GAME LOG

Rudy Gay - Solid off bench in loss Gay recorded 16 points (6-8 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and six rebounds over 19 minutes in a preseason loss to the Mavericks on Friday.
Impact Gay finished second on the team in scoring in the contest despite playing less than 20 minutes. This was the first time in three exhibition games that he finished with double-digit points. The veteran isn't a great fit on the rebuilding Jazz, so he shouldn't be expected to put up fantasy-relevant numbers while he's on the team. There's a decent chance that he gets moved elsewhere during the campaign.

Lauri Markkanen - Posts another double-double Markkanen tallied 21 points (9-13 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 10 rebounds and two assists over 29 minutes in Friday's preseason loss to Dallas.
Impact Markkanen led the Jazz in both scoring and rebounds and finished with an efficient shooting mark from the field. He logged back-to-back double-doubles to finish the preseason slate and averaged 16.5 points and 6.8 boards across four games overall. With Utah in rebuild mode, Markkanen could see plenty of opportunity this season, making him an intriguing sleeper option in fantasy.
OCTOBER 15, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Collin Sexton - Back to bench Sexton will operate off the bench during Friday's preseason finale against the Mavericks, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
Impact Sexton made his first start with the Jazz during Tuesday's exhibition, but he'll return to the bench for Friday's preseason finale as Jordan Clarkson gets the start at shooting guard. Clarkson normally operates off the bench, but with Donovan Mitchell now in Cleveland, it's possible Clarkson enters the starting lineup to begin the 2022-23 campaign.
OCTOBER 15, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Mike Conley - Will start versus the Mavericks Conley is in the starting lineup for Friday's preseason finale versus the Mavericks, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
Impact Conley missed Tuesday's preseason game versus the Spurs due to rest. However, the veteran point guard is not expected to miss any more time ahead of next Wednesday's regular-season opener against the Nuggets. Conley is poised to be Utah's starting point guard this season.

Dallas Mavs vs. Utah Jazz Preseason: 3 Things to Watch The Dallas Mavericks will take on the Utah Jazz in their preseason finale on Friday. What are some key things to watch?
OCTOBER 14, 2022 • STAR-TELEGRAM.COM
Simone Fontecchio - Ruled out Friday Fontecchio won't play in Friday's preseason finale against Dallas due to a left quadriceps contusion, Eric Walden of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
Impact Over three preseason appearances, Fontecchio averaged 4.3 points and 1.3 rebounds in 10.1 minutes per game. It's not yet clear whether his quad issue will impact his availability to begin the regular season.
OCTOBER 14, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Udoka Azubuike - To remain out Friday Azubuike (ankle) won't play in Friday's preseason finale against the Mavericks, Eric Walden of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
Impact Despite being a full participant in Thursday's practice, Azubuike will remain sidelined for Utah's preseason finale as he continues to work his way back from an ankle injury. It's unclear how Azubuike will fit into the rotation once he's fully healthy, but given the progress he's made in practice, there's a decent chance he'll be available for next week's regular-season opener against the Nuggets.
OCTOBER 14, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Malik Beasley - Out Friday Beasley (ankle) won't play in the Jazz's preseason finale Friday against the Mavericks, Eric Walden of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
Impact Beasley suffered a left ankle sprain in a preseason game versus the Trail Blazers earlier in October. The guard hasn't been able to fully practice or play since the injury. Expect Talen Horton-Tucker and Ochai Agbaji to see larger workloads Friday against the Mavericks.
OCTOBER 14, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Udoka Azubuike - Minimal minutes expected Friday Azubuike (ankle) indicated after Thursday's practice that he doesn't anticipate playing much, if at all, in Friday'spreseason finale versus the Mavericks, Andy Larsen of The Salt L...
Impact Azubuike has been sidelined since last season with an ankle issue, but he was a full participant in Thursday's practice. While that does bode well for his availability to open the season, he still needs to get his legs back under him. Azubuike figures to provide frontcourt depth once he's fully healthy.
OCTOBER 13, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Udoka Azubuike - Fully participates in practice Azubuike (ankle) fully participated in Thursday's practice session, Sarah Todd of The Deseret News reports.
Impact Azubuike hasn't yet taken the court during the preseason, and it's not yet clear whether he'll be available for Friday's exhibition matchup against the Mavericks. However, his participation in Thursday's practice session bodes well for his availability ahead of Wednesday's regular-season opener against the Nuggets.
OCTOBER 13, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Malik Beasley - Doesn't practice Thursday Beasley (ankle) didn't participate in Thursday's practice session, Sarah Todd of The Deseret News reports.
Impact Beasley has been dealing with a left ankle sprain for a week and a half, and his absence from practice Thursday isn't encouraging for his status ahead of Friday's preseason finale against Dallas. It's not yet clear whether his injury will impact his availability for Wednesday's regular-season opener against the Nuggets.

