Rotoworld Player News

Jusuf Nurkić

UTA Center #30

Jusuf Nurkić (illness) was upgraded to questionable for Saturday’s game against the Heat.

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.
Kevin Love

UTA Forward-Center #42

Kevin Love (knee) has been ruled out against the Heat on Saturday.

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.
Jusuf Nurkić

UTA Center #30

Jusuf Nurkić (illness) is doubtful to play against the Heat on Saturday.

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.
Lauri Markkanen

UTA Forward-Center #23

Lauri Markkanen (reconditioning) is questionable to play against the Heat on Saturday.

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.
Jusuf Nurkić

UTA Center #30

Jusuf Nurkić tallied 17 points (7-of-19 FGs, 2-of-3 FTs), 11 rebounds, 14 assists, one steal, one block and one three-pointer in Thursday’s loss to the Spurs.

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.
Ace Bailey

UTA Forward #19

Ace Bailey recorded 25 points (11-of-16 FGs, 1-of-1 FTs), six rebounds, two assists and two three-pointers in Thursday’s loss to the Jazz.

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.
Keyonte George

UTA Guard #3

Keyonte George produced 23 points (7-of-15 FGs, 5-of-5 FTs), four rebounds, five assists, two steals, one block and four three-pointers in Thursday’s loss to the Spurs.

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.
Brice Sensabaugh

UTA Forward #28

Brice Sensabaugh (illness) is available to play against the Spurs on Thursday.

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.
Keyonte George

UTA Guard #3

Keyonte George (forearm) is available for Thursday’s game against the Spurs.

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.
Brice Sensabaugh

UTA Forward #28

Brice Sensabaugh (illness) is questionable for Thursday’s game against the Spurs.

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.
