Rudy Gobert Dominates The Glass Against Heat
5 years agoUtah Jazz center Rudy Gobert put forth a dominant effort in a 116-101 victory over the Miami Heat on Wednesday. Gobert notched his fifth straight double-double, with 16 points, 20 rebounds, two blocks, and an assist in 37 minutes. The big man has thrived in two games against Miami this year, with averages of 17 points, 19.5 rebounds, and 3.5 blocks on 69.5 percent shooting from the field. At this point, fantasy owners are likely pleased with what they're getting from Gobert, with the only complaint likely centered around his lowest total of blocks per game since his rookie campaign. Despite this, he still sits fifth in the league in swats. He should continue to be a great asset at the center spot as he prepares for his first All-Star Game.

Rudy Gobert Uncertain For Wednesday
4 weeks agoMinnesota Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert (back) is listed as questionable ahead of Wednesday's game against the Denver Nuggets. Gobert made his return to the court on Sunday after missing the previous 10 games due to a lower back injury. He registered 16 points, eight rebounds, and two assists across 20 minutes of action during that game. The Wolves are likely going to ease him back into his normal role. If he sits on Wednesday, Naz Reid and Luka Garza would likely see increased roles in the rotation. Reid has been a strong fantasy option all season long, but would have increased value if Gobert is unable to play.

Rudy Gobert To Play On Sunday
4 weeks agoMinnesota Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert (back) is returning to the court ahead of Sunday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. Gobert has missed the last 10 games due to a lingering back issue. That being said, it's uncertain if the Wolves plan to limit Gobert during his first game back. His return will shift Naz Reid back to the bench on Sunday. However, Reid might still see decent playing time with Gobert likely facing some restrictions. Fantasy managers in season-long formats can go ahead and get Gobert active in their lineups ahead of tip-off.

Rudy Gobert A Game-Time Decision On Sunday
4 weeks agoAccording to Minnesota Timberwolves head coach Chris Finch, center Rudy Gobert (back) is a game-time decision regarding his availability for Sunday's meeting with the Spurs. The multi-time NBA Defensive Player of the Year is currently carrying a questionable tag after missing the last 10 games because of a back injury. Naz Reid has been handling things in the middle. But even if Gobert is cleared to suit up, he hasn't played in nearly a month, meaning he may be limited. With that in mind, fantasy managers can consider keeping Gobert on the bench even if he's available.
