Jordan Clarkson - Erupts for career-high 45 pointsClarkson poured in a career-high 45 points (15-21 FG, 7-13 3Pt, 8-8 FT) and added two assists, one steal and one block across 35 minutes Saturday in the Jazz's 134-125 win over the...ImpactWith Mike Conley (rest) and Rudy Gobert (foot) sitting out the second half of a back-to-back set, Utah needed somebody to step up and Clarkson certainly answered the call. As per usual, Clarkson didn't offer much in the way of peripheral numbers, but those rostering him for production in the scoring, three-pointers and free-throw percentage categories couldn't have come away happier with his performance. Though Clarkson has taken a step back in 2021-22 after winning the NBA's Sixth Man of the Year Award a season ago, he's still been a serviceable back-end roster option in 12-team leagues with averages of 15.9 points, 3.3 rebounds, 2.5 triples, 2.3 assists and 0.8 steals on 41.6 percent shooting from the field and 84.8 percent shooting from the charity stripe.
