Carrington returned to playing a reserve role after being back in the starting lineup for just one game. His best performances have typically come as a starter, but he was productive on Tuesday. His 15 points were tied for the most that he has had when coming off the bench. While managers will be hoping to see Carrington start more during “silly season”, it was encouraging to see him play well as a reserve in this game.

Smart hasn’t been able to contribute much fantasy value since arriving in Washington, but he has been a decent scoring option off the bench at times. He had his highest-scoring game as a Wizard and his highest-scoring game since December on Tuesday, though it wasn’t enough for Washington to get the win. Smart has contributed more as a locker room veteran for Washington than he has as a fantasy asset, and that likely won’t change this season. Still, it was nice to see him have some success in this game.

Holmes’ best games came as a starter when Alexandre Sarr was hurt, but he has played well since returning to a reserve role. He ranks inside the top-75 in nine-cat leagues over the past two weeks despite playing a reserve role for four of his five games during that stretch. Holmes’ night came to an end a few minutes early after he was ejected from elbowing Ausar Thompson in the face. Holmes was being trapped and was trying to clear space, so while he may not have intentionally taken a shot at Thompson, there was enough contact to warrant an early exit.

Clarkson has missed Utah’s last seven games and could remain sidelined against Memphis. If that happens, Collin Sexton will remain in the starting unit as the guard next to Isaiah Collier. Brice Sensabaugh contributed 22 points off the bench on Monday and would likely get the chance to supply more buckets if Clarkson remains out.

George missed Monday’s game against Boston, which was the second night of a back-to-back. Now, he’s expected to remain out against Memphis. Isaiah Collier and Collin Sexton played most of the guard minutes on Monday, with Sexton dishing out 13 assists. Brice Sensabaugh filled the role of offensive sparkplug off the bench for George and scored 22 points on Monday.

Sarr has struggled with his shooting lately as he’s made 36 percent or less of his field goal attempts in five of his last seven games. The 19-year-old center has had a double-double in each of his last two games, both coming against the Raptors. Sarr has blocked six shots over his last three games. He’s a reliable rebounder and a defensive presence, but the offensive efficiency isn’t there right now.

Sexton missed Sunday’s game against the 76ers with an ankle injury. He showed he was healthy Monday and with Keyonte George (foot) and Jordan Clarkson (foot) both out, the 26-year-old shooting guard had a big game. Sexton had 16 points on 16 shots and dished out 13 assists. His playing time could be up and down for the rest of the season depending on the health of his backcourt mates.

Collins returned after missing the last five games with a back injury. The 27-year-old power forward scored 28 points, but was hardly efficient taking 30 shots with the Jazz missing multiple starters. Collins has plenty of fantasy value, but his availability down the stretch of the season — he seems to sit out against any opponent when a Jazz loss would benefit draft positioning — has to concern fantasy managers.

Coulibaly, who had a scary fall on a dunk attempt and landed on his back, will not return to Monday’s game due to tightness in his right hamstring. The Wizards wing played eight minutes, finishing with four points, two rebounds and one assist. With Coulibaly done for the night, Justin Champagnie will play additional minutes off the bench.

With Khris Middleton (ankle) sidelined for the first leg of Washington’s back-to-back, Carrington will make a return to the starting lineup. The Wizards will play in Detroit on Tuesday, so Carrington will likely be pushed back to the bench for that game, though he has been productive as a starter.

Collier has hit double figures in assists on 11 occasions since moving into the Jazz starting lineup in early January. While the seven turnovers he committed on Sunday were suboptimal, the rookie has been one of the few bright spots for the Jazz this season. Collier’s fantasy value remains low, but he’s a must-roster player for the rest of the season, especially for managers who can afford to take the occasional hit in the turnover category.

George has scored at least 25 points in two of his last four games, so the scoring output has been there. However, it’s fair to wonder what his long-term role will be in Utah, especially with rookie Isaiah Collier continuing to serve as the starting point guard. George’s minutes and scoring opportunities will be there for the rest of the season, but his dynasty value may be decreasing due to him not making more significant progress in running a team.

Whether he starts or comes off the bench, Filipowski has been consistently productive since the All-Star break. A double-digit scorer in six straight and eight of Utah’s 10 post-break games, the rookie is ranked just outside the top 100 in eight-cat formats. Filipowski’s defensive production has been lackluster most nights, but he accumulated three steals on Sunday. He’s rostered in 35 percent of Yahoo! leagues, and that figure should increase ahead of Utah’s four-game Week 19.

Juzang has started six of Utah’s last eight games, but the offensive production hasn’t been there on most occasions. Sunday’s defeat was the second time he’s reached double figures in those six starts, and the seven rebounds were a nice bonus. However, the inconsistency makes Juzang little more than a dart throw in deep leagues. That may change if the Jazz decide to shut down their veterans completely, but even that isn’t guaranteed. Utah plays four games during Week 19, starting with the Celtics on Monday.

Sarr tied his career-high in rebounds while finishing with his seventh double-double of his rookie campaign. Toronto was steamrolled in the paint, as Bilal Coulibaly (18 points, 10 rebounds) and Richaun Holmes (10 points, 11 rebounds) posted double-doubles of their own. Sarr’s 5-of-16 shooting performance left much to be desired on offense, but fantasy managers will certainly take the boards.

Markkanen will miss an eighth straight game, and there’s no telling when he’ll make his return. Jaden Springer is also dealing with a back issue, so he’ll sit this one out as well. The Jazz are sitting most of their starters and a number of key role players in a matchup with Philadelphia that could do down as one of the most star-studded events of the season. Brice Sensabaugh and Johnny Juzang should see increased playing time for as long as Markkanen is out.

Holmes should assume his role as Alex Sarr’s primary backup after one game on the sideline. Even off the bench, Holmes still carries some streaming value in deeper leagues.

With Walker Kessler in the starting lineup, Filipowski was used in a reserve role Friday night. The good news for fantasy managers is that the change did not prohibit him from providing solid fantasy value.

Rostered in 32 percent of Yahoo! leagues, he’s worth holding onto for the rest of the season.

George didn’t have a great night shooting the basketball, going 4-of-14 from the field, but fantasy managers were likely pleased with the rebounds and assists. While the Jazz have limited the minutes of their key veterans as the season winds down, George doesn’t qualify. As a result, he’s still playing over 30 minutes per game despite coming off the bench. Unfortunately, poor shooting and limited defensive production continue to weigh down his fantasy value.

Kessler was fantastic on Friday, establishing new career highs in rebounds and blocked shots. The 7-foot-1 center accounted for 18 rebounds and three blocks in the first half alone. While the Raptors did more to keep Kessler off the glass after halftime, he still blocked another five shots. Only Dikembe Mutombo and Ben Wallace have corralled more rebounds in a game as a Raptors opponent than Kessler, who has been a top-10 player in nine-cat formats over the past two weeks.

The availability of the Jazz veterans has been frustrating for fantasy managers, as it has wreaked havoc on rosters at this point in the season.

While he certainly can’t be dropped, Sexton’s playing time could frustrate some fantasy managers as the regular season concludes.
