG, 7-13 FT), 13 rebounds, an assist and two blocks across 33 minutes in Sunday's win over the Nuggets.
ANALYSIS
Gobert posted an almost identical stat line compared to Friday's game against the Hawks, when he also ended with 15 points, 13 boards and an assist to go along with four blocks. The towering Frenchman has eight double-doubles this season and, while he's not likely to pace the Jazz in scoring any time soon, he remains one of the most productive big men in the league due to the fact he's able to make a big impact on both ends of the court on any given night.
Jan 16, 2021
Seventh double-double of season
Gobert posted 15 points (6-7 FG, 3-6 FT), 13 rebounds, four blocks and an assist across 28 minutes in Friday's win over the Hawks.
ANALYSIS
Gobert was coming off three straight single-digit scoring performances but delivered in a big way here, registering his best scoring output since Dec. 31, when he finished with 18 points. Gobert has also grabbed 10 or more rebounds in all but one game and has also blocked four shots in three of his last four contests, so it's clear the towering Frenchman has been making an impact on both ends of the court of late. He has already recorded four or more swats in six different games.
Jan 12, 2021
Wednesday's game postponed
The game between the Jazz and Wizards on Wednesday has been postponed, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
The Wizards do not have the required eight players available to play the contest. After Tuesday's game against the Cavaliers, the Jazz are now next scheduled to play Friday against the Hawks.
Jan 11, 2021
Brings defense in win
Gobert finished with four points (1-5 FG, 2-6 FT), 19 rebounds, four blocks and one assist in 33 minutes Sunday in the Jazz's 96-86 win over the Pistons.
ANALYSIS
Gobert has long provided much of his fantasy value on the defensive side of the ball, but his contributions on the offensive end have still been disappointing of late. The center has topped out at 14 points over the last five games, converting at a lowly 42.5 percent rate from the field and a 41.7 percent rate from the free-throw line. His field-goal percentage for the season now sits at 57.5 percent, down nearly 12 points from 2019-20.
Jan 6, 2021
Double-double in loss
Gobert scored 14 points (7-9 FG, 0-3 FT) while adding 12 rebounds, five blocks and two assists in 35 minutes during Wednesday's 112-100 loss to the Knicks.
ANALYSIS
The veteran center recorded his sixth double-double in eight games while falling one block shy of tying his season high. Gobert's posting his usual numbers in most categories but has struggled from the charity stripe in the early going, shooting only 55.3 percent (21-for-38) -- his lowest mark since his rookie campaign.
Jan 6, 2021
Continues poor shooting
Gobert had 10 points (3-10 FG, 4-5 FT), 11 rebounds, three assists and two blocks across 27 minutes in a loss against the Nets on Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
Gobert's fifth double-double was rather disappointing, as he shot 30 percent from the field. Gobert has had an unimpressive start to Utah's seven-game road trip, averaging 8.5 points with a 29.4 shot percentage. He will look at getting his offensive production back on track Wednesday against the Knicks.
Jan 4, 2021
Swats season-high six shots
Gobert recorded seven points (2-7 FG, 3-6 FT), 16 rebounds, six blocks and one assist in 27 minutes during Sunday's 130-109 win over the Spurs.
ANALYSIS
Gobert clearly contributed to the blowout win despite shooting poorly from the field, swatting a season-high six shots to go along with 16 boards in just 27 minutes. Through six games, he's been his usual self, averaging 14.5 points, 13.8 rebounds, 2.2 blocks and 1.7 assists.

Nears double-double Friday
Gobert posted 12 points (5-10 FG, 2-4 FT), nine rebounds, one assist, one steal and one block over 24 minutes in Friday's 106-100 win over the Clippers.
ANALYSIS
Friday's contest marked the first time this year that Gobert didn't record a double-double, but he was still quite productive against the Clippers in the win. The 28-year-old only played 24 minutes after averaging 35.5 minutes over the past two contests, so he should be more rested for Sunday's matchup against the Spurs.
