Rudy Gobert available, will come off Utah bench
Utah Jazz center Rudy Gobert (knee) is available to play against the Houston Rockets on Thursday and will come off the bench.
What It Means:
Jeff Withey will start again, but Gobert is back. The Jazz will have a severe minutes cap on him, likely limiting him to just one stint in each half. His return would likely affect guys like Tibor Pleiss more than anyone tonight.
Gobert is averaging 9.2 points, 10.9 and 2.6 blocks per game. After posting a 60.4 Effective Field Goal Percentage a year ago, that number has dropped to 56.0 this season. His 1.4 nERD ranks 64th.
