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.

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.

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.

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).

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.

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.

Back with the team after exiting Sunday’s win over the Kings to be present for the birth of his child, Gobert recorded one of his best stat lines of the season. Recording his 11th double-double, Gobert’s 16 rebounds were two shy of his season-high. Add in the percentages and blocked shots, and Wednesday’s stat line was the high end of what fantasy managers hope to get from the “Stifle Tower.”

Gobert exited early against Sacramento due to the birth of his child, but he will be back at practice on Tuesday and available to play against Memphis. He’ll occupy his typical starting spot, which means there won’t be a bonus opportunity for Naz Reid.

Gobert left Sunday’s game for personal reasons early in the second half. Expect to see plenty of Naz Reid as the Timberwolves look to hold on for the victory. Minnesota’s next game is on Wednesday against the Grizzlies.

After being ejected from Monday’s loss to the Suns, Gobert responded with one of his better performances of the season on Friday. In the win, the veteran center crossed the 20-point mark for the second time this season and pulled down double-digit rebounds to claim his 10th double-double. Most notably, Gobert came up big in the fourth quarter by going 6-of-6 from the field with a key basket down the stretch to help the Timberwolves get back in the win column. His numbers are down slightly this season, but he remains a nightly double-double threat.

Gobert was issued a Flagrant 2 foul and ejected for his hard foul on Mark Williams as the Suns’ center attempted a dunk. Gobert played 21 minutes, finishing with 15 points (7-of-9 FGs, 1-of-2 FTs), eight rebounds, one assist and one steal. Naz Reid replaced Gobert and should log heavy minutes the rest of the way, with a little Joan Beringer sprinkled in.

After logging 38 minutes and putting forth a dominant showing in Tuesday’s win over the Pelicans, Gobert only played 24 minutes in Thursday’s rematch. This isn’t the first time that Timberwolves head coach has decided to go small in crunch time, but that’s a concern when discussing Gobert’s fantasy value. He’s providing 11th-round value in eight- and nine-cat formats, well below his Yahoo! ADP (68). Gobert remains a viable option in most leagues, but the playing time is something to keep an eye on moving forward.

After three straight games without a double-double, Gobert was able to produce his eighth of the season. His 26 points were also a season high and the first time he has surpassed 20 points this year. Gobert hasn’t been the fantasy star that he has been in the past, largely because his free throws are worse than usual. However, he had his best game from the charity stripe this season, which led to best performance of the year.

Gobert entered Wednesday’s game having reached double figures in scoring in four of the past five games. He didn’t make it five out of six on Wednesday, but the veteran center did hit double digits in rebounds for the first time since November 10. Due to decreased production in points and rebounds, Gobert’s fantasy value has slipped this season. However, while ranked outside the top-100 in eight-cat formats for the season, he’s been a sixth-round player over the past two weeks.

Gobert delivered a stat sheet-stuffing effort as Minnesota built up a 32-point advantage by the outset of the fourth quarter, which enabled him to sit out the final stanza for some extra rest. He did most of his damage in the third quarter where he poured in a team-high nine points, knocking down four of his five shot attempts during that span. He’s averaging 10.7 points and 9.6 rebounds through 14 games.

Finishing with his fourth double-double of the season, Gobert had one of his best performances of the season on Sunday. Not only did he shoot 90 percent from the field, but the Timberwolves center recorded a season-high five blocked shots. Thus far, Gobert’s fantasy value has been underwhelming, mainly because he’s averaging 9.9 rebounds per game. While that isn’t a “bad” number, he averaged at least 10.9 boards in seven straight and nine of his previous 10 seasons. Being more active on the glass will go a long way toward getting Gobert’s fantasy value back to where many expect it to be.

Gobert didn’t miss a shot from the field on Monday, recording his third double-double of the season. The 15 points were a new season-high for the “Stifle Tower,” whose fantasy value placed him outside the top-100 in nine-cat formats. While Gobert’s fantasy ceiling has lowered, he’s still a valuable option for managers needing a high field-goal percentage, rebounds and blocked shots.

Gobert did most of his damage down the home stretch as he took advantage of Charlotte’s lack of an interior presence outside of rookie center Ryan Kalkbrenner, recording his second double-double of the season. He’s unlikely to add much from a scoring standpoint, but he’s a reliable rebounder and is averaging nearly two blocks per-game this season. The five assists were certainly a nice bonus in this one.

While the rebounding between the two teams overall was about even, the Pacers’ skeleton crew of 10 active players were no match for Gobert on the boards. The 33-year-old center’s 19 rebounds included four offensive rebounds against Indiana’s frontline. Gobert didn’t contribute much else for fantasy purposes besides two blocks, but being a big plus in the rebound category will help absorb the poor free-throw shooting.

