Keyonte George Won't Face Nets Saturday

Utah Jazz guard Keyonte George (ankle) is unavailable for Saturday's contest with the Brooklyn Nets due to a left ankle sprain. George has been reliable for fantasy managers, but unfortunately, he is set to miss his second game this season. In the wake of the 21-year-olds absence, players like Jordan Clarkson and Johnny Juzang will likely absorb some of the minutes that will be available. Patty Mills and Isaiah Collier could also see more playing while George is sidelined.

Keyonte George Slated As Questionable For Saturday Against Nets

Utah Jazz guard Keyonte George (ankle) is listed as questionable for Saturday night's game against the Brooklyn Nets. George is listed as having a left ankle sprain. He's only missed one game this season so fantasy managers should be hopeful he's able to fight through this. George put up 28 points against Detroit on Thursday night while going 7-13 from deep. He should have another interesting matchup against Brooklyn if he's able to go. If not, expect Jordan Clarkson and Johnny Juzang to get more usage in Utah's offense. Clarkson should be prioritized as the more reliable fantasy option.

Jordan Clarkson Available For Monday Night Against Clippers

Utah Jazz guard Jordan Clarkson (foot) is listed as available for Monday night's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. Clarkson had missed seven straight games dealing with plantar fasciitis in his left foot before returning off the bench and putting up 23 points in Friday night's loss to the Phoenix Suns. The 32-year-old should be in line for another solid outing on Monday night as he put up 21 points against the Clippers earlier this season. Fantasy managers and DFS managers should target the guard as a solid option in the late slate.

Kyle Filipowski Ready To Return On Sunday

Utah Jazz forward/center Kyle Filipowski (lower leg) will return to action on Sunday against Sacramento. He's missed seven games with a lower leg injury. The rookie out of Duke made five consecutive starts for the Jazz before getting injured. John Collins has cemented a spot in the first unit during his absence. Filipowski's return might send Collins back to the second unit, but he has also been productive coming off the bench, so this won't hurt his fantasy value too much.

Lauri Markkanen Back In Action Sunday

Utah Jazz forward Lauri Markkanen (back) will return from a one-game absence on Sunday versus Sacramento. Utah has upgraded him throughout the day, and he's now officially available for the contest. The Finnish star was a late scratch on Friday against Portland due to a back issue. Markkanen is Utah's leading scorer, averaging 19.2 points per game, and he should enjoy a productive comeback game in a meeting against a team that plays with the seventh-highest pace in the league and has a mediocre defense. The Kings gave up 25 points on 75 percent shooting to Markkanen in the previous head-to-head matchup.

Lauri Markkanen Will Not Play On Friday

Utah Jazz forward Lauri Markkanen (back) will not suit up for Friday's meeting with Portland. He has been ruled out for low back injury management purposes. Svi Mykhailiuk will fill in for Markkanen in the starting lineup. This is an interesting move, as the Jazz have so far used the Ukrainian in only four games this season. He's averaged 4.3 points in 12.3 minutes. With Markkanen unavailable, Brice Sensabaugh and Johnny Juzang should also have more opportunities to play. The latter has built up momentum ahead of Friday's action by scoring 10-plus points in back-to-back games.

Jordan Clarkson Out Again On Friday

Utah Jazz guard Jordan Clarkson (foot) remains sidelined while dealing with plantar fasciitis in his left foot. This will be the sixth consecutive game he's missed with the issue, but he's only been receiving around 26 minutes per contest when he's healthy. While he's out, Collin Sexton (finger) and Keyonte George will continue to see the bulk of the backcourt minutes. Johnny Juzang and Isaiah Collier have seen some minutes off of the bench too, but Sexton and George are the more reliable options. George, in his second season, averages 15.4 points, 5.7 assists, 3.1 rebounds, and 2.6 threes per contest.

Collin Sexton  • PG  •  Jazz

Collin Sexton Available On Friday Against Trail Blazers

Utah Jazz guard Collin Sexton (finger) is officially available for the Friday night matchup against the Portland Trail Blazers. The 25-year-old hasn't missed a single game yet this season and has started in each one except for two in October. He's averaging 16.9 points, 3.2 assists, 2.6 rebounds, 1.8 threes, and 2.5 turnovers per game. Sexton has been a decent contributor in deeper category leagues so far this year and he should continue that level of play with Jordan Clarkson (foot) continuing to miss games.

Micah Potter  • PF  •  Jazz

Micah Potter Likely Unavailable Versus Thunder

Utah Jazz forward/center Micah Potter (illness) has been downgraded to doubtful for Tuesday's matchup with the Thunder. The Jazz have been shorthanded lately, so Potter has played for at least 13 minutes in three consecutive contests. With the 26-year-old likely sidelined, players like Drew Eubanks, Brice Sensabaugh, and Svi Mykhailiuk could potentially see more playing time. However, they will not be factors in fantasy during Tuesday's contest.

Kyle Filipowski Ruled Out, Will Miss Sixth Straight Game

Utah Jazz center Kyle Filipowski (leg) has been ruled out of Tuesday night's game against the Utah Jazz. Filipowski will now miss his sixth straight game as he deals with a lower leg issue. The rookie has been okay in limited minutes, averaging 7.3 PPG and 4.7 RPG in 19 minutes per game this season. With Filipowski continuing to miss time, expect more minutes overall from Jazz big men Walker Kessler and John Collins. Off the bench, expect Drew Eubanks to get some minutes but he likely won't have a big impact overall. Kessler and Collins will make much stronger fantasy options for those in need.

