Fantasy Impact

Gobert won the award for the second straight year over some stiff competition in Giannis Antetokounmpo and Paul George. He averaged 2.3 blocks and a career-high 12.9 rebounds in 2018. Both of those numbers ranked in the top-5 in the NBA. The “Stifle Tower” becomes just the 10th player in NBA history with at least two DPOY awards.

Rudy Gobert set a new playoff-high with seven blocked shots in Game 3 against the Rockets but it wasn't enough as the Rockets took Game 3 104-101. Gobert also scored 10 points and grabbed eight boards with one assist in 33 minutes.

Fantasy Impact

Gobert fell short of a double-double but came close to a triple-double with seven blocked shots. Gobert remains a solid bet for a double-double as he's averaging 10 rebounds and 11 points per game in this series.

Rudy Gobert put up a solid night of number despite a blowout loss to the Rockets on Sunday. He scored a team-high 22 points on 8-of-10 shooting and made all six of his free throw attempts. Gobert added 12 rebounds in the 122-90 loss in game one of Jazz-Rockets series. He also added an assist and a block.

Fantasy Impact

Gobert still puts up great numbers even in a bad loss and team effort. The Frenchman is a must-start in all formats as long as the Jazz are still playing. If Sunday's game is any indication of the series, Gobert might not be playing many more games this season. It will be interesting to see what adjustment Quin Snyder makes defensively for Gobert to be more impactful.

Rudy Gobert contributed another double-double on Tuesday with 21 points and 10 rebounds. In the Jazz' final home game of the season Gobert added an assist, steal, and two blocks.

Fantasy Impact

Start the Frenchman in Utah's final game as long as he suits up. He might rest since Utah has clinched the fifth seed and cannot move. Monitor Gobert's status Wednesday.
