The 31-year-old center has scored in double digits in 11 of the last 12 games, averaging 15.9 points, 13.0 rebounds, 2.1 blocks, 1.9 assists and 1.0 steals over that stretch to close out the regular season.

Impact Although Gobert couldn't contain Jokic's scoring barrage, he fared about as well as possible off the glass against the presumptive MVP.

The Timberwolves hope to have Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) back for the playoffs, and his presence could be the difference-maker if Minnesota meets Denver again in the Western Conference Finals.
