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.
EDGE 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 is 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, his fantasy managers will be hoping that some changes are made after this, specifically around putting him in a position to score the basketball.

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.
EDGE 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). With Towns still weeks away from his return, Gobert should continue his productive run.

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.
EDGE 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 is having a subpar season by to his standards, but Gobert remains a must-roster player who has now posted three straight double-doubles to begin the year.

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.
EDGE 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.

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.
EDGE 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.

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.
EDGE 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.

Gobert (illness) will take the floor Saturday against Detroit.
EDGE 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.

Gobert (illness) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Pistons.
EDGE 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.

Gobert (illness) is out for Friday's game at Milwaukee.
EDGE 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.

Gobert is questionable to play in Friday's game versus the Bucks due to an illness.
EDGE 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.
