Mbeng played all 48 minutes for the second time in his last three games. During this stretch, he averaged 22.3 points, 6.0 rebounds, 7.7 assists and 4.3 steals in 44.7 minutes per game. It has been an impressive run for Mbeng, who signed standard contract last week after playing on two 10-day deals. However, if they do keep him around next season, he won’t play that large of a role.

Tshiebwe was a monster on the glass for a second straight game, but it was his offensive production that was most impressive. He shattered his previous career high of 18 points, which he set during Game 82 last season. Tshiebwe is an incredibly talented rebounder, but he has never gotten the chance to play rotation minutes consistently prior to silly season. That likely won’t change next season, but if it does, he can contribute in fantasy basketball.

Sensabaugh is back after sitting out Friday’s blowout win over the Grizzlies. He’s capable of putting up big numbers, but the Jazz may look to limit the wing’s minutes to protect their draft lottery odds. The Jazz and Kings go into Sunday with matching 22-59 records, tied for fourth-worst in the league. Sacramento visits Portland, which secures the No. 8 seed with a victory.

Filipowski will remain out due to lower back injury management. Oscar Tshiebwe has been the starting center recently, and that’s likely to remain the case on Sunday. Filipowski’s absence also frees up playing time for Blake Hinson, who went off for 30 points in Friday’s win over the Grizzlies.

Just like last season, Tshiebwe has become a rebounding machine in April. This was a new career high for him and his second double-double in his last four games. He has been a strong rebounder in the G League as well, but he hasn’t been a rotation piece for Utah early enough in the season for him to make strong contributions in fantasy hoops outside of silly season.

Hinson got his second start of the season and ended up setting a new career high for scoring. Hinson went undrafted in 2024 out of Pittsburgh, but college career started back in 2018. It has been a long road for Hinson to make his NBA debut, and he has taken advantage of the opportunity. He’s currently on a two-way deal, but he won’t play quite this much next season.

Playing against his former team, Chandler was able to put together another strong performance in his second start of the season. He set a new season high for assists and triples and has now scored in double figures in nine of his 11 appearances this season. Unfortunately, Chandler won’t play in Utah’s final game of the regular season since his 10-day contract expired after this game.

In a return from a one-game absence with a right knee contusion, Bailey was able to stuff the stat sheet and record the first double-double of his career. Bailey has flashed plenty of upside and has continued to develop as the season has progressed. He won’t turn 20 until August and still has so much room for growth. Bailey may be an afterthought when compared to some of the other top rookies in this class, but he is still a valuable option in dynasty leagues.

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.

Mbeng signed a two-year deal with the Jazz last week, and after being a rotation piece for a few weeks, he has played big minutes over their last two games. He played well as a starter on Tuesday, and he was even better as a reserve in this game. He was one of three players to record a triple-double in this game, including two off the bench for Utah. Mbeng went undrafted after playing four years at Yale and is perhaps playing himself into a lengthy career.

Kyle Filipowski and Brice Sensabaugh are out for Friday’s game, freeing up spots in the starting lineup for Bailey and Hinson. The other change to the lineup is Chandler, who starts with Bez Mbeng coming off the bench.

With Sensabaugh out, the Jazz will have to account for the absence of the production that he brings offensively. John Konchar, who played 38 minutes in Tuesday’s loss to the Pelicans, may move into the starting lineup, where he can provide solid steals value.

Filipowski will miss Friday’s game for injury management reasons. Oscar Tshiebwe has started alongside Filipowski in the last two games, and his role should expand on Friday. Also, Blake Hinson is a potential replacement in the starting five.

For a player not selected in the 2025 NBA Draft, it’s highly unlikely that Mbeng would complain about playing too much. The rookie guard was on the floor for all 48 minutes, and he finished with season-highs in points and steals. Given where the Jazz are in the standings, Mbeng will play plenty in Utah’s final two games. And those are two more opportunities to show that he deserves a longer look from the Jazz in the summer.

