John Collins - Won't play Wednesday Collins (illness) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Knicks, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
Impact Collins was questionable ahead of Wednesday's matchup and will officially be unavailable for a second consecutive game due to a non-COVID illness. Whether he'll be available for Thursday's game against the Trail Blazers remains to be seen, but Taylor Hendricks, Simone Fontecchio and Luka Samanic could see increased run Wednesday.

John Collins - Iffy against New York Collins (illness) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game versus the Knicks, Ben Anderson of KSL News Salt Lake City reports.
Impact Collins is in danger of missing his second straight game Wednesday due to a non-COVID illness. If he's ruled out against the Knicks, Taylor Hendricks, Simone Fontecchio and Luka Samanic are candidates to receive increased playing time.
DECEMBER 13, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Walker Kessler - Questionable for Wednesday Kessler (foot) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Knicks, Ben Anderson of KSL News Salt Lake City reports.
Impact Kessler missed Monday's game against the Thunder with foot soreness, but the issue is believed to be mild and he's considered day-to-day. John Collins (illness) and Lauri Markkanen (hamstring) are also considered questionable for the Jazz, so they may need guys like Kelly Olynyk and Simone Fontecchio to step up if they are shorthanded.
DECEMBER 13, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Jordan Clarkson - Out at least two weeks The Jazz announced Tuesday that Clarkson was diagnosed with a right bicep femoris strain in his thigh and will be re-evaluated in two weeks.
Impact Clarkson sustained a right thigh contusion against the Pelicans on Nov. 27 and experienced continued hamstring discomfort against the Thunder. Talen Horton-Tucker, Colin Sexton and Kris Dunn are candidates to receive extended minutes in Clarkson's absence.
DECEMBER 13, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Lauri Markkanen - Upgraded to questionable Markkanen (hamstring) has been upgraded to questionable for Wednesday's game against the Knicks, Ben Anderson of KSL News Salt Lake City reports.
Impact Markkanen has missed the past eight games for Utah, but he's been ramping up his participation in recent practices and is on the verge of a return. That's great news for a Utah team that is going to be without Jordan Clarkson (thigh) for a couple weeks.
DECEMBER 13, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Collin Sexton - Impresses off bench Monday Sexton recorded 20 points (7-13 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 5-6 FT), four rebounds, two assists and two steals over 26 minutes during Monday's 134-120 loss to Oklahoma City.
Impact Despite coming off the bench, Sexton had an impressive outing, and he ended as one of Utah's leading scorers in this 14-point loss. Sexton has scored in double digits in four of his last five outings, and while the bench role limits his upside, he remains a viable fantasy alternative in most slates due to his scoring prowess alone.
DECEMBER 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Simone Fontecchio - Reaches season-high mark in scoring Fontecchio contributed 19 points (7-11 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, one assist and four blocks across 23 minutes during Monday's 134-120 loss to the Thunder.
Impact Fontecchio has started eight games in a row for the Jazz, and he seems to be enjoying the uptick in playing time, considering Lauri Markkanen (hamstring), John Collins (illness) and Walker Kessler (foot) have been missing time of late. Fontecchio will not have the same fantasy upside as some of the names above, even if he settles into a starting role, but he might be a decent plug-and-play option if he keeps scoring in double digits regularly. On that note, Fontecchio has reached 10 or more points in five of those eight starts.
DECEMBER 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Keyonte George - Delivers career-high 30 points George amassed 30 points (10-17 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 5-5 FT), three rebounds, seven assists and one steal across 33 minutes during Monday's 134-120 loss to the Thunder.
Impact George has settled into a starting role quicker than many would've expected, but he seems to improve with every passing game, and the rookie has been playing very well in recent weeks. Aside from notching a career-best scoring mark in this loss to the Thunder, he matched up well against an MVP candidate in Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. Plus, over his last 10 games, George is averaging a solid 15.2 points, 5.0 assists, 3.7 rebounds and 0.6 steals per contest.

