Jazz Should be Concerned About Keyonte George, Insider claimThe Utah Jazz have entered the third year of their rebuilding, and some early-season concerns are trickling in. Most notable is second-year...
Lauri Markkanen - Deemed questionable for ThursdayMarkkanen (back) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Spurs, Tony Jones of The Athletic reports.
ImpactMarkkanen left Tuesday's game against the Kings with back spasms, and he's at risk of missing Thursday's tilt due to the injury. Kyle Filipowski and John Collins would be first in line for minutes if Markkanen were to sit out.

Brice Sensabaugh - Contributes 11 points TuesdaySensabaugh racked up 11 points (4-8 FG, 3-5 3Pt), three rebounds and one assist over 16 minutes during Tuesday's 113-96 loss to Sacramento.
ImpactSensabaugh posted the 10th double-digit scoring effort of his young career Tuesday, and he might be tasked with a slight uptick in usage after Taylor Hendricks suffered a season-ending leg injury. Sensabaugh has averaged 14.8 minutes while appearing in all four of Utah's contests to thus far.

Kyle Filipowski - Near double-double in elevated roleFilipowski recorded 12 points (5-10 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 0-2 FT), eight rebounds, two assists and one steal over 25 minutes during Tuesday's 113-96 loss to Sacramento.
ImpactWith Taylor Hendricks (ankle) likely done for the season and Lauri Markkanen (back) leaving Tuesday's contest early, Filipowski made the most of his expanded role. He totaled just nine minutes in the previous three contests, so it's unclear what the rookie's role will be moving forward, especially if Markkanen isn't sidelined long-term. However, if Markkanen is sidelined, Filipowski should have a clear path to consistent minutes.

Collin Sexton - Struggles off benchSexton recorded four points (0-7 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), two rebounds and one assist over 18 minutes during Tuesday's 113-96 loss to Sacramento.
ImpactSexton was replaced by Jordan Clarkson in the starting lineup who put up 21 points (8-16 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 3-3 FT), five rebounds and three assists. This is bad news for Sexton's fantasy value, and it doesn't help that he couldn't generate anything offensively Tuesday night.

Malik Monk - Notches seven pointsMonk posted seven points (2-11 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, three assists and one block over 26 minutes during Tuesday's 113-96 victory over Utah.
ImpactMonk couldn't find his rhythm Tuesday night, but fantasy managers will at least appreciate that his usage rate remained sturdy. He's off to a quiet start this campaign, posting averages of 12.5 points, 3.0 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 2.0 three-pointers through four outings.

Keyonte George - Shooting woes continueGeorge posted 10 points (3-13 FG, 2-10 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds and 11 assists in 30 minutes during Tuesday's 113-96 loss to the Kings.
ImpactGeorge delivered his first double-double of the season, but he also posted his worst scoring mark of the campaign, and the shooting woes are simply too glaring to ignore. Through four games, the second-year guard is shooting just 26.2 percent from the field and 22.6 percent from deep. That's not going to cut it, especially considering how much he has the ball in his hands. Fantasy managers should trust George to turn things around, but his lack of efficiency is limiting his upside.
