Rudy Gobert (rest) is out for Friday’s game against the Rockets.

Gobert will miss a second consecutive game as he rests up for the playoffs. The Timberwolves are locked into the No. 6 seed in the West, so the regulars are likely to get time to rest in the team’s final two games. Naz Reid will get another start, which raises his ceiling for those in active fantasy leagues.

Rudy Gobert (rest) and Julius Randle (hand) are out for Wednesday’s matchup with the Magic.

With both of Minnesota’s big men sitting this one out, Naz Reid should be in line for a featured role against Orlando. Kyle Anderson and Joan Beringer should see additional run, too.

Rudy Gobert accounted for 14 points (6-of-9 FGs, 2-of-4 FTs), 12 rebounds and one block in Saturday’s loss to the Pistons.

Gobert’s streak of games with at least 10 rebounds reached six on Saturday, with the veteran center recording four double-doubles during this stretch. Since the All-Star break, the 7-footer has provided fifth-round value in eight-cat formats. While Gobert’s start to the season was a bit underwhelming, his finish may help some fantasy managers win their leagues. The Timberwolves play four games in Week 23, starting with Dallas on Monday.

Rudy Gobert amassed 14 points (7-of-13 FGs), 14 rebounds, one assist, one steal and five blocks in the win over the Rockets on Wednesday.

Gobert was impressive on Wednesday in his 28 minutes. He was incredibly impactful on the defensive end, posting a handful of blocked shots, and finished well on the offensive end when given opportunities. The four-time Defensive Player of the Year’s night was cut short after fouling out of the contest late in the fourth quarter. Still, he concluded with his third double-double over his past three appearances and is trending in the right direction during the fantasy basketball playoffs.

Rudy Gobert accumulated 18 points (7-of-14 FGs, 4-of-6 FTs), 15 rebounds, one assist, two steals and one blocked shot in Friday’s loss to the Trail Blazers.

Gobert has recorded a double-double in back-to-back games for the first time in nearly a month, good news for those rostering the 7-foot-1 center. While Anthony Edwards’ absence did not result in a significant increase in shot attempts for Gobert on Tuesday against the Suns, he’s put up a total of 26 shots in the last two. And given where most of his shots are taken, that’s an excellent development for Gobert and fantasy managers.

Julius Randle accounted for 21 points (9-of-12 FGs, 3-of-4 FTs), 12 rebounds, one steal and two blocks in Wednesday’s win over the Jazz.

While Gobert’s offensive production did not receive much of a boost in the first game the Timberwolves played after losing Anthony Edwards (knee), but he did grab 19 rebounds. In the second game on Wednesday, he provided excellent value as a scorer and rebounder against the lottery-bound Jazz. The Timberwolves have two more games in Week 21, starting with the Trail Blazers on Friday.

Rudy Gobert controlled the paint on Tuesday and contributed nine points (4-of-7 FGs, 1-of-3 FTs), 19 rebounds, one assist and four blocks against the Suns.

Gobert didn’t do much scoring, but he matched his season high for rebounds and had a solid game as a shot blocker. This came two days after he was held to two points and seven rebounds against the Thunder, so this was a strong response. Gobert can’t be relied on for much outside of rebounds, blocks and field goal percentage at this point of his career, and it hasn’t come consistently, but he is still capable of dominating down low.

Rudy Gobert posted 18 points (5-of-5 FGs, 8-of-10 FTs), nine rebounds, two assists, one steal and one blocked shot in Friday’s win over the Warriors.

Gobert’s five shot attempts on Friday equaled his total in Minnesota’s prior two games. The difference against the Warriors was that he was able to get to the foul line and convert at a good clip. Gobert shot 8-of-10 from the charity stripe, part of his highest-scoring night since scoring 18 in a March 5 win over the Raptors. There are times when Minnesota can be more intentional in getting Gobert involved offensively, but that did not appear to be an issue on Friday. Minnesota visits the Thunder on Sunday to end its Week 20.

Rudy Gobert recorded 12 points (6-of-6 FGs, 0-of-3 FTs), eight rebounds, two steals and one block in Saturday’s loss to the Magic.

Given his general shot profile, Gobert not missing in a game isn’t all that surprising. He made all six of his attempts against the Magic while providing solid value in the rebound and assist categories, playing 33 minutes. Since the All-Star break, Gobert has been close to a top-50 player in nine-cat formats, according to Basketball Monster. The Timberwolves play four games in Week 20, starting with the Lakers on Tuesday and the Clippers the following night.

Rudy Gobert finished Thursday’s win over the Raptors with 18 points (7-of-8 FGs, 4-of-6 FTs), 12 rebounds, five assists, one steal and three blocks.

