Gobert supplied 12 points (5-9 FG, 2-3 FT), 13 rebounds, three blocks and two steals across 39 minutes during Utah's 96-91 win over the Thunder in Game 6 of their Western Conference first-round playoff series.
EDGE Analysis
Gobert double-doubled in each of the last five games of the series, but ironically, it was his unlikely work as a perimeter defender in the closing seconds of Game 6 that may have stood out the most Friday. The Stifle Tower found himself isolated with Paul George at the three-point line with 18 seconds remaining and appeared to make contact while trying to defend him, but there was no whistle blown as the ball came up short. Gobert was a force on the glass throughout the six games against the Thunder and heads into the second round with averages of 14.0 points, 11.2 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 2.0 blocks and 1.2 steals across 35.3 minutes.

Gobert tallied 11 points (3-8 FG, 5-6 FT), 10 rebounds, one assist, two blocks and one steal across 30 minutes during Utah's 107-99 loss to the Thunder in Game 5 of their Western Conference first-round playoff series.
EDGE Analysis
He also accrued five fouls, which played a large part in the Thunder being able to mount a memorable comeback from as much as 25 points down in the second half. Gobert still managed to post his fourth consecutive double-double of the series, although his 37.5 percent success rate from the floor was by far his worst of the five games against the Thunder. He'll look to bounce back and help the Jazz close out the series in Game 6 on Friday.

Gobert contributed 16 points (7-11 FG, 2-2 FT), 10 rebounds, one assist, one steal and one block across 34 minutes during Utah's 113-96 win over the Thunder in Game 4 of their Western Conference first-round playoff series.
EDGE Analysis
Gobert continues to win the battle down low against Steven Adams, with Monday representing his third straight double-double in the series. The 25-year-old rim protector also took a series-high 11 shot attempts Monday, helping him to his second-best scoring total of the first four games against the Thunder. Gobert will look to provide a similar caliber of production when the Jazz try to clinch the series in Game 5 on Wednesday.

Gobert delivered 18 points (6-8 FG, 6-8 FT), 12 rebounds, two assists, one steal and one block across 41 minutes during Utah's 115-102 win over the Thunder in Game 3 of their Western Conference first-round playoff series.
EDGE Analysis
The Stifle Tower got the best of Steven Adams once again, posting his second consecutive double-double in the process. Gobert has been a frequent visitor to the charity stripe over that pair of contests as well, having put up 20 free-throw attempts during that stretch. The aggressiveness has been a perfect complement to his strong shooting and rebounding, making Gobert another strong DFS cash or tournament play heading into Monday's Game 4.

Gobert tallied 13 points (3-5 FG, 7-12 FT), 15 rebounds, three assists, three blocks and two steals across 33 minutes during Wednesday's 102-95 win over the Thunder.
EDGE Analysis
Gobert more than doubled his rebound numbers from the series opener and dominated on the defensive end. He rounded out his double-double with a modest offensive showing, reaching double-figures in scoring through pure volume at the foul line. Gobert's presence in the middle will be key for Utah as they look to exploit the opposing frontcourt, and he'll look to put on a similar performance Saturday in Game 3.

Gobert contributed 14 points (6-8 FG, 2-6 FT), seven rebounds, two blocks and one assist across 35 minutes in Sunday's 116-108 loss to the Thunder.
EDGE Analysis
Gobert was underutilized on the offensive end Sunday night, as he was extremely efficient with most of his opportunities coming on putbacks from misses. He will hold up defensively against Steven Adams, but the energy exerted on that side of the floor may limit his productivity on the offensive end.

Gobert tallied 13 points (5-11 FG, 3-4 FT), 13 rebounds, one assist and one block across 32 minutes in a 102-93 loss to the Trail Blazers on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
The Stifle Tower thus finished out the regular season with his 31st double-double of the season, a tally he accomplished over a 56-game period. Gobert managed three of those in six April contests, wrapping up his second consecutive year of improved offensive production in strong fashion. Factoring in Wednesday's finale, Gobert averaged 13.5 points this season, a figure second only to the career-high 14.0 he posted in the 2016-17 campaign.

Gobert totaled 13 points (5-7 FG, 3-4 FT), four rebounds, two assists and two blocks in 28 minutes during Tuesday's 119-79 victory over the Warriors.
EDGE Analysis
Gobert shot the ball well but failed to deliver big numbers in any other category during Tuesday's victory. Owners need not panic as Gobert has been a beast of late. The team travels to Portland to face the Trail Blazers in a matchup to decide the three and four seed, meaning Gobert could be primed for a big performance.

Gobert contributed four points (2-5 FG, 0-2 FT), six rebounds, two assists, two steals and one block across 26 minutes in Sunday's 112-97 win over the Lakers.
EDGE Analysis
Gobert had a surprisingly reduced role in the Jazz's playoff clinching win, but in light of the fact that teammates Derrick Favors, Joe Ingles and Donovan Mitchell combined for 42 shot attempts between them, it wasn't altogether unexpected. The Stifle Tower did fail to haul in double-digit rebounds for the first time since March 23, but he also played his fewest minutes since way back on Dec. 4. Gobert's role as a key source of low-post offense and rim protector is unquestioned, and his efforts will undoubtedly be pivotal to the Jazz's chances of postseason success.

Gobert posted 15 points (6-6 FG, 3-6 FT), 10 rebounds, two assists, three blocked shots and a steal in 28 minutes during Thursday's 117-95 win over the Clippers.
EDGE Analysis
Gobert's totals would have been much higher if he had logged more minutes in this blowout, but the Jazz have little need to overuse their starters in those situations. While the playoffs are essentially a done deal for the Jazz, they do close out the season with a couple of tough games, and Gobert will probably see similar minutes until the season's conclusion. Gobert and the Jazz have two full days off before returning to action Sunday against the Lakers.
