Rudy Gobert posts double-double in limited minutes

The Timberwolves' head coach elected to utilize a smaller lineup during crunch time of Thursday's victory over the Pelicans, restricting Rudy Gobert to just 24 minutes of action. The reduced workload stood in stark contrast to Tuesday's matchup against the same opponent, where the center logged 38 minutes. Despite the limited court time, Gobert was productive, registering 15 points (5-of-8 FG, 5-of-8 FT), 12 rebounds, three assists, and one block.
Fantasy Impact:
While Gobert remains a viable option for fantasy managers, his playing time fluctuation is becoming a situation to monitor. This marks another instance where the coaching staff has pivoted away from the big man to close out a game, a trend that caps his overall ceiling.
