Utah Jazz DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Utah Jazz guard Jordan Clarkson (foot) has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup against the Lakers. He'll be sitting out a fourth consecutive game. Clarkson has featured just once since Nov. 19 due to a foot problem. With him unavailable, Johnny Juzang and Isaiah Collier get to play more, but neither player has been a consistent source of fantasy value. Clarkson's absence also boosts the usage of Keyonte George and Collin Sexton. Both players are looking to produce a bounce-back performance on Sunday after combining for only 18 points in Saturday's 106-94 loss to Dallas.

Utah Jazz forward/center John Collins (knee) won't play in Wednesday's game against the Nuggets. The veteran was initially labeled as questionable because of a knee contusion. Unfortunately, he was downgraded to out. The Jazz will be down some size versus Nikola Jokic, with Lauri Markkanen (personal) and Kyle Filipowski (leg) already ruled out. As a result, Walker Kessler could see more work than usual. Drew Eubanks and Brice Sensabaugh should also get more scoring chances.

Utah Jazz forward John Collins (knee) is questionable for Wednesday's contest with the Denver Nuggets due to a knee contusion. With Lauri Markkanen(personal) andKyle Filipowski(leg) already ruled out, the Jazz could be quite shorthanded if the 27-year-old can't play. However, if he can give it a go, Collins could have significant fantasy value as he will be relied upon heavily with Markkanen sidelined.

The Utah Jazz announced that forward Lauri Markkanen (personal) will not play against the Denver Nuggets on Wednesday for personal reasons. On Tuesday against the Spurs, the 27-year-old suffered a contusion on his left knee, forcing him to exit the contest early. However, the Jazz injury report shows no indication that he is sitting because of the injury. WithKyle Filipowski(leg) unavailable andJohn Collins(knee) listed as questionable, Walker KesslerandBrice Sensabaughcould see more time on the court than usual.

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.