Jan 1, 2021
Posts another double-double
Gobert scored 18 points (7-9 FG, 4-8 FT) to go with 14 rebounds, a steal, a block and a turnover in 34 minutes of Thursday's 106-95 loss to Phoenix.
ANALYSIS
Gobert posted yet another double-double on Thursday, including a team-high 14 rebounds in defeat. The center is a double-double machine, making him one of the highest floor players in fantasy, especially at a thin center position.
Dec 28, 2020
Records 250th double-double
Gobert provided 12 points (6-8 FG), 10 rebounds, four assists, four blocked shots and a steal across 37 minutes in Monday's 110-109 win over the Thunder.
ANALYSIS
Monday's double-double marked a significant milestone for Gobert as he logged his 250th double-double with the Jazz. Their opponent was also a dubious reminder, as it was his positive COVID-19 diagnosis that cut short a game against the Thunder on March 11, leading to a league-wide suspension of play. It's rare for any player to stick with a team for eight years, but the five-year, $205 million contract he signed this month may keep him in Utah until he retires.
Dec 27, 2020
Grabs 17 rebounds
Gobert provided 17 points (7-10 FG, 4-6 FT), 17 rebounds, two assists and a blocked shot across 29 minutes in Saturday's 116-111 loss to the Timberwolves.
ANALYSIS
Gobert notched 17 rebounds for a second consecutive game. He's also 15-of-20 from the floor during that span. The Frenchman has averaged a double-double for four consecutive seasons, and he appears well on his way to replicate that feat.
Dec 24, 2020
Dominates glass
Gobert scored 20 points (8-10 FG, 4-6 FT) and pulled down 17 rebounds in a win over Portland on Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Surprisingly, Gobert did not register a blocked shot in the contest, but he nonetheless made his mark with a game-high 17 boards -- making him the only player on either squad to pull down double-digit rebounds. The big man was also ultra efficient from the field, missing only two of his 10 field-goal attempts. Gobert figures to be a strong source of rebounds and blocks again this season, and his growing offensive game should serve to make him one of fantasy's most reliable centers.

Reaches massive extension with Utah
Gobert signed a five-year, $205 million contract with the Jazz on Sunday which includes a player option for the fifth season, Tim MacMahon of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
It's not quite the $228 million supermax just signed by reigning two-time MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo, but it's still the third-largest contract in NBA history. Gobert is a two-time NBA Defensive Player of the Year and also received All-NBA honors thrice, and he's coming off a 2019-20 campaign in which he averaged 15.1 points, 13.5 rebounds, 2.0 blocks and 1.5 assists over 34.3 minutes in 68 games. Guard Donovan Mitchell also signed his max extension in November, so the Jazz have clearly set the path for the future of the franchise under new team owner Ryan Smith, with up to $400 million committed to the pair.

Dec 15, 2020
Pulls down 20 boards
Gobert had 11 points (2-3 FG, 7-10 FT), 20 rebounds and two assists in Monday's preseason win over the Suns.
ANALYSIS
It was a monster night for Gobert, who finished as a plus-20 and continually got the best of Deandre Ayton and rookie Jalen Smith, who started for the Suns at power forward. Gobert did not block any shots, but he was dominant on the glass, nearly out-rebounding Phoenix's entire starting five in just 29 minutes.
Sep 2, 2020
Best efforts go unrewarded Monday
Gobert totaled 19 points (8-13 FG, 3-4 FT), 18 rebounds and two blocks in 39 minutes during Monday's 80-78 loss to the Nuggets.
ANALYSIS
Gobert had arguably his best game of the series Monday, hauling in 18 rebounds, 17 of which came in the second half. Despite solid production through the seven games, this is likely to be viewed as a sub-par effort on the whole. He averaged only 1.3 blocks per game while attempting double-digits shots in only four of the seven outings.
