Tshiebwe appeared in 14 games for the Jazz last season on a two-way deal, with most of those appearances coming in March and April. If Utah ends up tanking at the end of the year again, Tshiebwe will hold some late-season value, but he will likely spend most of the year in the G League.

Tshiebwe hasn’t been able to carve out a role in the NBA since going undrafted in 2023, but whenever he gets the opportunity to play, he dominates the glass. He has played in 10 games since the All-Star break and has finished with at least 10 rebounds in eight of them. Sunday’s game was his third-straight double-double, which is a great way for him to end the season. Unfortunately, there isn’t currently a clear path for him to play rotation minutes next season, so we may have to wait until next March and April for him to shine.

Walker Kessler did not play in Friday’s game, resulting in Tshiebwe making his first start as a pro. While the second-year center did not have the best night shooting-wise, going 2-of-5 from the field, he did reach double figures in rebounds for the fourth time this season. Depending on Kessler’s availability, Tshiebwe will have more opportunities before the season ends. However, he still isn’t worth the risk in most fantasy leagues.

Tshiebwe is going to sleep well after his long Wednesday. The Jazz center began Wednesday with the team’s G League affiliate, playing 41 minutes and finishing a win over Mexico City with 37 points and 26 rebounds. Due to the Jazz being without multiple rotation players, Tshiebwe logged 18 minutes off the bench against the Wizards on Wednesday night. He’s the first player in G League history to record seven 20/20 games in a season, and that may be enough to earn Oscar some opportunities with the Jazz before the season ends. As evidenced by his 10 rebounds on Wednesday, he can provide value in that category.

Tshiebwe, who may have been in line for rotation minutes, joins Utah’s lengthy list of absentees for Sunday’s game. With Kyle Filipowski getting the start, the Jazz will likely need to rely on Micah Potter when their rookie is on the bench.
