Gobert will continue to start against the Rockets on Saturday, even though Enes Kanter (ankle) will be available, the Deseret News reports.
Gobert has enjoyed a bump in minutes over the last four games, although his increased value will likely start to subside starting Saturday. Kanter is on a minute restriction against the Rockets but will almost certainly be ready to take over his spot in the starting lineup in short order.

Gobert started in place of Enes Kanter (ankle) again on Wednesday finishing with 11 points (5-8 FG, 1-2 FT) 14 rebounds, two steals and five blocks in 33 minutes.
Gobert has been great over his last four games averaging 11.5 points, nine rebounds and 4.5 blocks in 30 minutes per game. Unfortunately his production is likely to take a major hit when Kanter. Gobert is averaging 6.1 points, 6.5 rebounds and 1.9 blocks in 19 minutes per game through 35 contests this season. That is closer to the production you can expect from Gobert once Kanter is healthy and regains his starting spot. Kanter is considered questionable for Friday's game against the Thunder.

Gobert got the start again Monday, scoring 11 points (4-5 FG, 3-6 FT) to go along with four rebounds and three blocks in 29 minutes of action.
While the three blocks are becoming commonplace for Gobert, the lack of rebounds was disappointing on Monday. He has had seven or fewer rebounds in three of his last five games despite averaging 25 minutes in that span. Still, the rebounds should come with Gobert seeing an increased role.

Gobert had 13 points (5-7 FG, 3-6 FT), 11 rebounds, and six blocks in 31 minutes as a starter in the win over the Timberwolves on Saturday.
Gobert has been a shot-blocking wonder in his second year in the league and if he continues to start, he could be helpful to fantasy teams in rebounds and possibly points. This was the Jazz's first win in three tries with Gobert as a starter.

Gobert will start Saturday against the Timberwolves.
With Enes Kanter out with a sprained ankle, Gobert will step in for his third start of the season. The 22-year-old Gobert scored 11 points with seven rebounds, one assist and four blocks in 24 minutes against the Hawks on Friday, and is now shooting 62.9 percent for the year.

Gobert grabbed a double-double with 11 points, 13 rebounds Monday against the Clippers. He added two assists and one steal in 25 minutes of action.
Gobert is now averaging 7.0 points, 11.8 rebounds, 1.0 steals, and 1.8 blocks over the last four games. Although he hasn't cracked into the starting lineup with Derrick Favors and Enes Kanter healthy, he's managed to produce in limited minutes. He'll be worth stashing in deeper leagues, and perhaps even serve as an intriguing option in 12-man leagues for the patient owner.

Gobert returned to his familiar role, playing 17 minutes in a bench role, scoring four points (2-3 FG) with six rebounds, two assists, two steals, and three blocks Saturday.
After two straight 30 minute games, Gobert returned to his usual allotment of minutes, but was productive nonetheless. Remarkably, Gobert has blocked at least two shots in nine straight games, and only started in two of those contests. He is only of value for blocks and boards, but if that fits your needs, it looks like it will continue, albeit in limited playing time.

Gobert contributed two points (1-6 FG), 16 rebounds and two blocks in 30 minutes during the Jazz's 97-91 win versus the Grizzlies on Monday.
The Grizzlies were without Zach Randolph, who leads the team in rebounds, and Gobert made the most of his extended action against the depleted Grizzlies' front-court. Gobert's unlikely to bring down nearly as many boards on a nightly basis, but if he's able to earn similarly consistent playing time going forward he could become a decent option in deep leagues.

Gobert mad a second straight start Tuesday with Derrick Favors (ankle) out again. Gobert put up six points (3-6 FG), nine rebounds, and three blocks in 33 minutes.
Favors could be back as soon as Wednesday, so Gobert's value in standard leagues could dry up quickly. What's important to do is to make sure Gobert is on all watch lists, because if Favors were ever to miss significant time, Gobert would be a must-add in all leagues.

Gobert will get another start at center Tuesday, the Deseret News' Jody Genessy reports.
Derrick Favors remains out with an ankle injury, making Gobert a borderline must-start in daily leagues. He had seven points, nine rebounds, two steals and three blocks in 31 minutes in his last start, and the floor for his contributions in rebounds and blocks is extremely high when he sees a starter's workload.