Aug 25, 2020
Another double-double
Gobert notched 11 points (4-9 FG, 3-4 FT), 12 rebounds, two assists and a block in 43 minutes during Tuesday's 117-107 Game 5 loss against the Nuggets.
ANALYSIS
Gobert has not received the attention many expected him to receive due to Donovan Mitchell's impressive scoring performances, but the Frenchman remains a reliable presence on both ends of the court -- he has delivered three straight double-doubles while scoring 17 or more points in four of five games in the series.
Aug 21, 2020
Posts dominant double-double
Gobert produced 24 points (11-15 FG, 2-5 FT), 14 rebounds and one steal in 32 minutes during Friday's 124-87 Game 3 win over the Nuggets.
ANALYSIS
Gobert took it to Denver's Nikola Jokic on both ends, slowing the Nuggets big man down with his usual stellar defense while also dominating as a finisher in the pick-and-roll offensively. Since the restart, Gobert has scored more than his season average (15.1) in six of nine games. Moreover, he has been absolutely stellar on offense here in the playoffs, averaging 20.0 points through the first three tilts while also connecting on at least 70.0 percent of his field-goal attempts in each of the three matchups thus far.
Aug 19, 2020
Scores 19 in blowout victory
Gobert generated 19 points (7-10 FG, 5-8 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and two blocks in 34 minutes during Wednesday's 124-105 Game 2 win over the Nuggets.
ANALYSIS
Gobert didn't put together as impressive a stat line as Denver's Nikola Jokic but more than held his own on both ends. Gobert has been pleasantly surprising as a scorer ever since the restart while providing his usual defensive contributions. He has committed five fouls in both of the first two games of this playoff series, but so long as Gobert can stay on the floor he's likely to keep posting fairly well-rounded stat lines.
Aug 12, 2020
Out Thursday
Gobert (back) will not play Thursday against the Spurs.
ANALYSIS
The Jazz are listing Gobert on the report with a sore lower back, but he's likely just resting as the Jazz play their final seeding game. Mike Conley (knee) will also be held out of action.
Aug 10, 2020
Limited minutes in loss
Gobert played only 16 minutes in Monday's loss to Dallas.
ANALYSIS
The big man still finished with a respectable nine points (3-5 FG, 3-4 FT), five rebounds, three assists and one block as the Jazz opted to turn things over to their bench for the second half.
Aug 8, 2020
Solid effort in 2OT loss
Gobert recorded 22 points (9-16 FG, 4-8 FT), 13 rebounds, two assists and one block in 41 minutes during Saturday's 134-132 double-OT loss to the Nuggets.
ANALYSIS
Though Gobert struggled from the charity stripe, he was great from the field and grabbed six offensive rebounds, giving Utah extra possessions. The performance was Gobert's 14th of the season with at least 20 points and 10 rebounds.
Aug 8, 2020
Absent from injury report
Gobert (rest) is not listed on Utah's injury report ahead of Saturday's game against the Nuggets, Eric Walden of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
ANALYSIS
Gobert was held out of Friday's game against the Spurs for rest purposes. The Jazz also kept Donovan Mitchell (leg), Mike Conley (knee) and Royce O'Neale (calf) sidelined, so it looks like the were just erring on the side of caution with everyone on the first night of a back-to-back set. Look for the big man to take on his usual role in this contest.
Aug 6, 2020
Out for rest Friday
Gobert will not play Friday against the Spurs for rest purposes.
ANALYSIS
Gobert is getting the day off on the first game of a back-to-back set against the Spurs and Nuggets. With Donovan Mitchell (leg), Mike Conley (knee) and Royce O'Neale (calf) also out, the Jazz will be limited to mostly bench players. In place of Gobert, that could mean plenty of minutes For Tony Bradley and Ed Davis.
Aug 5, 2020
Stuffs box score in win
Gobert recorded 21 points (5-9 FG, 11-12 FT), 16 rebounds, three blocks, two steals and one assist in 36 minutes during Wednesday's 124-115 win over the Grizzlies.
