Utah Jazz DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

According to Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune, Utah Jazz guardJordan Clarkson(heel) won't play Tuesday versus the Golden State Warriors due to injury management for his left foot. On Monday, Clarkson posted 13 points, three rebounds and five assists across 22 minutes in a loss to the Bucks. It was his first game back after missing 10 consecutive contests after recovering from an injured left foot. His next chance to suit up comes at home on Thursday against Minnesota. In the meantime, Utah will have to rely upon Keyonte George and Collin Sexton to take on the majority of the team's backcourt minutes that will be available.

The Utah Jazz announced forwardLauri Markkanen(back) will be unavailable for Tuesday's matchup with the Golden State Warriors due to lower back injury management. Several of the Jazz's players will be out for Tuesday's game as they are in the second half of a back-to-back set. John Collins(illness) andWalker Kessler(shoulder) will also be out of the lineup. Drew Eubanks,Kyle Filipowski and Micah Potter will likely see expanded roles in the team's frontcourt this evening.

Utah Jazz guard Jordan Clarkson (heel) is listed as available for Monday night's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. Clarkson had missed the last 10 games for Utah while dealing with plantar fasciitis in his left foot. As of now it's unclear whether the 32-year-old will have a minutes restriction, adding some volatility to any fantasy managers or DFS players looking to insert him into their lineups tonight. Clarkson has averaged 16.0 PPG this season while shooting 33.9% from three. Milwaukee has the league's sixth best defensive rating in January, making tonight's matchup a tough sell for those looking to start Clarkson. Fantasy managers and DFS managers should temper expectations on Monday night.

Utah Jazz forward John Collins (illness) will not play on Monday against the Milwaukee Bucks due to an illness. The former Hawk was originally listed as questionable but has since been downgraded to out as it seems the illness is impacting him a little more than the team would like. Collins has only appeared in three of the last 16 games due to various ailments. So, Kyle Filipowski and Brice Sensabaugh will likely see added opportunities since Walker Kessler (shoulder) has also been ruled out. Filipowski has the better route to more minutes and just posted 11 points, four rebounds, two assists, and one steal in their last game.

Utah Jazz center Walker Kessler (shoulder) has been downgraded from questionable to out on Monday and will not face the Milwaukee Bucks. The young big man suffered a shoulder contusion in their last game against the Memphis Grizzlies after seeing the court for 29 minutes and posting 11 points, 10 rebounds, one assist, two steals, and two blocks. While Kessler and John Collins (illness) are both out, Kyle Filipowski will likely see some added opportunities at center. Across 20 minutes against the Grizzlies, he registered 11 points, four rebounds, two assists, and one steal.
