Walker Kessler's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Utah Jazz center Walker Kessler (rest) will not be in the lineup on Sunday against Brooklyn. Following a 31-minute outing against Phoenix on Saturday, the Jazz are resting the seven-foot giant. John Collins (hip) also remains out of the lineup, and several other frontcourt pieces are questionable for the contest. This could lead to Drew Eubanks and Micah Potter featuring heavily in the rotation. On paper, it's a good matchup for Utah's healthy big men, as Brooklyn allows the sixth-most fantasy points to opposing centers.

Utah Jazz center Walker Kessler (hip) has been listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Knicks. He will hope to return to the lineup after missing six games. John Collins has started alongside Kyle Filipowski (ankle) during Kessler's absence, but the two might now share the frontcourt, as Filipowski has been ruled out for Saturday's contest. If Kessler is not ready to return, Drew Eubanks and Brice Sensabaugh will take on larger roles, with one of them likely starting. However, the Knicks own outstanding defensive numbers against opposing frontcourts, so this isn't a good matchup for Utah's big men.

Utah Jazz center Walker Kessler (hip) will remain sidelined for Thursday's matchup against San Antonio. He has been ruled out for a sixth consecutive game due to right hip bursitis. John Collins will continue to start for Utah, with Kyle Filipowski also picking up extra work. Victor Wembanyama's (knee) presence typically makes meetings with the Spurs very uncomfortable for opposing bigs, but the French sensation is currently nursing an injury. This boosts Collins' and Filipowski's chances of having a good night in the matchup.
