Utah Jazz DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Philadelphia 76ers forward Kenyon Martin Jr. (foot) suffered a stress reaction in his left foot, an MRI revealed on Tuesday. Unfortunately, he will miss at least two weeks before he's re-evaluated. KJ is having his best season in years, averaging 6.4 points. While that hasn't made Martin a practical fantasy asset in redraft formats, his services have at least been useful for DFS managers at times throughout the 2024-25 campaign. With Eric Gordon (mouth) listed as probable, he may find his way into the starting lineup. However, Gordon has a long way to go before earning a spot on fantasy rosters.

Philadelphia 76ers forward Kenyon Martin Jr. (foot) missed the end of Monday's contest against San Antonio. He didn't see any action in the fourth quarter because of soreness in his left foot. Making his fourth start in a row, Martin Jr. notched four points, six rebounds, one assist, and one steal in 20 minutes. Andre Drummond (toe) also made an early exit on Monday, so the 76ers might have to play their Christmas Day matchup against Boston without two rotational pieces. Guerschon Yabusele and Caleb Martin will be asked to put in extra work if the pair isn't available.

Utah Jazz forward John Collins (hip) has officially been ruled out of Monday night's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Collins has a left hip contusion that's forcing him out of action. Collins has been a very effective offensive option for the Jazz this season, averaging 17.7 PPG and 8.2 RPG. In his absence, expect more minutes from Brice Sensabaugh and Svi Mykhailiuk. Of the two, Mykhailiuk is likely the better fantasy option. Though he's had very spotty availability this season, he's scored 13 and 18 points in his last two starts. In a game where Utah will likely be playing catch-up all game, the opportunity for points could be there.

Utah Jazz forward John Collins (hip) isn't expected to play on Monday versus the Cavs. The veteran had 13 points, 11 rebounds, and one steal in Saturday's win over the Brooklyn Nets. However, he's bothered by a hip contusion, which is expected to keep him off the floor against arguably the best team in the National Basketball Association. With Keyonte George (ankle) doubtful, Lauri Markkanen, Jordan Clarkson, and Collin Sexton should be the preferred offensive options. But once George and Collins are officially ruled out, Brice Sensabaugh and Svi Mykhailiuk would become streaming options for fantasy managers.

Utah Jazz guard Jordan Clarkson (foot) is listed as available for Monday night's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. Clarkson had missed seven straight games dealing with plantar fasciitis in his left foot before returning off the bench and putting up 23 points in Friday night's loss to the Phoenix Suns. The 32-year-old should be in line for another solid outing on Monday night as he put up 21 points against the Clippers earlier this season. Fantasy managers and DFS managers should target the guard as a solid option in the late slate.
