Tuesday’s game will be the third Green has missed since injuring his left shoulder during an April 2 loss to the Pacers. While DaQuan Jeffries made one start in his absence, Josh Okogie was the choice for Sunday’s loss to the Bulls. Neither player has been consistent enough to merit being streamed in Green’s absence.

After scoring 29 points on 11-of-25 shooting across his two prior appearances, George exploded in Atlanta. The 35 points were a season-high for the Jazz guard, who has three games of 30 or more to his credit. However, while George has averaged just under 18 points per game over the past two weeks, he’s only shooting 39 percent from the field. Add in the limited defensive production, and George has only been a late-round player in 12-team leagues over the past two weeks.

Collier has reached double digits in assists in two of his last three appearances, with Sunday’s total being one shy of his season-high. While his shooting has been inconsistent, the rookie’s had an excellent season in the assist category. His total of 446 assists is a Jazz rookie record, with John Stockton being the previous record holder with 415. The season’s final three games will be crucial for Collier, who continues to do what he can to show he’s capable of running the team in the future.

Sexton has scored 27 points in two straight games, and the Jazz guard has recorded 20 or more in four of his last five. Over the past two weeks, he is ranked just outside the top 50 in nine-cat formats and has been a top-75 player in eight-cat. For Sexton managers whose leagues run through Week 23, he’ll have solid fantasy value as the Jazz continue to play him starters’ minutes. However, Utah only plays three games next week, starting with the Trail Blazers on Wednesday.

Sunday’s start was the sixth for Simpson since the Hornets ruled LaMelo Ball (wrist, ankle) out for the rest of the season. While the rookie’s fantasy prospects for next season don’t appear promising, these games allow KJ to show he can potentially serve as Ball’s backup. Sunday’s performance was arguably his best of the season, with Simpson tallying a season-high 18 points. Rostered in two percent of Yahoo! leagues, KJ has provided ninth-round value in eight-cat formats over his last six games.

After missing Friday’s loss to the Kings, Williams was back in the starting lineup on Sunday. He held his own in the matchup with Nikola Vucevic, falling one rebound shy of a double-double while shooting well over 50 percent from the field. While the Hornets play four games during the final week of the regular season, it begins with a Tuesday/Wednesday back-to-back. Williams managers whose leagues will be active should plan for him missing one of those games. As a result, Jusuf Nurkic (18 points, three rebounds, one block and two three-pointers in 16 minutes) could make another start before the season ends.

Okogie and Williams will replace DaQuan Jeffries and Jusuf Nurkic for Sunday’s game. It’s unclear how much Okogie will play, but Williams should carry his usual starter workload.

Martin is set to miss a second straight game due to illness. Micah Potter could be in for another significant bench role against Atlanta to wrap up the weekend. He logged minutes off the pine against Indiana in Utah’s last game.

Williams was a late scratch for Friday’s loss to the Kings, with his absence opening up a place in the starting lineup for Jusuf Nurkic. However, Williams’ absence was more impactful on Moussa Diabate, who recorded a double-double off the bench. As for Smith, Seth Curry has been the starter for the games he has missed, and that would remain the case if the second-year guard remains out.

Martin did not play in Friday’s game against the Pacers, which led to Micah Potter playing 24 minutes off the bench. He may be in for a similar workload if KJ remains unavailable, but that is not enough to make Potter a player worth streaming in most leagues.

Kessler will remain out for another game. He’s in the league’s concussion protocol and has a broken nose. Kyle Filipowski should remain the starting center, which raises his fantasy ceiling. Given the nature of Kessler’s injury, it would be surprising if he played again this season, especially with the Jazz prioritizing their draft lottery odds.

Juzang moved into the starting lineup with Walker Kessler (concussion) out Friday. The 24-year-old shooting guard played 36 minutes in the loss to the Pacers. He took plenty of shots, but had just 17 points. Juzang connected on 5-of-12 three-pointers. He was just okay as a streamer in deeper formats, which was to be expected.

