Ace Bailey Sidelined on Thursday

According to Ben Anderson of KSL News, Salt Lake City, Utah Jazz guard/forward Ace Bailey (hip) is unavailable for Thursday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. Bailey will be out of action for the second game of a back-to-back set this evening. The 19-year-old rookie should be back on the floor for Saturday's matchup with the Hornets. With Bailey sidelined, Brice Sensabaugh could be a solid streaming option across most fantasy formats during tonight's tilt.

Kevin Love Available For Thursday

Utah Jazz forward/center Kevin Love (rest) is set to suit up against the Dallas Mavericks on Thursday. Love has had the last two games off to rest, but he will return to action this evening. Jusuf Nurkic (toe) is listed as questionable, and if he's unable to play, Love could see extended minutes in his return. The 37-year-old veteran center has averaged 9.3 points, 6.3 rebounds and 1.9 assists in 20.3 minutes per game in his last 10 outings.

Jusuf Nurkic Questionable For Thursday Against Mavs

Utah Jazz center Jusuf Nurkic (toe) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. Nurkic may miss the second half of a back-to-back set due to injury maintenance for a left toe sprain. On Wednesday, the 31-year-old big man racked up 15 points, 15 rebounds, four assists, one block, and three steals across 33 minutes during a 129-125 loss to the Thunder. If Nurkic is unable to suit up, center Kyle Filipowski will take on a heavier workload than usual this evening.

Ace Bailey Considered Questionable Versus Dallas

Utah Jazz guard/forward Ace Bailey (hip) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. Bailey returned on Wednesday against the Thunder after missing five consecutive contests due to a left hip flexor strain. However, he may sit out the back end of back-to-back games this evening. If the 19-year-old rookie is unavailable, Brice Sensabaugh and Svi Mykhailiuk will likely take on extra minutes during tonight's tilt.

Lauri Markkanen Back on Saturday Night

Utah Jazz forward Lauri Markkanen (knee) is available for Saturday's game at Golden State. He didn't suit up for the recent 118-101 loss to the Clippers. Svi Mykhailiuk entered the starting lineup, finishing with five points, two boards, and one assist in 24 minutes. With Keyonte George (illness) also back in action, Mykhailiuk will likely return to the bench. As far as Markkanen is concerned, fantasy managers can get him back in their lineups, although he might be less productive than usual versus a Warriors team that has been sound defensively throughout the campaign.

Keyonte George Available Versus Golden State

Utah Jazz guard Keyonte George (illness) will suit up for Saturday's game at Golden State after missing his first contest of the 2025 campaign on Thursday in the loss to the Los Angeles Clippers. The 22-year-old is having a fantastic season, averaging 24.6 points, 6.8 assists, 4.3 rebounds, and 37.4% shooting from behind the arc, all career-highs. His return should mean less work for Walter Clayton Jr., who logged 30 minutes versus the Clippers. However, the rookie may still stay involved, considering Ace Bailey (hip) remains out. Unfortunately, Clayton's fantasy outlook isn't favorable in a meeting with one of the NBA's top defensive squads.

Jusuf Nurkic Dealing with Toe Injury Ahead of Saturday

Utah Jazz center Jusuf Nurkic (toe) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Warriors after sitting out Thursday versus the Clippers with a left toe sprain. If Nurkic remains sidelined, Kyle Filipowski would likely draw another start, but his fantasy profile remains unstable. Over his last five games, Filipowski has averaged 9.4 points, 5.8 rebounds, and 2.2 assists in 22.0 minutes, mixing a 25-point outing in 35 minutes with a two-point performance in 11 minutes. He profiles as a risky streaming option with highly volatile game-to-game production.

Lauri Markkanen Could Miss Second Straight Game

Utah Jazz forward Lauri Markkanen (knee) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Warriors and could miss a second straight contest with a left knee contusion. If Markkanen remains sidelined, minutes would be redistributed across the frontcourt, but no clear fantasy replacement has emerged. Brice Sensabaugh, Kyle Filipowski, and Taylor Hendricks would all see expanded run, though each remains highly inconsistent and matchup-dependent. Sensabaugh provides the most scoring upside, with Filipowski and Hendricks needing steady minutes to return fantasy value.

Keyonte George Could Miss Another Game with Illness

Utah Jazz guard Keyonte George (illness) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Golden State Warriors after missing Thursday versus the Clippers, with a decision expected closer to tipoff. George has been on a major run, delivering first-round nine-category value by averaging 28.0 points, 5.6 rebounds, 6.4 assists, 1.4 steals, and 4.0 three-pointers in 35.3 minutes. If he sits, Isaiah Collier becomes the primary beneficiary after posting 16 points and 10 assists in 37 minutes last game, while Walter Clayton Jr. logged nine points and three assists in 30 minutes.

Ace Bailey to Miss Another Game Saturday vs. Warriors

Utah Jazz guard/forward Ace Bailey (hip) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Warriors and is targeting a return Monday versus the Trail Blazers. Bailey's absence does not create a clear waiver pickup, but it loosens minutes and secondary usage across the Jazz rotation, especially with Keyonte George (illness), Lauri Markkanen (knee), and Jusuf Nurkic (toe) all questionable. Isaiah Collier stands out as the most reliable short-term fantasy option due to his assist upside, while Brice Sensabaugh, Walter Clayton Jr., and Svi Mykhailiuk remain deep-league fliers tied to lineup clarity.

Ace Bailey Still Out on Thursday Night

Utah Jazz guard Ace Bailey (hip) remains out for Thursday's meeting with the Clippers, marking his third-straight absence. With Keyonte George (illness), Lauri Markkanen (knee), and Jusuf Nurkic (toe) also ruled out, Bailey would have been in line for a significant bump on the offensive end. However, since he's sidelined as well, Walter Clayton Jr. and Isaiah Collier should see all the minutes they can handle, with Svi Mykhailiuk also likely being more involved on both ends of the floor.

