Nurkić has missed Utah’s last two games, allowing Kevin Love to fill the void at center. Love would get another start if the 7-footer can’t play, but he may remain in the rotation regardless, given the opponent and his absence from the initial injury report.

Bailey has missed seven of Utah’s last eight games, resulting in Cody Williams getting a few opportunities to start. While Williams may remain in that role even if Bailey plays on Monday, he is not worth the risk in redraft leagues.

Holiday is available to appear in a game for the first time since November 14. While the veteran guard’s minutes will be limited, he could start. If Holiday starts, Sidy Cissoko may be the odd man out. Either way, Cissoko’s playing time will likely decrease.

Murray suffered a back injury in Monday’s game against the Jazz. The 25-year-old small forward has been diagnosed with a lumbar strain in his lower back and there’s currently no timetable for his return. With Jerami Grant (Achilles) also out, Sidy Cissoko figures to start again Sunday.

Williams was upgraded to probable Sunday afternoon. It’s likely the 28-year-old center will return after leaving Friday’s win over the Rockets with right knee soreness. Williams will assume his role as one of the backup centers, but he isn’t worth rostering in fantasy leagues at this point.

Holiday was upgraded to probable Sunday afternoon. The 35-year-old point guard is now likely to appear in a game for the first time since November 14. Holiday is likely to be on a minutes restriction due to all the time he’s missed this season.

Collier finished one assist shy of a double-double on Saturday, with his playing time receiving a bump due to Utah losing by a franchise-record 55 points. With Keyonte George (four points, two rebounds, five assists, one steal and one block in 23 minutes) having the best season of his brief NBA career, Collier’s fantasy upside is limited. However, he’s worth a look in deep leagues for managers needing assists.

Sensabaugh’s offensive performance was the lone bright spot for the Jazz in Saturday’s 150-95 defeat. Scoring isn’t an issue for the third-year wing, but he has offered minimal value outside of points and three-pointers. Over the past two weeks, Sensabaugh has an eight-cat value ranked outside the top-150. While playing time shouldn’t be an issue for him when the silly season rolls around, the category-league value will be limited.

Plus/minus is an imperfect stat, but Williams made the kind of history that no player wants on Saturday. His rating of minus-60 was the worst in league history (spanning 30 years of play-by-play data). He shot the ball relatively well, but the overall production wasn’t there for a player making his second consecutive start. Williams will have more opportunities between now and the end of the season, but he isn’t worth stashing for the “silly season.”

Avdija was just 5-of-15 from the field in this one, but made all eight of his free throws on his way to 20 points. The 25-year-old small forward has scored at least 20 points in nine of his last 10 games. Avdija is providing fourth-round per game value over the last two weeks. While his rebounds were down Friday, he’s still a threat to have a triple-double against the Knicks Sunday.

Sharpe wasn’t very efficient with 20 points on 22 field goal attempts, but he also pulled down eight rebounds and had five assists without turning the over the ball over. The 22-year-old shooting guard has had at least 20 points in four of his last five games. Sharpe has provided just 15th-round per game value over the last two weeks. He’ll have one more chance to put up points this week Sunday against the Knicks.

Camara is averaging 12.8 points per game this year and had had at least 20 points in just one of his last six games entering play Friday. He wasted no time dropping 16 points in the first quarter. The 25-year-old small forward went off for a career-high 25 points on 16 attempts, including five made threes. Camara has provided 11th-round per game value over the last two weeks. The Trail Blazers close out the week against the Knicks on Sunday.

While Williams missed a few games earlier this month due to left knee injury management, the right knee was the reason for his early exit on Friday.

Bailey was only able to play ten minutes in Wednesday’s loss to the Thunder, his first game back after missing five with a strained hip flexor.

Calayton Jr. is enjoying a nice stretch to begin the new calendar year. Thursday’s solid performance gives him back-to-back games with double-digit points and four three-pointers. He logged north of 20 minutes in each of these games, which, notably, weren’t garbage-time minutes. The former national champion with the Florida Gators seems to be firmly in the nightly rotation at this point, with each productive performance likely helping him maintain his spot.