ANALYSIS
Gobert was dominant against the Grizzlies, who are without Jaren Jackson (knee) for the remainder of the year. In the process, Gobert recorded his 13th 20-and-10 game of the season and his 22nd effort with at least three blocks.
Aug 4, 2020
Posts double-double in loss
Gobert went for 16 points (6-6 FG, 4-5 FT), 13 rebounds, two assists and one block in 34 minutes during Monday's 116-108 loss to the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
Gobert has two double-doubles in three games since the restart, although his performance in this game must be highlighted since he had to deal with Anthony Davis on both ends of the floor. Gobert is averaging 13.3 points and 10.7 rebounds per game, while making 76.2 percent of his field goals attempts, since the restart.
Aug 1, 2020
Struggles vs. Steven Adams
Gobert posted 10 points (5-6 FG, 0-2 FT), seven rebounds, two steals and two blocks in 28 minutes during Saturday's 110-94 loss to the Thunder.
ANALYSIS
Gobert was still able to rack up some defensive stats, but he was only able to get off six shots, and he was very much held in check on the glass. The performance marked only the 12th time this season Gobert has been limited to single-digit rebounds.
Jul 31, 2020
Double-double in Thursday's win
Gobert scored 14 points (5-9 FG, 4-5 FT) while adding 12 rebounds and three blocks in 34 minutes during Thursday's 106-104 win over the Pelicans.
ANALYSIS
The Utah backcourt carried the offensive load in the victory, as three different guards scored at least 20 points, but Gobert did his part by cleaning up their misses. He only had two double-doubles in the last nine contests prior to play being suspended, but with playoff seeding on the line for the Jazz, expect him to be at the top of his game.
Jul 27, 2020
Scores 20 efficiently
Gobert generated 20 points (6-8 FG, 8-10 FT), seven rebounds, one assist and one block in 22 minutes during Monday's 112-107 scrimmage win over the Nets.
ANALYSIS
After a subpar showing in the first scrimmage against the Suns, Gobert combined for 41 points in his two most recent outings. Gobert has made it clear he'd like to be a bit more involved offensively, and his teammates seem to be doing their best to appease him. As such, he could be in line for a small boost going forward, at least from a scoring perspective. With that being said, Gobert's free-throw shooting is typically a weakness, so expecting similar results from the charity stripe may be a recipe for disappointment.
Jul 25, 2020
Dominates against Heat
Gobert scored a team-high 21 points (8-9 FG, 5-6 FT) while adding eight rebounds and two blocks in 24 minutes off the bench during Saturday's scrimmage against the Heat.
ANALYSIS
The Jazz ended up winning the scrimmage 101-99, and Gobert's performance against an undermanned Miami frontcourt that was missing Bam Adebayo was a big factor in the result. The 28-year-old center has a lot of fence-mending to do with his teammates and chamistry in the Jazz locker room could be a major story once play resumes, but there's no questioning what a motivated Gobert can do on the court and on the glass.
Apr 14, 2020
Downplays rift with Mitchell
Gobert said Sunday in an Instagram Live conversation with Taylor Rooks of Turner Sports that he spoke with Donovan Mitchell "a few days ago" in an effort to repair the relationship between the two players.
ANALYSIS
Gobert's willingness to reach out to Mitchell may at least temporarily defuse the notion that the relationship between the two Jazz co-stars "doesn't appear salvageable," as one source with knowledge of the situation told Shams Charania, Sam Amick and Tony Jones of The Athletic in a report that was published Friday. While Gobert indicated that he was ready to turn his focus to teaming up with Mitchell and winning a championship, it's less certain if Mitchell is on the same page with the big man. After testing positive for the coronavirus shortly after Gobert did on March 11, Mitchell expressed frustration with the recklessness in which Gobert contacted other players and media in the days leading up to the NBA suspending its season. Both Gobert and Mitchell have since been cleared of the coronavirus and should be ready to go when the NBA allows teams to resume training.
