Live did not play in Tuesday’s win over the Pacers. If he’s available for Thursday night, there’s no guarantee that the veteran forward/center will play. Starting center Jusuf Nurkić was available on Tuesday but never saw the floor, with Kyle Filipowski playing heavy minutes. Of the rotation bigs on the Jazz roster, Filipowski is the only one who fantasy managers can feel safe slotting into their lineups.

George will sit out for the third consecutive game with an ankle injury. Isaiah Collier is coming off a 17-point, 22-assist performance in Tuesday’s win over the Pacers. Collier is worth streaming while George is out and figures to start again with Walter Clayton Jr. backing him up.

For Cleveland, this trade is about freeing up salary cap space. And with the team acquiring James Harden, Keon Ellis and Dennis Schröder this week, there was not going to be room for Ball in the rotation. Given Utah’s youth and the presence of Keyonte George and Isaiah Collier on the roster, it’s unsurprising that the Jazz are expected to waive Ball, which would allow him to be an unrestricted free agent.

Zubac’s absence is not trade-related, according to multiple reports. Nevertheless, the 28-year-old center will miss Wednesday’s game against the Cavaliers for personal reasons. Brook Lopez could move into the starting lineup, but isn’t worth streaming in most fantasy leagues.

Collier was in the Jazz starting lineup for Tuesday’s game, as Keyonte George was ruled out. The second-year guard took advantage of his opportunity, racking up a career-high 22 assists while committing just two turnovers. Collier doesn’t offer the best value as a scorer, but managers looking for assists and steals should consider him for the “silly season.” And with Utah trading Walter Clayton Jr. on Tuesday as part of the Jaren Jackson Jr. deal, playing time should not be a concern for Collier after the All-Star break.

While Jusuf Nurkić was made available for Tuesday’s game, he never played. While that was an infuriating development for those who have the veteran center rostered, that was good news for those who have Filipowski. The second-year forward/center recorded a double-double, with the 16 rebounds being two shy of his career-high. Even with the Jazz adding Jaren Jackson Jr. via trade, the clear focus for the rest of the season is to do what they can to hold onto their top-8 protected lottery pick. That means playing time should not be a concern for Filipowski, especially after the All-Star break.

Since New Year’s Day, Sensabaugh has scored at least 20 points in eight games. He hasn’t been the best option for managers competing in category leagues, but the third-year wing is worth the list for those competing in points leagues. Sensabaugh is worth adding now because it may be tougher to get him after the trade deadline.

On a day when the Jazz added Jaren Jackson Jr. to the fold, Markkanen provided a reminder of what the rebuilding team already has. The Jazz forward was efficient on offense, doing his damage in 27 minutes on a night when Utah only played seven players. The concern for fantasy managers is Markkanen’s availability after the trade deadline. Using his last few games to entertain sell-high possibilities would be a good idea.

Cleveland’s “Core Four” is no more, as the team has reportedly moved Garland to the Clippers. While he does have an All-Star Game appearance to his credit, foot injuries have been an issue for Garland the last two seasons. A left big toe injury limited him late last season, and he’s currently out with a right big toe injury. During his final practice as a Cavalier on Tuesday, Garland was limited to individual work, so fantasy managers will likely have to wait for the point guard to make his Clippers’ debut. In the meantime, Kris Dunn and Kobe Sanders have higher fantasy ceilings.

Due to injuries and the eight-player trade the Jazz completed with the Grizzlies earlier Tuesday, Utah will be shorthanded against the Pacers.

Williams Jr. joins a backcourt of breakout Keyonte George and strong backup Isaiah Collier, so he’s unlikely to see big minutes for his new team barring additional moves from Utah.

Konchar will head from Memphis to Utah alongside Jackson Jr., Vince Williams Jr. and Jock Landale, while the Grizzlies will receive Walter Clayton Jr., Kyle Anderson, Taylor Hendricks and three first-round picks.

This deal is likely not the last one for either side, as the Jazz will pick up more frontcourt depth, and the Grizzlies may look to blow things up and move on from JJJ and Ja Morant. We’ll have to wait for the dust to settle, but for now, Jackson Jr.'s scoring and rebounding may take a hit, as he’ll no longer be the top offensive weapon. The Grizzlies’ frontcourt depth is nearly non-existent with Zach Edey, Santi Aldama and Brandon Clarke sidelined, so keep an eye on Memphis’ moves ahead of the trade deadline.

Miller had some strong scoring nights in January and got even hotter to kick off February. Not only did he surpass 20 points for the second time in 24 hours, but he was insanely efficient about doing it. He nearly matched his season high of 22 points, which he set in his season debut in November. Miller has scored in double figures in 10 of the Clippers’ last 12 games and should remain a crucial piece on offense moving forward.

With James Harden (personal) out for a second straight game, Sanders got another start at point guard and was even more productive than he was in the first. This was his fourth time scoring at least 17 points this season, and he nearly matched his season high of 20, which he set in early January. With reports that James Harden’s time with the Clippers may be coming to a close, Sanders should start at least a few more games, depending on who they get back in a Harden trade.

Win or lose, Leonard continues to produce at a high level consistently. His 29 points were his most in a game since he missed three games with a knee injury, and this came on the second night of a back-to-back, which would have been unheard of for Leonard just two years ago. He has been fantastic all season and will look to stay hot against the Cavaliers on Wednesday.

SI’s Chris Mannix also reported that the Clippers and Cavaliers are discussing a deal that would center around a swap of Harden and Darius Garland. Desperation tends to rise when pressure increases, and the trade deadline will do just that for teams that are looking to contend. Harden has missed the last two games due to personal reasons, and it seems there is a real possibility he has played his final game as a Clipper.

This will be a second straight game that Harden will be away from the team for. Kobe Sanders replaced him in the starting lineup and scored 12 points in 31 minutes. He should remain a starter, and he should be in for another decent night, though managers shouldn’t expect much more from him.

This was just Miller’s third game all season with 20 points, but there should be more to come for the 26-year-old shooting guard. His complete skillset was on display as Miller scored in a variety of ways, making three three-points as well as scoring from inside the paint. Ideally, he could be in line for more playing time over the rest of the season. The Clippers have four games coming up in Week 16, so Miller may be worth a look in deeper formats.

Zubac became the only player in the NBA to have 20 rebounds in a game and not miss from the field since 2020. The 28-year-old center completely dominated the boards as the Clippers out-rebounded the Suns 63-35. His scoring hasn’t lived up to his preseason ADP, though his rebounding has been tremendous.

Leonard, who was snubbed for the All-Star team despite the game taking place in his home arena, put on a show for the fans in Phoenix on Sunday.

Nurkić sat out Friday’s loss to the Nets with an illness, but was back on the court Sunday. The 31-year-old center saw his streak of three triple-doubles in a row end in Wednesday’s loss to the Warriors, but bounced back with a double-double against the Raptors Sunday. He’s provided fifth-round per game value over the last two weeks.
