Ace Bailey led the Jazz with 20 points (8-of-16 FGs) and four three-pointers against the Clippers on Tuesday.

Bailey was able to score at least 20 points for the third time in his last four games. Unfortunately, even if it was an efficient night, he didn’t provide value in any other categories. Bailey should have more big scoring nights as the season progresses, but his value in category leagues will be dependent on how much he can contribute in other areas. Still, the minutes should be there, and he has had success on offense. He’ll look to stay hot against the Warriors on Wednesday.
Lauri Markkanen

UTA Forward-Center #23

Lauri Markkanen returned to the lineup on Tuesday and finished with 19 points (5-of-15 FGs), five rebounds, four assists, two blocks and three three-pointers in a 115-103 loss to the Clippers.

Following a seven-game absence, Markkanen was back in the lineup for this game. However, it wasn’t the triumphant return that managers were hoping for. He was held to fewer than 20 points for the first time since Dec. 5, but the positive part is that he’s back out on the floor. Markkanen shouldn’t struggle like this often, and he’ll look to get back on track in their next game. This was the first night of a back-to-back, so Markkanen could get the night off on Wednesday after an extended absence, even if it was because of an illness.
Isaiah Collier

UTA Guard #8

Isaiah Collier started on Tuesday and contributed 12 points (4-of-9 FGs), four rebounds and nine assists against the Clippers.

Keyonte George got a rest game on the first night of a back-to-back, which allowed Collier to start for the sixth time this season. He came close to recording a double-double, and he is typically a consistent source of assists when he gets the minutes. This was the second straight game he had exactly nine assists, and he has reached that mark in three of his last four. If George misses more time over the final few months of the year, Collier should play enough to provide more than just dimes.
Lauri Markkanen

UTA Forward-Center #23

Lauri Markkanen (conditioning) is available for Tuesday’s matchup with the Clippers.

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.
Jusuf Nurkić

UTA Center #30

Jusuf Nurkić (illness) is out for Tuesday’s matchup with the Clippers, and Kevin Love (knee) is available.

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.
Kevin Love

UTA Forward-Center #42

Kevin Love (knee) is probable for Tuesday’s game against the Clippers.

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.
Jusuf Nurkić

UTA Center #30

Jusuf Nurkić (illness) is doubtful for Tuesday’s game against the Clippers.

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.
Keyonte George

UTA Guard #3

Keyonte George (rest) is out for Tuesday’s game against the Clippers.

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.
Lauri Markkanen

UTA Forward-Center #23

Lauri Markkanen (conditioning) practiced on Monday and is expected to play in Tuesday’s game against the Clippers.

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.
Isaiah Collier

UTA Guard #8

Isaiah Collier recorded 16 points (6-of-10 FGs, 4-of-6 FTs), six rebounds, nine assists and one block in Saturday’s loss to the Heat.

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.