Apr 10, 2020
Remains at odds with Mitchell
According to Shams Charania and Tony Jones of The Athletic, Gobert and Donovan Mitchell remain at odds over Gobert's role in the coronavirus saga.
ANALYSIS
Last month, Gobert became the first player known to test positive for the virus, and he was openly reckless about his contact with other players, as well as the Jazz media in the days leading up to the NBA shutdown. In a video call with Good Morning America on Mar. 16, Mitchell expressed his displeasure with Gobert, and the Jazz are now working to repair the relationship between their two stars. "It doesn't appear salvageable," said one source cited in The Athletic's report, though the organization remains hopeful that, in time, the two will find common ground. Teammate Joe Ingles implied that he believes Gobert and Mitchell will eventually mend their relationship. "I'm confident our team is going to be totally fine," Ingles said. "I heard Donovan's response (on GMA), or whatever it was, to that question, and a part of that is on Donovan and Rudy to sort out if he's frustrated with him or whatever. But I have no doubt when we go back to training, or when our season starts again, our team is going to be what w
Mar 27, 2020
Clear of coronavirus
Gobert, teammate Donovan Mitchell and all Jazz players and personnel were fully cleared of coronavirus by the Utah Department of Health on Friday, Chris Mannix of Sports Illustrated reports.
ANALYSIS
Gobert was the first NBA player to test positive for the respiratory virus March 11, with the news prompting the league to immediately suspend operations indefinitely. The status of the NBA has yet to change, but the 27-year-old is now fully recovered and poses no risk of infection to other individuals.
Mar 16, 2020
Condition improving
Gobert (illness) announced Sunday that he's "feeling a little better every single day" after testing positive last week for the coronavirus. "I wish I could have taken this thing more seriously," Gobert said.
ANALYSIS
Gobert was the first of three known NBA players to have tested positive for the virus, with the news of his illness prompting the league to suspend its season indefinitely. The All-Star center seems to be progressing well and should make a full recovery from the virus, though it's unknown if he'll be ready to play once the NBA resumes action.
Mar 11, 2020
Tests positive for coronavirus
Gobert tested positive for coronavirus Wednesday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
The reasoning behind the postponement for Wednesday's game at Oklahoma City is now perfectly clear, as the teams were pulled off the court shortly before opening tip. Gobert has no official timeline for his return, but a multi-week quarantine period is recommended. The NBA has suspended the season until further notice as a result , per Shams Charania of The Athletic.
Mar 11, 2020
Downgraded to out
Gobert (illness) was ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Thunder, Andy Larsen of KSL.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The Jazz changed Gobert from questionable to out and back to questionable in the hours leading up to the contest, but they eventually ruled him out shortly before tipoff. Tony Bradley will enter the starting five, and Ed Davis could also see increased run Wednesday.
Mar 11, 2020
Upgraded to questionable
Gobert (illness) is considered questionable to play in Wednesday's matchup against the Thunder, Andy Larsen of KSL.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Due to a misunderstanding, Gobert was initially listed as out for Wednesday's contest. Instead, he'll enter warmups as a questionable listing and could play. Look for further information regarding the star center's availability to come out prior to tipoff.
Mar 11, 2020
Out Wednesday vs. Thunder
Gobert (illness) will not play Wednesday against the Thunder, Steve McGehee of News 9 Oklahoma City reports.
ANALYSIS
Gobert popped up on the morning injury report with an illness, and he's feeling too under the weather to participate in Wednesday's action. In his place, Tony Bradley and Ed Davis should pick up most, if not all, of the center minutes.
Mar 11, 2020
Questionable with illness
Gobert is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Thunder due to an illness, Andy Larsen of KSL.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Gobert seemingly woke up feeling sick, and it's possible he misses his first game since late November. If he ends up sidelined, Tony Bradley and Ed Davis would presumably hold down the minutes at center.
