Keyonte George

UTA Point Guard #3

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Keyonte George (left foot soreness) is questionable for Saturday’s game against San Antonio.

George has not missed a game this season, but that could change on Saturday. The good news for Utah is that neither Collin Sexton nor Jordan Clarkson is on the initial injury report, and that could be the starting backcourt if George sits. Johnny Juzang and Patty Mills can absorb some of George’s minutes, but neither will be worth the streaming risk.
Jordan Clarkson

UTA Point Guard #00

Jordan Clarkson shot 5-of-11 from the field and 4-of-4 from the foul line in Thursday’s loss to Milwaukee, accumulating 18 points, four rebounds, two assists, and four 3-pointers in 21 minutes.

After a two-game absence, Clarkson looked sharp in his 21 minutes on the floor. The lingering question is whether or not the playing time represents JC’s ceiling, especially with starter Collin Sexton (14 points, two rebounds, seven assists, and two 3-pointers) playing 27 minutes. Off to a slow start to the season before the heel injury, Clarkson needs more minutes if he’s to be a factor in standard leagues.
Lauri Markkanen

UTA Power Forward #23

Lauri Markkanen (back spasms) finished Thursday’s loss to the Bucks with eight points (3-of-10 FGs), seven rebounds, four assists, two steals, and two 3-pointers in 29 minutes.

Active after missing three games due to back spasms, Markkanen struggled in Milwaukee. However, fantasy managers should take solace in him playing 29 minutes without issue. He’ll have better nights offensively. As for Kyle Filipowski, who filled in for Markkanen, the rookie only played three minutes on Thursday. There’s no need to keep Filipowski on your fantasy roster.
Collin Sexton

UTA Shooting Guard #2

Keyonte George, Collin Sexton, Cody Williams, Lauri Markkanen, and Walker Kessler will start Thursday’s game against the Bucks.

Markkanen returns from a lower back injury, and in addition to starting, his minutes will not be restricted (the same goes for reserves Jordan Clarkson and Isaiah Collier). Sexton will retain his place in the starting lineup while Williams continues to fill the void left by the injured Taylor Hendricks.
Isaiah Collier

UTA Point Guard #13

Isaiah Collier (right hamstring strain) is available for Thursday’s game against Milwaukee.

Injured during the preseason, Collier is available to make his official NBA debut on Thursday. However, fantasy managers should not expect much from him, as Keyonte George, Collin Sexton, and Jordan Clarkson are all available and will play rotation minutes.
Lauri Markkanen

UTA Power Forward #23

Lauri Markkanen (back spasms) and Jordan Clarkson (left hee plantar fasciitis) are available for Thursday’s game against the Bucks.

Markkanen and Clarkson have missed three and two games, respectively, due to their injuries. The returns mean Kyle Filipowski and Collin Sexton are headed to the bench, with the latter having a chance of sticking ahead of Clarkson. Filipowski won’t fall out of the rotation entirely, but his minutes will take a significant hit.
Lauri Markkanen

UTA Power Forward #23

Lauri Markkanen (back spasms) and Jordan Clarkson (left heel plantar fasciitis) are both probable for Thursday’s matchup with Milwaukee.

Markkanen has missed three straight games, and Clarkson has missed two in a row, but both players are expected to be available Thursday. It’s unclear if they’ll face any restrictions upon their return.
Lauri Markkanen

UTA Power Forward #23

Lauri Markkanen (back) and Jordan Clarkson (foot) are questionable for Thursday’s game against the Bucks.

Markkanen has missed the last three games with back spasms, but was able to get in a full practice on Wednesday. Similarly, Clarkson was able to practice as well on Wednesday despite a heel injury. Barring a setback, these two are on track to suit up Thursday against the Bucks. Kyle Filipowski will head to the bench upon Markkanen’s return.
Lauri Markkanen

UTA Power Forward #23

Lauri Markkanen (back spasms) and Isaiah Collier (right hamstring strain) were able to practice fully on Wednesday.

Markkanen has missed Utah’s last three games, while Collier has yet to make his NBA debut. Going through a full practice doesn’t guarantee anything, but it appears that they’re on track to return to the lineup for Thursday’s game in Milwaukee. Utah is coming off their first win of the season on Monday night, and the added reinforcements will give them a better chance of making it two in a row. Collier’s return won’t dramatically impact the backcourt rotation, but Kyle Filipowski will likely return to a reserve role when Markkanen is back in the lineup.
John Collins

UTA Power Forward #20

John Collins provided a boost off the bench on Monday with 28 points (12-of-17 FGs), 13 rebounds, five assists and two 3-pointers against the Bulls.

Collins has had a solid season for Utah as a reserve, but this was by far his best game of the year. It was his first game without a defensive stat after he had exactly one steal and one block in every previous game. However, he set season-highs for points, rebounds and field goal percentage and tied his season-high for dimes. Collins won’t have games like this often, but it isn’t because he’s not capable. The Jazz are prioritizing their youth movement, which could make Collins expendable at the trade deadline. Until then, he’ll be a solid option that will occasionally pop off like this.
