Rudy Gobert amassed 24 points (11-of-13 FGs, 2-of-3 FTs), 14 rebounds, one assist, two steals and one block in the win over the Warriors on Friday.After being ejected from Monday's loss to the Suns, Gobert responded with one of his better performances of the season on Friday. In the win, the veteran center crossed the 20-point mark for the second time this season and pulled down double-digit rebounds to claim his 10th double-double. Most notably, Gobert came up big in the fourth quarter by going 6-of-6 from the field with a key basket down the stretch to help the Timberwolves get back in the win column. His numbers are down slightly this season, but he remains a nightly double-double threat.
Bones Hyland, Donte DiVincenzo, Jaden McDaniels, Julius Randle and Rudy Gobert will start Friday's game against the Warriors.There's just one change to the Timberwolves' starting lineup, but it's significant. Anthony Edwards is out with a foot injury, so Hyland will make his first start as a Timberwolf. With Mike Conley also out, this may be a spot where Rob Dillingham picks up rotation minutes off the bench, but Hyland should be the focus of deep-league managers looking for a streamer.
