Walker Kessler News
Utah Jazz center Walker Kessler (nose) will skip a fifth consecutive game on Friday versus the Clippers. He continues to recover from a nasal fracture. There's no John Collins (back) either for the Jazz, meaning a big dosage of Omer Yurtseven, Darius Bazley, and Luka Samanic on the frontcourt. The latter had the best game of the three on Thursday against Houston, producing a team-high 22 points with six rebounds, two assists, and a steal.
Utah Jazz center Walker Kessler (nose) will miss his fourth consecutive game on Thursday versus the Houston Rockets. Kessler is dealing with a nose fracture, and Utah is playing it safe with injuries since they have no chance of making the playoffs. The Jazz will have a limited roster against Houston with Kessler and multiple other rotation pieces out. Omer Yurtseven has started in Kessler's place, and he's averaged 13.3 points, 8.3 rebounds, and 1.0 steals on 61% field goal shooting in those three games. Utah is running out the season, and unexpected players like Yurtseven benefit from improved fantasy value to end the season.
Utah Jazz center Walker Kessler (nose) won't play on Sunday against Golden State. He fractured his nose during Utah's previous game versus the Cavaliers and didn't suit up for Friday's meeting with the Los Angeles Clippers. Omer Yurtseven got the start in that one, finishing with 12 points, seven boards, and one steal, making him an ideal DFS value option on Sunday night.
Utah Jazz center Walker Kessler (nose) has been ruled out ahead of Friday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. The big man will miss this game after suffering a fractured nose during Tuesday's contest. He'll be joined by fellow forward John Collins (back) who continues to sit due to a lingering injury. Omer Yurtseven is likely to play big minutes with the Jazz shorthanded for this game. He'll be someone worth targeting in fantasy leagues after playing 30 minutes during their last game.
