Clarkson

Clarkson being bumped into by Pistons forward Paul Reed after the latter made a basket morphed into an altercation that resulted in two ejections. The Jazz guard and Pistons rookie Ron Holland II were ejected after they squared up, seemingly ready to throw punches before players and coaches got between them. Clarkson played 13 minutes, finishing with three points (1-of-6 FGs), one rebound, five assists, one steal, one blocked shot, and one 3-pointer.

Clarkson has scored 20 points or more in the two games he’s played since returning from a case of plantar fasciitis that sidelined him for seven. The issue for fantasy managers is that he doesn’t provide much value beyond points, so Clarkson remains ranked outside the top 200 in 9-cat formats. He’s better in turnover-punt builds but remains well outside the top 150. Clarkson is another player whose name may come up in trade rumors, as the Jazz need to embrace the rebuild.

Clarkson missed seven straight games with a foot injury, but played Friday and had 23 points against the Suns. He was originally questionable for Monday before being upgraded to probable. Clarkson has now been deemed good to go and should play without limitations against the Clippers.

Clarkson is trending toward playing in a second straight contest after missing seven consecutive games with foot issues. He handled a full workload his last time out and there’s been no indication that he won’t again to kick off a new week.

Clarkson has been dealing with foot and heel issues for most of this season, limiting his effectiveness on the court. If he cannot play on Monday, more minutes will be available on the perimeter, with Isaiah Collier and Johnny Juzang among the options available to help fill the void. Neither will be worth streaming in most leagues.

After missing the team’s last seven games, Clarkson was back in the lineup on Friday and got right to work. He had his highest-scoring game of the season and shot the ball far more efficiently than what we’re accustomed to. Clarkson isn’t a great option in category leagues, even if he was in this game. However, he is an excellent player in points leagues and should be picked back up off the waiver wire if he was dropped. Clarkson should continue to pour in the points off the bench for the Jazz moving forward.

Clarkson is back after a seven-game absence, giving the Jazz additional scoring production off the bench. At best, he should be rostered in deep leagues. Fantasy managers should expect Clarkson’s minutes to be restricted due to the time off.

Markkanen appeared in Utah’s last game, though he’s missed two of the last six. Clarkson has missed seven in a row, but he’s poised to return. Markkanen should be expected to handle a typical workload, though Clarkson could see a lighter workload after such a long layoff.

Clarkson has missed seven straight games and eight of their last nine, but he could be back in the lineup for this game. Isaiah Collier, Johnny Juzang and Brice Sensabaugh have all taken on larger roles recently, but they’d all lose out on some minutes if Clarkson returns.

Clarkson will miss a seventh straight game, with his absence freeing up minutes for Brice Sensabaugh and Johnny Juzang. Neither has been productive enough to merit being streamed in fantasy leagues.