Ochai Agbaji - Back with starters Agbaji is starting Monday's game against Oklahoma City.
Impact Agbaji will get another opportunity to start due to the absence of John Collins (illness). Agbaji has previously shown promise while in a starting role, averaging 13.3 points, 2.7 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 2.0 steals in 30.7 minutes during his last three starts ranging from Nov. 30 to Dec. 6 while Jordan Clarkson missed time with a thigh injury.
DECEMBER 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Kelly Olynyk - Running with starters Olynyk is starting Monday's game against the Thunder.
Impact Olynyk gets the start at center with Walker Kessler (foot) ruled out for Monday's clash. Olynyk has started only one other game this season, dating back to Nov. 22 against Portland. He proved himself more than capable of filling in, finishing with 13 points, nine rebounds, five assists, one steal and one block in 32 minutes.
DECEMBER 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
John Collins - Won't play Monday Collins (illness) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Thunder, Tony Jones of The Athletic reports.
Impact Collins will miss his first game of the season due to an illness. Lauri Markkanen (hamstring) and Walker Kessler (foot) are also out, so Simone Fontecchio, Taylor Hendricks, Kelly Olynyk and Omer Yurtseven will likely all play extended minutes. Collins' next chance to suit up will come Wednesday against the Knicks.
DECEMBER 11, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
John Collins - Questionable with illness Collins is questionable for Monday's game against Oklahoma City due to an illness, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
Impact Collins hasn't yet missed a game this season, but he was a late addition to Monday's injury report due to his illness. If he can't suit up against the Thunder, Simone Fontecchio and Taylor Hendricks are candidates to see increased run for the Jazz.
DECEMBER 11, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Walker Kessler - Dealing with foot injury Kessler has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Thunder due to right foot soreness.
Impact Kessler had returned to the starting lineup in Friday's game against the Clippers after coming off the bench for six straight games following his return from an elbow injury, but he will face another setback in the form of a foot injury. Omer Yurtseven and Kelly Olynyk will likely see significant minutes in Kessler's absence.
DECEMBER 11, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Lauri Markkanen - Unavailable Monday Markkanen (hamstring) is out for Monday's game against the Thunder.
Impact Markkanen will miss an eighth consecutive game due to a left hamstring strain, but he seems to be closing in on a return. Simone Fontecchio will likely remain in the starting lineup on Monday sans Markkanen.

Walker Kessler - Grabs 12 rebounds in loss Kessler ended with eight points (4-9 FG), 12 rebounds, three assists, four blocks and two steals over 31 minutes during Friday's 117-103 loss to the Clippers.
Impact Kessler woke up with a double-digit scoring total after failing to hit that milestone for five straight games. During his starting tenure to begin the season, Kessler delivered with solid rebound numbers in the starting lineup, and playing with the first unit will help Kessler's fantasy value if he continues to get the nod over Omer Yurtseven and Kelly Olynyk.

Jordan Clarkson - Struggles in return to lineup Clarkson accumulated six points (2-9 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-3 FT), four rebounds, five assists and one steal over 28 minutes during Friday's 117-103 loss to the Clippers.
Impact Clarkson couldn't get anything going and struggled to sink baskets in the loss, with his recent three-game absence as the likely cause of the downturn. Friday marked Clarkson's second-worst scoring total of the season and may need more injury management for his recent thigh injury.
DECEMBER 9, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
John Collins - Solid double-double in loss Collins ended Friday's 117-103 loss to the Clippers with 20 points (7-12 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 5-5 FT), 13 rebounds, two assists, four blocks and two steals over 35 minutes.
Impact Collins matched a season high with 29 points in the loss, and despite the poor result, this is the kind of performance the Jazz need while they continue to cope without Lauri Markkanen in the lineup. The team continues to experiment with the center position, but Collins has been a steady presence as a frontcourt menace at the four spot.
