    Jazz's Walker Kessler: Strong showing in return

    Walker Kessler (hip) logged 11 points (5-8 FG, 1-2 FT), 10 rebounds, three blocks and two assists across 35 minutes during Saturday's 121-106 win over the Knicks.Kessler re-entered the starting lineup at center upon his return from right hip bursitis, and he didn't waste any time getting involved on the glass and as a scorer. He posted his fifth double-double in 10 appearances this season and put the cherry on top of his stellar night by recording a team-high block total. It's also worth noting that Kessler logged 35 minutes, so he doesn't appear to be on any type of playing-time restriction following a six-game absence.

    Jazz's Walker Kessler: Grabs career-high 16 rebounds

    Walker Kessler finished with 12 points (6-7 FG, 0-2 FT), 16 rebounds, two assists and four blocks in 32 minutes during Monday's 135-126 victory over the Bulls.The 16 boards were Kessler's career high, surpassing the mark of 15 he set last season -- ironically, also in Chicago in November. After struggling with consistency through Utah's first four games, Kessler has found his groove with back-to-back double-doubles, totaling 30 points, 30 rebounds, nine blocks and two assists while missing just two shots from the field. Kessler's numbers could take a hit when Lauri Markkanen (back) returns, but fantasy managers are getting what they wanted out of Kessler as a whole thus far if they drafted him in season-long formats.
