Impact Horton-Tucker is officially listed as questionable for Saturday's game due to a non-COVID illness. However, his absence from shootaround is a bad sign of his availability against Sacramento.

Absent from shootaround Horton-Tucker (illness) didn't participate in shootaround ahead of Saturday's game versus Sacramento, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
Added to injury report Horton-Tucker is questionable for Saturday's game against the Kings with a non-COVID illness, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
Impact Horton-Tucker pops up as the fourth Jazz player on the injury report with an illness, joining John Collins, Luka Samanic and Omer Yurtseven -- each of whom has been ruled out. Considering Utah's lengthy injury report, Horton-Tucker will be primed for a hefty workload if available. However, if he sits, expect Kris Dunn, Ochai Agbaji and Simone Fontecchio to handle more minutes.

Pops for 23 against Portland Horton-Tucker produced 23 points (9-19 FG, 0-6 3Pt, 5-6 FT), two rebounds, four assists and four steals in 30 minutes during Thursday's 122-114 win over the Trail Blazers.
Impact The 23-year-old guard scored in double digits for the sixth straight game to begin December while producing his best offensive performance since he poured in 25 points against the Suns on Nov. 19. Horton-Tucker is averaging 14.8 points, 3.2 assists, 2.0 boards, 1.5 threes and 1.3 steals on the month while shooting 50.0 percent from the floor, and he should continue to see elevated usage as long as Jordan Clarkson (thigh) and Keyonte George (foot) remain sidelined.

Draws start against Portland Horton-Tucker will start Thursday's game against the Trail Blazers, Jazz's radio announcer David Locke reports.
Impact Keyonte George is out with a foot injury, and he'll miss at least one more game Saturday against the Kings. Horton-Tucker has a nice opportunity in the short term to see plenty of usage as one of Utah's primary ball-handlers.

Logs 14 points in OT victory Horton-Tucker recorded 14 points (5-8 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds, four assists and three steals in 21 minutes during Saturday's 118-113 overtime victory over Portland.
Impact Subpar play caused Horton-Tucker to lose his starting gig in early November, and his struggles continued from the bench. HIs 14 points in the OT win snapped a single-digit scoring slump where he averaged only 5.5 points over six games. His good fortune is likely brief, as his production will fall upon Jordan Clarkson's (thigh) return.

Limited results off bench Horton-Tucker had five points (1-4 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT) and one assist in 14 minutes during Wednesday's 121-105 loss to the Trail Blazers.
Impact Horton-Tucker posted a fairly well-rounded stat line during Tuesday's blowout loss to the Lakers, but he was held in check a day later with one of his worst fantasy performances of the season. Over his seven appearances since taking on a bench role, he's averaged 9.7 points, 3.6 assists and 2.9 rebounds in 20.6 minutes per game.

Plays well in loss to Suns Horton-Tucker registered 25 points (9-18 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 3-3 FT), four rebounds, three assists and two steals across 29 minutes during Sunday's 140-137 double-overtime loss to the Su...
Impact Horton-Tucker needed a performance like this in the worst way, as his fantasy trajectory was heading down prior to Sunday. In his previous three games, Horton-Tucker was averaging a mere 8.6 points, 3.0 assists and 3.0 rebounds in 19.3 minutes per game. Keyonte George had an off game Sunday, but it still seems like the coaching staff is comfortable rolling with him as their starter going forward.

Scores nine in loss Horton-Tucker provided nine points (2-5 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three rebounds, four assists and one block in 19 minutes during Friday's 131-128 loss to the Suns.
Impact Horton-Tucker was on the bench for a fourth consecutive game Friday, but he managed to contribute in a few different areas in the narrow loss. He's unsurprisingly seen a slight reduction in playing time since taking on a bench role, averaging 8.0 points, 3.5 assists and 3.3 rebounds in 19.5 minutes per game.

Coming off bench Wednesday Horton-Tucker isn't starting Wednesday's game against Indiana, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
Impact Horton-Tucker started the first eight games of the season but has had inconsistent results, averaging 10.1 points, 5.6 assists and 3.1 rebounds in 24.5 minutes per game. He'll take on a bench role Wednesday while Keyonte George makes his first career start.

