Johnny

Juzang

Martin has missed Utah’s last four games, while Springer has been inactive for four straight and nine of Utah’s last ten. Their absences have resulted in more playing time for players such as Johnny Juzang and Svi Mykhailiuk, but neither has been consistent enough to merit rostering, even in deep leagues.

Clarkson did not play in Sunday’s loss to the Timberwolves, and his return meant fewer minutes for Johnny Juzang. While the veteran guard shot 50 percent from the field and dished out three assists, he was also responsible for four turnovers. Add in the 22 minutes, and there may not be much to gain from rostering Clarkson down the stretch. As for Juzang, he finished the loss with eight points, two rebounds, one steal and two three-pointers in 16 minutes. He isn’t a must-roster player, but there will be nights when Juzang is allowed to start as Utah looks to improve its draft lottery odds.

George and Clarkson are available after sitting out Sunday’s loss to the Timberwolves. Their returns likely mean fewer minutes for Johnny Juzang. However, Svi Mykhailiuk’s absence means Juzang should remain in the rotation, but he is not a player who has to be rostered in most fantasy leagues.

Utah continues to list multiple key players on the injury report, but Clarkson and George have a chance to return for the second leg of a back-to-back set after sitting on Sunday. If Clarkson and George are absent again on Monday, Isaiah Collier, Johnny Juzang and Brice Sensabaugh could see more run.

Clarkson and George are among the Jazz players who will not be available for Sunday’s game, leaving the Jazz light on perimeter options. Isaiah Collier and Collin Sexton should play plenty, with Johnny Juzang and Brice Sensabaugh playing more. Collier and Sensabaugh will likely be the most valuable moving forward.

Markkanen is available after initially being questionable for Wednesday’s game. His return will push Johnny Juzang to the bench, making it unnecessary to stream him. Juzang should remain in the rotation, but he’s only worth the risk on nights when the Jazz are playing without multiple starters.

Markkanen has missed Utah’s last nine games with a back issue, and there is a chance that he misses a 10th-straight on Wednesday. Johnny Juzang should remain in the starting lineup as long as Markkanen is sidelined.

Markkanen is set to miss his ninth-straight game as he continues to manage a back injury. The Jazz have no shortage of players that can fill in off the bench as Johnny Juzang, Brice Sensabaugh and Kyle Filipowski could all see increased minutes and usage against Boston.

Markkanen has missed eight in a row, and Collins has missed five. Both have a chance to return. If they’re sidelined, Johnny Juzang, Brice Sensabaugh and Kyle Filipowski could see increased run.

Juzang has started six of Utah’s last eight games, but the offensive production hasn’t been there on most occasions. Sunday’s defeat was the second time he’s reached double figures in those six starts, and the seven rebounds were a nice bonus. However, the inconsistency makes Juzang little more than a dart throw in deep leagues. That may change if the Jazz decide to shut down their veterans completely, but even that isn’t guaranteed. Utah plays four games during Week 19, starting with the Celtics on Monday.
