Konchar was not available for Thursday’s blowout of the Bucks, with his absence likely factoring into rookie Andersson Garcia playing all 48 minutes. While Konchar’s return would mean fewer minutes for Garcia, he should still play plenty on Saturday.

Sensabaugh will miss a second straight game as he continues to recover from an illness. Not only did Andersson Garcia move into the starting lineup for Thursday’s win over the Bucks, but he also played all 48 minutes. While that workload may not happen again, deep-league managers should consider streaming Garcia.

Saturday’s game will be the second that Collier has missed with a sore left hamstring. EJ Harkless moved into the starting lineup for Thursday’s win over the Bucks, playing 34 minutes and finishing with 23 points and 10 assists. He is worth the streaming risk as Utah’s lone healthy point guard.

Originally a second-round pick by the Spurs in the 2022 NBA Draft, Chandler hasn’t appeared in an NBA game since the 2022-23 season. Nevertheless, the 23-year-old point guard was leading the G League in assists this season. Chandler will have an opportunity to carve out a role with the Jazz over the next 10 days, potentially earning himself a spot for the rest of the regular season.

Williams only scored seven points on six shots in Utah’s loss to Minnesota on Wednesday, but on Sunday, Williams scored a career-best 34 points. This game was more in line with that outing. Williams hasn’t lived up to being a top-10 pick to this point of his career, but he has been productive in March. He may not be able to carry this production over into next season, but he should be a solid option for the remainder of the year.

This was an excellent showing for the rookie. He set a new career high for scoring, exceeding his previous best of 32 points, which he set earlier this month. He also matched his career high for triples, which he set in that same game. Bailey also contributed strong value in other categories, and he should be considered a must-roster player for the rest of the season. Despite the lack of availability for other rotation players in Utah, getting Bailey as many reps as possible is clearly a priority for them.

As Garcia’s 10-day contract comes to an end, the Jazz made sure to get the most out of him. He played all 48 minutes in his second start and matched his career high for boards, which he set in his previous start. Garcia stepped into big minutes immediately with Utah, and he has been a decent source of rebounds and assists. If they keep him around, he is worth a look in deeper leagues.

In the three games he’s started since the Jazz lost Keyonte George to a strained hamstring, Collier has totaled 18 assists and nine turnovers. Five of those turnovers were committed in Wednesday’s blowout defeat, but many fantasy managers will take the overall production. Rostered in 44 percent of Yahoo! leagues, Collier has provided eighth-round value in eight-cat formats since the All-Star break.

Back in the Jazz lineup after a three-game absence, Bailey shot 5-of-10 from beyond the arc on Wednesday. The overall stat line was lacking, but the three-point shooting was encouraging. With Keyonte George (hamstring) out for a bit longer, there’s room for players like Bailey to do more offensively.

Sensabaugh came out hot on Wednesday, scoring 23 first-half points. The Jazz wing would finish with his second career 40-point game, making 13 of his 22 shots from inside the arc. While Sensabaugh was responsible for five turnovers, the overall line compensates for that. The Jazz play two more games in Week 21, starting with the shorthanded Bucks on Thursday.

After dishing out eight assists in a March 13 win over the Jazz, Holiday totaled seven assists in the two games that followed. The veteran point guard was more productive in that category on Wednesday, dishing out eight helpers while committing just one turnover. Add in the steals and three-pointers, and this was a good night for category league managers rostering Holiday.

The Pacers struggled to come up with an answer for Clingan, who punished them on the glass and from beyond the arc on Wednesday. He dropped a season-high point total while matching his previous high with three three-pointers. Clingan finished with a complete stat line, providing fantasy managers with excellent value, especially when including percentages. Portland plays two more games in Week 21, starting with the Timberwolves on Friday.

The Pacers had no answer for Avdija or Donovan Clingan on Wednesday, as they combined to score 60 of the Trail Blazers’ 125 points. For the former, this was his first 30-point game since a January 18 win over the Kings. Given the hit that Avdija’s production has taken since the back injury he suffered in mid-January, fantasy managers aren’t going to lose any sleep over his five turnovers against the Pacers.

Williams missed Monday’s game against Brooklyn, which was the second night of a back-to-back. This game isn’t part of a back-to-back set, so Williams should be available, though that isn’t guaranteed. If Williams is out, they’ll utilize small lineup when Donovan Clingan is off the floor.

