Ellis is the only starter that also started on Sunday against the Pacers. Merrill, Mobley and Allen were all sidelined for that game, so they’ll be occupying their usual starting spots. James Harden (personal), Donovan Mitchell (ankle) and Max Strus (foot) are out for this game, with Schröder entering the starting unit.

Filipowski’s status is uncertain for this Tuesday’s matchup between teams who are eliminated from postseason contention. The second-year center has functioned as a part-time starter for the Jazz throughout the season, while consistently being a double-double threat. Given his 20/14/6 line on Sunday against the Thunder, he’ll have a chance to land another big performance on Tuesday.

Filipowski was hardly efficient offensively in this one. Still, the 22-year-old center played 38 minutes despite the blowout loss and also added major value with rebounds and assists. Filipowski has provided top-25 per game value over the last two weeks. The Jazz have three games in the final week of the regular season, starting with a matchup against the Pelicans on Tuesday.

Sensabaugh was one of the bright spots for the Jazz in what was otherwise a mess of a game for Utah. He hit six three-pointers. The 22-year-old small forward’s point total was a game-high. Sensabaugh has now scored at least 26 points in three of his last five games. The Jazz have three games in the final week of the regular season, starting with a matchup against the Pelicans on Tuesday.

Nights like the one Strus had on Sunday are what fantasy managers fear when rostering a player because of his shooting ability. The Cavaliers’ wing shot 1-of-9 from beyond the arc and 1-of-10 from the field overall, sinking his field-goal percentage. More concerning for the Cavaliers was that Strus appeared to injure his left wrist late in the second quarter. He was on the court at the start of the third quarter with his wrist taped. Between the wrist and the lengthy absence due to offseason foot surgery, Strus may not be available for Monday’s game against the Grizzlies.

The Cavaliers were without Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen on Sunday, so Bryant was able to make his first start of the season. And he played well, recording his first double-double since February 6, 2025 as a member of the Pacers. Keon Ellis also made a spot start on Sunday, finishing with 13 points (5-of-9 FGs), five rebounds, one steal and three three-pointers.

While the move to Cleveland has allowed Harden to do less as a scorer, the absence of Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen on Sunday meant that more was required of The Beard. He answered the call, with the 28 points being the most in a game for Harden since he put up 36 in a March 19 win over the Bulls. In addition to the points, Harden provided fantasy managers with a complete stat line in his final game of Week 23.

Neither the Pacers nor an apparent ankle tweak in the fourth quarter could slow Mitchell on Sunday. The Cavaliers’ star made over 50 percent of his shot attempts, and the 38 points were the most in a game for Spida since he dropped 42 on the Magic on March 24. Add the rebounds and assists, and this was an excellent end to Week 23 for those rostering Mitchell. For managers whose leagues run through Week 24, the Cavaliers play four games, starting with a Monday game against Memphis.

Wade is progressing in his recovery from a sprained right ankle, but there is still plenty of work to be done. According to Cavaliers head coach Kenny Atkinson, the forward has not reached the point where he’s playing 3-on-3 or 4-on-4. The hope is that Wade is available in time for the playoffs.

Sensabaugh tallied a second straight 20-point game on Friday — three-point shooting played a role, as did free-throw shooting and two-point scoring. But also for a second straight game, the former Ohio State Buckeye struggled with ball protection. Turnovers aside, Sensabaugh has made fantasy impact throughout the season. With four games left in the regular season, Sensabaugh should continue to function as one of Utah’s best offensive options.

Friday’s 34-point defeat was nothing to celebrate for the Jazz, but Bailey’s continued production to close the regular season could serve as a bright spot. In 33 minutes, the rookie forward impressed as a scorer, shooting above 50.0 percent from the floor to finish as one of three Jazz players with at least 20 points. He was cold from beyond the arc for a second straight game. Yet, even as the three-point shooting has fluctuated, it’s still been a positive end of the season for Bailey.

Williams’ strong end-of-season production continued in the Jazz’s lopsided loss. The second-year guard led Utah in minutes, totaling 38, and was very active in those opportunities. The near 30-point scoring performance on high efficiency stands out, but so does the work he did on the glass. Williams’ balanced production ultimately led him to a second double-double on the season. He should continue to perform well down the stretch.

