Utah Jazz DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Utah Jazz guard Jordan Clarkson (foot) will exit the lineup on Tuesday versus San Antonio. He returned from a one-game absence on Saturday versus New York but struggled in the contest and will get at least one night off again. Clarkson was limited to only four points on 2-for-9 shooting against the Knicks. Johnny Juzang, who dropped four three-point bombs on Saturday, might see more minutes on the floor due to Clarkson's absence, with Isaiah Collier also looking at a slightly larger role off the bench. San Antonio allows the 12th-most bench points in the league, making this a decent matchup for Utah's second unit.

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 guard Jordan Clarkson (foot) might be absent for a second consecutive game on Saturday against the Knicks. The team considers him questionable for the matchup. Clarkson's absence opens up backcourt minutes for the likes of Isaiah Collier and Johnny Juzang. The two aren't reliable fantasy options, although Collier did a good job as a playmaker on Thursday versus San Antonio, dishing out six assists in 24 minutes off the bench.

Utah Jazz guard Jordan Clarkson (foot) will not play against San Antonio on Thursday. He's battling a foot problem and will miss his third game of the season. Clarkson is a high-volume shooter, meaning there will be a lot of shots available for the rest of the team in Thursday's game, while his absence gives Isaiah Collier a chance to log extended minutes. Collier hasn't been very productive in his first seven career games and isn't a recommended fantasy option.

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.
