Sensabaugh scored at least 20 points for the third time in Utah’s last four games. While he hasn’t done much else consistently, he has proven to be an effective scorer throughout his first three seasons in the NBA. With Lauri Markkanen (hip) set to miss at least two weeks, Sensabaugh’s offense off the bench will be vital for the Jazz. Expect him to have more big performances down the stretch.

After being held to four points in Monday’s loss, Bailey got back on track in this one. This was the second-highest scoring outing of his career, surpassed only by his 25-point game against the Spurs last month. With Lauri Markkanen (hip) set to miss at least two weeks, Bailey should be the focal point of the offense for Utah, which should lead to more outings like this one.

Konchar got the starting nod with Lauri Markkanen (hip) set to miss at least two weeks. He continued to not provide much production, outside of steals. He is averaging 3.8 steals over his last four games and should continue to provide plenty of swipes. However, managers that need more than that should be cautious about rostering him, even if he’s starting.

Markkanen injured his hip and ankle in practice on Wednesday, but it’s the hip that will force him to miss time. He underwent an MRI that “showed symptomatic hip impingement with associated inflammation and bone bruise.” He’ll miss at least eight games, though he could certainly remain out longer. John Konchar is starting in his place on Thursday.

With Lauri Markkanen set to miss some time with ankle and hip injuries, Konchar will replace him in the starting unit. This will be his second start with the Jazz, with the other coming in his return to Memphis, where he finished with six points, six rebounds, four assists and four steals in 31 minutes. He has 10 steals over his last three games, but he can’t be relied on for much else.

Gibson finished last season with the Hornets, starting 11 of the 37 games that he appeared in. He’s back in the NBA for a 17th season, joining the Grizzlies for the rest of the season. Due to Memphis’s lack of healthy post players, the 40-year-old may play legitimate rotation minutes. However, there’s no need to consider adding Gibson.

It’s also possible that Markkanen will miss the remainder of the season following injuries suffered in practice this week. However, the NBA is allegedly set to send an independent doctor to review Markkanen’s MRI results to ensure the severity of the injury. He should be held in all fantasy leagues until that official word comes down. Brice Sensabaugh figures to pick up some of the offensive lack with Markkanen out.

Small, the 48th overall pick in last June’s draft, made his first career start on Wednesday. And the Grizzlies’ guard had a good night, shooting 75 percent from the field and not committing any turnovers in his 28 minutes. Having appeared in 24 games, Small should have the space needed to avoid running up against the 50-game limit for two-way players before the end of the season. There are better options for fantasy managers, most notably Ty Jerome, but Small is worth watching for dynasty league managers seeking some value in deep leagues.

Back in the lineup after sitting out Monday’s loss to the Kings, Jerome produced another efficient stat line in 24 minutes of play. As long as he’s available, the Grizzlies’ guard needs to be rostered in 12-team leagues. It’s unknown when Ja Morant will return from his elbow injury, so Jerome should retain excellent value until then, at a minimum.

Markkanen suffered ankle and hip injuries during Wednesday’s practice, casting some doubt on his availability for Thursday’s game.

The team hasn’t made an official statement yet, but it seems like Markkanen is set to miss some time, depending on the result of the MRI.

Jerome did not play in Monday’s loss to the Kings, opening up a spot in the starting lineup for Scotty Pippen Jr. Jerome’s return may push Pippen and Cam Spencer to the bench, with the latter being replaced by Walter Clayton Jr. based on how Grizzlies head coach Tuomas Iisalo handled the rotation when all four were available for Saturday’s loss to the Heat.

Markkanen led the way for the Jazz with 29 points in Monday’s loss to the Rockets. The 28-year-old power forward didn’t have the best shooting game, going 10-of-23 from the field.

Pippen didn’t make a shot from the field, going 0-of-8 with his only points coming from the free throw line. He also had eight assists, but turned the ball over seven times. Pippen was a force on the defensive end with five steals, which only added to the up and down nature of his performance.

In a move that should shock nobody, another member of the Jazz has been shut down for the season. Nurkić’s absence should free up plenty of playing time for Kyle Filipowski, but Utah’s rotations have no rhyme or reason as the team looks to win as few games as possible down the stretch.

Due to nose injury management, Nurkić will miss a second consecutive game. Kyle Filipowski started Friday’s loss to the Grizzlies, playing 28 minutes.

While Jerome remains under a minutes restriction, he played a season-high 22 minutes on Saturday. As was the case in his prior six appearances, the Grizzlies’ guard had a productive night, although he did struggle with his shot. Saturday’s game was the first in which the Grizzlies started Jerome and Walter Clayton Jr. together, with the rookie accounting for nine points, four rebounds, six assists and one three-pointer in 25 minutes. That is something to keep an eye on moving forward, especially if Ja Morant (elbow) doesn’t return.

A double-digit scorer in each of his last nine games, Wells matched his season-high with 25 points on Saturday. And he was highly efficient, missing just three of his 13 shot attempts.

And with the Grizzlies embracing a rebuild, Wells could have added fantasy value during the silly season. Memphis begins a four-game Week 18 on Monday against the Kings.

With the Grizzlies embracing the rebuilding process, Prosper is one of the players who will have additional opportunities to show what they can do. O-Max took advantage of his opportunities against the Jazz, with the 23 points being two shy of his career-high. The Grizzlies forward has surpassed 20 points in two of his last three appearances. Given Memphis’ lack of frontcourt players, Prosper is worth keeping an eye on, especially if Santi Aldama and Zach Edey don’t play again this season. Of course, that would likely require Prosper being signed to a standard contract, as he’s still on a two-way.
