Kessler finished with 10 points (5-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt), 10 rebounds, four assists, seven blocks and one steal across 26 minutes during Thursday's 122-114 win over the Trail Blazers.
The double-double was just Kessler's fourth of the season. The second-year big man has struggled to stay healthy and match his form from his rookie season, but he remains an elite rim protector. Since returning from an elbow injury in late November, he's recorded multiple blocks in eight of nine games, averaging 9.6 points, 8.7 boards, 3.3 blocks and 1.7 assists over that stretch while shooting 57.7 percent from the floor.
