Markkanen will unsurprisingly return to the court on Tuesday, which will limit the upside of Brice Sensabaugh and likely eliminate all of Svi Mykhailiuk’s streaming appeal.

Nurkić will get the night off after playing through his questionable tag on Saturday, and he should be replaced in the starting lineup by Love, who has been upgraded to available. Kyle Filipowski should enjoy additional run, too.

Love did not play in Saturday’s loss to the Heat, which factored into Kyle Anderson playing 15 minutes off the bench. If Love can play on Tuesday, he may start, as Jusuf Nurkić (illness) is listed as doubtful. No Nurk may also mean that Anderson sticks in the rotation.

Nurkić was initially questionable for Saturday’s loss to the Heat due to an illness, but he played and extended his triple-double streak to three games. This time, the 7-footer is listed as doubtful, so it’s more likely than not that he won’t play. If Nurkić sits, Kevin Love (knee) could replace him in the starting lineup, as he’s listed as probable.

George will not play on Tuesday, with it being the first of two games the Jazz will play in as many nights. Isaiah Collier and Walter Clayton Jr. will figure more prominently in the rotation, with the former likely moving into the starting lineup. Collier will be worth streaming if he starts.

Markkanen has missed seven straight and eight of Utah’s last nine games due to illness and to get his conditioning up to par. His return will likely push Svi Mykhailiuk out of the starting lineup and possibly out of the rotation entirely. Svi should not be rostered in most redraft leagues.

Collier has come off the bench in each of his last four appearances, reaching double figures in scoring in three of them. On Saturday, the second-year guard had an effective night as a scorer and playmaker, even with the Jazz getting blown out. With Keyonte George still logging starters’ minutes, Collier’s fantasy upside is limited. But that could change later in the season.

Two days removed from one of his worst performances of the season, Sensabaugh got back on track Saturday night. He’s scored at least 23 points in four of his last five games, providing excellent production despite coming off the bench. Sensabaugh’s production can be a roller coaster, but he’s someone worth rolling the dice on during the “silly season.”

Utah shot 7-of-25 from three as a team on Saturday, and George was at the center of those struggles. He missed all eight of his attempts, sinking his field-goal percentage as a result. Over the past two weeks, George has been a top-20 player in eight-cat formats, even with Saturday’s poor shooting. Utah begins a four-game Week 15 on Tuesday against the Clippers.

After joining Pete Maravich in the Jazz record books in Thursday’s loss to the Spurs, Nurkić made more history on Saturday. The veteran center became the first player in franchise history to record a triple-double in three consecutive games. Nurkić has played in each of Utah’s last four games, but the availability is a concern due to the Jazz prioritizing the development of their young players. As long as he’s playing starters’ minutes, Nurk’s presence limits Kyle Filipowski (9/4/3/1 with one three-pointer in 16 minutes) from a fantasy standpoint.

Initially doubtful for Saturday’s game, Nurkić is now listed as available. However, there have been a few instances this season in which the 7-footer has not played despite not being ruled out. In short, fantasy managers should wait until the Jazz announce the starters before committing to slotting Nurkić into their lineups.

Markkanen is set to miss his seventh game in a row Saturday against the Heat. Cody Williams should continue to start in his place while Markkanen’s next chance for a return will come Tuesday against the Clippers. Williams isn’t worth streaming in most fantasy leagues.

Nurkić was initially listed as doubtful with an illness. With the 31-year-old center being upgraded to questionable Saturday, his odds of suiting up against the Heat have certainly improved. With his status still up in the air, though, Kyle Filipowski could move into the starting lineup and be worth streaming if Nurkić is ruled out prior to game-time.

Love will be sidelined with a knee injury, which means he won’t be available as a depth piece with Jusuf Nurkic (illness) expected to be out. Kyle Anderson should take on a few extra minutes off the bench.

It looks like Nurkić will have to wait at least one more game before attempting to go for his third straight triple-double. With Kevin Love (knee) out, Kyle Filipowski should slide into the starting lineup and be a high-upside streaming option.

Markkanen has missed Utah’s last six games, but there is a chance he returns to the lineup against Miami. If that happens, his return will push Cody Williams back to the bench. Williams has played well recently, but that hasn’t led to him being worth a roster spot in standard leagues.

