Elijah Harkless Out Vs. Cleveland

Utah Jazz guard Elijah Harkless (hamstring) will not play Monday against Cleveland due to hamstring soreness, thinning an already depleted backcourt. With Isaiah Collier (hamstring) and Keyonte George (hamstring) also sidelined, Kennedy Chandler could see more ballhandling duties after posting 11 points, three rebounds, and eight assists in 24 minutes last game. Bez Mbeng may also pick up extra run after contributing five points, three rebounds, one assist, and one steal in 17 minutes. Chandler is worth a look for managers needing assists in deeper leagues, while Mbeng is more of a wait-and-see option unless minutes climb.

Keyonte George, Isaiah Collier Still Out Monday

Utah Jazz guards Keyonte George (hamstring) and Isaiah Collier (hamstring) will remain out on Monday against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Both players are nursing hamstring injuries and haven't been part of the lineup for a couple of weeks. George will miss his 10th consecutive game, and Collier won't be available for a seventh straight contest. Kennedy Chandler, Elijah Harkless, and Bez Mbeng will continue to see extra action on Monday. Out of the three players, Chandler has provided the most consistent fantasy production, averaging 14.6 points, 3.0 rebounds, 7.2 assists, and 1.2 steals over the past five games.

Kyle Filipowski Available Friday

Utah Jazz forward/center Kyle Filipowski (illness) is ready to face Nikola Jokic and the Denver Nuggets on Friday night. He wasn't available on Wednesday against Washington due to illness and was initially listed as probable for Friday's tilt. Filipowski has enjoyed a much larger role late in the season, but his recent performances have been inconsistent. He will face a tough challenge against Jokic on both ends of the floor. Filipowski has averaged 12.0 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 3.5 assists in matchups with the Nuggets this season.

Kyle Filipowski Expected Back After Illness

Utah Jazz forward/center Kyle Filipowski (illness) is probable for Friday's game against the Nuggets after missing the team's previous contest. The second-year big man is expected to step back into the starting lineup and handle his normal workload if cleared to play. Filipowski finished with six points, eight rebounds, four assists, one steal, and one block in 30 minutes in his last outing, giving him modest fantasy value for rebounds and some secondary playmaking at center. His return would likely mean fewer minutes for Oscar Tshiebwe and should help Utah get a bit more stability in the frontcourt rotation.

Isaiah Collier to Miss Fifth Straight Game

Utah Jazz guard Isaiah Collier (hamstring) will not play Friday against Denver, marking his fifth straight absence due to the injury. With no clear return timetable, his availability for the remainder of the season remains uncertain. Bez Mbeng should continue to log heavy minutes in the starting lineup after finishing with 11 points, six assists, and three steals in 44 minutes last game, giving him some deep-league appeal for assists and defensive stats. Kennedy Chandler chipped in 14 points and eight assists off the bench and looks like the more attractive streaming option for managers needing guard production.

Cody Williams is Upgraded to Available

Utah Jazz guard Cody Williams (shoulder) is upgraded to available ahead of Wednesday's game against the Washington Wizards. The second-year guard is back in the mix after missing Monday's game due to right shoulder soreness. Williams has been posting better numbers lately with a larger role in the rotation. He's averaging 16.2 points, 4.6 rebounds, and 4.6 assists across 35.0 minutes per game over his last nine contests. His value is certainly on the rise with the Jazz focused on playing their younger players down the stretch of the season. Fantasy managers in need of a streaming option should take a look at Williams.

Kyle Filipowski is Downgraded to Out

Utah Jazz forward/center Kyle Filipowski (illness) has been ruled out for Wednesday's contest against the Washington Wizards. He was previously listed as doubtful, so his ultimate absence shouldn't surprise fantasy managers. The loss of Filipowski should mean larger roles in the rotation for Oscar Tshiebwe and Kevin Love. Between the two big men, Tshiebwe is the better streaming choice for Wednesday's slate. Love is barely seeing time on the court, while Tshiebwe has a regular role in the rotation. Filipowski figures to be back for Friday's game, but fantasy managers should check back for another update.

Brice Sensabaugh Resting on Wednesday

Utah Jazz forward Brice Sensabaugh (rest) won't play on Wednesday against the Washington Wizards. The 22-year-old battled an illness last week but returned from a two-game absence on Monday against Toronto, finishing with 24 points. Sensabaugh has scored at least 20 points in six straight outings, averaging 21.4 points per game in March. However, he won't be unleashed against Washington's awful defense. John Konchar and Bez Mbeng could pick up extra work on Wednesday night, especially if Cody Williams (shoulder) also isn't in the lineup.

Kyle Filipowski Dealing With Illness, Unlikely to Play Wednesday

Utah Jazz forward/center Kyle Filipowski (illness) is doubtful for Wednesday's game against the Washington Wizards. Centers have consistently dominated the Wizards, but Filipowski will likely miss this chance due to illness. His absence would open up playing time for Oscar Tshiebwe, Kevin Love, and Blake Hinson. Tshiebwe is the likeliest candidate to take over the starting center spot and has picked up momentum from Monday's loss to Toronto. In 28 minutes off the bench, Tshiebwe had a busy night, finishing with 16 points, seven rebounds, two assists, one steal, and two blocks.

Isaiah Collier Remains Out Wednesday

Utah Jazz guard Isaiah Collier (hamstring) will remain out for Wednesday's game against Washington, extending his absence as he continues to recover from a left hamstring strain. His next opportunity to return comes Friday against Denver. Kennedy Chandler has been the more useful fantasy option lately, putting up 13 points, five rebounds, nine assists, and three steals off the bench in the last game. He makes sense as a deep-league streamer if you need assists and steals. Bez Mbeng should still see plenty of minutes as a starter, but his limited scoring upside keeps him more of a deeper-league play.

