Walker Kessler Will Play Versus Denver

Utah Jazz center Walker Kessler (foot) will play on Saturday against the Denver Nuggets. He missed the last four games with a sprained right foot. However, the 2022 No. 22 overall pick is good to go. Walker has had a down season compared to his rookie campaign, averaging 8.5 points and 7.4 rebounds. But he's at least made up for it defensively, logging a career-high 2.7 blocks. With that in mind, Walker is worthy of being featured in all category lineups. On the other hand, the 22-year-old has had some weak showings against the Nuggets throughout his career, so DFS participants should consider alternative options.

Walker Kessler Remains On The Shelf Wednesday

Utah Jazz center Walker Kessler (foot) won't be available for a fourth straight game on Wednesday versus Chicago. The big guy from Auburn continues to nurse a right foot sprain. With Kessler out, Omer Yurtseven has become part of the regular rotation, but he hasn't made any noise. Brice Sensabaugh and Luka Samanic also get a chance to log more minutes, particularly in a situation where Kessler isn't the only frontcourt piece missing. However, the players haven't produced well enough to deserve attention from fantasy managers.

Lauri Markkanen Sits Out Second Consecutive Game

Utah Jazz forward Lauri Markkanen (quadriceps) won't have a reunion with the Chicago Bulls on Wednesday, as he has been ruled out for the game. The 2023 All-Star, who started his NBA career in Chicago, will miss a second consecutive contest. Markkanen's absence on Monday versus Washington gave Luka Samanic his first start of the season. The 24-year-old couldn't take advantage of the opportunity, finishing with five points and two rebounds in 23 minutes. Trigger-happy guards Collin Sexton and Jordan Clarkson get extra shots without Markkanen. And with Taylor Hendricks (toe) and Walker Kessler (foot) also absent from the Jazz frontcourt, Brice Sensabaugh and Omer Yurtseven have a chance to grab extra shifts.

Jordan Clarkson Off The Injury Report

Utah Jazz guard Jordan Clarkson (illness) isn't listed on the NBA's official injury report heading toward Monday's contest against the Washington Wizards. The veteran wasn't feeling well and didn't suit up on Saturday against the Miami Heat, allowing Talen Horton-Tucker to get more involved. Clarkson combined for just nine points in his previous two games, so fantasy managers may have concerns about putting him into their lineups. However, with Lauri Markkanen (hip) ruled out for Monday night, Clarkson could benefit significantly from a production standpoint.

Walker Kessler Still Out On Monday

Utah Jazz center Walker Kessler (foot) won't play in Monday's game against the visiting Wizards. The 22-year-old will now miss his third consecutive contest because of a sprained foot. As a result, Taylor Hendricks should continue to fill the hole in the lineup. The 2023 No. 9 overall pick has shown flashes of promise in five starts this season, averaging 9.4 points and 5.8 rebounds. While Hendricks has a way to go before becoming a universal option for all fantasy lineups, he should remain more productive while Kessler is on the shelf.
