Timberwolves' Rudy Gobert: Questionable Monday
Rotowire
Gobert (ankle) is questionable for Monday's game in New York.
Gobert has been listed as "questionable" the past four games for the Timberwolves, but he's been powering through the ankle issue, so he feels a bit closer to "probable." He'll likely be a game-time call Monday night, but if he's not able to give it a go, Naz Reid (calf) would make for a quality streamer.

Rotowire
Gobert fouled out of Friday's 139-131 double-overtime loss to the Bulls after recording 21 points (8-14 FG, 5-9 FT), 19 rebounds, one assist and five blocks in 33 minutes.
Gobert came into this game with a questionable tag due to an ankle issue, but he was moving around really well. The contest went into double overtime, but the big man fouled out in 33 minutes. The Timberwolves play again Saturday against the Raptors, so fantasy managers will want to check the injury report to see if any players will be held out for maintenance.

Timberwolves' Rudy Gobert: Efficient from field in loss
Rotowire
Gobert ended Wednesday's 104-102 loss to Boston with 15 points (6-8 FG, 3-7 FT), six rebounds, one assist and one steal across 29 minutes.
Gobert missed just two shots from the field in Wednesday's loss, but there's no question the Timberwolves expect -- and need -- more out of him. He's failed to repeat the same numbers he had in past seasons with the Jazz, and the towering Frenchman has taken a step back in most of the major categories this season. He's averaging 16.0 points, 10.7 rebounds and 1.5 blocks per game in six March outings.

Rotowire
Gobert (ankle) will play in Wednesday's game against the Celtics.

Timberwolves' Rudy Gobert: Questionable for Wednesday
Rotowire
Gobert (left ankle sprain) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Celtics.
Naz Reid (calf) is also questionable for Wednesday's game, so if both players are forced to the sidelines, Luka Garza could be forced into big minutes, and Nathan Knight would have the opportunity for extended run. Gobert managers will need to check back for another update closer to Wednesday's tip.

Timberwolves' Rudy Gobert: Excels while playing through injury
Rotowire
Gobert (ankle) tallied 14 points (5-10 FG, 4-5 FT), eight rebounds, four assists, three blocks and one steal in 30 minutes in Monday's 136-115 win over the Hawks.
Gobert's status was cloudy heading into the day while he managed a left ankle sprain, but the veteran center showed no sign of being affected by the injury while taking on a normal minutes count Monday. Though the Timberwolves may have some buyer's remorse about giving up a cache of draft picks and players to acquire Gobert from the Jazz this past summer, the 30-year-old has recently stepped up his play. Over his seven appearances since the All-Star break, Gobert is shooting 63.9 percent from the floor and is averaging 16.3 points, 10.7 boards, 2.0 blocks, 1.9 assists and 1.3 steals.

Timberwolves' Rudy Gobert: Good to go
Rotowire
Gobert (ankle) has been cleared to play Monday against the Hawks.
Gobert was listed as a game-time decision earlier in the day due to a left ankle sprain, but he's since been given the green light. He should play a full complement of minutes following a stellar 26-point performance Friday against the Nets.

Timberwolves' Rudy Gobert: Questionable Monday
Rotowire
Gobert (left ankle sprain) is questionable for Monday's matchup with the Hawks.
Gobert rolled his ankle during the fourth quarter of Friday's game, and while he was able to play through the injury, it looks to have swelled up on him. He'll test his ankle at Monday's shootaround, but if he's not able to give it a go, Naz Reid would likely get a spot start and he'd make for an attractive streamer.

Timberwolves' Rudy Gobert: Huge night Friday
Rotowire
Gobert posted 26 points (12-15 FG, 2-6 FT), 13 rebounds, four assists, one block and four steals over 42 minutes during Friday's 124-123 overtime loss to the Nets.
Gobert had arguably his best game since joining the Timberwolves, going for 26-and-13 to go with five defensive stats. The arrival of Mike Conley has certainly done wonders for Gobert, allowing him to look more like the player managers were hoping for earlier in the season. The hope is that he can continue to build on these recent performances; however, managers will want to keep an eye on the injury report ahead of Monday's game against the Hawks. While Gobert was able to close the game, he did appear to roll his ankle early in the fourth quarter.

Timberwolves' Rudy Gobert: Dominated in blowout loss
Rotowire
Gobert finished with six points (2-6 FG, 2-4 FT), nine rebounds, two assists, one block and two steals across 25 minutes during Tuesday's 117-94 loss to Philadelphia.
Gobert was no match for Joel Embiid in the loss, basically played out of the game at times. This performance really highlighted what a struggle it has been for Gobert this season. His lack of lateral movement and overall speed limits where he can play, especially on the defensive end. With centers becoming more versatile with their offensive skillset, it feels as though Gobert is being left behind. With no prospect of expanding his range beyond about three feet, Gobert's long-term value, or lack thereof, is cause for concern.

Timberwolves' Rudy Gobert: Grabs 14 rebounds in win
Rotowire
Gobert provided 13 points (5-9 FG, 3-4 FT), 14 rebounds and two blocks over 31 minutes during Saturday's 138-134 victory over Sacramento.
Gobert has hit the double-double mark in five of his last six games. The veteran's shot-blocking has also been better of late, with 12 swats over the six-game span. Gobert has struggled to stay healthy at various points during the season, but he remains one of the league's best defenders and will continue to be an excellent rebounding source.

Rotowire
Gobert recorded 22 points (8-12 FG, 6-10 FT), 14 rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal across 27 minutes during Friday's 110-102 victory over the Lakers.
Gobert turned in an impressive all-around performance, shooting 66.7 percent from the field while adding six points from the charity stripe. He also tallied a double-double with the help of his effort on the glass, securing five of his 14 rebounds on the offensive end. Gobert has notched a double-double in four of his last five appearances.

Timberwolves' Rudy Gobert: Available to play Tuesday
Rotowire
Gobert (illness) is available for Tuesday against the Clippers.
Gobert is back from a one-game absence and is expected to rejoin the starting lineup, which would most likely send Naz Reid back to the bench. It will be interesting to see if Reid stays heavily involved after erupting for 30 points and nine rebounds Sunday against the Warriors.

Timberwolves' Rudy Gobert: Probable Tuesday
Rotowire
Gobert (illness) is probable for Tuesday's game against the Clippers.
Gobert sat out Sunday's game with a minor illness, but it looks like he'll be back in action Tuesday night to take on the Clippers. His return should shift Naz Reid back to the second unit, and Nathan Knight might drop from the rotation entirely.
