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.

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. The former Baylor Bear also tallied a season-high in assists and led the team in that department. He’s been one of fantasy basketball’s most pleasant surprises thus far.

While George didn’t shoot the ball poorly, he was responsible for seven turnovers in Saturday’s defeat. That was a season-high for the point guard, who recorded three turnovers or fewer in seven of his previous nine games. However, even with Saturday’s performance, George has been a top-10 player in eight-cat formats over the past two weeks. After two inconsistent seasons, the Jazz point guard has turned the corner in year three.

George and Markkanen are back after missing Thursday’s loss to the Clippers, with Isaiah Collier and Taylor Hendricks being bumped to the bench. The other change is Love, who will start in place of Kyle Filipowski. Utah remains without Jusuf Nurkić, so Filipowski will still play plenty.

George will be back after a one-game absence. Isaiah Collier started in his stead, and Walter Clayton Jr. played 30 minutes off the bench. With George back, both players will take a significant hit in minutes and lose their streaming value.

George was held out of Thursday’s loss to the Clippers, resulting in Isaiah Collier starting and Walter Clayton Jr. playing 30 minutes off the bench. Both players will take a hit if George is available to play against Golden State.

This will be George’s first missed game of the season. The Jazz will also be without Lauri Markkanen (knee), so things could get rough on Thursday. Isaiah Collier will likely start in George’s place with Walter Clayton also seeing an increase in minutes and usage.

George was also questionable for Tuesday’s game against Boston with an illness and ended up with 37 points and six three-pointers against the Celtics. Unless he’s dealing with a new illness, the 22-year-old point guard’s odds of suiting up Thursday seem pretty good. George is one of the breakout stars of the season and has been one of the best players in fantasy basketball over the last few weeks.

George entered this game battling an illness, but it clearly didn’t limit his production. It has been an excellent third season for George, and this recent stretch has been arguably his best. He has scored at least 20 points in nine straight games and has scored at least 30 in five of those. He has been one of the best players in fantasy basketball over the last few weeks and will look to stay hot against the Clippers on Thursday.

Initially questionable for Tuesday’s game, George has been upgraded to available. With Utah having its usual point guard in the fold, Isaiah Collier and Walter Clayton Jr. will miss out on increased playing time.

George has yet to miss a game this season, but that could change on Tuesday. If he does not play, more minutes open up for Isaiah Collier and Walter Clayton Jr., with the former being the more likely replacement in the starting lineup.

One night removed from capping a 31-point game with a game-winning shot, George came through with another excellent performance. Over the past two weeks, he has provided top-10 per-game value in eight-cat formats according to Basketball Monster. Playing on a team that has a poor record can make it difficult to work one’s way into the postseason awards conversation. However, George’s name should come up when discussing the most improved players in the NBA this season. Utah begins a three-game Week 11 at home on Tuesday against the Celtics.

George has been one of the most improved players in the NBA this season, with Friday’s performance rating among his best. Not only did he shoot over 50 percent from the field, but the third-year guard only committed two turnovers. And George’s last play was his most important, as his runner with 2.3 seconds remaining gave Utah the victory. He’s providing third-round value in eight- and nine-cat formats and has shown no signs of slowing down. The Jazz won’t have much time to celebrate their win, as they visit the Spurs on Saturday.

The Jazz are a young team so even in a blowout, George, the 22-year-old point guard, played 34 minutes. He scored 20 points, which was his lowest output in five games, and was just two rebounds and three assists shy of a triple-double. George’s run of excellent play continues. He’s becoming one of the biggest fantasy steals of the season. The Jazz are back on the floor Tuesday against the Grizzlies.

George’s streak of games with at least 30 points ended at three, but the 22-year-old point guard still had 27 points in the overtime loss to the Magic Saturday. He was clutch in overtime with a four-point play that put the Jazz up by one with four seconds only to lose on a Desmond Bane game-winning jumper. The Jazz have four games in Week 10, beginning with a matchup with the Nuggets on Monday.

George had his third consecutive game with at least 30 points against the Lakers Thursday. The 22-year-old point guard was excellent, draining five three-pointers for the third straight game as well. George has been a fantasy steal this year as one of the most improved players in the league. The Jazz finish up the week with a game against the Magic on Saturday.

George was electric in the overtime thriller on Monday. On the heels of a career-high 39-point game, he logged a nearly identical line against the Mavericks — he drained five three-pointers, made double-digit free throws, and pitched in as a facilitator and rebounder. George has been one of the league’s most improved players this season, resulting in stellar fantasy numbers. He’ll have a chance to keep his streak of 30-point games alive on Thursday when they face the Lakers.