Mar 10, 2020
Ejected in disappointing loss
Gobert had just six points (1-4 FG, 4-6 FT), four rebounds, two steals and one block in 32 minutes during Monday's 101-92 loss to the Raptors.
ANALYSIS
Gobert fumbled his way to just six points before being ejected late in Monday's loss. There are unlikely to be any repercussions for Gobert and the ejection simply gave him an excuse to grab an early shower. His performance prior to leaving was arguably one of his worst of the season and those with shares in him simply need to check this one away and move onto the next game against the Thunder on Wednesday.
Mar 7, 2020
Limited involvement in win
Gobert notched nine points (4-4 FG, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds, three blocks and two assists in 33 minutes during Friday's 99-94 win at Boston.
ANALYSIS
Gobert was perfect from the field, but once again he wasn't very involved on offense. This was the third time in his last five games where he couldn't reach the 10-point mark, and he has just one double-double in his last seven games. It's safe to say he's trending in the wrong direction moving forward.
Mar 5, 2020
Chips in 18 points, 14 boards
Gobert registered 18 points (7-8 FG, 4-5 FT), 14 rebounds, two blocks and one assist in 34 minutes during Wednesday's 112-104 win over the Knicks.
ANALYSIS
Gobert snapped a five-game skid of single-digit rebounding and has made 23-of-25 field-goal attempts across the last four tilts. With 21 regular season games left, matching last year's career high in double-doubles (66) is no longer in the cards for Gobert, but his 44 double-doubles this year is still his third best total, plus he has plenty of time to catch his second-best mark of 58 back in 2016-17.
Mar 2, 2020
Swats away five against Cavs
Gobert scored 20 points (8-9 FG, 4-4 FT) while adding nine rebounds, five blocks, two steals and an assist in 34 minutes during Monday's 126-113 win over the Cavaliers.
ANALYSIS
Matched up against a Cleveland roster missing both Andre Drummond (calf) and Tristan Thompson (knee), Gobert faced little resistance at either end of the court, and the only thing holding him back from a bigger night was the effectiveness of Utah's outside shooters. The veteran center has recorded at least one block in 13 straight games, averaging 14.3 points, 11.9 boards, 2.1 blocks and 1.2 assists over that stretch.
Feb 29, 2020
Four blocks, three steals in win
Gobert accumulated nine points (4-4 FG, 1-4 FT), nine rebounds, four blocks and three steals across 35 minutes during Friday's 129-119 victory over the Wizards.
ANALYSIS
Gobert's rebounding downturn continues to be a concern. Friday marked the fourth straight game that he's been in single digits. However, Gobert was great on the defensive end, getting four blocks while also tying his season-high three steals. The performance marked the fifth time in Gobert's career that he's racked up at least four blocks and three steals, with the Jazz posting a 4-1 record in those contests.
Feb 25, 2020
Quiet performance
Gobert had 13 points (3-5 FG, 7-8 FT), eight rebounds, two assists, a steal and a block across 37 minutes in Utah's 131-111 Monday night loss to Phoenix.
ANALYSIS
Gobert torched the Suns for 18 rebounds the last time these teams met, but provided owners no such value Monday, as the Suns stuck to the exterior and shot 60 percent from behind the arc. No player had more than nine rebounds. The silver lining would be that Gobert was quite productive at the free-throw line. He has yet to record single-digit rebounds in three consecutive games this season, but that streak is currently in jeopardy.
Feb 17, 2020
Impressive in All-Star debut
Gobert managed 21 points (10-11 FG, 1-3 FT), 11 rebounds, two assists and one block in 19 minutes during Sunday's 157-155 loss to Team LeBron.
ANALYSIS
Gobert made his long-overdue All-Star debut Sunday, recording a double-double in just 19 minutes. After a somewhat slow start to the season, Gobert has picked things up over the past month. He has the Jazz sitting in the fourth-seed, two wins ahead of the Rockets. Gobert's production is typically consistent from night-to-night and those invested in him should expect to see similar production over the latter part of the season.