One game removed from grabbing a season-high 19 rebounds, Gobert was active in all facets on Thursday. The 18 points were three more than his total in Minnesota’s prior three games, and he’s hit double figures in rebounds in all six games that he’s played since the All-Star break. Also, Gobert matched his season-high with five assists. The offensive production can be a struggle at times, as the 7-foot-1 center can become an afterthought on that end of the floor. However, that doesn’t prevent Gobert from offering a solid return in other areas.

Rudy Gobert recorded a double-double on Tuesday with 10 points (4-of-5 FGs), 19 rebounds, four assists, one steal and two blocks against the Trail Blazers.

Gobert was back after serving a one-game suspension on Sunday, and he picked up right where he left off. He had 22 points and 17 rebounds in his previous game, and while he didn’t do as much scoring, he was able to set a new season high for rebounds. Gobert isn’t the same player that he used to be, but he’s still capable of making a big impact for fantasy managers, just like he did in this game.

Rudy Gobert has been suspended one game for accruing his seventh flagrant foul.

Rudy Gobert has been suspended one game for accruing his seventh flagrant foul point.

Gobert was assessed a Flagrant 1 foul for an “unnecessary flail” during Friday’s win over the Mavericks. The NBA announced Saturday that the foul was upheld and thus Gobert has been suspended one game without pay for accruing his seventh flagrant foul point of the regular season. The 33-year-old center will serve his suspension Sunday against the 76ers. Naz Reid or Joan Beringer could move into the starting lineup in Gobert’s absence. While Reid has fantasy value either way, Beringer is only relevant if he’s starting.

Rudy Gobert recorded 22 points (9-of-11 FGs, 4-of-8 FTs), 17 rebounds, one assist, one steal and three blocks in Friday’s win over the Mavericks.

Gobert had one of his best games of the season on Friday, but he may not be available for Minnesota’s next game. The 7-foot-1 center was assessed a Flagrant 1 foul for an “unnecessary flail” during Friday’s victory. If the league office doesn’t rescind the call, Gobert will be suspended for Sunday’s game against the 76ers. Naz Reid or Joan Beringer, with the latter playing four minutes on Friday, would be the replacement in the starting lineup. While Reid offers solid fantasy value whether he starts or comes off the bench, Beringer needs to start to be of value to fantasy managers.

Rudy Gobert recorded 12 points (5-of-12 FGs, 2-of-4 FTs), 16 rebounds, two assists, three steals and two blocks in Friday’s loss to the Pelicans.

Gobert has hit double figures in rebounds in five consecutive games, with Friday’s effort being accompanied by five “stocks.” Even with the rebounds and defensive production, the 7-foot-1 center continues to hover just inside the top-100 in nine-cat formats. However, for those willing to punt free-throw percentage, Gobert has been among the best post players to have rostered in that particular build.

Rudy Gobert finished Saturday’s win over the Grizzlies with nine points (4-of-8 FGs, 1-of-4 FTs), 16 rebounds, two steals and two blocked shots.

Rebounds and defensive stats are the areas where Gobert can be most valuable to fantasy managers, and that’s how things played out on Saturday. He’s hit double digits in rebounds and blocked at least two shots in three of his last four outings. For those willing to punt free-throw percentage, Gobert has been a top-25 fantasy player this season. The Timberwolves play four games in Week 16.

Rudy Gobert (ankle) is available to play against the Thunder on Thursday.

Gobert was initially listed as questionable for this game, but he will be good to go against OKC. He was held to just six points and six rebounds in 21 minutes in the Timberwolves’ last game, but he had 14 rebounds in 32 minutes against the Thunder earlier this season.

Rudy Gobert is listed as questionable for Thursday’s game against the Thunder with a left ankle sprain.

Gobert played 21 minutes against the Mavericks on Wednesday, and the team may have been monitoring his soreness with that smaller amount of court time. If the team opts to hold him out for the second game of a back-to-back, Naz Reid would likely step into a much larger role, albeit in a tough matchup against the Thunder.

Rudy Gobert notched 15 points (5-of-8 FGs, 5-of-7 FTs), 17 rebounds, two assists, one steal and two blocks in Monday’s win over the Warriors.

Several players made big contributions for the Timberwolves in their blowout victory over the Warriors. Even in the one-sided affair, Gobert logged 35 minutes, allowing him the time necessary to dominate the glass and the interior before finishing with a monster double-double, his eighth of January. Gobert has enjoyed another strong season and should continue to produce good numbers the rest of the way, barring any unforeseen circumstances.

Rudy Gobert (hip) is not on the injury report against the Jazz on Tuesday.

Gobert missed Saturday’s game, but he’ll return to take on his former team. Naz Reid will head back to the bench, though he is questionable with a shoulder issue. His status will determine if Joan Beringer is part of the rotation or not.

Rudy Gobert (hip) is out for Saturday’s game against the Spurs.

