He had a horrible night from the free-throw line and didn't produce much as a scorer, but the elite defender didn't disappoint in the rebounding department, leading all players with 16 boards. The Jazz get a night off Wednesday, which should give Gobert sufficient time to rest his leg and cement his availability for Thursday's matchup against the Lakers.
