Talen Horton-Tucker News
Utah Jazz guards Keyonte George (foot) and Talen Horton-Tucker (foot) will both be active on Tuesday against the San Antonio Spurs, with the two playmakers overcoming bouts of left foot inflammation. George will dress for the first time since Dec. 13 after missing six games, but it remains to be seen if he will start. Collin Sexton has fared extremely well of late, averaging 22.9 points, 4.1 assists, and 2.0 threes over his past eight contests. Horton-Tucker missed Utah's last two games but was gaining momentum with double-digit points for eight straight games plus a 19-point, 11-assist double-double last Wednesday. Though Tuesday's game holds the highest implied point total (242.5) of the nine-game slate, the Jazz backcourt has suddenly become crowded, with Jordan Clarkson also returning from a six-game hiatus on Saturday. The DFS value is difficult to parse, but players should want some form of exposure to this attractive game environment.
Utah Jazz guard/forward Talen Horton-Tucker (foot) won't play on the second leg of a back-to-back set for Thursday's matchup against the Detroit Pistons due soreness in his left foot. It's tough timing for fantasy managers, as Horton-Tucker was really starting to pick up some steam of late with Jordan Clarkson (thigh) and Keyonte George (foot) not around. The versatile Horton-Tucker has reached double figures in scoring for eight consecutive contests and put up a 19-point, 11-assist double-double on Wednesday against the Cleveland Cavaliers. THT will aim to return on Saturday against the Toronto Raptors. Collin Sexton has poured in at least 20 points in six straight games and should continue to have the green light offensively, while Kris Dunn might be in for an uptick in playing time on Thursday against the dismal Pistons.
Utah Jazz guard Talen Horton-Tucker (illness) has been upgraded to probable ahead of Saturday's game against the Sacramento Kings. He was questionable heading into this game due to a non-COVID related illness. Despite that, it appears Horton-Tucker is going to be fine to play. He figures to resume his role as the starter alongside Collin Sexton in the backcourt. Fantasy managers who have him rostered can get him back in their lineups ahead of Saturday's game.
Utah Jazz guard/forward Talen Horton-Tucker has exercised his $11 million player option for the 2023-24 campaign. The 22-year-old has found himself in a good situation in Utah and is staying for a second season. Horton-Tucker gained a lot of steam in fantasy hoops last term, averaging 18.3 points, 5.2 rebounds and 5.9 assists as he closed the campaign as a starter. He tallied 10.7 points, 3.2 rebounds and 3.8 assists for the season overall. The Chicago-born player has shown good upside, and he definitely has more room for improvement after struggling with efficiency in 2022-23.
