The Jazz will start Keyonte George, Darryn Peterson, Ace Bailey, Lauri Makkanen and Jaxson Hayes against the Trail Blazers on Saturday.

Markkanen missed Wednesday’s loss to the Spurs with a wrist injury, but is set to return Saturday against the Trail Blazers. Josh Green will head back to the bench.
Lauri Markkanen

UTA Forward-Center #23

Lauri Markkanen (wrist) is available for Saturday’s game against the Trail Blazers.

Markkanen missed Wednesday’s game against the Spurs with a sprained right wrist. He’ll return Saturday against the Trail Blazers, likely sending Josh Green back to the bench.
Lauri Markkanen

UTA Forward-Center #23

Lauri Markkanen (wrist) is questionable for Saturday’s game against the Trail Blazers.

Markkanen sprained his right wrist during Monday’s loss to the Grizzlies and did not play on Wednesday against the Spurs. If he can play on Saturday, Josh Green will likely head to the bench.
Brice Sensabaugh

UTA Forward #28

Brice Sensabaugh had 16 points off the bench (5-of-9 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), three rebounds, an assist, and four 3-pointers on Wednesday.

Brice Sensabaugh is a bench scorer who thrives on hitting tough shots. While Lauri and Jaren are out, Brice could be looked at as a stream option if you need some points and three pointers, but he won’t give you much more than that.
Darryn Peterson

UTA Guard #22

Darryn Peterson put up 18 points (4-of-13 FGs, 7-of-7 FTs), five rebounds, three assists, a steal, and three 3-pointers in an overtime loss to the Spurs.

Obviously you want Darryn to be more efficient from the field, but he got his shot attempts up which is what you want to see. He did leave the game in the first quarter with a head injury but returned. He did not close the game which is notable. He will continue to get better, and this is a good game all things considered, but the fantasy upside for this season isn’t very high.
Ace Bailey

UTA Forward #19

Ace Bailey had 19 points (9-of-18 FGs), six rebounds, a block and a three in 39 minutes and 30 seconds of play against the Spurs.

Ace Bailey is the best point of attack defender the Jazz have on the roster right now. He’s also put in serious work on the offseason to get better at rebounding the ball and passing. The amount of trust the coaching staff has in him right now cannot be understated. He’s worth grabbing in redraft leagues if he’s available, and in dynasty leagues, you have to be happy if you have him on your roster.
Keyonte George

UTA Guard #3

Keyonte George without Lauri or JJJ, put up 31 points (11-of-27 FGs, 4-of-4 FTs), four rebounds, three assists, five 3-pointers, and five turnovers in the 117-111 overtime loss to the Spurs.

Keyonte had a lot on his shoulders with the injuries to Jaren Jackson and Lauri Markkanen. He was the go to guy and helped keep the Jazz in the game. He was one of three people on the team to play more than thirty minutes in the loss. If you have Keyonte George in redraft leagues, it will be worth paying attention to how many points he’s scoring in case there is a sell-high window due the injuries and with Darryn continuing to get better.
Keyonte George

UTA Guard #3

Utah Jazz will start Keyonte George, Darryn Peterson, Josh Green, Ace Bailey, and Jaxson Hayes against the Spurs.

Josh Green will start in place of Lauri Markkanen tonight who is out with a wrist injury, and Jaxson Hayes will return to the starting lineup for the injured Jaren Jackson Jr. Green and Hayes can be used as streamers but neither will be factors in most redraft leagues. Look for Darryn and Ace to pick up the scoring in this game.
Jaxson Hayes

UTA Center-Forward #11

Jaxson Hayes (shoulder) is available for Wednesday’s game against the Spurs.

Hayes is back after sitting out Monday’s loss to the Grizzlies with a sore right shoulder. With Lauri Markkanen and Jaren Jackson Jr. out, he may start on Wednesday. Hayes isn’t the most reliable fantasy option, but the opportunity makes him worthy of a look in deep leagues.
Lauri Markkanen

UTA Forward-Center #23

Lauri Markkanen (wrist) is out for Wednesday’s game against the Spurs.

Markkanen is dealing with a sprained right wrist that he suffered Monday against the Grizzlies. Without Markkanen, Kyle Filipowski figures to see enough minutes to make him a worthwhile streamer.