Feb 13, 2020
20 rebounds, two swats in win
Gobert recorded 16 points (7-12 FG, 2-2 FT), 20 rebounds, two blocks and one assist across 37 minutes during Wednesday's 116-101 victory over the Heat.
ANALYSIS
Gobert got the best of the matchup against Bam Adebayo, posting a monster double-double and securing a 15-point victory at home. He's one of only seven players this season to record a game with at least 20 rebounds and two blocks. Gobert's 45.5 fantasy points were also his highest mark since Jan. 25 against the Mavericks (56.4) and his 27th time this season crossing the 40-fantasy-point threshold.
Feb 11, 2020
Another doule-double in win
Gobert totaled 17 points (7-7 FG, 3-5 FT), 16 rebounds, one assist and one block in 35 minutes during Monday's win over the Mavericks.
ANALYSIS
Gobert notched his 41st double-double of the season as he continues to anchor the Jazz down low. The Frenchman's as consistent of a fantasy asset as they come. He's averaging a double-double for the fourth consecutive season while being among the most impactful defensive players in the league. On the year, Gobert's averaging 15.6 points, 14.5 rebounds and 1.9 blocks in 34.5 minutes per game.
Feb 9, 2020
Fortieth double-double
Gobert accumulated 12 points (3-6 FG, 6-8 FT), 15 rebounds, a steal and a block during Utah's 114-113 win over the Rockets on Sunday night.
ANALYSIS
Gobert assembled his prototypical line, despite the dramatically undersized Rockets' team. Interestingly, the ever-stout Gobert struggled guarding Russell Westbrook (18-33 FG). Still, Gobert is one of the most stable commodities in fantasy and has a promising matchup against WIllie Cauley-Stein and the Mavericks on Monday.
Feb 8, 2020
Records 16/14 double-double
Gobert compiled 15 points (7-9 FG, 2-6 FT), 14 rebounds, two assists and a blocked shot across 35 minutes in Friday's 117-114 win over the Trail Blazers.
ANALYSIS
Gobert now ranks fourth in the NBA with 39 double-doubles on the season. Gobert logged a stellar stat line but was the subject of a controversial call that could have sent the game into overtime. Damian Lillard launched a three-pointer in the closing seconds that appeared to result in a clear case of goaltending by Gobert, but the officials failed to make the call.
Jan 30, 2020
Ties season-high mark in rebounds
Gobert racked up 17 points (4-7 FG, 9-18 FT) and 19 rebounds in 32 minutes during Wednesday's 127-120 loss at San Antonio.
ANALYSIS
This was the seventh time Gobert has grabbed 19 rebounds this season, and he has notched at least 15 boards in 24 games already. The Frenchman is one of the most productive big man in The Association, as he produces rebounds, defensive stats and field goal percentage at an elite level. He is averaging 17.6 points and 15.5 rebounds and 2.1 blocks while making 69.5 percent of his shots during January.
Jan 28, 2020
Double-double streak at 10 games
Gobert chipped in with 12 points (3-5 FG, 6-10 FT), 14 rebounds, two blocks and one steal in 37 minutes during Monday's 126-117 defeat against the Rockets.
ANALYSIS
Gobert has grabbed double-digit boards in every single game this month and has posted double-double performances in all but two games since the calendar flipped to 2020. As if that wasn't enough he has also blocked multiple shots in eight of his last nine starts, as he remains one of the league's premier inside presences on both ends of the court.
Jan 25, 2020
Perfect from field, adds five swats
Gobert posted 22 points (8-8 FG, 6-9 FT), 17 rebounds, five blocks and two assists in 37 minutes during Saturday's 112-107 win over the Mavericks.
