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.

Markkanen did not play in Saturday’s loss to the Hornets, in which Utah suffered a historic 55-point beating. He’ll be back on the floor against the Cavaliers, pushing Taylor Hendricks to the bench.

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.”

Mann did not play at all during the first three quarters of Saturday’s game. His name was called to begin the fourth, and the Hornets’ guard was not going to get cheated offensively. Mann shot 70 percent from the field and scored a team-high 20 points. The scoring outburst isn’t guaranteed to get Mann the minutes needed to affect fantasy basketball, so leave him on the waiver wire.

Saturday’s game was the first for Williams since November 2024, and he wasted no time getting up shots. All ten of his shots were three-pointers, of which he made three. Williams played 14 minutes, which Charlotte’s 55-point win may have inflated. There’s no need to add Williams after one game, but the ability to play either power forward or center may ensure him of rotation minutes the rest of the way.

Kalkbrenner was back in the rotation after missing ten games with a sprained left elbow. The rookie center was productive in the same areas he’s been all season, putting up a high field-goal percentage while also recording solid rebound and blocked shot numbers. Kalkbrenner played 23 minutes on Saturday, with Moussia Diabaté (10/10/1/0/2) logging 25. The split in the minutes is worth watching moving forward, as both can offer solid fantasy value.

Five was the number of the night for Ball, with three of the four statistical categories in which he hit that number being positive. The Hornets’ guard was responsible for five rebounds, five assists, five three-pointers...and five turnovers. By now, fantasy managers know to expect high-turnover nights from Ball, but the five on Saturday were the most in a game for him since December 31. However, Ball has been a top-25 player in eight-cat formats over the past two weeks, so turnovers aren’t going to cause too much stress among fantasy managers.

Miller and the Hornets handed Utah a 150-95 beating, the largest in Jazz franchise history since moving to Salt Lake City. With the game out of hand by the end of the first quarter, Miller only played 22 minutes, which affected the final stat line. The good news for fantasy managers is that he offered solid value, especially in assists and steals. Charlotte begins a four-game Week 13 on Monday against the Clippers.

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.

Inactive since suffering a torn right ACL in November of 2024, Williams is on track to make his season debut on Saturday.

After ten consecutive games on the sidelines, Kalkbrenner could be back in the lineup on Saturday. His availability affects Moussa Diabaté the most, as he has been the replacement in the starting lineup. Due to Kalkbrenner’s missed time, Diabaté may get another start on Saturday, but his minutes would decrease. Also, PJ Hall may fall out of the rotation entirely.

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.

Limited to 12 points in Wednesday’s loss to the Raptors, Bridges was a bit more effective on Thursday. He’s recorded at least four assists in each of his last three games, and the Hornets’ forward has offered top-50 value in nine-cat formats over the past two weeks. While Bridges’ fantasy ceiling isn’t particularly high, he provides a solid floor for managers seeking consistent production.

Interestingly, Knueppel did not attempt a shot during the first quarter of Thursday’s game. His involvement in the Hornets’ offense did increase in the ensuing quarters, but that was an interesting approach for the rookie to take. Over the past two weeks, Knueppel has been a seventh-round player in eight-cat formats. The Hornets end their Week 12 slate on Saturday against the Jazz.

With Thursday’s game being the second in as many nights for the Hornets, the training staff altered its approach to Ball’s minutes. He was brought off the bench against the Pacers, but that did not negatively affect the point guard’s production early on. Ball scored 11 points in each of the first three quarters, and the 33 points were two more than what he produced in his prior two appearances combined. If Thursday’s approach is the one that Charlotte takes with future back-to-backs, that would be good news for managers who have Ball on their fantasy rosters.

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.

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.

Though he didn’t do much scoring, Diabaté was still able to make a big impact in this game. He is currently the only healthy center for Charlotte, which means he has been starting and has seen a big bump in minutes. He had a couple double-doubles late in December and is certainly capable of scoring more, but that hasn’t happened consistently. Still, until Ryan Kalkbrenner returns, Diabaté should be rostered.

Sexton was one of the few reliable scoring options for the Hornets in this game. He led the team in scoring while coming off the bench, and the other typical scorers for Charlotte struggled.