Gobert will sit out Saturday’s game, which is the second in as many nights for the Timberwolves. Naz Reid is the likely replacement in the starting lineup, but there will also be more minutes available to rookie Joan Beringer.

Rudy Gobert (hip) is questionable to play against the Spurs on Saturday.

Gobert could end up sidelined on the second night of a back-to-back. Naz Reid would likely fill his spot in the starting lineup after scoring 25 points on Friday. Joan Beringer would also see a bump in minutes down low off the bench.

Rudy Gobert recorded a double-double on Friday with 10 points (4-of-7 FGs, 2-of-10 FTs), 13 rebounds, one assist, two steals and two blocks against the Rockets.

Gobert added another double-double to his season total and was able to make a big impact on the defensive end. However, it was an abysmal night for him from the free throw line. Both teams struggled in that department; Minnesota shot 20-of-35 on free throws, while Houston shot 20-of-34. The struggles seemed to be contagious, but nobody got hit harder than Gobert. Still, managers aren’t relying on Gobert for help in that category, and he was able to contribute in enough other areas to make up for it.

Rudy Gobert finished Sunday’s win over the Spurs with two points (1-of-4 FGs, 0-of-2 FTs), 14 rebounds, three assists, one steal and one blocked shot.

Gobert picked up his sixth flagrant foul point of the season in the third quarter of Sunday’s game when Victor Wembanyama landed on his foot after a three-point attempt due to the Timberwolves’ center’s closeout. Gobert’s rebounding production was solid, but that was the lone positive. He’ll be suspended for Tuesday’s game in Milwaukee due to the flagrant foul points, and Gobert’s likely to be fined for bumping into an official after the flagrant foul.

Rudy Gobert recorded 13 points (5-of-6 FGs, 3-of-3 FTs), 17 rebounds, one assist and two blocks over 32 minutes in Tuesday’s one-sided win over the Heat.

Gobert notched his 15th double-double of the season and came within one board of matching his previous season-high mark. The 33-year-old veteran center has been a modest disappointment roughly midway through the year but he’s been a rebounding machine over the past two weeks, averaging 12 boards per-game during that seven-game span, while also chipping in 10.6 points and 2.4 blocks.

Rudy Gobert amassed 18 points (8-of-10 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), 14 rebounds and four blocked shots in Sunday’s win over the Wizards.

After a slow start to the season, Gobert has kicked things up a few notches in recent weeks. And that’s thanks mainly to increased production in the rebound, steal and blocked shot categories. Over the past two weeks, Gobert has averaged 11.9 rebounds, 1.0 steals and 2.6 blocks per appearance, providing top-40 per-game value in eight-cat formats. While his season-long fantasy value remains low, there’s light at the end of the tunnel for those who have Gobert rostered.

Rudy Gobert finished with nine points (4-of-7 FGs), 12 rebounds and six blocks against the Nuggets on Thursday.

Though Gobert finished one point shy of a double-double, he was still able to have a productive fantasy night in what has been a strong season for him. Of course, Nikola Jokic’s monster night will take away from what Gobert did, but it was solid for fantasy managers before he fouled out in overtime. The former Defensive Player of the Year recorded double-digit rebounds for a seventh straight game and set a new season high for blocks.

Rudy Gobert amassed 11 points (4-of-6 FGs, 3-of-4 FTs), 16 rebounds, two assists, two steals and three blocked shots in Tuesday’s win over the Knicks.

Gobert continued his dominance on the glass, extending his streak of games with at least 12 rebounds to six. Add in the defensive stats and percentages, and this was an excellent night for the veteran center. Over the last two weeks, Gobert has been close to a top-50 player in eight- and nine-cat formats. Continuing on that path would go a long way toward ensuring that Gobert’s season-long fantasy value aligns with his Yahoo! ADP (68).

Rudy Gobert tallied 11 points (5-of-7 FGs, 1-of-4 FTs), 18 rebounds, three assists, one steal and one blocked shot in Sunday’s win over the Bucks.

Goebrt has been a beast on the glass recently, grabbing at least 12 rebounds in five straight games. Sunday’s tally of 18 was the most in a game for the veteran center since October 26, when Gobert reached that number in a win over the Pacers. For managers either punting free-throw percentage or willing to take a hit in that category, Gobert has been a third-round player over the last two weeks.

Rudy Gobert recorded nine points (3-of-7 FGs, 3-of-7 FTs), 15 rebounds and one assist in Friday’s win over the Thunder.

Gobert has not always been part of the closing lineup this season, but his rebounding production has been consistent. He’s reached double digits in that category in four straight games, a stretch that includes two double-doubles. Gobert’s overall fantasy value has been disappointing this season, but he has been close to a top-50 player in models that punt free-throw percentage. Minnesota ends Week 9 on Sunday against the Bucks.
