Gafford is set to return following a four-game absence. According to head coach Jason Kidd on Friday, “Gaff did shootaround. He did everything. He’ll be ready to go tomorrow.” Gafford’s return should send Dwight Powell back to the bench and eliminate the streaming appeal of he and Moussa Cissé.

If the Jazz were hoping to drum up trade interest for Nurkić ahead of the February 5 deadline, the last two games won’t hurt. On Thursday, the 7-footer became the first player to record triple-doubles in consecutive games in the franchise’s history in Utah. Counting the New Orleans years, Nurkić and the late, great Pete Maravich are the only Jazz players to record a triple-double in consecutive games. The concern at this point is the injury management nights, as Nurk has been a top-10 player in eight-cat formats over the past two weeks.

One game removed from recording his fourth 20-point game of the season, Bailey enjoyed the most productive night of his rookie campaign on Thursday. The 25 points are a new high for the lottery pick, who was also productive on the glass. Of course, category league managers would like to see some defensive production from Bailey, but he’s taking steps in the right direction.

George has scored at least 23 points in four straight and six of his last seven games, an impressive run for one of the NBA’s most improved players. Over the past two weeks, he has offered top-15 per-game value in eight-cat formats. While the Jazz are just 2-5 in their last seven games, the franchise is clearly prioritizing player development and its draft lottery odds. Hopefully, George will be safe from a late-season shutdown, but there’s no guarantee he will be, given how well he’s played this season.

Active after missing the previous three games, Washington was used in a reserve role on Thursday. The forward played 22 minutes, eight shy of the limit set by the team. Washington didn’t have a prolific scoring night, but he filled up the stat sheet, which was excellent for those who have him rostered in category leagues. Caleb Martin remained in the starting lineup but only played 19 minutes, going scoreless with two rebounds, one assist and two blocked shots. Those who streamed Martin when Washington was unavailable can move on.

Before Thursday’s game, Mavericks head coach Jason Kidd said that Flagg could be limited to 20-25 minutes. Key word: could. The rookie played 30 minutes and showed no signs of being hampered by the sprained left ankle he suffered last week. Flagg recorded his sixth double-double of the season, and he has provided sixth-round per-game value in eight-cat formats over the past month.

For the first time this season, Christie has scored at least 20 points in three consecutive games. And he’s flipped a switch since the holidays, with five of his six 20-point games occurring after Christmas. With Anthony Davis (hand) out for the foreseeable future, there will continue to be room for Christie to have a greater impact offensively. A top-100 player over the past two weeks, he’s rostered in 21 percent of Yahoo! leagues, and that number is too low.

A double-digit scorer in each of his last ten games, Marshall has scored 22 or more in four of his previous six. Thursday’s performance was one of the best of the Mavericks’ forward’s career, as he matched his season-high point total and finished one assist shy of a double-double. Over the past two weeks, Marshall has provided third-round per-game value in eight-cat formats. Rostered in 36 percent of Yahoo! leagues, Marshall should be added in more 12-team leagues.

Sensabaugh will be back following a two-game absence. Prior to that, he had averaged 31.7 points per game over a three-game stretch. Now back in the lineup, he’ll look to pick up where he left off. Cody Williams and Taylor Hendricks should lose out on minutes.

Gafford will miss a fourth consecutive game, leaving the Mavericks to once again rely on Dwight Powell and Moussa Cissé at the center position. While the former has been the starter, the latter offers a higher fantasy upside. At a minimum, Cissé is worth rostering in deep dynasty leagues.

Cissé was initially listed as questionable but was upgraded to probable earlier in the day. He has now officially been cleared, and with Daniel Gafford (ankle) sidelined, he should play an important role off the bench, where he has averaged 11.3 points, 10.7 rebounds and 2.3 blocks in 21.6 minutes per game over his last three outings.

Cissé had been listed as questionable, so this is a step in the right direction for him. Meanwhile, Daniel Gafford (ankle) has been downgraded to doubtful, so Cissé should get a nice run of minutes. However, the Warriors don’t often play a traditional center, so the Mavericks could get by with lots of minutes for Naji Marshall and not need Cissé as much on Thursday.

After totaling 95 points over three games, Sensabaugh has missed Utah’s last two due to illness. Kyle Filipowski’s playing time increased in Tuesday’s win over the Timberwolves, and that may happen again if Sensabaugh can’t play against the Spurs. Both players are worth rostering, as the “silly season” appears to be underway in Utah.

