Malik Beasley - Dazzles from deep once again Beasley finished with 18 points (6-12 FG, 6-10 3Pt) and three rebounds in 28 minutes during Saturday's 123-97 loss to the Bucks.
Impact Beasley was one of Utah's best players despite coming off the bench, and he was particularly dangerous from deep as the six made three-pointers represents a season high. He's made at least four treys in each of his last six games and is hitting 43.8 percent from beyond the arc (28-for-64) in that span. He's also scored more than 15 points in six games in a row.

Lauri Markkanen - Decent despite one-sided loss Markkanen amassed 18 points (7-13 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds and two assists over 28 minutes during Saturday's 123-97 loss to Milwaukee.
Impact Markkanen was one of the top scorers for the Jazz on Saturday, but the team overall struggled on both ends of the court. Even though Markkanen failed to reach the 20-point mark, it's worth noting that he's now cleared the 15-point hurdle in each of his last nine appearances.
DECEMBER 18, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Jordan Clarkson - Puts up 13 points in loss Clarkson notched 13 points (5-10 FG, 3-7 3Pt), one rebound, three assists and one steal in 26 minutes during Saturday's 123-97 loss to the Bucks.
Impact This was a game where the entire Jazz team looked overmatched and out of sync, and while Clarkson's numbers weren't in line with what he's produced all season long, he still ended up as one of the team's most productive players. Despite the subpar outing here, Clarkson has still scored at least 20 points in four of his last six appearances.

Kelly Olynyk - Will attempt to return Olynyk will attempt to return to Saturday's game against the Bucks after suffering a sprained left ankle, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
Impact Olynyk headed to the locker room earlier in the game but will try to re-enter the game after injuring his ankle. It is certainly an encouraging sign for fantasy managers, however, if he for some reason re-injures his ankle expect Walker Kessler or Rudy Gay to close out the contest in his place.

Kelly Olynyk - Heads to bench Saturday Olynyk headed to the locker room during the second half of Saturday's game against the Bucks due to an apparent left ankle injury, Sarah Todd of The Deseret News reports.
Impact Olynyk appeared to be limping for a few possessions before eventually checking out of the game, and the fact that he went straight into the locker room can't be a promising sign. If he's forced to miss the rest of the game, then the likes of Walker Kessler and Rudy Gay would be in line for more minutes.

Simone Fontecchio - Available Saturday Fontecchio (ankle) has been cleared for Saturday's game against the Bucks.
Impact Fontecchio will return from a four-game absence. Look for him to resume his usual role providing depth at forward assuming he avoids any setbacks with his ankle.

Collin Sexton - Out Saturday Sexton (hamstring) is out Saturday at Milwaukee, Sarah Todd of The Deseret News reports.
Impact Sexton is now considered day-to-day but needs more time to recover from a strained right hamstring. His next chance to play arrives Monday against the Cavaliers, and while he's out, Nickeil Alexander-Walker should continue seeing an increased role.
DECEMBER 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Simone Fontecchio - Upgraded to questionable Fontecchio (ankle) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Bucks, Eric Walden of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
Impact Fontecchio has missed four consecutive contests due to a left ankle sprain but has a chance to play Saturday. In the four games leading up to his injury, Fontecchio averaged 8.3 points in 16.0 minutes per game, so his return could spell fewer minutes for Talen Horton-Tucker and Malik Beasley.

Mike Conley - Can't find shot Thursday Conley amassed four points (1-8 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 2-6 FT), two rebounds and six assists across 32 minutes during Thursday's 132-129 overtime win over the Pelicans.
Impact Conley didn't shoot efficiently in either of the two games versus the Raptors, finishing with a combined 11 points between the contests while converting just three of his 16 attempts. He managed to rack up six assists in each contest, but Conley needs to pick it up in other areas to be a worthwhile fantasy option. Conley is just a few games removed from a lengthy absence due to a leg injury, so he could still be shedding some rust.
DECEMBER 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Walker Kessler - Outplays Vanderbilt on Thursday Kessler finished with 11 points (4-4 FG, 3-4 FT), eight rebounds, three blocks, one assist and one steal in 28 minutes in Thursday's 132-129 overtime win over the Pelicans.
Impact Though he came off the bench for the third game in a row with Jarred Vanderbilt, having reclaimed a starting gig in the frontcourt, Kessler has remained highly productive. The rookie center has swatted exactly three shots in each of those three contests, and he's also averaging 10.7 points and 10.7 rebounds while shooting 65 percent from the field over that stretch. Kessler notably saw seven more minutes than Vanderbilt on Thursday, so the move to the bench shouldn't be taken as evidence that Kessler will be moving into a smaller role.
DECEMBER 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Malik Beasley - Drains four treys Beasley finished with 17 points (6-15 FG, 4-11 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one block across 26 minutes in Thursday's 132-129 overtime win over the Pelicans.
Impact Beasley has come off the bench for the past two games in the wake of Lauri Markkanen returning to the lineup, but the shift to the second unit hasn't hampered Beasley too much from a playing-time perspective. Of course, his minutes could become murkier when Collin Sexton (hamstring) rejoins the mix. Still, at the very least, Beasley should make for an excellent streaming option for three-pointers, particularly on nights like Thursday with a low volume of games. Beasley has drilled either four or five treys in each of his last five outings.
DECEMBER 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Lauri Markkanen - Efficient scoring leads to victory Markkanen finished with 31 points (8-15 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 10-10 FT), five rebounds and three assists in 42 minutes during Thursday's 132-129 overtime victory over the Pelicans.
Impact Markkanen continued his impressive scoring season Thursday. Not only was he perfect from the free-throw line, but he played a team-high in minutes. Markkanen is now shooting 52.7 percent from the field and 41.5 percent from three in 2022-23.