Cody Williams Ruled Out Monday

Utah Jazz guard/forward Cody Williams (shoulder) won't suit up on Monday night against the Toronto Raptors. He has been ruled out after Utah initially listed Williams as doubtful. The 21-year-old has been one of the offensive leaders for the Jazz recently, averaging 14.1 points, 4.4 rebounds, and 4.0 assists per game as a starter. With Williams out, Utah is promoting John Konchar to the starting lineup, giving him extra fantasy value.

Isaiah Collier Still Sidelined Monday

Utah Jazz guard Isaiah Collier (hamstring) will miss another game Monday against Toronto, marking his third straight absence due to injury management. With Keyonte George (hamstring) also sidelined, Utah has leaned heavily on Kennedy Chandler and Bez Mbeng to handle point guard duties. Mbeng logged 13 points, six rebounds, and seven assists in 45 minutes in his last start, while Chandler added 19 points, five rebounds, and four assists in 37 minutes off the bench. Both guards are worth a look in deeper leagues while Collier remains out.

Brice Sensabaugh Remains Out Saturday

Utah Jazz guard/forward Brice Sensabaugh (illness) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against Philadelphia, marking his second straight absence. Utah remains shorthanded, which should keep Ace Bailey and Cody Williams in prominent offensive roles. Bailey is coming off a 33-point outing with seven three-pointers, nine rebounds, four assists, and three steals in 34 minutes and looks like a strong fantasy play while the Jazz are depleted. Williams added 23 points and five assists in 27 minutes and remains a viable deep-league option. Kyle Filipowski could also see steady usage in the frontcourt.

Isaiah Collier to Miss Second Straight Game

Utah Jazz guard Isaiah Collier (hamstring) will miss Saturday's game against the 76ers, marking his second straight absence and leaving Utah thin at point guard. Elijah Harkless should continue seeing significant run after posting 23 points and 10 assists in 35 minutes last game, making him one of the more appealing short-term fantasy adds. Bez Mbeng also saw plenty of minutes and filled the box score, but he looks more like a deep-league option. Newly signed Kennedy Chandler is worth monitoring if he enters the rotation.

Lauri Markkanen • PF • Jazz

Lauri Markkanen Out at Least Two More Weeks

Utah Jazz forward Lauri Markkanen (hip) will be re-evaluated in two weeks and remains a strong shutdown candidate with the team prioritizing development down the stretch. His absence opens up minutes, but Utah's rotation has been unpredictable, making it tough to trust anyone outside deeper leagues. Andersson Garcia finished with seven points, 11 rebounds, five assists, and three steals in 48 minutes Wednesday and is worth a look for defensive stats. Blake Hinson also chipped in 14 points with four three-pointers in 20 minutes and could be a scoring streamer. Cody Williams and Kyle Filipowski should continue seeing expanded roles.

Brice Sensabaugh Out Against Milwaukee

Utah Jazz guard/forward Brice Sensabaugh (illness) is out for Thursday's game against the Bucks after erupting for 41 points Wednesday in a loss to Minnesota. His absence should open more scoring chances for rookie forward Ace Bailey, who posted 17 points with five three-pointers in 25 minutes, making him a strong points and threes streamer during the fantasy playoffs. Elijah Harkless could also see a bump after finishing with eight points, six rebounds, and two steals in 20 minutes. Bailey remains attractive in fantasy, though Utah's tendency for random rest days adds some risk.

John Konchar Out Thursday Against Bucks

Utah Jazz forward John Konchar (quadriceps) will miss Thursday's game against the Bucks after returning from a three-game calf injury absence Wednesday and picking up a right quad contusion in his first game back. His absence should open a few extra rotation minutes, with rookie forward Ace Bailey positioned to benefit after posting 17 points with five three-pointers, two rebounds, two assists, and one block in 25 minutes Wednesday. Bailey profiles as a viable points and threes streamer during the fantasy playoffs, though Utah's tendency for surprise rest days adds some risk. Cody Williams and Kyle Filipowski should continue seeing steady minutes with the rotation still thinned by injuries.

Isaiah Collier is Sitting Out on Thursday

Utah Jazz guard Isaiah Collier (hamstring) has been ruled out ahead of Thursday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. He'll sit out the second leg of this back-to-back set due to left hamstring soreness. Fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day ahead of Saturday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. Without Collier available, Bez Mbeng and Elijah Harkless should split up the starting point guard role. Between the two, Harkless is the better streaming option, but remains a deep league choice.

Ace Bailey Slated to Suit Up Wednesday

According to Ben Anderson of KSL News in Salt Lake City, Utah Jazz guard/forward Ace Bailey (concussion) is available for Wednesday's matchup against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Bailey missed Sunday's contest against Sacramento while in the league's concussion protocol. If the 19-year-old experiences any setbacks, Andersson Garcia, who recorded three points, 11 rebounds, three assists, two steals, and one block across 43 minutes on Sunday, would likely be called upon to handle an expanded role once again.

Ace Bailey • SF • Jazz

Ace Bailey Questionable to Play Wednesday

Utah Jazz guard/forward Ace Bailey (concussion) is questionable for Wednesday's meeting with the Minnesota Timberwolves. He sustained a concussion last week and could sit out a second straight game. With nothing left to play for the Jazz, Bailey was gearing up for a big finish to the season, but the concussion has been a setback for him. Bailey's absence on Wednesday night could lead to another start for Andersson Garcia, who posted three points, 11 rebounds, three assists, two steals, and one block in 43 minutes on Sunday against Sacramento.
