Kessler has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Nets due to rest.

EDGE Analysis

Kessler will take a seat for the second night of a back-to-back set after posting 16 points, 13 rebounds and two blocks in 31 minutes during Saturday's loss to Phoenix. He should return to action against the Hornets on Wednesday, while Kyle Filipowski (ankle), Drew Eubanks and Micah Potter are all candidates for increased roles Sunday.

Kessler accumulated 16 points (7-9 FG, 2-3 FT), 13 rebounds and two blocks across 31 minutes during Saturday's 114-106 loss to the Suns.

EDGE Analysis

Kessler turned in his 16th double-double of the campaign Saturday, racking up double-digit boards for the ninth time in his last 10 games. During this time, the 23-year-old big man is averaging 13.5 rebounds, 11.3 points and 1.7 blocks in 31.3 minutes while shooting 71.6 percent from the field. With John Collins still dealing with a hip injury, Kessler should continue dominating on the glass as long as the former remains sidelined. Kessler remains one of fantasy's best in 2024-25 when it comes to producing in the swats, boards and field-goal percentage categories.

Kessler racked up nine points (4-5 FG, 1-2 FT), 15 rebounds and two blocks over 30 minutes during Thursday's 97-92 loss to the Heat.

EDGE Analysis

Kessler finished just one point away from recording what would've been his fourth consecutive double-double. Despite not being a go-to option on offense, Kessler remains a reliable two-way option for the Jazz, particularly due to his efficiency as a scoring weapon. Over his last 10 games, Kessler averaged 10.2 points and 12.9 rebounds per game while shooting 70.5 percent from the floor.

Kessler totaled 21 points (8-11 FG, 5-6 FT), 10 rebounds, three blocks and one steal in 30 minutes during Tuesday's 124-121 loss to the Hawks.

EDGE Analysis

Kessler had another solid two-way display Tuesday, recording a third straight double-double and reaching that feat for the fifth time over his last six contests. The big man remains one of the best two-way centers in the NBA, and he's averaging 12.3 points, 12.5 rebounds and 1.3 blocks per game over that six-game stretch.

Kessler provided 10 points (4-6 FG, 2-2 FT), 17 rebounds, two assists and one block in 29 minutes during Sunday's 105-92 win over the Magic.

EDGE Analysis

Kessler recorded a double-double for the fourth time across his last five outings, and the big man continues to be among the most productive two-way interior presences in the league. Even though his scoring numbers remain subpar, as he hasn't reached the 15-point mark since Dec. 13, he should remain valuable in fantasy due to his rebounding and shot-blocking skills. He's averaging 10.6 points, 13.0 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 1.0 blocks per game over his last five games.

Kessler amassed 12 points (6-6 FG), 13 rebounds, four assists, two blocks and one steal over 38 minutes during Monday's 132-121 loss to the Nuggets.

EDGE Analysis

Kessler was perfect from the floor and notched a second straight double-double, but it was also the fourth game in a row in which he racked up double-digit boards. The big man averaged a double-double in 12 appearances in December, tallying 10.5 points and 11.7 rebounds per game in that stretch while settling himself as one of the best two-way fantasy big men in The Association.

Kessler accumulated nine points (4-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-6 FT), 16 rebounds, three assists and three blocks in 38 minutes during Monday's 124-113 loss to the Cavaliers.

EDGE Analysis

Kessler dominated the glass, grabbing at least 15 rebounds for the third time this season. After a disappointing sophomore season, Kessler has turned things around, averaging 10.5 points, 10.7 rebounds and 2.9 blocks in 29.4 minutes per game. Despite some conjecture as to who would be the starting center in Utah, it appears as though Kessler has firmly established himself as the man in the middle moving forward.

Kessler finished with 10 points (5-6 FG, 0-1 FT), seven rebounds, one block and one steal in 23 minutes during Monday's 144-107 loss to the Clippers.

EDGE Analysis

Kessler was efficient across only 23 minutes during the blowout loss, in which he played 25 or fewer minutes for just the third time through 19 regular-season appearances. The big man has been productive on both ends of the floor while stuffing the stat sheet in his last 10 outings, during which he has averaged 12.9 points, 10.4 rebounds, 2.8 blocks and 1.8 assists while shooting 75.7 percent from the field across 31.5 minutes per contest.

Kessler posted eight points (4-5 FG), 14 rebounds, two assists and four blocks in 32 minutes during Sunday's 141-97 loss to the Kings.

EDGE Analysis

Kessler couldn't complete a double-double since he didn't have a lot of touches on offense, but he made the most of his opportunities while making all but one of his field goals. Kessler also grabbed double-digit rebounds for the sixth game in a row. He's averaging 14.2 points, 12.5 rebounds and 3.5 blocks per game in that span.

Kessler amassed 13 points (5-8 FG, 3-4 FT), 17 rebounds, two assists and five blocks over 31 minutes during Friday's 141-99 win over the Trail Blazers.

EDGE Analysis

Kessler recorded his fifth straight double-double Friday, but there's a strong argument to assess this performance as his best outing in the entire campaign. The big man notched a season-high mark in rebounds and also tied his season-best output in blocks, as this was the fourth time he rejected five shots. Kessler, who has six double-doubles in seven games since returning from a six-game absence due to a hip injury in mid-November, should remain a valuable fantasy option for fantasy managers across all formats, particularly at a position that isn't loaded with talent outside of the top-tier options.