Jordan Clarkson  • SG  •  Jazz

Jordan Clarkson Remains Out on Tuesday Against The Thunder

Jazz guard Jordan Clarkson (foot) will miss his fifth straight game on Tuesday as he continues to battle plantar fasciitis in his left foot. While Clarkson has been sidelined, Keyonte George and Collin Sexton have carried more work in the backcourt while rookie Isaiah Collier and Johnny Juzang have been able to get expanded time off the bench. Juzang had 11 points, five assists, and four rebounds in his 16 minutes against the Lakers on Sunday, and he'll remain an interesting punt play for DFS contests.

Kyle Filipowski Remains Out Versus Lakers

Utah Jazz forward/center Kyle Filipowski (leg) will miss a fifth consecutive game on Sunday against the Lakers. He continues to nurse a left leg injury. Filipowski had a decent run as a starter before getting sidelined and might continue to make noise once he's back. John Collins and Walker Kessler will once again do the heavy lifting on the Jazz frontcourt. The Lakers have one of the lowest rebounding rates in the league, making this a decent matchup for Utah's big men. Collins and Kessler each boast three double-doubles from their last four appearances.

Jordan Clarkson Remains On The Shelf Sunday

Utah Jazz guard Jordan Clarkson (foot) has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup against the Lakers. He'll be sitting out a fourth consecutive game. Clarkson has featured just once since Nov. 19 due to a foot problem. With him unavailable, Johnny Juzang and Isaiah Collier get to play more, but neither player has been a consistent source of fantasy value. Clarkson's absence also boosts the usage of Keyonte George and Collin Sexton. Both players are looking to produce a bounce-back performance on Sunday after combining for only 18 points in Saturday's 106-94 loss to Dallas.

John Collins Ruled Out Versus Denver

Utah Jazz forward/center John Collins (knee) won't play in Wednesday's game against the Nuggets. The veteran was initially labeled as questionable because of a knee contusion. Unfortunately, he was downgraded to out. The Jazz will be down some size versus Nikola Jokic, with Lauri Markkanen (personal) and Kyle Filipowski (leg) already ruled out. As a result, Walker Kessler could see more work than usual. Drew Eubanks and Brice Sensabaugh should also get more scoring chances.

John Collins  • PF  •  Jazz

John Collins Listed As Questionable Wednesday

Utah Jazz forward John Collins (knee) is questionable for Wednesday's contest with the Denver Nuggets due to a knee contusion. With Lauri Markkanen (personal) and Kyle Filipowski (leg) already ruled out, the Jazz could be quite shorthanded if the 27-year-old can't play. However, if he can give it a go, Collins could have significant fantasy value as he will be relied upon heavily with Markkanen sidelined.
Nov 27   
Kyle Filipowski  • C  •  Jazz

Kyle Filipowski Out Again Versus Denver

The Utah Jazz will be without forward/center Kyle Filipowski (leg) for a third straight game due to lower left-leg inflammation. In addition to Filipowski, the Jazz will also be without the services of Lauri Markkanen and possibly John Collins (knee), who is listed as questionable. With the 21-year-old Filipowski sidelined, a player like Drew Eubanks could see an uptick in minutes against Denver, but unfortunately, Eubanks doesn't bring much value fantasy-wise.

Lauri Markkanen  • PF  •  Jazz

Lauri Markkanen Ruled Out Wednesday

The Utah Jazz announced that forward Lauri Markkanen (personal) will not play against the Denver Nuggets on Wednesday for personal reasons. On Tuesday against the Spurs, the 27-year-old suffered a contusion on his left knee, forcing him to exit the contest early. However, the Jazz injury report shows no indication that he is sitting because of the injury. With Kyle Filipowski (leg) unavailable and John Collins (knee) listed as questionable, Walker Kessler and Brice Sensabaugh could see more time on the court than usual.

Kyle Filipowski Sits Out Second Consecutive Game

Utah Jazz forward/center Kyle Filipowski (ankle) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against San Antonio. He sprained his right ankle last week against the Spurs, and it's unclear when Utah will have Filipowski in the lineup again. Drew Eubanks benefits from Filipowski's absence but is not a good fantasy asset. John Collins and Walker Kessler will carry the Jazz frontcourt in Tuesday's tough game against Victor Wembanyama, who's the runaway leader of the league in blocks and will make scoring difficult around the rim.

Jordan Clarkson Back On The Shelf Tuesday

Utah Jazz guard Jordan Clarkson (foot) will exit the lineup on Tuesday versus San Antonio. He returned from a one-game absence on Saturday versus New York but struggled in the contest and will get at least one night off again. Clarkson was limited to only four points on 2-for-9 shooting against the Knicks. Johnny Juzang, who dropped four three-point bombs on Saturday, might see more minutes on the floor due to Clarkson's absence, with Isaiah Collier also looking at a slightly larger role off the bench. San Antonio allows the 12th-most bench points in the league, making this a decent matchup for Utah's second unit.
Nov 26   
Walker Kessler  • C  •  Jazz

Walker Kessler Might Return To Action Saturday

Utah Jazz center Walker Kessler (hip) has been listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Knicks. He will hope to return to the lineup after missing six games. John Collins has started alongside Kyle Filipowski (ankle) during Kessler's absence, but the two might now share the frontcourt, as Filipowski has been ruled out for Saturday's contest. If Kessler is not ready to return, Drew Eubanks and Brice Sensabaugh will take on larger roles, with one of them likely starting. However, the Knicks own outstanding defensive numbers against opposing frontcourts, so this isn't a good matchup for Utah's big men.
