Rudy Gobert gets double-double in 2 OT thriller
by Dan Titus | Timberwolves Correspondent | Sun, Aug 9th 4:09am EDT
Rudy Gobert amassed 22 points (9-16 FG, 4-8 FT) and grabbed 13 rebounds (six offensive), along with two assists, one block, and three turnovers across 41 minutes in a thrilling double-overtime loss to the Nuggets.
Fantasy Impact:
Gobert had a solid game collecting his 49th double-double this season and helping the Jazz create second-chance opportunities through his active offensive rebounding. However, he had his hands full defensively, as Nikola Jokic put up 30 points and forced him into foul trouble. Gobert did an excellent job keeping up with Jokic for much of the first three quarters before going silent and ultimately fouling out in the first overtime period. His next opponent will be against Kristaps Porzingis and the Dallas Mavericks on Monday. Despite his matchup, Gobert has a safe floor and is one of the best bets for a double-double on a nightly basis.
