Utah Jazz center Rudy Gobert (calf) has been given the green light to get back into action for Monday's contest against the Rockets. Gobert had missed the Jazz's previous nine outings due to a left calf strain, with his return zapping Hassan Whiteside of his DFS and short-term season-long appeal. Entering the night as both the league's leading rebounder (15.1 per game) and shot percentage leader (70.7%), Gobert's return comes in a significantly advantageous spot vs. Houston, who is yielding ...

Utah Jazz center Rudy Gobert (calf) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Houston Rockets. He was able to practice on Sunday, so hopefully he can be activated on Monday. Udoka Azubuike and Hassan Whiteside will split up the playing time, assuming Gobert is unable to play. Whiteside is the better fantasy option between the two. It's unlikely that Azubuike has much of a role in the rotation once Gobert returns. Fantasy managers will have to check back on later on Monday for ...

Utah Jazz center Rudy Gobert (calf) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Orlando Magic. He'll miss his ninth game in a row due to a left calf strain. There's a good chance that fantasy managers won't see Gobert again until after the All-Star break. Until then, Hassan Whiteside should continue drawing starts at center. He has been hot lately and is worth streaming or using as a DFS option for Friday's slate.

Utah Jazz center Rudy Gobert (calf) has been deemed questionable to suit up for Friday's game vs. Orlando as he works his way back from a strained left calf. The league's leading rebounder has missed each of Utah's past eight games, paving the way for Hassan Whiteside to claim elevated DFS appeal and short-term season-long viability. Prior to going down with the injury, Gobert had reeled off a double-double in 18 of his last 19 appearances, shooting a whopping 68.5 percent overall in that ...

Utah Jazz center Rudy Gobert (calf) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the New York Knicks. He has missed each of the last six games, but the Jazz are hopeful to get Gobert back before the All-Star break. In the meantime, Hassan Whiteside should continue to start and have short term streaming appeal. Udoka Azubuike should get more minutes as well, but Whiteside is the better fantasy option.

Utah Jazz center Rudy Gobert (calf) returned to practice on Sunday, albeit in a limited capacity. However, it's still good news, primarily since it appears as if the 29-year-old is nearing a return after being sidelined by a left calf strain. Gobert has missed six games already, but there is a chance he could be back in the mix ahead of the All-Star Break. In the meantime, Hassan Whiteside and Udoka Azubuike should continue to split time in the middle. Whiteside's fantasy ceiling is considerably...

Utah Jazz center Rudy Gobert (calf) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. The good new is, star guard Donovan Mitchell cleared concussion protocol and is available to play. Sadly, Gobert remains sidelined and his backup Hassan Whiteside (back) is listed as questionable. Udoka Azubuike is expected to draw another start at center, assuming Whiteside sits out. He has some deep league value, but it's difficult to trust him outside of that. Rudy Gay (knee) and Eric ...

Utah Jazz guard Donovan Mitchell (concussion) and center Rudy Gobert (calf) were both unable to practice on Tuesday. Mitchell has missed each of the last seven games and doesn't have a return in sight. Joe Ingles (knee) was starting in his place, but suffered a torn ACL, so his season is over. Jared Butler could be asked to step up and play significant minutes with the Jazz shorthanded. He's a possible streaming option right now, but doesn't have a ton of upside. Jordan Clarkson should have...

Utah Jazz point/shooting guard Donovan Mitchell (concussion) and center Rudy Gobert (calf) have been ruled out for Wednesday's contest vs. the Suns. Neither player was available in Monday's loss, with Jordan Clarkson serving as the team's leading scorer and assist man, while Hassan Whiteside paced the club in boards; both figure to remain significant DFS assets for as long as Mitchell and Gobert are sidelined. Mitchell is tied for the sixth-most made triples (3.2) in the league on a nightly ...

Utah Jazz center Rudy Gobert (calf) and point guard Mike Conley (knee, rest) have been ruled out for Monday's game vs. the Suns. Gobert has recently battled an ankle ailment but he will now be sidelined due to a strained left calf. Conley's absence comes as a form of load management after playing 29 minutes Sunday. Without the league's leading rebounder in the mix, Hassan Whiteside is likely to see a significant jump in both time on the floor and usage, making him a hot commodity in the DFS ...
