Walker Kessler - Records double-double in defeatKessler ended with 16 points (8-10 FG, 0-2 FT), 12 rebounds, five assists, three blocks and one steal in 31 minutes during Wednesday's 122-103 loss to the Nuggets.

ImpactKessler's result was impressive considering the opponent. Contending with Nikola Jokic for boards is no easy feat, but Kessler actually recorded more rebounds than the All-Star in the loss. Since his return to action after a six-game absence, Kessler has recorded two double-doubles over three games.

Collin Sexton - Leads team with 26 points in lossSexton chipped in 26 points (9-16 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 6-7 FT), one rebound and four assists in 39 minutes during Wednesday's 122-103 loss to the Nuggets.

ImpactSexton posted a solid line despite the blowout, as the short-handed roster depended on solid backcourt performances due to the numerous injuries up front. Although the Jazz's record doesn't reflect the backcourt tandem's success, Sexton and Keyonte George are working well together with complementary skill sets.

Micah Potter - Grabs 16 rebounds as fill-inPotter finished with nine points (3-7 FG, 3-6 3Pt), 16 rebounds, three assists and one block across 32 minutes during Wednesday's 122-103 loss to the Nuggets.

ImpactThe two-way prospect made it out of the G League due to Utah's numerous frontcourt absences, and he was a direct fill-in for John Collins (knee) in the loss. He generated a nice rebound total despite Nikola Jokic's imposing presence, and he will probably stick with the prime-time club for a few games while Utah gets healthy.

Michael Porter Jr. - Posts 19 points in victoryPorter logged 19 points (8-15 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), seven rebounds, four assists and one steal across 31 minutes during Wednesday's 122-103 win over the Jazz.

ImpactPorter shot over 50 percent from the field during the blowout win. He snapped short two-game double-double streak, but they have been coming fast and furious over the past two weeks, with three double-doubles over the past five games.

Jamal Murray - Solid line in blowoutMurray finished with 22 points (10-18 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds, eight assists and four steals across 36 minutes during Wednesday's 122-103 win over the Jazz.

ImpactMurray stayed on the court for 36 minutes despite the lopsided win. Although he only made one shot in six attempts beyond the arc, he made several plays in transition and offset the loss with a good mid-range result. Murray is on a decent five-game run, averaging 19.4 points, 7.4 assists, 4.8 rebounds and 1.7 steals over the span.

Nikola Jokic - Dominates in decisive winJokic racked up 30 points (13-19 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-3 FT), 10 rebounds, seven assists, one block and one steal across 34 minutes during Wednesday's 122-103 win over Utah.

ImpactThe short-handed Jazz had no answer for Jokic, who made plays all the court. The All-Star is back to his winning ways since his three-game absence while the Jazz went 1-2 without him. Since his return, he's averaged 29.8 points, 11.8 rebounds and 8.0 assists.
