Talen Horton-Tucker - 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.

Collin Sexton - Goes for 24 points Sexton contributed 24 points (11-16 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 0-1 FT), five rebounds and five assists across 25 minutes in Thursday's 116-113 preseason loss to the Kings.
Impact Sexton got the start in the preseason finale since the Jazz rested several expected starters, and he made the most of the opportunity, leading the team in scoring with efficient shooting. Sexton is likely to open the season as the main backup guard due to his ability to play both positions, but he should have decent fantasy upside in that role if he's able to log around 25 minutes per game on a consistent basis.
OCTOBER 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Johnny Juzang - Still sidelined Juzang (quadriceps) didn't play in Thursday's 116-113 preseason loss to Utah.
Impact Juzang continues to deal with a quadriceps injury he suffered during Summer League action. Given he didn't play at all during the preseason, his status for the regular season seems murky, at best. Even when he's healthy, the second-year wing will presumably spend most of the 2023-24 campaign in the G League.

Ochai Agbaji - Draws start Thursday Agbaji is in the starting lineup for Thursday's preseason game against the Kings, David Locke of the Jazz's official website reports.
Impact Jordan Clarkson, Lauri Markkanen, John Collins and Kelly Olynyk are all being rested for Utah's final preseason game. Agbaji has been a little underwhelming in the preseason so far, so he's in need of a good performance Thursday.
OCTOBER 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Simone Fontecchio - Gets starting nod Thursday Fontecchio is in the starting lineup for Thursday's preseason matchup against the Kings, David Locke of the Jazz's official website reports.
Impact Despite having a solid year as a rookie, Fontecchio has struggled in the preseason. He will get a chance to play extended minutes Thursday, as the Jazz are resting Lauri Markkanen, John Collins and Kelly Olynyk. Fontecchio is averaging just 4.3 points while shooting 33 percent from deep across four preseason appearances.

Collin Sexton - Starting against Sacramento Sexton is in the starting lineup for Thursday's preseason matchup against the Kings, David Locke of the Jazz's official website reports.
Impact Sexton gets the nod in the backcourt alongside Talen Horton-Tucker in a game where Utah decided to rest Jordan Clarkson, Lauri Markkanen and other projected starters. Sexton hasn't been at his best in the preseason, averaging just 8.0 points per game across four outings.

Lauri Markkanen - Sitting out Thursday Markkanen won't play in Thursday's preseason game against the Kings due to rest purposes, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
Impact Markkanen will sit out Thursday alongside many of Utah's regulars. However, he should be good to go for the team's regular-season opener against Sacramento on Oct. 25.
OCTOBER 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Kelly Olynyk - Won't play Thursday Olynyk has been ruled out for Thursday's preseason game against the Kings due to rest purposes, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
Impact Olynyk appeared in each of Utah's first four exhibition matchups but will sit out Thursday's preseason finale. However, he should be available for Wednesday's regular-season opener against Sacramento.
OCTOBER 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Jordan Clarkson - Resting Thursday Clarkson won't play in Thursday's preseason finale against the Kings due to rest purposes, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
Impact Clarkson topped 10 points in two of his four exhibition appearances, but he'll have a chance to rest with just under a week remaining until the regular season. He should be back in action for Wednesday's regular-season opener against the Kings.
OCTOBER 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
John Collins - Sitting out preseason finale Collins won't play in Thursday's preseason game against the Kings due to rest purposes, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

Ochai Agbaji - Solid stat line in preseason win Agbaji tallied 12 points (4-8 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, three assists, one steal and two blocked shots over 16 minutes against New Zealand in a 114-94 exhibition victory...
Impact Agbaji was one of nine different Utah players who logged between 15 and 17 minutes in the contest, and he was among the most productive, finishing as one of three with a double-digit point total. The guard also swatted a pair of shots and contributed as a rebounder and distributor. Agbaji's scoring total was his highest through four preseason matchups. He's come off the bench in each of those games and will likely continue to do so when the regular season kicks off.
OCTOBER 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Jordan Clarkson - Tallies 12 points in preseason win Clarkson finished with 12 points (4-7 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds and three assists against New Zealand in an exhibition victory Monday.
Impact Clarkson tied for second on the Jazz in scoring in a balanced team effort during which only three players tallied double-digit points. The veteran was in the starting lineup again for the contest -- he's worked with the first unit each of the past two games after coming off the bench for the initial two contests of Utah's exhibition slate. It's uncertain if Clarkson will be a starter or reserve to begin the regular season, but either way he should be one of the team's top scorers after he averaged a career-best 20.6 points per contest over a career-high 32.6 minutes last year.
OCTOBER 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Lauri Markkanen - Paces team in exhibition victory Markkanen totaled 15 points (5-12 FG, 1-3 3pt, 4-5 FT), seven rebounds and a steal over 17 minutes in a preseason win over New Zealand on Monday.
Impact No player logged more than 17 minutes for Utah in the exhibition affair, so production was fairly balanced throughout the squad. Markkanen led the team in both scoring and rebounding while also finishing as the only Jazz player with double-digit shot attempts. The 26-year-old forward is averaging 16.8 points and 8.0 rebounds through four preseason games as he gears up for the regular season, during which he'll look to build upon last year's breakout campaign.
