For the second straight game, Konchar was able to record a triple-double. This was also the fifth straight game that he swiped at least two steals, and he has 22 steals during this stretch. Konchar got a fresh start with Utah after the trade deadline and has had a strong finish to the season. He should continue to be a rotation piece for them next season, but he won’t play enough to make a contribution for fantasy managers.

The Jazz have made just one change to their starting lineup for Friday’s game. Konchar will start, bumping Oscar Tshiebwe to the bench. While the opportunity makes him deserving of a look in deep leagues, Konchar is faced with a challenging matchup.

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. Konchar did a little bit of everything in Wednesday’s game, which led to some quality fantasy production. He’s nothing more than a last-resort streaming option during Championship Week.

Konchar has been on a tear recently for fantasy managers. Over his last four games, he has averaged 13.0 points, 7.5 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.8 blocks per game while shooting 62.5 percent from the floor. While the rest of the rotation in Utah is inconsistent, Konchar has been reliable enough to be worth rostering, especially managers that are looking for a boost in defensive stats.

Experienced fantasy managers are likely well aware of what Konchar can provide when allowed to play extended minutes. He may not do much as a scorer, but the veteran wing can provide solid value in other areas. Against the Wizards, Konchar put up good numbers in rebounds, assists and blocked shots, and he logged 38 minutes. Brice Sensabaugh (rest) and Kyle Filipowski (illness) were out, freeing up additional minutes for Konchar, and he made the most of his opportunity.

Konchar may not have recorded any steals on Monday, but the offensive production was encouraging. After scoring 16 points in his prior four appearances, Konchar’s 19 on Monday were a season-high. An 8-of-8 night from the foul line boosted the final tally, but he was 3-of-4 from beyond the arc. Konchar was limited to 23 minutes on Monday, which does limit his fantasy upside, especially when the Jazz have other players whose minutes are likely to be more of a priority in the final weeks of the season.

Konchar was upgraded to probable after he was initially listed as questionable for Saturday’s game against the 76ers with a quad injury. Andersson Garcia played all 48 minutes in Thursday’s win over the Bucks with Konchar out. Garcia should still play a lot with Konchar likely to return Saturday.

Konchar was not available for Thursday’s blowout of the Bucks, with his absence likely factoring into rookie Andersson Garcia playing all 48 minutes. While Konchar’s return would mean fewer minutes for Garcia, he should still play plenty on Saturday.

Konchar will miss a second consecutive game as he continues to recover from a calf injury. Ace Bailey returned to action on Wednesday and was in the starting lineup. Konchar’s continued absence may also guarantee that Brice Sensabaugh remains in the starting five.

Konchar started in Utah’s last game, but with Ace Bailey (illness) back, he may be pushed back to the bench if he plays. If he doesn’t, Brice Sensabaugh should be locked in to a second straight start after scoring 21 points against the Warriors on Monday.

The Jazz have made two changes to their starting lineup for Monday’s game. With Ace Bailey (illness) unavailable, Konchar will start, and he’s capable of providing solid steals production. The other change is Sensabaugh, who replaces Oscar Tshiebwe, with Kyle Filipowski serving as the starting center.

Konchar got the starting nod with Lauri Markkanen (hip) set to miss at least two weeks. He continued to not provide much production, outside of steals. He is averaging 3.8 steals over his last four games and should continue to provide plenty of swipes. However, managers that need more than that should be cautious about rostering him, even if he’s starting.

With Lauri Markkanen set to miss some time with ankle and hip injuries, Konchar will replace him in the starting unit. This will be his second start with the Jazz, with the other coming in his return to Memphis, where he finished with six points, six rebounds, four assists and four steals in 31 minutes. He has 10 steals over his last three games, but he can’t be relied on for much else.

Down several key starters, the injury-hit Jazz will piece together a rarely-used opening unit against the Grizzlies. The two teams split their first couple of meetings this season, and Memphis and Utah could use a win on Friday to get back in the win column. They’ll meet once more in April.

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. Konchar’s role is unlikely to change much with the Jazz, and he’s not worth a look in most fantasy leagues.

Due to an anterior triangle contusion, Konchar will miss a second consecutive game. His absence led to Olivier-Maxence Prosper playing rotation minutes off the bench, but there’s no need to consider streaming O-Max.

Konchar joins a host of other Grizzlies on the sidelines for Saturday’s game. While his production has not affected fantasy basketball, Konchar’s absence means that more minutes are available to Olivier-Maxence Prosper. O-Max is not worth the risk in redraft leagues, so leave him on the waiver wire.

The Grizzlies are without Santi Aldama for Wednesday’s game, as he has been sidelined by a knee injury. However, instead of starting a center (Jock Landale) alongside Jackson, the Grizzlies are going with Konchar. He can provide rebounding production, but should not be considered a must-stream player. And Memphis will need JJJ to step up as a rebounder, something that has rarely happened this season.

Konchar’s absence will not significantly impact fantasy basketball, as he played eight minutes in the Grizzlies’ last two games. With Vince Williams Jr. (illness) also out, Luke Kennard’s playing time may increase in a pivotal matchup for both teams. He played 19 minutes in Monday’s loss to the Celtics.
