Utah Jazz DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Utah Jazz forward/center John Collins (hip) will return from an eight-game absence on Wednesday against Oklahoma City. A hip injury knocked Collins out of the lineup after he had enjoyed a productive start to the season. The 27-year-old averages 17.9 points, 8.3 rebounds, and 1.1 steals for the campaign. However, Collins may see only limited action on Wednesday after playing just once since Dec. 21, and he faces a top defensive team, which might also hinder his productivity.

Philadelphia 76ers forward Kenyon Martin Jr. (foot) remains out for Tuesday's tilt against Denver. The 24-year-old is working his way back from a left foot stress reaction. It was reported last week that Martin Jr. has been cleared for on-court activities but remains without a clear timeline for his return to action. Martin Jr. averaged 6.4 points and 3.0 rebounds across 20.0 minutes before landing on the shelf. With Philadelphia also battling other injuries, Jeff Dowtin Jr., Justin Edwards, and Ricky Council IV have stepped into the rotation, while veteran Eric Gordon has seen an uptick in playing time.

Utah Jazz guard Collin Sexton (rest) won't suit up for Monday's rematch with the Pelicans. The 26-year-old has had issues staying on the floor at times throughout his career. But after logging 78 games during the 2023-24 campaign, he has only missed one heading into Monday's contest. Sexton will likely be back in the lineup on Wednesday in Oklahoma City. But with Jordan Clarkson (foot), Lauri Markkanen (back), and John Collins (hip) also sidelined, Isaiah Collier and Keyonte George are the favorites to lead the way on the scoring end. Brice Sensabaugh will also have streaming value.

Utah Jazz forward/center Micah Potter (illness) has been ruled out on Friday for the matchup with the New Orleans Pelicans. John Collins (hip), Lauri Markkanen (back), and Walker Kessler (rest) are all sidelined as well, so they'll roll with an extremely thin frontcourt. Kyle Filipowski could move into the starting center role while Brice Sensabaugh is also a good streaming option. The former registered eight points, two rebounds, and two assists while the latter had 19 points, four rebounds, and four assists in their last game.

Utah Jazz guard Jordan Clarkson (foot) will not take the court on Friday against the New Orleans Pelicans while he deals with some plantar fasciitis in his left foot. The veteran combo guard hasn't played in their last six games after only being able to register three minutes of playing time against the Miami Heat on January 4. Collin Sexton is back in the lineup on Friday, but Keyonte George and Isaiah Collier could be good streaming options in deeper leagues. The former posted 26 points, six assists, four rebounds, and two steals in their last game against the Hornets.
