Gobert had 23 points (9-13 FG, 5-7 FT), nine rebounds, four assists, two blocks and two steals across 37 minutes during Wednesday's 116-111 loss to the Rockets.
EDGE Analysis
Gobert's nine boards snapped a 19-game streak of double-digit rebounds, but his 23 points matched a season-high for the elite big man. He last scored 23 points in a massive 23/21 double-double against the Hornets, just one example of Gobert's enormous upside in the right matchup.

Gobert finished Monday's 101-95 loss to Los Angeles with 19 points (6-8 FG, 7-8 FT), 16 rebounds, three blocks and one steal across 37 minutes.
EDGE Analysis
"Gobert" and "double-double" are practically synonymous at this point -- the big man has accomplished the feat in 16 straight contests and in all but six of his games on the campaign. The three-time DPOY is just as consistent as a shot-blocker, racking up multiple swats in three straight contests and in 13 of his past 15 games. There simply isn't a more reliable option than Gobert when it comes to traditional big-man stats.

Gobert contributed 18 points (7-7 FG, 4-7 FT), 19 rebounds, two assists and two blocks over 35 minutes during Sunday's 125-102 victory over the Nuggets.
EDGE Analysis
Gobert hit the ground running, notching up another double-double in his return Sunday. The Jazz have really needed his defensive presence and it showed why in this game. He is once again a front runner to be named the Defensive Player of the Year and as long as the Jazz are pushing hard for a playoff seed, he will be at the forefront of their efforts.

Gobert (conditioning) is officially available Sunday against the Nuggets, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
As expected, Gobert has been cleared following a five-game absence due to a shoulder injury and protocols. Over his past 10 appearances, he's averaged 16.2 points, 16.1 rebounds, 2.6 blocks and 1.2 assists in 33.9 minutes.

Gobert (shoulder/conditioning) said Friday he expects to play in Sunday's contest against the Nuggets, Eric Walden of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gobert missed Utah's Jan. 5 contest due to a shoulder injury and then landed in COVID protocols, so he hasn't appeared in a game since Jan. 3. However, he cleared the NBA's health and safety protocols Friday, and his shoulder appears to be fine, so he will likely be back in the starting lineup Sunday. The Jazz have lost four of their last five games without Gobert, so his presence should be a major boost.

Gobert (shoulder) cleared the NBA's health and safety protocols Friday, Tim MacMahon of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gobert was dealing with a shoulder injury before his placement in COVID-19 protocols, and it remains unclear how that has progressed during his time away from the team. The Jazz don't play again until Sunday, so he will have a couple days to ramp up his conditioning before determining whether or not he can play. Utah has lost four out of their last five contests without Gobert, so they will likely want him back on the floor sooner rather than later.

Gobert (shoulder) entered the league's health and safety protocols Thursday, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gobert has been dominant recently with double-doubles in each of his last 14 appearances. He was forced to miss Wednesday's game against the Nuggets due to a shoulder injury and will now miss more time due to the league's COVID-19 protocols. It's not yet clear whether Gobert has tested positive for the virus, but Hassan Whiteside (concussion), Udoka Azubuike and Eric Paschall should see increased run in his absence.

Gobert (shoulder) won't play in Wednesday's game against the Nuggets.
EDGE Analysis
Gobert came down with a non-COVID related illness on Wednesday that caused him to miss Utah's shootaround, and coupled with the left shoulder inflammation he's been dealing with, he'll be forced to miss Wednesday's matchup with Denver. With Hassan Whiteside (concussion) also sidelined, Eric Paschall and Rudy Gay should see increased run in the Jazz' frontcourt.

Gobert (shoulder) didn't participate in Wednesday's shootaround due to a non-COVID illness, Sarah Todd of The Deseret News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gobert was listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Nuggets due to left shoulder inflammation, and he's also dealing with an illness ahead of the matchup. If he's unable to play, Hassan Whiteside (concussion), Eric Paschall and Rudy Gay could see increased work.

Gobert is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Nuggets due to left shoulder inflammation.
EDGE Analysis
Gobert has appeared in every game this season and is on a streak of 14 straight double-doubles. Hassan Whiteside (concussion) is also questionable, so the Jazz could end up very shorthanded at center.
