Off injury report O'Neale (thumb) is available for Friday's game against the Suns.

Out vs. OKC O'Neale (thumb) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Thunder, Eric Walden of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

Impact O'Neale won't be available for Wednesday's tilt with Oklahoma City due to a right thumb issue that he presumably picked up in Tuesday's win over Memphis. In his absence, Rudy Gay, Eric Paschall and Danuel House should see increased minutes.

Unlikely to play Wednesday O'Neale is doubtful for Wednesday's game against the Thunder due to right thumb soreness.

Impact O'Neale was a late addition to Wednesday's injury report, but it appears likely that he'll be held out against Oklahoma City. If he's ultimately unavailable, Rudy Gay, Eric Paschall and Danuel House should see additional run.

Grabs seven rebounds Thursday O'Neale closed Thursday's 122-109 win over the Lakers with two points (1-7 FG, 0-4 3Pt), seven rebounds and two assists over 29 minutes.

Impact O'Neale couldn't get things going offensively, but he finished second on Utah in rebounds and posted a team-best plus-18 during his time on the court. The forward also recorded zero turnovers for his fourth straight game. O'Neale hasn't scored more than six points in any of his past six contests and is shooting 25.0 percent from the field over that stretch, so he's not a viable fantasy asset at the moment.

Posts double-double in blowout win O'Neale totaled 11 points (4-6 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), 10 rebounds and three assists in 24 minutes during Wednesday's 123-85 victory over Portland.

Impact All of Utah's starters played less than 25 minutes due to the large lead the team held throughout most of the game. O'Neale still managed to put together a strong fantasy line, finishing with his first double-double since Jan. 5. The steady forward has produced low-end fantasy value since the start of February with per-game averages of 9.3 points, 4.6 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 2.0 three-pointers and 1.0 steals along with strong shooting rates of 54.7 percent from the field and 88.9 percent from the charity stripe across 14 games.

Drops 13 points in Monday's loss O'Neale notched 13 points (5-8 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 0-1 FT), five rebounds and two assists in 31 minutes during Monday's 111-103 loss to the Mavericks.

Impact O'Neale put together another serviceable performance in the loss, although the lack of defense was somewhat disappointing. All in all, it's been a successful season for O'Neale, flirting with 12-team relevance on most nights. He's not the most attractive option given his lack of upside, but managers can typically throw him on the end of their bench without too many concerns.

Notches well-rounded effort O'Neale ended with 10 points (4-6 FG, 2-4 3Pt), seven rebounds, one assist, one block and three steals over 32 minutes during Wednesday's 106-101 loss to the Lakers.

Impact O'Neale wasn't spectacular in the contest, but he was one of four Utah players to notch double-digit points while adding seven boards and three thefts. The fifth-year forward has started every game in which he has played for the Jazz this season and is averaging a hefty 31.4 minutes per contest, though his value is more tangible in real life than in fantasy. O'Neale is posting 7.6 points, 4.9 boards, 2.5 assists, 1.5 three-pointers and 1.3 steals on the campaign.

Quiet again in win O'Neale amassed six points (2-7 FG, 2-6 3Pt), two rebounds and five assists in 29 minutes during Wednesday's 111-85 win over the Warriors.

Impact O'Neale remains a stalwart piece in Utah's starting lineup, but he hasn't been much of a fantasy producer despite seeing consistently solid minutes. The fifth-year forward has scored exactly six points in three straight games, shooting only 30 percent (6-for-20) over that span. O'Neale is a much more valuable asset to the Jazz than he is to fantasy managers.

Mediocre in loss Sunday O'Neale racked up nine points (4-6 FG, 1-3 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists and two steals in 30 minutes during Sunday's 126-106 loss to the Timberwolves.

Impact O'Neale was serviceable, at best, in the loss, continuing what has been a bit of a dry run for the defensive-minded forward. His playing time is locked in moving forward, that much is clear. Unfortunately, his productivity cannot be relied upon to the same level, leaving him a backend commodity. Fantasy managers in 12-team leagues can throw him on the end of their bench, although to be honest, seeking upside from a streaming target might be the way to go.

Will be back Wednesday O'Neale is not on the injury report for Wednesday's game against the Suns.

Impact O'Neale was one of several regulars held out of Monday's game, but his absence from the injury report indicates that he'll be back in the lineup for Wednesday's rematch against the Suns.

JANUARY 25, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Sidelined Monday O'Neale (knee) won't play Monday against the Suns, Sarah Todd of The Deseret News reports.

Impact O'Neale will be held out of this one due to tendinitis in his right knee. Expect Eric Paschall and Rudy Gay to see big minutes in the frontcourt Monday night with O'Neale, Bojan Bogdanovic (finger) and Rudy Gobert (calf) all out.

JANUARY 25, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable with knee issue O'Neale is questionable for Monday's contest against the Suns due to right knee tendinitis, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

Impact O'Neale was held scoreless across 32 minutes during Sunday's loss to the Warriors and is jeopardy of missing the second half of Utah's back-to-back. Bojan Bogdanovic (finger) and Joe Ingles (ankle) are both questionable as well, plus Mike Conley (rest), Rudy Gobert (calf) and Donovan Mitchell (concussion) have all been ruled out. Fantasy managers will be implored to monitor Utah's injury report leading up to game time to figure out who will be available for the Jazz.

JANUARY 24, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Grabs season-high 15 rebounds O'Neale totaled three points (1-5 FG, 1-5 3Pt), 15 rebounds, five assists and two steals over 36 minutes during Wednesday's 116-111 loss to Houston.

Impact Although it wasn't a good scoring night for O'Neale, his 15 rebounds were his best total this season. O'Neale's scoring totals can jump around, but his rebound and assist totals are relatively steady, and thanks to a season average of 31.6 minutes per game, he is never short of opportunities to produce.

JANUARY 20, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Subdued performance Sunday O'Neale racked up 11 points (4-6 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one steal over 31 minutes during Sunday's 125-102 victory over the Nuggets.

Impact O'Neale remained efficient in the win, contributing in multiple categories at the same time. Unfortunately, his numbers were serviceable, at best, basically summing up what has been a so-so season. Managers in 12-team leagues could certainly do worse than having O'Neale on the end of their bench but with zero upside, you are almost certainly better off streaming that position.