A double-digit scorer in each of his last five games, Henderson also took better care of the basketball on Monday. He was responsible for two turnovers, making it three of the last five games that he’s had two or fewer. However, coming off the bench limits Henderson’s fantasy ceiling, especially when he plays 20 minutes as he did on Monday.

Having scored 12 points on 5-of-20 shooting in his prior two appearances, Camara needed a night like Monday to get untracked. The 18 points are the most he’s scored in a game since February 9, when he tallied 30 in a win over the 76ers. And since the calendar flipped to March, he’s reached double figures in three of eight games played. Shooting 36.3 percent from the field and 56.5 percent from the foul line since the All-Star break, Camara has been more valuable to the Trail Blazers than to fantasy managers.

Avdija didn’t have the best night shooting the basketball, going 4-of-13 from the field. However, he did provide solid value in other categories, most notably rebounds and assists.

For just the second time in eight games he’s played this month, Clingan failed to record any defensive stats in Monday’s victory. However, the second-year center did produce his fourth consecutive double-double and 29th of the season. Since the All-Star break, Clingan has provided third-round value in eight-cat formats. Portland plays three more games in Week 21, starting with the Pacers on Wednesday.

Collier’s assist tally may not have been as robust as many fantasy managers hoped, with him starting for the injured Keyonte George. Still, he did record his second 20-point game in four appearances. Since the All-Star break, the second-year point guard has provided eighth-round value in eight-cat formats. With George not being re-evaluated until the final week of March, now is a good time to go all-in on Collier.

If there’s one thing about Sensabaugh, it’s that he isn’t going to get cheated on his shot attempts. That approach comes in handy when his playing time is limited, as it was on Sunday. Sensabaugh played 23 minutes against the Kings and put up 17 shots, with only Cody Williams and Isaiah Collier taking more. He may not have offered much production outside of points and three-pointers, but Sensabaugh remains a good option for points leagues in the final weeks of the regular season.

Williams is precisely the kind of player who, after offering little in the first five months of the season, emerges as a “silly season hero.” A double-digit scorer in six straight games, the second-year forward recorded his first 30-point game on Sunday. Not only was it his first 30-point game, but this was the first time Williams scored 20 in an NBA game. The Jazz don’t play their first game of Week 21 until Wednesday, and Williams will be worth a roll of the dice in deep leagues when the time comes.

Clingan didn’t offer a great deal as a scorer, but fantasy managers will be pleased with the rebounds, assists and blocks.

While Grant provided excellent value in points and three-pointers, the overall stat line was along what many fantasy managers have grown accustomed to getting from him in recent years.

The Trail Blazers play four games in Week 21, starting with the Nets on Monday.

While Avdija did not have the cleanest game on Sunday, having recorded seven turnovers while shooting 7-of-19 from the field, the points, rebounds and assists were solid. Since injuring his back on January 11, the Trail Blazers’ wing has provided sixth-round value in eight-cat formats, but Deni has been limited to 12 games. Portland plays four games in Week 21, but Avdija could be limited to three because of a wraparound back-to-back to end the week.

A double-digit scorer in each of his last four appearances, Williams’ 19 points on Friday were a career-high. Even with the Jazz playing the Kings on Sunday, the second-year forward is not a must-add.

Sensabaugh may not be a point guard, but he’s one of the players whose fantasy value may be boosted while Keyonte George (hamstring) is out. Even more of the offense ran through Sensabaugh on Friday, and he responded with his second game of at least 30 points this season. His points tally has increased in each of Utah’s last four games, and the third-year forward has averaged 18.1 points per game in March. Sensabaugh is rostered in 25 percent of Yahoo! leagues, and that number should increase ahead of Sunday’s game against the Kings.

Henderson has scored at least 17 points in three straight games, his most productive scoring run of the season to date. While he was responsible for five turnovers, the overall production helps compensate for that.

To this point in his career, Scoot has been more valuable in points leagues.

Finishing with his 27th double-double of the season, Clingan also provided excellent value in the blocked shots category. The six rejections were a season-high for the second-year center, and two shy of his career-high.

Since the All-Star break, Holiday has scored at least 19 points in eight of the 11 games that he’s played.

Portland still has another game in Week 20, as they visit the 76ers on Sunday. Even more enticing for those who have Holiday rostered is that Portland opens its Week 21 with a game against the lottery-bound Nets on Monday.
