Utah Jazz DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Utah Jazz forward John Collins (hip) has been ruled out for the team's Monday night contest against the Denver Nuggets. This will be his fourth missed game with a hip contusion that he suffered against the Brooklyn Nets on December 21. Walker Kessler will likely see some added minutes along with rookie Cody Williams. Kessler posted a double-double with 11 points and 11 rebounds against the 76ers on Saturday while Williams had six points, five rebounds, and one assist.

Utah Jazz forward/centerJohn Collins(hip) will not be playing against the Portland Trail Blazers on Thursday. Collins has been suffering from a hip contusion and will miss his second consecutive contest. With the 27-year-old absent, Micah Potter will likely see more minutes and scoring opportunities than usual. In his last outing against the Cavs on Monday, he played 26 minutes with 11 points, seven rebounds, two assists, one steal, and one block. Potter could have another productive game Thursday going against a terrible Blazers defense.

On Thursday, Utah Jazz guardJordan Clarkson(foot) will not suit up against the Portland Trail Blazers. Clarkson had been sidelined earlier in the season for seven straight games due to left foot plantar fasciitis. He likely re-injured his left foot. While the 32-year-old guard is out, Brice Sensabaugh, Svi Mykhailiuk, Isaiah Collier, and Johnny Juzang would like to see more minutes on the court versus the Trail Blazers.

Utah Jazz forward/center John Collins (hip) is questionable for Thursday's matchup against Portland. He's dealing with a hip contusion and might be absent for a second straight game. As a result of Collins' absence, Micah Potter hopped into the starting five for Monday's clash with Cleveland. He put in a good performance in 26 minutes with 11 points, seven rebounds, two assists, one steal, and one block. The Trail Blazers' defense is horrible, and they struggle to rebound the ball, so Potter will find himself in a perfect spot for another productive outing if he continues to fill in for Collins.

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.
