Rudy Gay - Dud game in return Gay provided zero points (0-4 FG, 0-2 3Pt), one rebound and one assist across 10 minutes during Monday's 126-125 victory over the Timberwolves.

Impact Gay saw the floor for 10 minutes after sitting during Utah's last game due to back spasms but didn't score a single point, going 0-for-4 from the field. He is still part of the rotation but doesn't get the minutes or usage to have much fantasy value this season.

Collin Sexton - Efficient shooting in return Sexton totaled 19 points (7-10 FG, 5-5 FT), four rebounds and four assists in 26 minutes during Monday's 126-125 win over the Timberwolves.

Impact Sexton played well off the bench after sitting the previous game for injury management. He led all bench players with 19 points on an efficient 70 percent shooting. While not known for his secondary stats, he did add four boards and four assists in his 26 minutes. The young guard has been a decent scorer in a reserve role for much of the season and has shown no rust offensively in the two games since returning from a hamstring injury.

Walker Kessler - Monster night on boards Kessler supplied 20 points (9-13 FG, 2-4 FT), 21 rebounds, four assists and two blocks in 31 minutes during Monday's 126-125 win over the Timberwolves.

Impact Kessler's 21 rebounds set a new career high, and his 20 points matched a career high as well. The rookie center has been on a tear this month, and with Kelly Olynyk (ankle) still out, he has really stepped up with the increase in minutes. Even when Olynyk is healthy, Kessler's opportunity is significant enough that he shouldn't be on any fantasy waiver wires at this point.

Jordan Clarkson - Leads team with 21 points Clarkson closed Monday's 126-125 victory over Minnesota with 21 points (6-16 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 5-6 FT), one rebound, one assist and one block in 33 minutes.

Impact Clarkson had his lowest shot output in four games but still led the Jazz in scoring Monday. His largest contribution was four made triples, and he recorded just one board and one assist. He did add a block, his first in over a month, but that's it defensively. The veteran guard is averaging 24.0 points, 4.9 rebounds and 3.6 assists in the month of January.

JAZZ at TIMBERWOLVES | FULL GAME HIGHLIGHTS | January 16, 2023

JANUARY 16, 2023 • YOUTUBE

Rudy Gay - Will play Monday Gay (back) will be available for Monday's game against the Timberwolves.

Impact The veteran forward has been battling back spasms of late, but he'll be available as the Jazz tip off a three-game week. Gay typically sees 12-to-18 minutes off the bench, though he could see a slight uptick in playing time Monday with Lauri Markkanen (hip) and Kelly Olynyk (ankle) both sidelined.

JANUARY 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Lauri Markkanen - Ruled out Monday Markkanen (hip) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Timberwolves, Tony Jones of The Athletic reports.

Impact Markkanen was considered a game-time decision for Monday's game as he continues to deal with a hip injury, and he'll be unavailable for a second consecutive matchup. Jarred Vanderbilt, Rudy Gay and Talen Horton-Tucker are candidates to see increased run against Minnesota.

JANUARY 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Collin Sexton - Not on injury report Sexton (hamstring) isn't on the injury report for Monday's game against Minnesota, Tony Jones of The Athletic reports.

Impact Sexton sat out the second half of a back-to-back set Saturday against the 76ers due to right hamstring injury maintenance, but he'll return to action against the Timberwolves. During his return from a five-game absence Friday against Orlando, he logged 18 points, three rebounds and three assists in 24 minutes.

JANUARY 15, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Rudy Gay - Questionable Monday Gay (back) is questionable for Monday's game against the Timberwolves, Tony Jones of The Athletic reports.

Impact Gay was unavailable Saturday against the 76ers due to lower back spasms, but he'll have a chance to return to action against Minnesota. Over his last five appearances, he's averaged 5.0 points and 3.4 rebounds in 13.2 minutes per game.

JANUARY 15, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Lauri Markkanen - Listed as questionable Markkanen (hip) is questionable for Monday's matchup against Minnesota, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

Impact Markkanen was sidelined for Saturday's loss to Philadelphia due to a hip injury and may miss a second straight game due to the issue. If he's sidelined again, Talen Horton-Tucker, Jarred Vanderbilt and Ochai Agbaji would be candidates for increased roles.

JANUARY 15, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Walker Kessler - Comes through with double-double Kessler finished with 15 points (7-7 FG, 1-1 FT), 12 rebounds, two blocks and one steal in 32 minutes in Saturday's 118-117 loss to the 76ers.

Impact Kessler took a step back in the blocks column after swatting 14 shots across his previous three games, but he still made an impact in the category while coming away with a double-double on flawless shooting from the field and free-throw line. While Kelly Olynyk (ankle) is out of the lineup, Kessler should be locked into a starting role and warrants a roster spot in just about every fantasy format.

Talen Horton-Tucker - 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.

JANUARY 15, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Jordan Clarkson - Blows up for 38 points Saturday Clarkson had 38 points (16-29 FG, 3-12 3Pt, 3-3 FT), nine rebounds and five assists over 36 minutes during Saturday's 118-117 loss to the 76ers.

Impact With Lauri Markkanen (hip) ruled out, Clarkson took it upon himself to carry the Jazz, helping the team almost pull off an improbable victory. As usual, he added nothing on the defensive end, relying on his scoring to carry his overall fantasy value. If Markkanen is forced to miss additional time, Clarkson could be a sell-high candidate.

JANUARY 15, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Jarred Vanderbilt - Returns to starting lineup Saturday Vanderbilt ended with eight points (4-9 FG, 0-1 3Pt), nine rebounds, one assist and one block across 25 minutes during Saturday's 118-117 loss to the 76ers.

Impact Vanderbilt shifted back into the starting lineup Saturday after Lauri Markkanen was ruled out with a hip injury. While he did flirt with a double-double, he added very little in terms of defensive numbers. With Kelly Olynyk (ankle) slated to miss at least the next week, Vanderbilt's role is likely to fluctuate. He remains a viable asset in all 12-team leagues, although his limited skill set means he is certainly not an option for everyone.