Struggles with shot Saturday Horton-Tucker produced 14 points (6-20 FG, 2-6 3Pt), four rebounds, five assists, one block and two steals in 24 minutes during Saturday's 123-95 loss to Minnesota.
Impact Horton-Tucker scored in double digits in back-to-back contests for the first time this season, but the shooting woes plagued him, and he almost disappeared from the game after the second quarter. Horton-Tucker has shown the ability to fill the stat sheet regularly, but the next step for him is to develop consistency on a game-to-game basis. That would go a long way toward boosting his fantasy upside.
NOVEMBER 5, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Remains wildly inconsistent Horton-Tucker ended Thursday's 115-113 loss to the Magic with 15 points (7-14 FG, 1-4 3Pt), three rebounds, eight assists, one block and three steals in 31 minutes.
Impact Horton-Tucker ended just two assists away from reaching his first double-double and tied his season-high mark in dimes. He also scored in double digits after delivering a subpar display in his previous outing against the Grizzlies, where he produced just nine points across 23 minutes on Nov. 1. Horton-Tucker has mixed double-digit and single-digit scoring performances, and while he has proven to be a player who can fill the stat sheet on a given night, he needs to be more consistent as a scoring weapon in order to maximize his fantasy upside.
NOVEMBER 3, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Bounce-back effort Horton-Tucker supplied 16 points (7-12 FG, 2-3 3Pt), three rebounds and eight assists over 29 minutes during Monday's 110-102 loss to the Nuggets.
Impact Horton-Tucker led Utah in assists while recording only one turnover. He also exceeded 10 points for the first time this season after entering Monday's contest shooting just 26.9 percent from the field. He seemingly has a comfortable edge over Collin Sexton for playing time.
OCTOBER 31, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Continues shooting slump Horton-Tucker provided four points (1-7 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-4 FT), one assist and one steal across 16 minutes during Saturday's 126-104 loss to Phoenix.
Impact Horton-Tucker has started the season averaging 7.3 points per game on 26.9 percent shooting. He also saw his workload drop down to 16 minutes against the Suns and played just three minutes in the second half due to foul trouble and a large deficit. Horton-Tucker will look to turn things around Monday against the defending champion Nuggets.
OCTOBER 29, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Solid numbers in Friday's win Horton-Tucker racked up 10 points (3-10 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, eight assists, one block and three steals in 27 minutes during Friday's 120-118 win over the Clippers.
Impact The 22-year-old guard led the Jazz in assists while also being very active on the defensive end, leaving scoring duties to Lauri Markkanen and the Utah frontcourt. Horton-Tucker isn't expected to provide a lot of offense, but his 4-for-9 shooting from three-point range to begin the season is encouraging, and he should easily top last season's career-high 3.8 assists per game if he maintains his current role as the team's starting point guard.
OCTOBER 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Scores team-high 26 points Horton-Tucker notched 26 points (10-19 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 4-5 FT), five rebounds, eight assists and two steals across 31 minutes in Thursday's 116-113 preseason loss to the Kings.
Impact Horton-Tucker has always been a player who can make a massive two-way impact and performances such as Thursday's one back that notion up. However, he has yet to deliver these numbers on a consistent basis during the regular season. He's slated to open the 2023-24 campaign as a starter in the backcourt alongside Jordan Clarkson, so he'll have another shot to see if he can reach his potential while holding an expanded role.
OCTOBER 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Scores 13 points with 13 shots Horton-Tucker notched 13 points (5-13 FG, 3-7 3Pt), six rebounds and an assist across 21 minutes in Sunday's 101-96 preseason win over the Clippers.
Impact Horton-Tucker was one of four players who scored in double digits for the Jazz but also looked active on the glass. He appeared in 65 games in 2022-23 while averaging 10.7 points, 3.8 assists and 3.2 rebounds in 20.2 minutes per contest, and he figures to have a bench role in 2023-24 once again.
OCTOBER 9, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Returning to Utah for 2023-24 Horton-Tucker opted into his $11 million player for 2023-24 on Tuesday, Brian Windhorst of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Horton-Tucker averaged 10.7 points, 3.8 assists and 3.2 rebounds in 20.2 minutes across 65 games in 2022-23. While he did struggle with efficiency, posting 41.9/28.6/75.0 shooting splits, he still figures to be a rotation piece for Utah in 2023-24. Despite going into his fifth NBA season, Horton-Tucker is still only 22 and fits the Jazz's youth movement.

Ruled out Horton-Tucker (ankle) will not play in Thursday's game against the Thunder, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
Impact Horton-Tucker was initially slated probable before receiving a mid-day downgrade to questionable and will ultimately be sidelined Thursday. With Collin Sexton (hamstring) and Jordan Clarkson (finger) out, the Utah backcourt will be left primarily to Kris Dunn, Ochai Agbaji and Johnny Juzang. Horton-Tucker's next chance to play will come Saturday against Denver.

Downgraded to questionable Horton-Tucker (ankle) has been downgraded to questionable for Thursday's matchup against Oklahoma City, Brandon Rahbar of DailyThunder.com reports.
Impact Horton-Tucker was initially listed as probable, so while he still has a chance to suit up, he's trending in the wrong direction ahead of Thursday's 9:00 p.m. ET tipoff. If he joins Collin Sexton (hamstring) and Jordan Clarkson (finger) on the sideline, Kris Dunn, Ochai Agbaji and Johnny Juzang would all be candidates for increased roles in Utah's backcourt.

Flirts with triple-double Horton-Tucker recorded 28 points (9-21 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 10-10 FT), eight rebounds and seven assists in 31 minutes during Friday's 122-114 loss to Boston.
Impact Horton-Tucker capitalized on the absences of Collin Sexton (hamstring), Jordan Clarkson (finger) and Lauri Markkanen (hand) once again Friday, following up his career-high 41-point outing with an all-around performance. He led the Jazz in points and assists in the game and should remain a valuable fantasy option for as long as Utah battles the injury bug.

Boston hosts Utah after Horton-Tucker's 41-point game
Utah plays the Boston Celtics after Talen Horton-Tucker scored 41 points in the Jazz's 128-117 victory over the San Antonio SpursMARCH 31, 2023 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Scores career high in win Horton-Tucker racked up 41 points (15-25 FG, 6-11 3Pt, 5-6 FT), four rebounds, five assists and one steal in 30 minutes during Wednesday's 128-117 victory over San Antonio.
Impact Horton-Tucker's 41 points were a new career high, as the 22-year-old guard put on an impressive offensive performance that included six made shots from deep. Keep in mind, the Jazz were shorthanded with multiple key players sitting out. He's been able to show occasional bouts of brilliance like this in his career when given the green light, although never this significant, but he has rarely been able to replicate it on a consistent basis.
