Utah Jazz vs Cleveland Cavaliers - Full Game Highlights | December 19, 2022 | 2022-23 NBA Season

Walker Kessler - Draws spot start Monday Kessler will start Monday's contest against the Cavaliers, Spencer Davies of BasketballNews.com reports.
Impact Kelly Olynyk (ankle) is out, paving the way for Kessler to draw his third career start. In his previous two starts, the rookie center has averaged 8.0 points, 9.5 rebounds and 2.5 blocks in 22.5 minutes per game. Kessler figures to see a similar role Monday, though he faces a tough matchup against Cleveland's formidable frontcourt.

DECEMBER 19, 2022 • CLEVELAND.COM
Kelly Olynyk - Downgraded to out Olynyk (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's matchup against the Cavaliers.
Impact Olynyk was initially listed as questionable due to a left ankle sprain he suffered during Saturday's loss to Milwaukee, but he's since been downgraded to out and will miss his first game of the year. In his absence, Walker Kessler will likely slide into the starting lineup, while Udoka Azubuike, Rudy Gay and Simone Fontecchio may see increased roles off the bench.
DECEMBER 19, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Collin Sexton - Remains out Monday Sexton (hamstring) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Cavaliers, Eric Walden of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
Impact Sexton won't be able to face his former team since he's yet to recover from a nagging hamstring problem suffered earlier this month. He is in line to miss his sixth game in a row, and that should translate into an increased role for Nickeil Alexander-Walker. His next chance to feature will come Tuesday at the Pistons.
DECEMBER 18, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Kelly Olynyk - Questionable to play Monday Olynyk has been listed as questionable for Monday's game due to a left ankle sprain, Eric Walden of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
Impact Olynyk managed to end Saturday's game against the Bucks but looked in pain, so the questionable tag is not a surprise by any means. The potential absence of the veteran forward would open minutes for the likes of Rudy Gay and Walker Kessler, though neither is likely to matchup Olynyk's versatile contributions.
DECEMBER 18, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Simone Fontecchio - Plays minor role in return Fontecchio (ankle) finished with two points (1-4 FG, 0-3 3Pt), three rebounds and one assist in 15 minutes in Saturday's 123-97 loss to the Bucks.
Impact Fontecchio recaptured a spot in head coach Will Hardy's rotation after missing the previous four games with a left ankle sprain. Before picking up the injury, Fontecchio had averaged 17.7 minutes per game over his first three appearances of December, but he could get squeezed out of a bit of playing time if Collin Sexton (hamstring) returns to the second unit at some point during the Jazz's upcoming three-game week.
DECEMBER 18, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Kelly Olynyk - Plays 27 minutes, despite injury Olynyk (ankle) finished Saturday's 123-97 loss to the Bucks with 12 points (4-11 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, two steals and one rebound across 27 minutes.
Impact Though Olynyk was able to check back into the contest after exiting on account of a left ankle injury, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune notes that the big man's ankle appeared to be swollen following the contest. As a result, Olynyk could carry an injury designation into Monday's game at Cleveland, but his ability to return to Saturday's contest is a promising sign that he won't have to miss any time.

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.
DECEMBER 18, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
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.
DECEMBER 18, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
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.
