Two days removed from making his third start of the season in a loss to the 76ers, Plowden is on the injury report for Sunday with a sore right foot. Nique Clifford, who Plowden filled in for on Thursday, is off the injury report. As a result, Plowden is likely to come off the bench if he’s cleared. If he can’t play, Patrick Baldwin Jr. has been made available and could absorb some of the available minutes.

While Bailey didn’t have his best night shooting the basketball, there was a lot to like about the rookie’s stat line. He was effective as a rebounder and playmaker for others, committing two turnovers, and Bailey recorded a season-high five blocks. Given where the Jazz are in the standings, further evaluating talents like Bailey is a clear priority. For that reason alone, he is worth the risk for fantasy managers, especially with the Jazz playing four games in Week 22.

The Jazz won’t have Keyonte George, Isaiah Collier or Brice Sensabaugh for Saturday’s game, so Mbeng will make his first start as a pro. With this being the penultimate game for Mbeng before his 10-day contract expires, he’ll be motivated to put forth a solid effort.

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.

With no Nique Clifford (hamstring), Plowden was given his third start of the season. He took advantage of the opportunity, recording the first 20-point game of his NBA career. Plowden did not provide much beyond the points and three-pointers, but Clifford’s injury may open the door for him to become fantasy-relevant during the final weeks of the regular season.

Two days removed from dropping a season-high 32 points, Raynaud recorded a second consecutive 30-point game on Thursday. He wasn’t as productive on the glass as he was in Tuesday’s loss to the Spurs, but many fantasy managers will be fine with the efficient 30-point effort from the rookie center. The Kings end Week 21 with a game against the Nets on Sunday, which could be another good game for Raynaud.

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.

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.

This wasn’t a great performance for Westbrook, but the highlight of his night was that he passed Steve Nash to move into fifth place on the all-time assists list. Over his last five games, Westbrook has averaged 10.2 assists and has dishes out double-digit dimes in all but one of those. His appearances have been spotty with back-to-backs, but he should be available for the remainder of this week, barring a rest night against the tanking Nets on Sunday.

In what was an ugly loss for Sacramento, the rookie was once again able to be a bright spot. He set a new career high for scoring and nearly added another double-double to his resume.

They have two more games this week, with the 76ers up next on Thursday.

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.

While he did not offer much scoring and did not record any defensive stats, Raynaud provided good value in the rebounds category. Given how well he shot the ball in Saturday’s win over the Clippers, going 11-of-12 from the field, one could argue that the rookie was bound to cool down. Since the All-Star break, only Precious Achiuwa has been more valuable in fantasy basketball amongst Kings, regardless of league format.

Achiuwa continues to shine in Sacramento, as he recorded his second consecutive 20-point double-double on Sunday. Since the All-Star break, the Kings’ forward has provided top-50 value in eight- and nine-cat formats.

Unsurprisingly, the Jazz had no answer defensively for DeRozan, who made consistent trips to the foul line on Sunday. The veteran wing recorded season-highs in free throws made (18) and attempted (21) while also shooting over 50 percent from the field. Add in the assists and steals, and this was an excellent end to Week 20 for managers who have DeRozan on their rosters. The Kings play three games in Week 21, beginning with the Spurs on Tuesday.

Eubanks most recently played 15 minutes in a March 11 loss to the Hornets, and the left thumb has been an issue for most of this season. A fracture suffered in December limited the veteran backup to six appearances over a two-plus-month stretch, and a torn ulnar collateral ligament suffered recently required surgery. While the Kings have not yet provided an official timeline, Eubanks is unlikely to return in time to add value to fantasy rosters.

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.