George was rolling during the first half of Friday’s game, scoring 27 points. While a combination of improved defending from the Grizzlies and foul trouble conspired to keep the guard scoreless in the third quarter, he would finish with a career-high 39 points. Add in the assists, percentages and low turnover count (three), and this was an excellent night for George. The significant improvement that he’s made has lowered Isaiah Collier’s fantasy value, but the second-year guard did dish out eight assists in 24 minutes off the bench.

While his name may not be mentioned very often in early Most Improved Player conversations, there’s no denying that George has made impressive strides after two uneven seasons in Utah. On Thursday, the guard recorded his third double-double of the season, and he only committed one turnover in 31 minutes of play. George is providing third-round value in eight-cat formats, well ahead of his Yahoo! ADP (116). Rostered in 79 percent of Yahoo! leagues, managers in shallow formats must ensure that George isn’t sitting on the waiver wire.

After finishing with zero points on Sunday against the Rockets, George responded on the second night of a back-to-back by nearly putting 30 points on those same Rockets a day later. He shot well from the floor overall and also got back on track as a facilitator after a quiet previous game in that area. Six turnovers were arguably the only standout weakness of George’s on Monday’s outing. Otherwise, he put together a nice bounce-back game.

George missed all six of his shot attempts and only ended up playing 19 minutes. He entered the game as questionable with an illness but played through it, making it easy to attribute his worst performance of the season to the fact that he was under the weather. Utah hosts the Rockets again on Monday, and it wouldn’t be shocking if George sat out if he was still battling this illness. If he does play, hopefully he’ll be feeling good enough to have a better outing.

Utah’s third-year guard is in the midst of a breakout season, and he’ll look to keep the positive momentum going in Sunday’s tilt with the Rockets. George has averaged 28.8 points, 4.2 rebounds, 7.2 assists, 1.5 steals and 3.5 triples across his last six games.

George, who has six straight games with at least 20 points to his credit, is dealing with an illness and could miss his first game of the season. If he does not play against the Rockets, that would leave a significant hole in the Jazz starting lineup. While Isaiah Collier can certainly run the show, he is not the scorer that George is.

George’s breakout season continued as he scored at least 30 points for the fourth time this season and at least 20 points for the sixth straight game. A dramatic leap in points, assists and steals, combined with an improvement in shooting percentage has allowed George to be a top-50 player in nine-category leagues so far this year. He should have no issues filling up the box score moving forward.

George knocked down 10-of-17 shots from the floor, while also adding six rebounds and seven assists, as Utah dropped their fourth straight contest and lost for the fifth time in their last six contests. The Jazz got off to a nice start in this one — the tail-end of a back-to-back after facing the Lakers on Sunday — racing out to an 11-0 advantage before Golden State roared back to take control for good. The Jazz are off until Friday when they square off against the Kings.

After matching his season-low with 10 field-goal attempts in Friday’s loss to the Thunder, George took 23 shots on Sunday. He’s scored 27 points or more in three of his last four, continuing to exceed expectations based upon his Yahoo! ADP of 115. George is close to a top-50 player in nine-cat formats, a surprising rise for a player who ended last season as the backup point guard. While Isaiah Collier (10/1/3/1) remains a factor in the rotation, George has done enough to lock down the starting job. The Jazz play three games in Week 6, starting with the Warriors on Monday.

While he hasn’t offered much in the way of defensive production, George has been much improved on the offensive end of the floor. He’s scored at least 20 points in eight of his 15 appearances, including each of the last three. Over the past two weeks, George has been a top-50 player in nine-cat formats. While some fantasy managers believed he could take a step forward after two underwhelming seasons, few expected George to be as valuable as he’s been. The “sell high” window remains open for those who don’t believe he can sustain this production for a full season.

It has been a scorching hot start to the year for George, and after scoring a season-high 33 points on Sunday, he surpassed that mark for a second straight game. George showed plenty of flashes through his first two seasons in the league, but he is currently averaging career-highs in both points and assists per game. His field goal percentage has still been rough, but that wasn’t an issue in this game, though that isn’t something fantasy managers should get used to.

George shot 3-of-10 from beyond the arc on Sunday, but his last attempt was the most important. The Jazz guard knocked down a three with eight-tenths of a second remaining in double overtime to give Utah the 150-147 victory. George tallied a season-high point total, finishing with his second 30-point game. He’s been a pleasant surprise in fantasy basketball thus far, providing top-75 value in nine-cat formats.

George is proving to be an excellent scorer. He’s had at least 25 points in three of his last five games. George’s 27 points ultimately weren’t enough to keep up with Anthony Edwards and the Timberwolves as Lauri Markkanen was the only other Jazz player with at least 20 points. The Jazz play the Pacers on the second night of a back-to-back on Tuesday.
