• Jazz's Walker Kessler: Efficient in limited run Monday

  6H ago • By RotoWire

  Kessler finished with 10 points (5-6 FG, 0-1 FT), seven rebounds, one block and one steal in 23 minutes during Monday's 144-107 loss to the Clippers. Kessler was efficient across only 23 minutes during the blowout loss, in which he played 25 or fewer minutes for just the third time through 19 regular-season appearances. The big man has been productive on both ends of the floor while stuffing the stat sheet in his last 10 outings, during which he has averaged 12.9 points, 10.4 rebounds, 2.8 blocks and 1.8 assists while shooting 75.7 percent from the field across 31.5 minutes per contest.

• Jazz's Walker Kessler: Pulls down 14 rebounds

  9D ago • By RotoWire

  Kessler posted eight points (4-5 FG), 14 rebounds, two assists and four blocks in 32 minutes during Sunday's 141-97 loss to the Kings. Kessler couldn't complete a double-double since he didn't have a lot of touches on offense, but he made the most of his opportunities while making all but one of his field goals. Kessler also grabbed double-digit rebounds for the sixth game in a row. He's averaging 14.2 points, 12.5 rebounds and 3.5 blocks per game in that span.

• Jazz's Walker Kessler: Excellent two-way display

  11D ago • By RotoWire

  Kessler amassed 13 points (5-8 FG, 3-4 FT), 17 rebounds, two assists and five blocks over 31 minutes during Friday's 141-99 win over the Trail Blazers. Kessler recorded his fifth straight double-double Friday, but there's a strong argument to assess this performance as his best outing in the entire campaign. The big man notched a season-high mark in rebounds and also tied his season-best output in blocks, as this was the fourth time he rejected five shots. Kessler, who has six double-doubles in seven games since returning from a six-game absence due to a hip injury in mid-November, should remain a valuable fantasy option for fantasy managers across all formats, particularly at a position that isn't loaded with talent outside of the top-tier options.

  Kessler accumulated 17 points (6-7 FG, 5-8 FT), 11 rebounds and two blocks over 36 minutes during Tuesday's 133-106 loss to the Thunder. Kessler was extremely efficient on both ends of the court despite the blowout loss, missing just one of his shots from the field and recording his fourth straight double-double. It was also his fifth double-double across his last six outings since returning from a hip injury that sidelined him for six contests. Kessler averaged 13.5 points, 10.2 rebounds and 2.8 blocks per game over that six-game stretch.

  Kessler posted 18 points (7-9 FG, 4-5 FT), 10 rebounds, one assist, five blocks and three steals over 30 minutes during Saturday's 106-94 loss to Dallas. The Jazz came up short against the Mavericks, but Kessler delivered one of his best fantasy performances of the campaign. This was his third double-double in four games since returning from a six-game absence due to a hip injury. Furthermore, Kessler now has seven double-doubles in 13 games while recording multiple blocks in all but two of those 13 appearances.