Gobert logged 26 minutes on Thursday and flirted with a double-double. The veteran big man was unusually inaccurate from the free-throw line, but his seven field goals helped him conclude as one of three starters to reach double figures in scoring. Gobert collected a few stocks against the Bulls as well, which is unsurprising for a former DPOY. The Timberwolves will have a similar frontcourt rotation this regular season, which should lead to similar production from the decorated center.

Outside of Game 4, Gobert had little impact on the action in the Western Conference Finals. He made his only shot attempt in Game 5 but only played 19 minutes, as Timberwolves coach Chris Finch searched furiously for answers in a game that got away from his team early. While fantasy managers hoped Karl-Anthony Towns’ departure would boost Gobert’s fantasy value, things did not work out that way. Boasting a Yahoo! ADP of 47, he finished outside the top-75 in eight-cat formats and outside the top-60 in nine-cat. Gobert is approaching the point in his career when he should not be a top-50 selection in standard leagues.

Lakers head coach JJ Redick bumped Jaxson Hayes from the starting unit and out of the rotation, which allowed Gobert to control the paint in this game from start to finish. He set new playoff career-highs for both points and rebounds to help Minnesota advance to the next round. Entering this game, Gobert had a total of 14 points and 25 rebounds during this series. Clearly, Game 5 was a huge step in the right direction for him, and he will look to carry this into the conference semifinals, where they will await the winner of the Rockets-Warriors series.

Gobert wasn’t able to provide a true encore to his 35-point performance on Friday, but he was able to turn in another double-double. The final few weeks entering the postseason have been excellent for Gobert; this was his fifth game with at least 15 rebounds in his last 10 appearances. This may not have been Gobert’s most productive regular season, but he’s getting hot at the right time. Minnesota will have a week off before they travel for Game 1 of their first-round matchup.

With Anthony Edwards struggling offensively, the Timberwolves needed others to step up on Friday. Gobert answered the call, recording a season-high point total and his 35th double-double. He’s scored at least 19 points in five of his last seven outings, providing third-round value in nine-cat formats over the past two weeks. Minnesota needs to win Sunday’s game against the Jazz, and they’re unlikely to have Edwards due to technical foul accumulation. That matchup should be excellent for Gobert due to Utah’s lack of interior depth.

Anthony Edwards wasn’t the only Timberwolves scorer taking advantage of frequent mismatches as the 76ers didn’t have an answer for Gobert, either. The veteran center recorded another elite stat line, eclipsing 21 points and 18 rebounds for the second straight games. The “Stifle Tower” also recorded five “stocks.” Over the past two weeks, Gobert has provided top-20 per-game value in eight- and nine-cat formats. Gobert managers whose leagues are not finished are likely happy that he’ll have four games to play during Week 23.

Gobert is averaging just 11 points per game this season but quietly has scored at least 15 points in six consecutive games and at least 19 points in three straight games. The 32-year-old center also pulled down 18 rebounds as he dominated the glass against the Nets Thursday. Gobert has seen an uptick in production and provided third-round fantasy value over the last two weeks.

Gobert was on a mission Sunday night, as the 25 rebounds were the most he’s had in a game this season and three shy of his career-high. The Timberwolves center was also effective as a scorer, shooting 50 percent from the field and 75 percent from the foul line. Over the past two weeks, Gobert has offered third-round value in nine-cat formats, which is excellent production for someone who has been a top 75 player this season. Gobert will face a more challenging test on Tuesday when the Timberwolves visit Denver, the first of three games Minnesota plays during Week 22.

This was the second-straight double-double for Gobert, though it was on pace to be a much bigger night. He had eight points and 13 rebounds in the first half, but he wasn’t able to add much to his rebounding total after the break. This was also the second-straight game that Gobert didn’t record a block, which makes this the first time this season that he went consecutive games without swatting a shot. That isn’t typical for Gobert, and he’ll look to bounce back against the Suns on Friday.

Gobert only took five shots from the field, but he was able to get to the foul line and make 7-of-8 free throw attempts. The 32-year-old center also pulled down 11 rebounds, earned a double-double and had three steals on the defensive end. Gobert still played 30 minutes despite Minnesota running away with a 41-point victory, a sign he’s feeling much better after dealing with a back injury earlier this month.

Gobert and Pacers guard Andrew Nembhard were ejected after getting into an altercation early in the third quarter. After Nembhard inadvertently hit Mike Conley in the face with an elbow, his drive to the basket was interrupted by a Gobert forearm. With the Pacers guard then throwing the ball at Gobert, both players were ejected. Rudy finished with three points, six rebounds, one assist and three blocks in 22 minutes. His exit means even more playing time for Naz Reid.
