Utah Jazz DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Utah Jazz guard Jordan Clarkson (foot, illness) will be in the lineup on Monday against the Chicago Bulls. The veteran sat out the first leg of a back-to-back against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Sunday. In Monday's game, Clarkson should continue to provide secondary scoring off the bench. His season has been heavily interrupted by health issues, but he has performed well when on the floor, averaging 16.5 points with 3.2 rebounds and 3.8 assists.

Utah Jazz guard Collin Sexton (ankle) will sit out Monday's game against the Chicago Bulls. He is managing a left ankle injury and won't be available following a 34-minute shift against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Sunday. Sexton's exit from the lineup will create more opportunities for Keyonte George (foot, illness) and Jordan Clarkson (foot, illness), both of whom are returning on Monday. Isaiah Collier will also continue to have a big role in the backcourt.

Utah Jazz forward Lauri Markkanen (ankle) will take the court on Monday against the Chicago Bulls. He was initially listed as questionable on the injury report after Markkanen played 26 minutes in Sunday's loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves. Markkanen is ready to make his fourth consecutive appearance on Monday night, but the team has limited his workload lately. Since missing nine games due to a back issue, Markkanen has averaged only 24.3 minutes across three contests, scoring 15.3 points and grabbing 4.0 rebounds.

Utah Jazz forwardSvi Mykhailiuk (foot) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Chicago Bulls. Mykhailiuk is dealing with a sore right foot. The 27-year-old has played in 28 games this season and averaged 20.1 minutes per contest. His next chance to return to the Jazz's lineup is Wednesday versus the Wizards. While Mykhailiuk is sidelined this evening, more playing opportunities might open up for 24-year-old Johnny Juzang. Still, he is not a player who will make an impact in fantasy against the Bulls.

Utah Jazz forward Kenyon Martin Jr. (elbow) will not play in Sunday's clash against the Minnesota Timberwolves. He was added late to the injury report due to right elbow soreness, and the team has now officially ruled him out for the contest. Martin Jr. will not have to wait long for his first opportunity to return, as Utah is scheduled to host the Chicago Bulls on Monday night. In Sunday's game, we may see more of Micah Potter and Brice Sensabaugh due to Martin Jr.'s absence from the lineup. Sensabaugh, who averages 13.4 points and 3.1 rebounds for the month, is the better bet to make noise in fantasy competitions.