George had a relatively average game production-wise, finishing with fewer than 20 points for only the 12th time this season and less than two three-pointers for the 11th time. He was his usual productive self as a facilitator, leading Utah in assists for the game. And he was also active on defense, finishing as Utah’s leader in steals, ultimately helping his final line stand out a bit more. George has been stellar throughout his third NBA season and should continue to perform well moving forward.

Markkanen followed up his 29-point, 13-rebound double-double against OKC with another high-scoring performance against the Mavs. Inefficient three-point shooting and struggles from the free-throw line ultimately were the only things to slow his production. Markannen led all scorers and was the only player to take the floor and finish with multiple blocks. He’ll be back at it on Saturday against the Hornets.

Bailey missed five games with a hip injury but returned last night to play 10 minutes against the Thunder. The Jazz are clearly going to be cautious with their rookie, so they may sit Bailey for the second game of a back-to-back. That would likely mean more minutes for Brice Sensabaugh on Thursday.

Nurkić has played at least 30 minutes in each of the last two games, and scored 15 points with 15 rebounds against the Thunder last night. However, the Jazz have been selected in how they rest players, considering they are not in contention this season, but also are playing good basketball of late. If Nurkić were to sit on Thursday, that would likely mean more minutes for Kyle Filipowski since the Jazz don’t really have another traditional center.

Camara had another well-rounded performance in Wednesday’s win, despite shooting inefficiently from beyond the arc. He made all of his two-point shots, finished statistically as one of the best rebounders and facilitators on the team, and was the only Trail Blazer to record multiple blocks and steals. His fantasy ceiling isn’t sky-high, but he’s proven to be more than capable of streaming together similar stat lines as a nice two-way wing.

Sharpe was one of two Trail Blazers to score at least 20 points in the victory. Three-point shooting almost amounted to half of his scoring total, and his trio of assists was tied for second most on the team.

Avdija hit the 40-point mark for the first time all season on Wednesday to continue with what’s been an outstanding start to the calendar year. Through four games in 2026, Avdija’s lowest scoring total was a 29-point outing against the Spurs, which resulted in a triple-double. He’s gone for 30 or more points in three of the last four games and has remained a triple-double threat on a nightly basis. He’ll have an opportunity to be effective against the Rockets again on Friday.

The veteran center has been on a roll of late. Wednesday’s double-double marked his second straight, and also marked the sixth consecutive game in which he’s totaled at least 15 points. Inefficient shooting aside, he produced well in this game before fouling out. Nurkic remains a double-double threat even at this stage in his career and has the potential to log more strong performances, like Wednesday’s, going forward.

George notched his first triple-double in nearly a month in the overtime defeat. He didn’t shoot well from the floor, but high volume allowed him to escape with a 20-point outing after failing to do so on Monday vs. Portland.

Markkanen followed up a relatively mediocre outing in the loss to the Trail Blazers by nearly achieving a 30-point double-double on Wednesday. He shot the ball well both inside and outside the arc and attacked the glass hard in his 44 minutes of game action, resulting in his third double-double of the season. Additionally, Markkanen’s streak of 20-point games is now at 12 — he’ll have a chance to extend it to 13 on Thursday against the Mavericks.

Coming off arguably his worst performance of the season, Sharpe bounced back in a big way in this blowout victory. Sharpe’s been a high-level scorer, and he’s averaging a career high in steals, but his value in category leagues has been limited by a lack of production in other categories. However, that wasn’t the case in this game, and he was more efficient than he has typically been this year. This was an excellent outing, but it’s also one that Sharpe likely won’t be able to make happen often.

Clingan dominated early on in this game and entered the halftime break with a double-double. This was his third straight double-double, and he has one in five of his last six games. However, it’s the deep-range shooting that has been the real revelation. He hit a total of 14 triples as a rookie, but he has five over his last two games and 12 over his last seven. Clingan doesn’t need to become a true stretch five, but if he can space the floor, it will continue to open up the offense for Portland.

Avdija’s dominant first half helped Portland take a 21-point lead into halftime. He had 23 points, seven rebounds and four assists entering the break. He didn’t add much after that, but he didn’t need to for the Blazers to get the win. Turnovers and poor percentages have limited Avdija’s value in category leagues, but those haven’t been as severe an issue over his last three games. He’ll look to keep it going against the Rockets on Wednesday.
