Gobert amassed 20 points (9-10 FG, 2-4 FT), 19 rebounds and two assists in 35 minutes during Saturday's 123-116 loss to Golden State.
EDGE Analysis
Gobert was one of four Jazz players to score exactly 20 points, and he was by far the most efficient of the group, missing only one of his 10 field-goal tries. The big man added 19 boards for his 13th straight double-double. His streak of games with at least one block did end at 22 contests, but that's not a major letdown considering that the Warriors have their shots blocked at a lower rate than any other team in the league. Gobert should bounce back in the swat department while continuing to offer valuable contributions as a rebounder and an efficient scorer in what has been a standout season so far.

Gobert finished with 22 points (8-10 FG, 6-12 FT), 14 rebounds and two blocks in 29 minutes during Wednesday's 120-105 victory over the Trail Blazers.
EDGE Analysis
The Jazz didn't have Donovan Mitchell (back) for the contest, and it was Gobert who stepped up offensively to lead the team in scoring against Portland. The big man made only half of his 12 free-throw tries, but he was an efficient 8-for-10 from the field. Gobert also posted his usual gaudy rebound total, bringing down 14 boards to pace both squads. For good measure, he chipped in two blocks, marking the seventh time in his past eight games that he has contributed multiple swats. Gobert is enjoying arguably his finest season to date, with his consistent output amounting to top-20 production in nine-category fantasy leagues.

Gobert accumulated 20 points (8-14 FG, 4-9 FT), 17 rebounds, two assists, four blocks and one steal in 35 minutes during Thursday's 128-116 victory over the Timberwolves.
EDGE Analysis
In a game that otherwise lacked defense, Gobert was a force down low with four blocked shots. He also dominated on the boards and posted his second straight effort of 20-plus points. Gobert has now double-doubled in eight straight contests, and he has swatted at least one shot in 18 consecutive games. His name isn't buzzing as an MVP candidate, but perhaps it should be -- the big man is posting per-game averages of 15.5 points (on 71.4 percent shooting), 15.1 boards and 2.3 blocks on the campaign for a Jazz team that sits in third place in the Western Conference with a 22-9 record.

Gobert produced 23 points (4-10 FG, 15-16 FT), 21 rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 36 minutes during Monday's 112-102 win over the Hornets.
EDGE Analysis
Gobert had a field day under the basket against one of the worst rebounding teams in the league. His 21 boards contributed to a 68-51 rebounding advantage over the Hornets. The All-Star defender has now notched 21 boards three times this season.

Gobert had 11 points (4-4 FG, 3-6 FT), 19 rebounds, one assist and six blocks over 38 minutes during Saturday's 109-103 loss to the Wizards.
EDGE Analysis
Gobert's scoring output was his lowest in six games, but his work as a rebounder and shot-blocker more than made up for the moderate point total. The big man's six swats were a season high, and he finished just one board shy of notching his sixth performance with 20-plus boards on the campaign. Gobert continues to serve as the league leader in rebounds and ranks second in blocks on the season.

Gobert logged 20 points (8-10 FG, 4-7 FT), 17 rebounds, three assists and two blocks over 27 minutes during Wednesday's 124-103 victory over the Clippers.
EDGE Analysis
Gobert's crashing of the boards is nothing new -- he has registered a double-digit rebound total in all but two of his 27 contests this season and leads the NBA with 14.7 boards per game. The big man has also blocked at least one shot in 14 straight contests and ranks third in the league with 2.1 swats per game. Finally, Gobert has been increasing his offensive role of late, taking double-digit shot attempts in three straight contests for the first time this season. His 73.8 percent field-goal rate leads the Association, and Gobert's current scoring average of 15.3 points per game is on pace for the second-highest mark of his career.

Gobert had 20 points (8-9 FG, 2-2 FT), 11 rebounds and a block in Saturday's 123-98 win over the Wizards on Saturday night.
EDGE Analysis
Gobert has now posted a double-double in consecutive games and four of his last five during the Jazz's six-game winning streak. Entering Saturday, Gobert was averaging 14.7 rebounds per game, which would be a career-high for him by more than a board per game. He has also been incredibly efficient with his shots, as he's currently shooting a career-best 73.4 percent from the floor. The 29-year-old is on pace for one of the best seasons of his career and is providing top-20 fantasy value in nine-category formats.

Gobert posted 17 points (6-11 FG, 5-8 FT), 21 rebounds, one assist and two blocks across 29 minutes during Thursday's 118-96 victory over the 76ers.
EDGE Analysis
Perhaps field by Patrick Beverley's comments regarding the three-time Defensive Player of the Year, Gobert was dominant Thursday. His 21 rebounds (six offensive) matched a season high. Gobert logged a plus-minus of +17, and he has been the league's best defender in plus-minus and on/off metrics this season. Gobert will be a top DFS play and a boom candidate Saturday against the Wizards.

Gobert finished with six points (3-6 FG), 20 rebounds, three assists, five blocks and one steal across 38 minutes during Sunday's 109-108 win over the Cavaliers.
EDGE Analysis
Gobert has failed to collect at least 10 rebounds only twice this season, and he's eclipsed the 20-rebound mark four times. His scoring production was stifled a bit due to solid defense from Jarrett Allen and Evan Mobley, but Gobeett made the Cavs pay on defense with 15 defensive rebounds and five blocked shots.

Gobert closed Monday's 129-107 win over Portland with 21 points (9-11 FG, 3-4 FT), 16 rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal over 32 minutes.
EDGE Analysis
For most of the season, "Gobert" and "double-double" have been synonymous -- through his first 18 games, he had failed to accomplish the feat only twice. However, the big man entered Monday in a bit of a scoring slump, having totaled only 15 combined points on a meager seven field-goal tries over his previous two contests. Gobert was much more productive offensively against Portland, notching his fifth effort of 20-plus points on the campaign. In addition, he grabbed 16 boards and extended his streak of games with at least one blocked shot to eight.
