Markkanen will miss Wednesday’s game for personal reasons. To account for his absence, the Jazz have made Walker Kessler (rest) available after initially ruling him out. Kyle Filipowski and KJ Martin should play more minutes with Markkanen unavailable, with the former offering a higher fantasy ceiling.

Initially ruled out for Wednesday’s game, Kessler is now available. While he should be in the starting lineup, it would be unsurprising if Kessler did not play starters’ minutes. Utah has made multiple decisions recently intending to improve its draft lottery odds, resulting in more playing time for young players like Kyle Filipowski.

Aldama and Pippen missed Monday’s loss to the Kings, with the former having missed the Grizzlies’ last five games. The absences of Pippen and Ja Morant have led to Cam Spencer entering the rotation, but he is not worth adding in most leagues. As for Aldama, John Konchar may play a few more minutes off the bench, but he’s only worth a look for deep-league managers needing rebounds.

Wednesday’s game will be the third Morant has missed with a sore left hamstring. Luke Kennard will remain in the starting lineup, with Desmond Bane assuming most of the primary playmaker responsibilities. Kennard is worth rostering in deep leagues, while Bane possesses a higher fantasy ceiling when Morant is out.

Wednesday’s game is the third Martin has missed with an elbow injury. His absence frees up additional minutes for Brice Sensabaugh, who is worth a look in deep leagues. Sensabaugh will not have to worry about minutes because of how the Jazz have recently handled Lauri Markkanen’s playing time.

The Jazz don’t have a back-to-back to worry about, but that won’t stop them from sitting Kessler on Wednesday. His absence likely means Kyle Filipowski, who should be rostered in deep leagues for the rest of the season, will likely move into the starting lineup.

Though he didn’t get much help from his teammates, this was an excellent offensive performance from Bane. He set a new season-high for scoring, and it came after four consecutive games with less than 25 points. Bane scored over a third of the Grizzlies’ points, which wasn’t enough to get the job done against a balanced attack from Sacramento. However, he was able to step up with Ja Morant sidelined with a hamstring injury. If Morant remains out in Portland on Wednesday, Bane could be in for another big night.

With Ja Morant sidelined, Kennard took on the role of facilitator for Memphis. This was his second-straight start, but it wasn’t a productive one outside of the assist boost. This was Kennard’s fifth game this season with at least eight dimes, but he wasn’t able to reach his season-high of 11. Kennard has upside as long as he is starting, but the production hasn’t been there consistently for him. He is known for his deep-range shooting, so while the assist numbers are fun, Kennard not hitting a triple is disappointing.

Clarkson did not play in Sunday’s loss to the Timberwolves, and his return meant fewer minutes for Johnny Juzang. While the veteran guard shot 50 percent from the field and dished out three assists, he was also responsible for four turnovers. Add in the 22 minutes, and there may not be much to gain from rostering Clarkson down the stretch. As for Juzang, he finished the loss with eight points, two rebounds, one steal and two three-pointers in 16 minutes. He isn’t a must-roster player, but there will be nights when Juzang is allowed to start as Utah looks to improve its draft lottery odds.

After sitting out Sunday’s loss to the Timberwolves, George returned to the Jazz rotation. While the points and steals were solid, he was responsible for four turnovers. The inefficiency has factored into Utah’s decision to start rookie Isaiah Collier at the point, as he has been better than George at setting up his teammates. Collier finished Monday’s loss with eight points, six rebounds, eight assists and one turnover. George is the superior scorer, but the hope is that he’ll use the rest of the season to improve as a playmaker for others.

Fantasy managers should be accustomed to the shenanigans in Salt Lake City. Markkanen was in the starting lineup for Monday’s game but only played 24 minutes, an apparent response to the NBA’s decision to fine the Jazz $100,000 regarding his availability for prior games. Fantasy managers can only hope that Markkanen blows up in his 24 minutes because he’s highly unlikely to play starters’ minutes the rest of the season.

Aldama was initially doubtful for Monday’s game, while Pippen was listed as questionable. Their absences leave the Grizzlies down another two rotation players, with Ja Morant (shoulder) already out. Vince Williams Jr. should experience an increase in playing time, and the Grizzlies will again rely on a backcourt of Desmond Bane and Luke Kennard.

