Gobert tsllied 16 points (6-10 FG, 4-7 FT), 12 rebounds, three steals, three blocked shots and two assists in 36 minutes during Saturday's 98-91 win over the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
With Willie Cauley-Stein sidelined, Gobert had a fairly easy time with Kosta Koufos under center on the way to his third double-double since the All-Star break. He's also been effective defensively, averaging three blocked shots over the last three games. Gobert will look to keep things rolling against the Magic on Monday.

Gobert finished with 26 points (7-9 FG, 12-14 FT), 16 rebounds, four blocks, one assist, and one steal in 35 minutes during Friday's 116-108 victory over the Timberwolves.
EDGE Analysis
Gobert had arguably his best game of the season as the Jazz held on for a crucial victory. Karl-Anthony Towns was questionably ejected in the second quarter, leaving Gobert to dominate what was left of the Timberwolves frontcourt. He also got to the charity stripe 14 times, converting on a season-high 12 of those. Perhaps this kind of game can get him going on the offensive end, something that would round out his value nicely heading into the fantasy playoffs.

Gobert produced 17 points (7-8 FG, 3-5 FT), six rebounds, two blocks, one assist, and one steal in 36 minutes during Monday's 96-85 loss to the Rockets.
EDGE Analysis
Gobert finished with his lowest rebound total since late January as the Jazz fell to Houston. He has been rounding into form lately, having now scored in double-figures in 10 of his last 11 games. His rebound and block numbers have also been trending in the right direction and owners have to be happy he is starting to produce at a higher level. The only bugaboo on his recent form is the lack of scoring. With Gordon Hayward leaving in the off-season, there had been hopes he would be able to find more shots on a nightly basis. This has not been the case, however, currently averaging just 12.6 points per game as opposed to his 14 per game last season.

Gobert went for 13 points (5-6 FG, 3-6 FT), 10 rebounds and one assist across 35 minutes in Saturday's 97-90 win over the Mavericks.
EDGE Analysis
The big man had fallen just a rebound short of a double-double in Friday's loss, but he accomplished the feat Saturday for the fifth time in the last six games. Gobert has frequently made excellent use of his single-digit shot attempts lately, as he's posted a 62.5 percent or better success rate from the field in six of 10 February contests. Given his dominant presence on the boards and as a rim protector, he remains a top-15 center option across the majority of formats.

Gobert posted 15 points (6-9 FG, 3-4 FT), nine rebounds, three assists, two steals and four blocked shots in 34 minutes during Friday's 100-81 loss to the Jazz.
EDGE Analysis
Considering the blowout loss, Gobert actually posted a decent fantasy total thanks to four blocked shots and a couple of steals. He was generally outplayed by Jusuf Nurkic under the basket in this matchup, though. If the backcourt suffers like it did on Friday Gobert's scoring inevitably goes down if he can't convert any assists for them, and they were in short supply, with the team dropping only 15 dimes on the night.

Gobert managed 14 points (5-8 FG, 4-4 FT), 17 rebounds and one assist across 37 minutes in Wednesday's 107-97 win over the Suns.
EDGE Analysis
The Stifle Tower hauled in a game- and season-high number of rebounds while helping the Jazz secure their 11th consecutive victory. Gobert is thriving in February, as he's now averaging 13.0 points, 11.5 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 2.1 blocks across 33.8 minutes in eight contests during the month while churning out six double-doubles. With his knee apparently at full health, he projects as a pivotal figure in the Jazz's postseason push for the balance of the campaign.

Gobert scored 10 points (4-9 FG, 0-0 3Pt, 2-5 FT), grabbed 12 rebounds, dished two assists, snatched one steal, and recorded two blocks across 31 minutes Monday in Utah's win against San Antonio.
EDGE Analysis
Gobert collected double-digit rebounds for the sixth straight game, and the Jazz are 10-2 in the games since Gobert returned from a knee injury that kept him out from mid-December to mid-January. It's fair to worry that his knee injury will continue to limit his effectiveness on offense for the 2017-18 season. However, this guy is a double-double machine and his defensive prowess makes him a valuable fantasy asset.

Gobert amassed 12 points (3-9 FG, 6-7 FT), 11 rebounds, three assists and two blocks in a 115-96 win over the Portland Trail Blazers on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Gobert now has double-digit rebounds in five-straight games, but his field goal percentage has taken a hit over recent weeks. In fact, Gobert has shot below 50 percent in five of his last 10 games, as he's seen his shots decrease since he returned from a knee injury a few weeks ago. That's not much of a concern from a rebounding and defensive stud, but it does limit his fantasy upside. Gobert hasn't reached double figures in shot attempts in seven-straight games but he is averaging 5.2 free-throw attempts for the season, as his 68 percent average is quite the improvement from his career numbers.

Gobert generated 20 points (7-8 FG, 6-8 FT), 11 rebounds, three assists and two blocks across 33 minutes in Friday's 106-94 win over the Hornets.
EDGE Analysis
The 25-year-old helped get Dwight Howard into foul trouble, leading to an early exit for the latter after just 21 minutes. That left Gobert with a much easier path to production, and he parlayed the opportunity into his third double-double in the last four contests. Gobert continues to turn in his typically stellar work on the glass on the majority of nights, and the fact that he's averaging a solid 14.1 points in the 11 games he's played since returning from an extended layoff due to a knee injury is a nice bonus for fantasy owners.

Gobert tallied just eight points (1-5 FG, 6-8 FT), 12 rebounds, two assists and two blocks in 37 minutes during Wednesday's 92-88 victory over the Grizzlies.
EDGE Analysis
Gobert was quiet Wednesday, scoring his lowest point-total since back on January 22. He has been a beast since returning from injury recording rebounds and blocks at an extremely high level. This was simply a bad matchup for the Frenchman and he will look to bounce back when he faces Dwight Howard and the Charlotte Hornets on Friday.