Lauri Markkanen Ruled Out on Thursday

Utah Jazz forward Lauri Markkanen (knee) will not play on Thursday against the Clippers. He had 22 points, nine boards, two steals, and one block in Tuesday's loss to the Boston Celtics. However, the veteran won't suit up for this one because of knee soreness. Keyonte George (illness), Ace Bailey (hip), and Jusuf Nurkic (toe) are also sidelined on Thursday evening, meaning players like Brice Sensabaugh, Kyle Filipowski, Isaiah Collier, and Walter Clayton Jr. should all surpass their usual statistical projections despite a challenging matchup on the horizon.

Keyonte George Unavailable on Thursday

Utah Jazz guard Keyonte George (illness) will miss Thursday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers due to an illness. This evening's contest will be the first the 22-year-old has missed all season long. George is averaging a career-high 24.6 points, 6.8 assists, and 4.3 boards across 32 outings this campaign. His next chance to suit up comes on Saturday against Golden State. With Lauri Markkanen (knee) also ruled out, Isaiah Collier, Walter Clayton Jr., Kyle Filipowski, and Brice Sensabaugh could be fairly productive fantasy-wise during tonight's tilt.

Lauri Markkanen on the Injury Report for Thursday Night

Utah Jazz forward Lauri Markkanen (knee) is questionable ahead of Thursday's game against the Clippers. The veteran was available on Tuesday in the loss to the Boston Celtics, amassing 22 points, nine rebounds, two steals, and one block in 38 minutes of action. With Keyonte George (illness) questionable, and Jusuf Nurkic (toe) and Ace Bailey (hip) already ruled out, the Jazz may need guys like Brice Sensabaugh, Kyle Filipowski, Isaiah Collier, and Walter Clayton Jr. to step things up on both ends of the floor. .

Keyonte George Battling an Illness, Might Miss Thursday's Game

Utah Jazz guard Keyonte George (illness) is questionable for the meeting with the Clippers on Thursday night. He's having an excellent 2025 campaign, averaging a career-high 24.6 points, 6.8 assists, and 4.3 boards. The 22-year-old is also coming off one of his most productive games of the season, amassing 37 points in Tuesday's loss to the Boston Celtics. If Lauri Markkanen (knee) can't suit up, George could be in line for additional scoring opportunities, making him a more enticing fantasy option. That will apply to Markkanen if George is ruled out. However, if both players are sidelined, Isaiah Collier, Walter Clayton Jr., Kyle Filipowski, and Brice Sensabaugh might all smash their usual fantasy projections despite a challenging matchup.

Jusuf Nurkic Won't Play on Thursday Evening

Utah Jazz center Jusuf Nurkic (toe) won't suit up for Thursday's meeting with the Los Angeles Clippers. The 2014 No. 16 overall pick is averaging close to a double-double this season, most recently amassing 26 points, eight rebounds, and eight assists on Tuesday in the loss to the Boston Celtics. It's unknown when he suffered the MTP joint sprain. More importantly, it's unknown how long he'll be sidelined. With Kevin Love (rest) also ruled out, the Jazz are expected to roll with Kyle Filipowski at the five. The 22-year-old has played well in his 11 starts throughout the 2025 campaign, logging 11.8 points and 7.2 boards per contest. With Utah projected to be the second-lowest scoring club on Thursday's slate, Filipowski may have a tough time being more productive than that, although it could happen if Keyonte George (illness) and/or Lauri Markkanen (knee), who are both questionable, can't get on the floor.

Keyonte George Active Tuesday

Utah Jazz guard Keyonte George (illness) is set to suit up for Tuesday's matchup with the Boston Celtics. The 22-year-old has been feeling under the weather but has been cleared to play. George is averaging a career-high 24.2 points and 6.8 assists across 31 games this season. He provides plenty of fantasy value for this evening's contest as he has finished with at least 20 points in his last eight appearances.

Kevin Love Sits Out Meeting With Celtics

Utah Jazz forward/center Kevin Love (rest) won't play on Tuesday against the Boston Celtics. The veteran will be rested for a second straight game. Kyle Filipowski, Taylor Hendricks, and Cody Williams have more fantasy appeal with Love out of the lineup. Of the three players, Filipowski has had the most success on the court this season, though his recent performances have been underwhelming. In Saturday's win over the San Antonio Spurs, Filipowski had six points, three rebounds, six assists, two steals, and one block in 22 minutes.

Ace Bailey Out for Second Straight Game

Utah Jazz guard/forward Ace Bailey (hip) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Boston Celtics. A left hip flexor strain will keep him sidelined for a second consecutive contest. Bailey's absence from the lineup gave Brice Sensabaugh a starting spot on Saturday night against the San Antonio Spurs. He finished the game with nine points, four rebounds, and three assists, shooting 3-for-5 from downtown. Sensabaugh has a great touch from outside, and he could be more involved in the offense on Tuesday if Keyonte George (illness) doesn't shake off a questionable tag.

Keyonte George May Exit the Lineup Tuesday

Utah Jazz guard Keyonte George (illness) is considered questionable for Tuesday's clash against the Boston Celtics. He is feeling under the weather and may skip his first game of the season. It has been a monster campaign for the 22-year-old, who has upped his scoring production from 16.8 points per game to a career-high 24.2. George has greatly improved his efficiency and is doing a better job as a playmaker, posting 6.8 assists per game, also a career high. If George sits out Tuesday's action, Isaiah Collier would see a much larger workload, while the rest of the starting group would have additional offensive touches.
