Gobert provided 12 points (6-8 FG), 10 rebounds, four assists, four blocked shots and a steal across 37 minutes in Monday's 110-109 win over the Thunder.
EDGE Analysis
Monday's double-double marked a significant milestone for Gobert as he logged his 250th double-double with the Jazz. Their opponent was also a dubious reminder, as it was his positive COVID-19 diagnosis that cut short a game against the Thunder on March 11, leading to a league-wide suspension of play. It's rare for any player to stick with a team for eight years, but the five-year, $205 million contract he signed this month may keep him in Utah until he retires.

Gobert provided 18 points (7-10 FG, 4-6 FT), 17 rebounds, two assists and a blocked shot across 29 minutes in Saturday's 116-111 loss to the Timberwolves.
EDGE Analysis
Gobert notched 17 rebounds for a second consecutive game. He's also 15-of-20 from the floor during that span. The Frenchman has averaged a double-double for four consecutive seasons, and he appears well on his way to replicate that feat.

Gobert scored 20 points (8-10 FG, 4-6 FT) and pulled down 17 rebounds in a win over Portland on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Surprisingly, Gobert did not register a blocked shot in the contest, but he nonetheless made his mark with a game-high 17 boards -- making him the only player on either squad to pull down double-digit rebounds. The big man was also ultra efficient from the field, missing only two of his 10 field-goal attempts. Gobert figures to be a strong source of rebounds and blocks again this season, and his growing offensive game should serve to make him one of fantasy's most reliable centers.

Gobert signed a five-year, $205 million contract with the Jazz on Sunday, which includes a player option for the fifth season, Tim MacMahon of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
It's not quite the $228 million supermax just signed by reigning two-time MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo, but it's still the third-largest contract in NBA history. Gobert is a two-time NBA Defensive Player of the Year and also received All-NBA honors thrice, and he's coming off a 2019-20 campaign in which he averaged 15.1 points, 13.5 rebounds, 2.0 blocks and 1.5 assists over 34.3 minutes in 68 games. Guard Donovan Mitchell also signed his max extension in November, so the Jazz have clearly set the path for the future of the franchise under new team owner Ryan Smith, with up to $400 million committed to the pair.

Gobert had 11 points (2-3 FG, 7-10 FT), 20 rebounds and two assists in Monday's preseason win over the Suns.
EDGE Analysis
It was a monster night for Gobert, who finished as a plus-20 and continually got the best of Deandre Ayton and rookie Jalen Smith, who started for the Suns at power forward. Gobert did not block any shots, but he was dominant on the glass, nearly out-rebounding Phoenix's entire starting five in just 29 minutes.

Gobert totaled 19 points (8-13 FG, 3-4 FT), 18 rebounds and two blocks in 39 minutes during Monday's 80-78 loss to the Nuggets.
EDGE Analysis
Gobert had arguably his best game of the series Monday, hauling in 18 rebounds, 17 of which came in the second half. Despite solid production through the seven games, his performance in the series is likely to be viewed as a sub-par effort on the whole. He averaged only 1.3 blocks per game while attempting double-digits shots in only four of the seven outings.

Gobert notched 11 points (4-9 FG, 3-4 FT), 12 rebounds, two assists and a block in 43 minutes during Tuesday's 117-107 Game 5 loss against the Nuggets.
EDGE Analysis
Gobert has not received the attention many expected him to receive due to Donovan Mitchell's impressive scoring performances, but the Frenchman remains a reliable presence on both ends of the court. He has delivered three straight double-doubles while scoring 17 or more points in four of five games in the series.

Gobert produced 24 points (11-15 FG, 2-5 FT), 14 rebounds and one steal in 32 minutes during Friday's 124-87 Game 3 win over the Nuggets.
EDGE Analysis
Gobert took it to Denver's Nikola Jokic on both ends, slowing the Nuggets big man down with his usual stellar defense while also dominating as a finisher in the pick-and-roll offensively. Since the restart, Gobert has scored more than his season average (15.1) in six of nine games. Moreover, he has been absolutely stellar on offense here in the playoffs, averaging 20.0 points through the first three tilts while also connecting on at least 70.0 percent of his field-goal attempts in each of the three matchups thus far.

Gobert generated 19 points (7-10 FG, 5-8 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and two blocks in 34 minutes during Wednesday's 124-105 Game 2 win over the Nuggets.
EDGE Analysis
Gobert didn't put together as impressive a stat line as Denver's Nikola Jokic but more than held his own on both ends. Gobert has been pleasantly surprising as a scorer ever since the restart while providing his usual defensive contributions. He has committed five fouls in both of the first two games of this playoff series, but so long as Gobert can stay on the floor he's likely to keep posting fairly well-rounded stat lines.