Jazz rookie Walker Kessler is learning by asking questions: 'Everyone is here to help' Kessler is seeking advice from everyone -- coach Will Hardy, Jordan Clarkson, Rudy Gay -- on how to become a better NBA player.
OCTOBER 12, 2022 • THEATHLETIC.COM
Jarred Vanderbilt - Logs 21 minutes in starting role Vanderbilt totaled six points (3-8 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 0-4 FT), eight rebounds and three steals in 21 minutes during Tuesday's loss to the Spurs.
Impact Vanderbilt demonstrated the full range of his fantasy game Tuesday, both good and bad. Projecting forward, he should be a solid source of boards and steals but is likely to hurt you in multiple other areas, such as free throw efficiency and scoring. Fantasy managers know what they are getting when drafting him, meaning he should only be taken when suited to a certain build.
OCTOBER 12, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Lauri Markkanen - Logs double-double in loss Markkanen closed with 18 points (6-13 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 10 rebounds and one assist in 26 minutes during Tuesday's preseason loss to San Antonio.
Impact Markkanen did exactly what was expected, flirting with a double-double and adding a pair of triples, while offering very little else. Despite a somewhat empty fantasy stat set, Markkanen is in a perfect spot to thrive, so managers are going to have to start reaching into the middle rounds of some leagues to secure his services.
OCTOBER 12, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Walker Kessler - Blocks four shots Tuesday Kessler has 12 points (5-6 FG, 2-4 FT), seven rebounds, four blocks and one assist in 25 minutes during Tuesday's loss to the Spurs.
Impact Kessler was fantastic in the loss, flashing his tremendous defensive upside. While he is slated to come off the bench behind Kelly Olynyk, there is certainly a chance his role expands as the season progresses. At this stage, he is nothing more than a late-round flier; however, his game translates very well when it comes to fantasy production, making him a name to monitor moving forward.

Collin Sexton - Set to make first start with Jazz Sexton will start in Tuesday's preseason game versus the Spurs, Sarah Todd of The Deseret News reports.
Impact Sexton will make his first start with the Jazz on Tuesday after being traded from the Cavaliers. The fifth-year guard signed a four-year, $72 million contract with Utah, so he should be a key part of the team this season. With the departures of Donovan Mitchell and Rudy Gobert, Sexton could be in line for a big season statistically.

Mike Conley - Resting Tuesday Conley will rest Tuesday and won't suit up for the preseason tilt versus the Spurs, Eric Walden of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
Impact Conley is just taking a breather for this one and has one more chance to get in a tune-up contest Friday versus the Mavericks before the regular season opens Oct. 19 against the Nuggets.

Udoka Azubuike - Remains out Tuesday Azubuike (ankle) won't play in Tuesday's preseason game against San Antonio, Sarah Todd of The Deseret News reports.
Impact Azubuike has yet to make his preseason debut, and he'll have only one more opportunity to do so before the regular season begins. He remains without a firm return timetable and has yet to receive clearance for 5-on-5 work.

Impact Azubuike will miss a third straight preseason contest as he continues to work his way back from ankle surgery. It's also unclear if he'll be able to play in the team's final preseason contest against Dallas on Friday.