Harden’s night in San Francisco wasn’t as prolific as one would expect, but he was available when the Cavaliers needed him most. Down the stretch, the two-man game between and center Jarrett Allen (16 points, 13 rebounds and one steal) produced some key baskets to help Cleveland remain one game in the loss column behind New York for third place in the East. The Cavaliers are off until Sunday, when they host the lottery-bound Pacers. That could be a game where Harden gets his gaudy assist numbers.

Over his last four appearances, Strus has shot 20-of-36 from beyond the arc. He made six of his ten attempts on Thursday, surpassing 20 points for the second time in three games. With Sam Merrill (3/2/5/1 with one three-pointer) struggling and Dean Wade (ankle) still out, Strus has taken on added fantasy value. And there’s one more game in Week 23, with the Cavaliers hosting the Pacers on Sunday.

Mitchell led six Cavaliers in double figures as they managed to pull away from the Warriors late. And this was an excellent night to have the star guard rostered, as he finished with a complete stat line and excellent shooting percentages. Cleveland’s Week 23 schedule was front-loaded, with three games in the first four days. They’ll finish the week on Sunday against the Pacers in what should be a good matchup for Mitchell.

Konchar was one of two Jazz players to record double-doubles against the Nuggets. His stats were produced off the bench, as he shot efficiently, competed on the defensive end, and made a notable impact with his facilitating.

Filipowski finished the night as one of two Jazz players to reach the 20-point mark. His scoring came in a fairly diverse manner — three-pointers, two-pointers, and free throws were all factors. And although he only played 31 minutes, Filiposwki was still able to secure double-digit rebounds before the final horn sounded. He’s now gone for 20 or more points in four straight games and will have a chance to extend that streak to five games against the Rockets on Friday.

Sensabaugh was one of the bright spots for the Jazz in their loss to the Nuggets. He was both aggressive and efficient as a scorer, especially from the three-point line, which led to most of his scoring production on Wednesday. His assist-to-turnover pro was even, he collected a couple of stocks, and contributed fairly well on the glass over his 33 minutes. Sensabaugh averaged over 20 points per game in March and is beginning in April by picking up where he left off.

Tshiebwe will get the start for the Jazz as they face a Nuggets team that’s getting healthy just in time for the postseason. Utah has lost its last six games, including a recent one to Denver. Filipowski and Bailey are the most likely players to provide fantasy value for the Jazz on Wednesday.

Strus was back in the lineup after sitting out the first leg of this back-to-back, and he ended up starting for the first time this season. He wasn’t able to match his season-high 29 points that he scored on Friday, but he remained efficient. Still, the lopsided score limited him to 23 minutes, so it ended up being a subpar night. If he remains a starter when Sam Merrill, Jaylon Tyson and Dean Wade are all healthy, Strus should be a reliable option for fantasy managers for the rest of the season.

Allen sat the first leg of this back-to-back, but he was able to lead the Cavaliers in scoring in his return to the lineup. All 18 of his points came before halftime, and he didn’t end up seeing the floor much after the break. This was an ugly loss for the Cavs that was somewhat redeemed on the scoreboard during the fourth quarter. Allen only played 19 minutes in this game after playing 18 in his return on Friday, though both games were blowouts. He’ll likely continue to have his minutes managed in Golden State on Thursday.

Allen will be back in his typical starting spot, and with Sam Merrill out, Allen will just be filling the void.

Chandler made his first start since joining the Jazz on Monday, as Utah was without Keyonte George, Isaiah Collier and EJ Harkless due to injury. While the efficiency was poor, with Chandler shooting 25 percent from the field and committing five turnovers, he played 40 minutes. That alone may raise some eyebrows as the Jazz move forward with the rest of their Week 23 schedule. Bez Mbeng (5/2/4/3 with one three-pointer) played 29 minutes off the bench, but Chandler is the Jazz guard worthy of a look if Utah remains this shorthanded at point guard.

Bailey extended his streak of games in double figures to eight, scoring 19 points while shooting over 50 percent from the field.

Filipowski has scored at least 20 points in three straight games, but Monday’s double-double was his first since a March 9 win over the Warriors. Interestingly, he only played 24 minutes against the Cavaliers, likely a byproduct of Evan Mobley doing whatever he wanted in the post. The role Filipowski currently has won’t align with his role when next season begins, especially if Utah re-signs Walker Kessler. To carve out a consistent role for himself in 2026-27, he has to make strides defensively.

While his performance did not come in a victory, Williams’ play against the Cavaliers was encouraging after a brutal Saturday night in Phoenix.