Sexton’s minutes have been up and down lately as the Jazz try to take a look at some younger players. He played 33 minutes Friday against the Pacers and was able to score 27 points. The outing was a bit of an anomaly for Sexton as he shot just 8-of-15 from the field, but got to the foul line 10 times and knocked down nine free throws to boost his total. The 26-year-old shooting guard is certainly capable of scoring upwards of 20 points a game consistently, but the Jazz don’t seem all that interested in giving him the opportunity every night.
CHA • Forward • #14

The Hornets played Friday’s game without Mark Williams. And while Jusuf Nurkic (eight points, eight rebounds, three assists and one blocked shot in 24 minutes) was his replacement in the starting lineup, the change also freed up additional opportunities for Diabate. The third-year big man took advantage, recording his seventh double-double of the season and his first since March 8. Given Williams’s injury history, Diabate will have a few more opportunities before the season ends.

Simpson has started Charlotte’s last five games, reaching double figures in points on three occasions. During this period, the rookie point guard has averaged 11.0 points, 3.8 rebounds, 4.2 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.6 three-pointers while shooting 39.3 percent from the field. While that has only been good for 13th-round value in eight-cat formats, the opportunity makes Simpson worth a look for deep-league managers desperate for an available point guard. The Hornets end Week 22 at home against the Bulls on Sunday.

At this stage in the season, Bridges is Charlotte’s only healthy fantasy-relevant player. While he did score a team-high 22 points against the Kings, the Hornets forward had a rough night shooting the basketball. Bridges was 2-of-11 from beyond the arc, which did a number on his overall field-goal percentage. Over the past two weeks, Miles has provided 10th-round value in eight-cat formats and is ranked outside the top 150 in nine-cat. Charlotte ends Week 22 with a home game against the Bulls on Sunday.

The Jazz are without Walker Kessler (concussion) for Friday’s game, and his absence opens up a spot in the starting lineup. Juzang will fill the void, with Filipowski shifting to the center position. The former is worth streaming consideration in deep leagues, while the latter is already rostered in some standard leagues.

Curry has dealt with knee and back issues lately, but is set to start for the Hornets against the Kings Friday. Gibson, who was probable with an illness, could have a bigger role Friday with Mark Williams out, but isn’t fantasy-relevant at this point in his career.

A late addition to the Hornets’ injury report, Williams will not play, and his absence is more impactful than Smith’s regarding fantasy basketball. Jusuf Nurkic will likely move into the starting lineup, and Moussa Diabate should also have more minutes available. As for Smith, he did not play in Wednesday’s loss to the Pacers, resulting in Seth Curry moving into the starting lineup. Curry should retain that role against the Kings.

Williams was initially listed as probable, but has since been downgraded to questionable with thoracic muscle spasms just hours before game-time.

Martin has averaged just over 21 minutes per game across his last six, so his absence will free up some rotational minutes for the likes of Brice Sensabaugh and Kyle Filipowski. With Walker Kessler (concussion) sidelined, Martin likely would have started if he was available. That opportunity will now likely fall to either Johnny Juzang or Svi Mykhailiuk.

Kessler played on Wednesday after missing Utah’s two previous games with an illness. However, he is now listed as out due to a nasal fracture that also has him in concussion protocols. With 10 days left in the regular season, it wouldn’t be surprising if Kessler didn’t suit up again this season. KJ Martin should return to the starting lineup, with Kyle Filipowski sliding over to center.

Sims, who went undrafted in 2022, has played well over the last three seasons for the Greensboro Swarm, Charlotte’s G League affiliate. He has averaged 19.1 points, 5.3 rebounds and 2.7 assists in 49 appearances for them this season and will now get the chance to finish the season with the Hornets, since this contract will take him through the regular season finale. He may get the chance to make his NBA debut against the Kings on Friday.

After a two-game absence, Kessler returned to the Jazz lineup and played 28 minutes on Wednesday. He did fill out the stat sheet, which, unfortunately, included a 1-of-5 night at the foul line. The inconsistent availability has negatively impacted Kessler’s fantasy value, as he’s ranked well outside the top 150 in eight- and nine-cat formats over the past two weeks. Of course, fantasy managers who have him rostered aren’t going to drop Kessler, nor should they. That said, Kyle Filipowski has been far more reliable recently, and he’s only rostered in 39 percent of Yahoo! leagues. The rookie struggled on Wednesday, shooting 3-of-14 from the field and dropping a 6/11/1/2/2 line, but he’s provided ninth-round value over the past two weeks.