The Jazz, who lost to the Timberwolves on Sunday, are without Collin Sexton for Monday’s game. They’ll go with a bigger lineup, as Potter has been tabbed to fill the void. While Potter has limited streaming value, Williams receives a boost with the move from small forward to shooting guard.

Markkanen will be available for a fourth-straight game, and this even comes on the second night of a back-to-back. Clearly, the $100k fine for poor injury reporting got to the Jazz. Markkanen has played 24.5 minutes per game over these last three games, so managers should manage their expectations.

George and Clarkson are available after sitting out Sunday’s loss to the Timberwolves. Their returns likely mean fewer minutes for Johnny Juzang. However, Svi Mykhailiuk’s absence means Juzang should remain in the rotation, but he is not a player who has to be rostered in most fantasy leagues.

Mykhailiuk is a late addition to the injury report on the second night of a back-to-back after playing 26 minutes on Sunday. He has been in and out of the rotation recently for Utah, and his role will be dependent on the status of Lauri Markkanen (ankle) who is also questionable. Even if Mykhailiuk plays through this ailment, his chances of producing value in any format are low.

The Young Bull won’t face the Bulls, as Utah is playing the second leg of a back-to-back set. Keyonte George and Jordan Clarkson are questionable, but they’ll pick up the slack for Sexton if they’re given the green light. Isaiah Collier figures to be heavily involved, too.

Sexton missed some games early this month with an ankle injury but has scored 22 points in two of his previous three outings. The Jazz are unpredictable at this point and fantasy managers could have trouble understanding which Utah guards will be productive regularly down the home stretch. Sexton will face the Bulls for the second time this season on Monday. He scored 24 points against them in November.

Kessler logged a DNP-CD against the Raptors but was right back in the mix to wrap up the week. The Jazz center has had some rest days here and there as of late but is productive when on the court. Whether he’ll suit up against the Bulls on Monday remains to be seen as Utah continues the obvious tank that they have already been fined for.

Williams is available after sitting out Saturday’s win over the Heat, which was Memphis’ second game in as many days.

Aldama has missed Memphis’ last five games with a strained right calf, and that number is likely to hit six on Monday.

Pippen is dealing with a sore left wrist, hence his appearance on the Grizzlies’ injury report. With Ja Morant (shoulder) out, a few more minutes may be available to Pippen if he can play.

Kennard is worth streaming in deep leagues, with Morant’s absence also raising Desmond Bane’s fantasy ceiling.

Morant missed Saturday’s game with a shoulder injury and now he’s dealing with a hamstring issue.

Martin will not play in Sunday’s game, leaving the Jazz down another option in the frontcourt.

When the Grizzlies are without Ja Morant, Bane’s full game tends to be unlocked. That was the case on Saturday, as he shot over 50 percent from the field and finished two assists shy of a triple-double.

Jackson was dominant on Saturday, having now scored 30 points or more on 12 occasions this season. That equals his tally from the 2023-24 campaign, a year in which JJJ was the lone Grizzlies star in the lineup on most nights. Jackson has been a top 20 player in nine-cat formats since the All-Star break, slightly better than his production for the season.

Kennard started Saturday’s game for Ja Morant, who did not play due to a shoulder injury. While the final stat line certainly wasn’t elite, Luke was far from a liability for deep-league managers. His value for Week 20, which begins Monday in Sacramento, depends on Morant’s availability. Kennard won’t need to be rostered if Ja is available.

Morant’s absence impacts the Grizzlies’ rotation and fantasy basketball more, as it opens up a spot in the starting lineup.

Aldama was also out Friday, but with Jaren Jackson Jr. back and the Grizzlies deep rotation of bench players, nobody appears ready to step into a fantasy-relevant role.

This one to keep an eye on. Morant has said previously that his shoulder has been an issue all season long, but he hasn’t been on the injury report for most of March. Coming off a 44-point performance Friday night, an injury to the 25-year-old point guard is the last thing fantasy managers want to see. Scotty Pippen Jr. could move into the starting lineup if Morant is out and would be worth streaming.

Walker Kessler was technically available Friday, but he began the game on the bench and was a DNP-CD. That allowed Filipowski to move into the starting lineup, where he fared well against the Raptors. The 21-year-old power forward had 18 points on 11 shots including three 3-pointers and pulled down 11 rebounds to earn a double-double. Filipowski is going to continue to be a worthwhile streamer if the Jazz make a habit of holding Kessler out down the stretch.