George, who went off for 43 points in Tuesday’s win over the Timberwolves, is dealing with a strained left forearm. If he’s unable to play, the Jazz will rely more on Isaiah Collier and Walter Clayton Jr. Of the two, Collier’s assist production makes him a slightly better streaming option.

Cissé, who has provided valuable contributions off the bench when the Mavericks have been shorthanded, is dealing with an illness. How impactful his absence would be depends on Daniel Gafford (ankle), who’s also listed as questionable for Thursday night.

Nurkić had had a double-double in five of his last eight games entering play Tuesday. Against the Timberwolves, the 31-year-old center had a triple-double with 16 points, 18 rebounds and 10 assists. Nurkić has been great for fantasy when he’s played, but missed three games due to Coach’s Decision. With the Jazz shorthanded, he should remain in the starting lineup for the time being.

Bailey had his first game with at least 20 points since November 24 against the Warrior, when he had 21 points. The 19-year-old small forward isn’t a fantasy star just yet.

George had 29 and 30 points in his last two games entering play Tuesday before dropping a career-high 43 points on the Timberwolves.

With two of Utah’s top scoring options out against Minnesota, Cody Williams and Ace Bailey could remain with the starting five. Kyle Filipowski, Isaiah Collier and Walter Clayton Jr. all saw upticks in playing time on Monday against the Spurs with Markkanen and Sensabaugh sidelined for that one, too. The Jazz have a plethora of options across the roster, so there’s no clear fantasy add here. Bailey represents the highest upside, while Collier has been a steady contributor in the assists category. Clayton Jr. is an intriguing add in deeper fantasy leagues.

Filipowski had been starting the last three games for Utah, but with Jusuf Nurkić back in the rotation, he started and pushed Filipowski to the bench. Still, he was still productive in 26 minutes. Over his last four games, Filipowski has averaged 13.3 points, 7.3 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1.8 steals per game. He remains a worthy stash option, but he should still provide some value right now.

After three games as a DNP- Coach’s Decision, Nurkić returned to the starting lineup for Utah. When he’s played as of late, Nurkić has been quite productive, and that continued in this game, despite a lack of defensive production, which has been vital to Nurkić’s value this season. Unfortunately, the inconsistency of his place in the rotation lately has made things difficult for fantasy managers. If he plays against the Timberwolves on Tuesday, he should make a big impact, but there’s no guarantee that happens.

Cissé wasn’t in the starting lineup on Monday, but the rookie center had one of his best games of the season.

Making his first appearance at Madison Square Garden as an NBA player, Flagg had a solid evening at the office as the Mavs blew out the Knicks. Over the past two weeks, the rookie has been close to a top-50 player in eight-cat formats.

Two significant issues became apparent for the Knicks early in Monday’s game: they couldn’t run Max Christie off the line, and they couldn’t keep Marshall out of the paint. Naji shot 6-of-12 from inside the arc, with a 1-of-6 mark from three negatively affecting his overall field-goal percentage. Providing sixth-round value in eight-cat formats over the past two weeks, Marshall is worth rostering, especially with P.J. Washington and Anthony Davis sidelined.

Christie put on a three-point shooting clinic in the first half of Monday’s game, making six of his seven attempts. The Mavericks guard would end the game with a career-best eight three-pointers and a season-high point total. In fact, Christie has scored at least 20 in consecutive games for the first time this season. With Anthony Davis out, there’s a need for scoring, and that makes Christie worth a look in deeper fantasy formats.

Though it was an inefficient shooting night for George, he was able to get to the free throw line enough to reach the 30-point mark in the loss. This came after he had 29 points on Saturday, though neither game resulted in a win for Utah. They’ll head home after a five-game road trip for a matchup with the Timberwolves on Tuesday. George has been the focal point of the offense with Lauri Markkanen sidelined for their last four games and will look to bounce back against Minnesota.

A double-figure scorer in three straight games, Bailey’s performance on Saturday was his best since returning from a hip injury.

He and Walter Clayton Jr. (15/2/8/1 with one three-pointer) played at least 29 minutes in Dallas, and that’s possible due to head coach Will Hardy’s willingness to play multiple point guards at the same time.
