TALEN HORTON-TUCKER NEWS

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.

Logs 21 minutes in win Horton-Tucker posted 10 points (3-9 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six rebounds and four assists over 21 minutes during Monday's 128-120 victory over the Kings.

Impact Horton-Tucket got the start but didn't make a significant impact, struggling from the field and barely reaching double-digit scoring figures as Kris Dunn outplayed him with a double-double off the bench. Horton-Tucker has been playing well since being promoted to the starting unit, though, averaging 15.7 points, 5.2 rebounds and 5.5 assists per game over his last 11 appearances.

Flirts with triple-double Horton-Tucker finished Saturday's 119-111 victory over the Hornets with 37 points (14-24 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 7-8 FT), 10 assists and eight rebounds in 32 minutes.

Impact With Jordan Clarkson (finger) sitting out a third straight game and Collin Sexton (hamstring) still sidelined indefinitely, Horton-Tucker has stepped in as the primary playmaker out of the Utah backcourt. He delivered the best all-around effort of his young career Saturday, falling just three points shy of a personal best in scoring and narrowly missing out on a triple-double. With averages of 27.0 points, 7.3 assists, 5.0 rebounds, 1.7 three-pointers and 1.0 steals in 32.0 minutes per game over his last three outings, Horton-Tucker needs to be rostered in the majority of leagues, at least until one of Clarkson or Sexton is back in the mix. However, with Utah playing just two games during the upcoming week, Horton-Tucker may not make for a strong option in leagues that set their lineups just once.

Ties season high with 23 points Horton-Tucker racked up 23 points (10-18 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT), one rebound, eight assists and one steal in 30 minutes during Thursday's 131-124 victory over the Magic.

Impact Horton-Tucker scored at least 20 points for a second straight game and tied his season high with 23. He also dished out his most assists since Feb. 10 and notched his fourth game of the campaign with at least eight dimes. With Jordan Clarkson (finger) and Collin Sexton (hamstring) both out, the 2019 second-round pick has drawn seven straight starts and is averaging 14.0 points, 4.7 assists, 4.3 rebounds, 1.1 blocks and 0.9 steals in 28.3 minutes during that stretch.

Reaches 20-point threshold Horton-Tucker amassed 21 points (7-14 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 6-7 FT), six rebounds, four assists, one block and two steals in 34 minutes during Tuesday's 120-116 loss to the Mavericks.

Impact Horton-Tucker scored 20-plus points for the first time since Feb. 11, and he did so by shooting 50.0 percent from the field. He also was busy at the charity stripe, where he knocked down six of seven tries. Horton-Tucker has now started six straight games and is averaging 12.5 points, 4.8 rebounds, 4.2 assists and 1.3 blocks over this stretch.

Strong run continues Tuesday Horton-Tucker amassed 16 points (7-14 FG, 2-3 3Pt), three rebounds, three assists, three blocks and one steal across 30 minutes during Tuesday's 102-94 loss to the Spurs.

Impact Horton-Tucker continues to serve as the primary ball-handler for the Jazz, affording him plenty of run on a nightly basis. Often seen as a potential 12-team asset, this is the first time Horton-Tucker has been able to string together more than two or three games of value. Collin Sexton (hamstring) is going to miss at least another week of action, meaning Horton-Tucker should be added everywhere for now.

Starting Thursday Horton-Tucker will join the first five for Thursday's game against the Thunder, Joe Mussatto of The Oklahoman reports.

Impact Horton-Tucker received 32 minutes his last time out after Collin Sexton (hamstring) left the contest in the first quarter, and he will take Sexton's starting spot Thursday. In his last five appearances, Horton-Tucker has averaged 13.8 points, 7.0 assists and 1.2 blocks across 25.8 minutes. He should see as many minutes as he can handle against the Thunder.

Delivers with increased role Horton-Tucker posted 15 points (5-15 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 3-5 FT), seven rebounds, seven assists and two blocks over 32 minutes during Wednesday's 117-111 loss to the Grizzlies.

Impact When Collin Sexton (hamstring) left in the first quarter, Horton-Tucker's role saw an immediate boost. He produced a solid all-around game, which even included a couple of blocks. The 22-year-old is averaging exactly seven assists over the last five games. If Sexton were to miss time after the All-Star Break, Horton-Tucker could have some relevance with an expanded role.

Provides 23 points in loss Horton-Tucker produced 23 points (8-12 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 6-8 FT), seven assists, two rebounds, one block and one steal over 27 minutes during Saturday's 126-120 loss to the Knicks.

Impact Horton-Tucker has been one of the early winners in the aftermath of the trade deadline, as he's settled into a 20-plus-minute role over the past three games with the Jazz having parted ways with three rotation players (Mike Conley, Jarred Vanderbilt and Malik Beasley). The Jazz could eventually add deadline pickup Russell Westbrook to the mix if the veteran point guard doesn't opt to pursue a buyout, and while the arrival of Westbrook would likely cap his minutes upside, Horton-Tucker should at least maintain a spot as a second-unit wing alongside Ochai Agbaji. Over his last three games, Horton-Tucker is averaging 15.7 points, 7.0 assists, 3.3 rebounds and 1.3 blocks, numbers that make him worth keeping an eye on in 12-team category leagues if not immediately adding.

Flirts with triple-double Horton-Tucker amassed nine points (3-11 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 3-5 FT), seven rebounds, eight assists and two blocks over 27 minutes during Friday's 122-116 victory over the Raptors.

Impact It was Ochai Agbaji who got the start in place of Jordan Clarkson (illness), but Horton-Tucker made a bigger impact in this one. Horton-Tucker usually offers a good amount of upside in counting stats when the minutes are there, but his shooting percentages and turnovers hold him back in category leagues.
