Gobert finished with 14 points (4-6 FG, 6-6 FT), 11 rebounds, one assist and one steal across 30 minutes during Wednesday's 125-97 loss to Boston.
EDGE Analysis
Gobert continues to shine as one of the best two-way big men in the league, and right now it's more surprising when he doesn't end up with a double-double -- something that had happened in each of his previous two appearances. The Frenchman has five double-doubles over his last seven games, though.

Gobert logged 19 points (8-11 FG, 3-3 FT), 16 rebounds, two assists and two blocks in 27 minutes during Friday's 121-92 win over the Clippers.
EDGE Analysis
Gobert led Utah starters with 19 points in a game the Jazz played without Donovan Mitchell (calf), and he was unsurprisingly the team's top rebounder. The All-Star big man added two blocks, marking the 35th time this season he has swatted multiple shots in a contest. Gobert has racked up four straight double-doubles and is tied for second in the league in that category with 45 on the season.

Gobert notched 14 points (5-8 FG, 4-6 FT), 20 rebounds, two assists, four blocks and one steal in 33 minutes during Wednesday's 125-110 victory over the Bulls.
EDGE Analysis
Gobert's scoring numbers were not eye-popping, but he certainly made an impact on the glass and on the defensive end, as he was the main reason why Nikola Vucevic had a down game. This was Gobert's seventh game with at least 20 rebounds this season, and it was also his 13th game with four or more blocks.

Gobert (foot) racked up 18 points (6-8 FG, 6-8 FT), 14 rebounds and one steal in 32 minutes during Monday's 117-111 loss to the Bucks.
EDGE Analysis
Gobert missed Utah's previous game with a foot injury, but he was able to log 32 minutes Monday. The All-Star center somewhat surprisingly didn't block any shots, but he was otherwise up to his usual production, grabbing double-digit boards for the 10th straight contest. Gobert leads the NBA with 14.7 rebounds per game on the season and is shooting a league-best 71.3 percent from the field while averaging 15.5 points and 2.2 blocks.

Gobert (foot) is available for Monday's game against Milwaukee.
EDGE Analysis
Gobert stated earlier in the day that he intended on playing, and he's now officially gained clearance after missing one game with a foot injury. The big man has been a force down low of late, tallying a double-double in six of his last seven games while averaging 2.0 blocks over that stretch.

Gobert (foot) said after the team's morning shootaround that he's planning on playing in Monday's game against the Bucks, Eric Walden of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gobert is officially listed as questionable, but there continues to be optimism that he'll be available Monday after being a late scratch ahead of Saturday's win over the Kings. Over his last eight appearances, the big man has averaged 14.1 points, 14.4 rebounds and 2.1 blocks in 31.0 minutes per game.

Gobert (foot) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Bucks.
EDGE Analysis
As expected, the big man remains on the injury report, but there's optimism, per ESPN's Tim MacMahon, that Gobert will not miss any additional time beyond Saturday night's game against the Kings. Look for Gobert to test out the foot during shootaround before the Jazz issue an update.

Per Tim MacMahon of ESPN.com, there's optimism that Gobert will not miss any more time due to the left foot strain that caused him to be a late scratch Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
This would obviously be great news for Gobert's fantasy managers, but he's still not out of the woods yet. There likely won't be an official word from the Jazz until they release their initial injury report for Monday's matchup against the Bucks.

Gobert will miss Saturday's game against Sacramento with a left foot metatarsal Phalangeal joint sprain, Eric Walden of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
This is the first we've heard of Gobert suffering a foot injury, and it's unclear at this time how long it will keep the big man sidelined. It would obviously be a big blow to Gobert's fantasy managers if he's forced to miss additional time with the fantasy playoffs fast approaching. The All-Star center leads the league with 14.7 rebounds and ranks second with 2.2 blocks per game on the season.

Gobert finished with 13 points (2-3 FG, 9-10 FT), 16 rebounds, five blocks and one assist in 32 minutes Friday in the Jazz's 104-102 loss to the Spurs.
EDGE Analysis
The five rejections were Gobert's most since Dec. 18 and one off a new season high. While fantasy managers have to expect sterling blocks production from Gobert, the stellar free-throw shooting Friday was a more pleasant surprise. Gobert is converting at a substandard 68.9 percent rate for the season, but that still represents an improvement of more than six percentage points from his 2020-21 mark.
