Timberwolves' Rudy Gobert: Posts another double-double
Rotowire
Gobert ended with 18 points (7-14 FG, 4-6 FT), 15 rebounds, one assist, one block and two steals in 38 minutes during Friday's 108-104 loss to Portland.
Gobert managed to build off the dominant 21-point, 12-rebound effort he delivered in the win over the Jazz on March 18, and the big man posted back-to-back double-doubles for the first time since his first two games following the All-Star break. Gobert seems to be putting it all together, and if he can put up double-doubles consistently, he'd provide a huge boost for a Timberwolves team that's still without Anthony Edwards (knee). Gobert is averaging 11.1 points and 11.5 rebounds per game since the beginning of March, so even if he remains inconsistent on offense, he still delivers decent fantasy upside in all formats.

Timberwolves' Rudy Gobert: Triggers automatic one-game ban
Rotowire
Gobert logged 22 points (9-11 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 4-8 FT), 17 rebounds, three blocks, one assist and one steal over 32 minutes during Friday's 122-111 win over the Mavericks. He was assessed his seventh flagrant foul of the season late in the second quarter, triggering an automatic one-game suspension.
Gobert finished with another strong double-double while offering four defensive counters, but his flagrant 1 foul marred an otherwise excellent night. The NBA will presumably review the play in question, but if the flagrant foul isn't rescinded, Gobert will sit out Sunday's game against the 76ers. Gobert previously served a one-game ban Jan. 13 against the Bucks after accruing his sixth flagrant foul. Though Gobert will be assessed another one-game suspension if his sixth flagrant foul is upheld, any additional flagrant 1 or 2 fouls beyond that will result in an automatic two-game suspension.

Rotowire
Gobert produced 18 points (7-7 FG, 4-9 FT), six rebounds, one assist and one block in 33 minutes during Monday's 138-116 victory over the Hawks.

Free-throw shooting remains an issue, though, as Gobert's efficiency at the charity stripe has dipped below 50.0 percent this season after finishing at 67.4 percent last year.

The big man is averaging 10.4 points, 11.9 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 1.1 steals and 1.7 blocks so far this month.

Timberwolves' Rudy Gobert: Cleared to play Thursday
Rotowire
Gobert (ankle) is available for Thursday's game against the Thunder, Brandon Rahbar of DailyThunder.com reports.
Gobert was a game-time decision for Thursday's game due to a left ankle sprain, but the veteran center has been given the green light to play against Oklahoma City. He has averaged 10.1 points, 12.0 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 1.8 blocks and 1.1 steals over 30.5 minutes per game since Jan. 3.
Gobert is questionable for Thursday's game against the Thunder due to a left ankle sprain.
Gobert's status could be determined by a game-time decision based on pregame warmups. If the star big man is ultimately downgraded to out, Naz Reid stands out as the most likely choice to step into a featured role at center for the Timberwolves.