While Williams’s offensive output has been inconsistent recently, the Jazz are likely pleased with his overall production since March 1. Since that date, the second-year forward has averaged 15.5 points per game on 48.5 percent shooting from the field. Williams’ category league value has remained low, but the improved scoring is a positive development. And with the Jazz rotation projected to be considerably stronger in 2026-27, a good finish to this season is essential for Williams.

Chandler came off the bench on Tuesday but still logged 43 minutes. His second 10-day contract runs through the penultimate day of the regular season, so he’ll have to be moved to a standard deal to be eligible for Utah’s April 12 finale. Against the Pelicans, the 2022 second-round pick had the best game of his NBA career. Not only did Chandler establish a new career-high with the 31 points, but this was his first game with at least 20.

The Jazz are without Ace Bailey for Tuesday’s game, as a right knee contusion has sidelined him. As a result, Mbeng moves into the starting lineup and should play significant minutes.

Bailey is out due to a right knee contusion. His absence likely results in more minutes for John Konchar, who racked up five steals in Sunday’s loss to the Thunder. He doesn’t offer much as a scorer, but Konchar has been a solid source of steals when playing extended minutes.

Filipowski is expected to take the court, and fantasy managers playing during the last week of the season can confidently deploy him in lineups. The second-year big man has posted strong numbers as of late, and he’ll look to build on his monster, 20/14/6 performance on Sunday against the Thunder.

Bailey has posted solid numbers as of late, but he’s likely to sit out against New Orleans, along with a number of his teammates. Bailey’s absence should mean more playing time for John Konchar.

Bailey has been providing plenty of offense recently for Utah, but if he is unavailable, there will be an open spot in the starting unit. John Konchar is the most likely candidate to slide into the starting lineup, and he has been productive when given the chance to start this year.

Filipowski’s status is uncertain for this Tuesday’s matchup between teams who are eliminated from postseason contention. The second-year center has functioned as a part-time starter for the Jazz throughout the season, while consistently being a double-double threat. Given his 20/14/6 line on Sunday against the Thunder, he’ll have a chance to land another big performance on Tuesday.

Filipowski was hardly efficient offensively in this one. Still, the 22-year-old center played 38 minutes despite the blowout loss and also added major value with rebounds and assists. Filipowski has provided top-25 per game value over the last two weeks. The Jazz have three games in the final week of the regular season, starting with a matchup against the Pelicans on Tuesday.

Sensabaugh was one of the bright spots for the Jazz in what was otherwise a mess of a game for Utah. He hit six three-pointers. The 22-year-old small forward’s point total was a game-high. Sensabaugh has now scored at least 26 points in three of his last five games. The Jazz have three games in the final week of the regular season, starting with a matchup against the Pelicans on Tuesday.

For matchup purposes, the Jazz have made a change to their starting lineup. Tshiebwe will start in hopes of matching up with Chet Holmgren and Isaiah Hartenstein, with John Konchar moving to the bench.

Sensabaugh tallied a second straight 20-point game on Friday — three-point shooting played a role, as did free-throw shooting and two-point scoring. But also for a second straight game, the former Ohio State Buckeye struggled with ball protection. Turnovers aside, Sensabaugh has made fantasy impact throughout the season. With four games left in the regular season, Sensabaugh should continue to function as one of Utah’s best offensive options.

Friday’s 34-point defeat was nothing to celebrate for the Jazz, but Bailey’s continued production to close the regular season could serve as a bright spot. In 33 minutes, the rookie forward impressed as a scorer, shooting above 50.0 percent from the floor to finish as one of three Jazz players with at least 20 points. He was cold from beyond the arc for a second straight game. Yet, even as the three-point shooting has fluctuated, it’s still been a positive end of the season for Bailey.

Williams’ strong end-of-season production continued in the Jazz’s lopsided loss. The second-year guard led Utah in minutes, totaling 38, and was very active in those opportunities. The near 30-point scoring performance on high efficiency stands out, but so does the work he did on the glass. Williams’ balanced production ultimately led him to a second double-double on the season. He should continue to perform well down the stretch.

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.
