With Sensabaugh out, the Jazz will have to account for the absence of the production that he brings offensively. John Konchar, who played 38 minutes in Tuesday’s loss to the Pelicans, may move into the starting lineup, where he can provide solid steals value.

Murray is one of several key Nuggets starters to show up on Thursday’s injury report as questionable. The veteran guard is having a career-best season in terms of scoring, passing, and three-point shooting. If he’s unable to play, the Nuggets will be without their lead ball handler and much of their offensive firepower.

In a rematch of last season’s seven-game Western Conference Semifinals, the Nuggets could be without their best player. Jokić showed on Thursday’s injury report with a wrist injury. If unable to go, Denver will lose its leading scorer, rebounder, and passer in a game that could affect the standings.

Whether Gordon plays on Friday is to be determined. In an injury-filled season for the veteran forward, he’s averaging 16.2 points and 5.8 rebounds per game. If available, he’ll slot into the starting unit and provide his usual value on both ends of the floor. However, Bruce Brown could see an increase in minutes should Gordon sit out Friday’s contest.

Johnson was one of several Nuggets players to produce on the offensive end against the Grizzlies. Specifically, he was one of eight to finish with double-digit points, utilizing efficient shooting from beyond the arc and success inside the three-point line to conclude as the team’s second-leading scorer. After a slow start to the season regarding three-point shooting, Johnson has really picked it up and turned in an efficient season. His scoring uptick in April could prove to be valuable with the playoffs just around the corner.

Wednesday marked the fourth consecutive game that Murray has tallied at least three triples, and was the fourth time in the last seven games he’s drained five or more. More than at any other point in his career, the three-point shot has become an incredible weapon — Murray is posting career-highs in makes and percentage, which has led to the highest scoring season of his career. He finished the night as Denver’s leader in scoring and should enter the postseason with lots of positive momentum.

Jokić didn’t look for his shot much on Wednesday, taking fewer than 10 shot attempts for the game. He made most of his attempts and was productive enough at the free-throw line to work his way into double figures as a scorer. However, his game-high 15 rebounds and 10 assists were arguably the more impressive stats on this night. Jokić is averaging a triple-double on the season for the second consecutive season. He’ll have a chance at collecting another MVP award.

For a player not selected in the 2025 NBA Draft, it’s highly unlikely that Mbeng would complain about playing too much. The rookie guard was on the floor for all 48 minutes, and he finished with season-highs in points and steals. Given where the Jazz are in the standings, Mbeng will play plenty in Utah’s final two games. And those are two more opportunities to show that he deserves a longer look from the Jazz in the summer.

While Williams’s offensive output has been inconsistent recently, the Jazz are likely pleased with his overall production since March 1. Since that date, the second-year forward has averaged 15.5 points per game on 48.5 percent shooting from the field. Williams’ category league value has remained low, but the improved scoring is a positive development. And with the Jazz rotation projected to be considerably stronger in 2026-27, a good finish to this season is essential for Williams.

Chandler came off the bench on Tuesday but still logged 43 minutes. His second 10-day contract runs through the penultimate day of the regular season, so he’ll have to be moved to a standard deal to be eligible for Utah’s April 12 finale. Against the Pelicans, the 2022 second-round pick had the best game of his NBA career. Not only did Chandler establish a new career-high with the 31 points, but this was his first game with at least 20.

Gordon was one of Denver’s better performers on Monday. In the win, he crossed the 20-point mark for the first time since March 14 against the Lakers, which was also the last time he made more than two three-pointers. The veteran forward showed versatility also as a passer and rebounder before narrowly missing a double-double. Gordon’s health struggles kept him from achieving much fantasy success this season. However, he appears to be getting healthier ahead of the playoffs.

Murray had a relatively quiet first three quarters on Monday before coming alive down the stretch. His seven fourth-quarter points were more than he had totaled entering the period, and he added seven more in overtime to help nail the door shut on the Blazers. Murray’s contributions as a passer were important in the victory and his work on the defensive end led to a couple stocks. He’s had a career-best season, leading to lots of fantasy impact.

Jokić added to his triple-double collection on Monday with another big performance. He led all players in steals, rebounds, assists, and blocks in the overtime win, in which he showed up with a productive fourth quarter to help the Nuggets mount a comeback. Jokić has arguably done as well throughout this year as he did in his MVP seasons. He’ll have a chance to close the regular season strong with games remaining against Memphis, Oklahoma City, and San Antonio.

Filipowski’s status is uncertain for this Tuesday’s matchup between teams who are eliminated from postseason contention.

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.

For the second time in four games, Murray reached double figures in assists.

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.

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.

While his performance did not come in a victory, Williams’ play against the Cavaliers was encouraging after a brutal Saturday night in Phoenix. Two nights removed from throwing up a bagel on 0-of-9 shooting, the second-year forward surpassed 20 points for the fourth time in his last six appearances. Williams’ category league value remains low, but he’s shown some signs of being able to add value in deeper points leagues. The Jazz play three more games in Week 23, starting with the Nuggets on Wednesday.