Sexton returned to the Jazz lineup after missing Monday’s loss to the Hornets and was solid in his 24 minutes on the court. While he’s still rostered in 77 percent of Yahoo! leagues, the issue for fantasy managers is that the Jazz essentially know what they have in Sexton. As a result, he’s not playing starters’ minutes despite being in the starting lineup. Johnny Juzang, bumped to the bench with Sexton back in the lineup, finished Wednesday’s defeat with five points, two rebounds, two assists, one steal and one three-pointer in 23 minutes, shooting 2-of-11 from the field.

Sure, there aren’t many positives to take from a 143-105 defeat. However, Collier’s performance was arguably his best of the season. Not only did the rookie shoot over 50 percent from the field and score 22 points, but he also dished out 10 assists and did not commit a turnover. With Collier committing at least four turnovers in four of his previous five appearances, this was a welcome performance from the first-round pick out of USC. Given how Jazz coach Will Hardy has handled the minutes, it appears the team feels better about Collier at the point than 2023 first-round pick Keyonte George. George has not started a game since January 22, and he finished Wednesday’s loss with 14 points, one rebound and three three-pointers in 27 minutes.

Bridges played just 24 minutes in the Hornets’ 14-point loss. The 27-year-old small forward is the primary offensive option for Charlotte with LaMelo Ball and Brandon Miller sidelined. Bridges was efficient with 18 points on 10 shots including two made three-pointers. He’s scored at least 20 points in just three of his last nine games, but should have a higher scoring ceiling as the No. 1 option for the Hornets.

Williams once again had no production on the defensive end, but was efficient on offense and pulled down over 10 rebounds. The 23-year-old center isn’t a one-trick pony, but his skillset is limited to scoring and rebounding. He’s quite valuable in those areas, though. The main drawback for Williams and his fantasy managers is that he continues to manage a foot injury that won’t go away before the end of the regular season.

Green had three points in eight minutes before a shoulder injury knocked him out for the rest of the game in the first half Wednesday against the Pacers.

Ball underwent successful procedures on his right ankle and right wrist early this week. Unfortunately, injuries have been a significant factor in the Hornets guard’s career, as he’s surpassed 55 games once in his first five seasons. While Ball does possess a high fantasy ceiling, the injury woes make him challenging to trust in most leagues. Some managers may be willing to use a top-50 pick on him in the fall, while others would prefer to leave that dice roll to someone else.

Fantasy managers who have Markkanen rostered should operate under the assumption that he won’t help them during Week 22. If he returns, that’s great, but the Jazz forward’s minutes will likely be capped. Williams is also unavailable and will miss another opportunity to play rotation minutes.

Filipowski got another start with Walker Kessler and Lauri Markkanen out against the Hornets Monday. The 21-year-old power forward was hardly efficient on offense, going 2-of-8 from behind the three-point line. That was a little out of character for a player shooting 51 percent on the season, including 38 percent behind the arc. He should continue to hold value in deeper formats as long as he’s in the starting lineup.

Sensabaugh got the start Monday with Collin Sexton and Cody Williams out. The 21-year-old small forward played just 26 minutes, but was efficient and went 5-of-10 from behind the three-point line. With Jordan Clarkson out for the rest of the season, Sensabaugh should see a decent amount of minutes over the rest of the season whether he’s starting or not. He’s returning ninth-round value over the last two weeks and is a decent streamer for the moment.

Green missed Sunday’s game with soreness in his left shoulder, but returned to the starting lineup Monday against the Jazz. The 24-year-old small forward played 26 minutes in the four-point victory.

He’d had at least 20 points in just two of his last seven games entering play Monday, but has a higher scoring ceiling with Ball sidelined.

Sexton has scored 20 points or more in two straight and three of his last five appearances. However, he did not provide much value outside of points on Friday, shooting 1-of-4 from beyond the arc. Sexton scored while backcourt partner Isaiah Collier did the passing, as the rookie finished with three points, three rebounds, seven assists and one steal in 32 minutes.

Rostered in 29 percent of Yahoo! leagues, Filipowski has offered 11th-round value in eight-cat formats over the past two weeks. While that isn’t excellent fantasy value, the situation in Utah is such that the rookie big is one of the few players who can be relied upon. Filipowski has scored 13 points or more in four straight outings and has hit double figures in rebounds six times since February 28. The Jazz won’t play again during Week 21, but they have four games on the Week 22 schedule.