ANALYSIS
With 12 points and 10 boards through his first 17 minutes on the court, Gobert had a double-double by half-time of this game. He's getting the most playing time he's ever seen in his seven-year career, and grabbing a career-high 14.5 rebounds to boot. The 27-year old's exhaustive effort on both ends of the court has helped the Jazz grab the Western Conference's second seed, so Gobert should continue to see all the run he can handle.
Jan 23, 2020
Strong production in win
Gobert supplied 22 points (10-13 FG, 2-7 FT), 15 rebounds, three blocks, two assists and a steal Wednesday night during Utah's 129-96 win over the Warriors.
ANALYSIS
Gobert was lethal in the paint, notching a double-double by halftime -- his fourth first half double-double of the season. He is the league's second-leading rebounder, a top-5 fantasy asset at the center position and likely as high a floor commodity as one can find.
Jan 21, 2020
Another double-double
Gobert had 20 points (8-11 FG, 4-4 FT), 14 rebounds, two assists and one block in 31 minutes during Monday's 118-88 win over the Pacers.
ANALYSIS
Gobert extended his double-double streak to seven games, and he has grabbed at least 12 boards in 11 straight contests. One of the most productive big man in the league, the Frenchman should remain a double-double threat on a nightly basis moving forward. He is set to face the Warriors on the road Wednesday in what looks to be another favorable matchup for the talented center.
Jan 18, 2020
Scores season-high 28 points
Gobert recorded 28 points (9-11 FG, 10-11 FT), 15 rebounds, three blocks and two steals in 34 minutes during Saturday's 123-101 victory over the Kings.
ANALYSIS
Gobert dropped in a season-best 28 points, including an impressive 10-of-11 from the charity stripe. Gobert has been fantastic over the past few weeks after what was a somewhat disappointing start to the season. He is a top-10 player over the last seven games and could be a bit of a sell-high candidate.
Jan 14, 2020
Big double-double in win
Gobert scored 22 points (9-12 FG, 4-6 FT) while adding 18 rebounds, four assists, two blocks and a steal in 37 minutes during Tuesday's 118-107 win over the Nets.
ANALYSIS
The 27-year-old center dominated an overmatched Brooklyn frontcourt en route to his fourth straight double-double and 29th of the season in 38 games. Gobert is now second in the NBA in boards per game (14.5) behind Andre Drummond, while the double-double moves him into a tie for fifth place in that category with Hassan Whiteside and Lebron James.
Jan 12, 2020
Dominant double-double
Gobert generated 21 points (8-10 FG, 5-9 FT), 14 rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal in 38 minutes during Sunday's 127-116 win over the Wizards.
ANALYSIS
Gobert logged his 28th double-double through 37 appearances this season and has now hauled in at least 12 boards in seven straight contests. He's maintaining career-high per-game averages in rebounding and minutes and has scored at least 20 six times in the last 28 games, this after failing to reach 20 once through the first nine games of 2019-20.

Grabs another double-double
Gobert had 15 points (6-10 FG, 3-4 FT), 13 rebounds, five blocks, three assists and one steal in 29 minutes during Friday's 109-92 win over the Hornets.
ANALYSIS
Gobert has grabbed 12 or more rebounds in each of his last six contests, and he has also averaged 2.0 blocks per game during that span. He should be considered as Utah's third-best scoring threat, but his rebounding and defensive skills certainly boost his upside moving forward as he remains one of the most productive big men in the league on a nightly basis.

Crushes hapless Knicks
Gobert finished with 16 points (5-5 FG, 6-10 FT), 16 rebounds, four assists, one steal and one block in 26 minutes during Wednesday's 128-104 victory over the Knicks.
ANALYSIS
Gobert had his way with the Knicks as the Jazz dominated from start to finish. The game was basically over by the major break and many of the starters were able to rest down the stretch. Gobert has been somewhat underwhelming this season despite a number of strong performances. He value is heavily reliant on his shot-blocking ability which does add an element of volatility to his consistency.