If the Jazz were hoping to drum up trade interest for Nurkić ahead of the February 5 deadline, the last two games won’t hurt. On Thursday, the 7-footer became the first player to record triple-doubles in consecutive games in the franchise’s history in Utah. Counting the New Orleans years, Nurkić and the late, great Pete Maravich are the only Jazz players to record a triple-double in consecutive games. The concern at this point is the injury management nights, as Nurk has been a top-10 player in eight-cat formats over the past two weeks.

One game removed from recording his fourth 20-point game of the season, Bailey enjoyed the most productive night of his rookie campaign on Thursday. The 25 points are a new high for the lottery pick, who was also productive on the glass. Of course, category league managers would like to see some defensive production from Bailey, but he’s taking steps in the right direction.

George has scored at least 23 points in four straight and six of his last seven games, an impressive run for one of the NBA’s most improved players. Over the past two weeks, he has offered top-15 per-game value in eight-cat formats. While the Jazz are just 2-5 in their last seven games, the franchise is clearly prioritizing player development and its draft lottery odds. Hopefully, George will be safe from a late-season shutdown, but there’s no guarantee he will be, given how well he’s played this season.

Sensabaugh will be back following a two-game absence. Prior to that, he had averaged 31.7 points per game over a three-game stretch. Now back in the lineup, he’ll look to pick up where he left off. Cody Williams and Taylor Hendricks should lose out on minutes.

Fresh off scoring a career-high 43 points in Tuesday’s win over the Timberwolves, George is available after initially being listed as questionable. He’ll occupy his usual spot in the starting lineup, with Isaiah Collier and Walter Clayton Jr. missing out on a potential boost to their fantasy value.

After totaling 95 points over three games, Sensabaugh has missed Utah’s last two due to illness. Kyle Filipowski’s playing time increased in Tuesday’s win over the Timberwolves, and that may happen again if Sensabaugh can’t play against the Spurs. Both players are worth rostering, as the “silly season” appears to be underway in Utah.

George, who went off for 43 points in Tuesday’s win over the Timberwolves, is dealing with a strained left forearm. If he’s unable to play, the Jazz will rely more on Isaiah Collier and Walter Clayton Jr. Of the two, Collier’s assist production makes him a slightly better streaming option.

Love is back after sitting out Tuesday’s win over the Timberwolves, which was Utah’s second game in as many nights. His return will likely push Kyle Anderson out of the rotation entirely, and Kyle Filipowski’s playing time may decrease.

Thursday’s game will be Markkanen’s sixth missed game due to illness. With Ace Bailey returning to action on the same night as Markkanen’s first missed game, Cody Williams has been able to stay in the starting lineup. That said, there’s little need to consider rostering Williams in most redraft leagues.

Nurkić had had a double-double in five of his last eight games entering play Tuesday. Against the Timberwolves, the 31-year-old center had a triple-double with 16 points, 18 rebounds and 10 assists. Nurkić has been great for fantasy when he’s played, but missed three games due to Coach’s Decision. With the Jazz shorthanded, he should remain in the starting lineup for the time being.

Bailey had his first game with at least 20 points since November 24 against the Warrior, when he had 21 points. The 19-year-old small forward isn’t a fantasy star just yet. He wasn’t particularly efficient with 20 points on 17 attempts, but the volume was his best in months. Bailey could remain in the starting lineup with the Jazz still shorthanded.

George had 29 and 30 points in his last two games entering play Tuesday before dropping a career-high 43 points on the Timberwolves. The 22-year-old point guard continues to be a revelation in fantasy basketball leagues. One of the leagues most improved players, George has provided third-round per game value over the last two weeks. The Jazz have two more games remaining this week, against the Spurs and the Heat.

With Brice Sensabaugh and Lauri Markkanen also out, Kyle Filipowski could see a big uptick in playing time. Filipowski is worth a look for managers in need of a Tuesday streamer.

With two of Utah’s top scoring options out against Minnesota, Cody Williams and Ace Bailey could remain with the starting five. Kyle Filipowski, Isaiah Collier and Walter Clayton Jr. all saw upticks in playing time on Monday against the Spurs with Markkanen and Sensabaugh sidelined for that one, too. The Jazz have a plethora of options across the roster, so there’s no clear fantasy add here. Bailey represents the highest upside, while Collier has been a steady contributor in the assists category. Clayton Jr. is an intriguing add in deeper fantasy leagues.
