TALEN HORTON-TUCKER NEWS

Resurfaces in rotation Horton-Tucker finished Wednesday's 143-118 loss to the Timberwolves with 15 points (6-12 FG, 3-3 FT), six assists, one rebound and one block in 24 minutes.

Impact After failing to leave the bench in each of the previous four games in coach's decision, Horton-Tucker reclaimed a spot in the rotation with Utah shipping out all of Mike Conley, Jarred Vanderbilt and Malik Beasley ahead of Wednesday's contest in a three-team deal involving the Lakers and Timberwolves. The Jazz received three players back in the deal, but Russell Westbrook appears likely to be bought out by Utah, while Juan Toscano-Anderson and Damian Jones look to be fringe rotation options, at best. As a result, Horton-Tucker looks as though he could have a pathway to a regular role on the second unit, barring any major chances to the Utah roster ahead of Thursday's trade deadline.

Pops for season-high 20 points Horton-Tucker notched 20 points (5-10 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 8-10 FT), six rebounds, two assists and two blocks in 28 minutes during Saturday's 118-117 loss to the 76ers.

Impact Horton-Tucker made the most of a bad situation, scoring a season-high 20 points as the Jazz almost pulled one out of the fire against the 76ers. While this was certainly an encouraging performance, the fact he has played more than 20 minutes on only five occasions this season needs to be accounted for when considering him in fantasy.

Good to go Friday Horton-Tucker (ankle) is available for Friday's game versus the Magic, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

Impact Horton-Tucker has been upgraded from questionable to available Friday after missing the previous two games with a right ankle sprain. The 22-year-old forward is averaging 4.4 points and 2.0 assists in 11.4 minutes across his last five appearances.

Iffy versus Orlando Horton-Tucker (ankle) is questionable for Friday's game against the Jazz.

Impact Horton-Tucker may miss his third straight game due to a right ankle sprain. If he's unable to suit up against Orlando, his next chance to play is Saturday's matchup with Philadelphia.

Out again Horton-Tucker (ankle) has been ruled out for Tuesday's matchup against Cleveland, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

Impact Horton-Tucker was a late scratch ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Grizzlies due to an ankle injury after posting 12 points and five assists during Saturday's loss to the Bulls. The severity of the issue remains unclear, but he'll remain out for at least one additional contest. Collin Sexton (hamstring) also remains out, so Nickeil Alexander-Walker, Malik Beasley and Ochai Agbaji will be candidates for increased roles behind Mike Conley and Jordan Clarkson for a second straight game.

Out with ankle injury Horton-Tucker has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Grizzlies due to a right ankle sprain.

Impact Horton-Tucker was a late scratch Sunday after posting 12 points and five assists during Saturday's loss to the Bulls. Collin Sexton (hamstring) is also out, so Nickeil Alexander-Walker, Malik Beasley and Ochai Agbaji are candidates for increased roles behind Mike Conley and Jordan Clarkson.

Gets 20 minutes Saturday Horton-Tucker totaled 12 points (4-6 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-3 FT), five assists, one rebound and one steal over 20 minutes during Saturday's 126-118 loss to the Bulls.

Impact After a recent stretch of five straight games in which he was outside of the rotation, Horton-Tucker has re-entered the Jazz's backcourt mix the past two games in place of Nickeil Alexander-Walker, who hasn't left the bench in coach's decisions. Horton-Tucker looks as though he'll hold down a reserve role on the wing until the Jazz get Collin Sexton (hamstring) back from injury.

Only three minutes Tuesday Horton-Tucker closed with one assist over three minutes during Tuesday's 126-111 victory over the Pistons.

Impact Horton-Tucker continues to be one of the more disappointing players thus far this season, logging a season-low three minutes Tuesday. Despite coming into what many saw as a favorable situation, his role has actually reduced when compared to previous years. Currently outside the top 300 in standard formats, even those in deeper leagues would be better off targeting a player with more intrigue given Horton-Tucker's current role.

Returns to bench Horton-Tucker isn't in the starting five for Tuesday's matchup with New Orleans, Eric Walden of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

Impact Horton-Tucker will be replaced by Lauri Markkanen in the starting lineup Tuesday after the 22-year-old forward started Saturday. Horton-Tucker posted a season-high 19 points against the Nuggets in his last outing.

Turns things around Saturday Horton-Tucker produced 19 points (8-18 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 2-3 FT), seven rebounds, four assists and two blocks across 34 minutes during Saturday's 115-110 loss to the Nuggets.

Impact Horton-Tucker bucked the recent trend, delivering a well-rounded performance in the loss. Prior to Saturday, he had scored a grand total of 11 points across his last four games, including a zero-point performance only 24 hours prior. The Jazz were without the bulk of their backcourt, affording Horton-Tucker a nice opportunity. However, this is unlikely to stick, meaning there is no real reason to prioritize him outside of very deep formats.

DECEMBER 11, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Moves to starting lineup Horton-Tucker is in the starting five for Saturday's game against the Nuggets, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

Impact Horton-Tucker will move into the starting lineup with Jordan Clarkson (hip) out. Saturday will mark his first start of the season.

Fails to score in loss Horton-Tucker posted zero points (0-5 FG, 0-4 3Pt), three rebounds and one steal in Friday's 129-118 loss to the Warriors.

Impact Horton-Tucker is shooting an abysmal 25.4 percent from three this season and 39.3 percent from the field. Unless the 22-year-old forward starts seeing well over his average of 16.9 minutes per game, fantasy managers should look to avoid relying on him in all formats.

Records first double-double Horton-Tucker closed with 12 points (3-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 5-6 FT), three rebounds, 10 assists and one block in 17 minutes during Saturday's 121-112 loss to the Wizards.

Impact Horton-Tucker knocked down 2-of-3 shots for five points and dished out four assists in just seven minutes of action in the first half. He remained solid on limited minutes in the second half, collecting seven points on 1-of-4 shooting while also knocking down five of six free-throw attempts and handing out another four assists. The Jazz guard tied his teammate Mike Conley with a game-high 10 assists on the night, while also recording his first double-double of the season.

Solid against former squad Horton-Tucker recorded 15 points (6-11 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-3 FT), three rebounds, three assists and three steals across 20 minutes Monday in a 139-116 defeat of the Lakers.

Impact Horton-Tucker was one of seven Utah players to register double-digit points, and he finished with his highest scoring output of the campaign. The former Laker was also a pest on defense, notching a campaign-high three thefts. Horton-Tucker has logged 20-plus minutes only four times this season, but he's been moderately productive in those contests, averaging 12.0 points, 4.8 boards, 2.8 dimes and 1.5 steals.

Struggles in win Saturday Horton-Tucker posted one point (0-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT) and one rebound in 10 minutes during Saturday's 124-123 win over the Grizzlies.

Impact Horton-Tucker saw just 10 minutes off the bench, failing to produce anything close to fantasy value. Outside of a couple of encouraging performances, it's been a rocky start for Horton-Tucker. At this stage, the best case is to view him as a potential streaming candidate if and when he strings together some strong outings.

Provides scoring off bench Horton-Tucker closed Wednesday's 109-101 victory over the Rockets with 14 points (5-11 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 2-3 FT), seven rebounds, four assists and two steals across 28 minutes.

Impact Horton-Tucker managed to make an impact across the board in this one, setting new season-highs in points, rebounds and assists. Though the 2022-23 campaign is just getting started, he's shown early on that he can contribute for fantasy managers in a number of ways, even if he doesn't consistently score in double figures.
