Isaiah Collier - Distributes game-high 11 assistsCollier closed with eight points (3-10 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-4 FT), seven rebounds, 11 assists, one block and one steal over 35 minutes during Friday's 136-123 loss to the Pelicans.

ImpactAlthough he moved back to Utah's bench with Keyonte George and Collin Sexton both healthy Friday, Collier distributed a game-high 11 dimes and led the team with 35 minutes. Collier is pushing to carve out a bigger role with the Jazz as he continues to display an aptitude for passing, averaging 11.0 points, 9.0 assists, 4.6 rebounds and 1.0 steals in 31.8 minutes through his past five outings. The rookie first-rounder's fantasy upside may be limited while George and Sexton are healthy, but the former should be able to maintain a fairly stable role while Jordan Clarkson (foot) sits on the shelf.

Drew Eubanks - Season-high 17 points in spot startEubanks contributed 17 points (6-8 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 4-4 FT), seven rebounds, one assist, four blocks and one steal in 25 minutes during Friday's 136-123 loss to the Pelicans.

ImpactStarting at center for the resting Walker Kessler on Friday, Eubanks notched a season-high 17 points and four blocks while co-leading the Jazz with seven rebounds. Eubanks is now averaging 8.7 points, 6.1 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.2 blocks in 19.2 minutes while shooting 68.1 percent from the floor across his last nine contests (two starts). The veteran big man has proven to be a useful stopgap solution when Utah chooses to give Kessler a night off, but Eubanks could be hard-pressed for consistent fantasy value when the team's frontcourt is healthier.

Svi Mykhailiuk - Serviceable results in startMykhailiuk racked up 16 points (6-14 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five rebounds, two assists and one block over 28 minutes during Friday's 136-123 loss to New Orleans.

ImpactMykhailiuk continues to be serviceable for the banged-up Jazz, as he's now hit double-digit scoring figures in seven of his last eight appearances. During this frame, the veteran sharpshooter has averaged 13.0 points, 2.5 assists, 2.4 rebounds, 1.0 steals and 2.6 threes in 21.3 minutes. That said, it's hard to envision Mykhailiuk playing a significant role in Utah's rotation once the frontcourt eventually gets back Lauri Markkanen (back), John Collins (hip) and Walker Kessler (rest), leaving the former with a cloudy rest-of-season fantasy outlook.

Jeremiah Robinson-Earl - Fills box score FridayRobinson-Earl ended Friday's 136-123 win over Utah with eight points (4-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt), seven rebounds, three assists, one block and two steals in 21 minutes.

ImpactRobinson-Earl filled the box score for the Pelicans on Friday, putting up his highest scoring output since a nine-point showing in the Dec. 26 loss to Houston. However, it was veteran big man Daniel Theis who got the starting nod at center in the absence of Yves Missi, meaning Robinson-Earl likely remains quite far off from fantasy relevance. Robinson-Earl hasn't attained double-digit points or boards since a Nov. 27 defeat to Toronto.

Daniel Theis - Fills in admirably FridayTheis recorded 18 points (6-9 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 4-5 FT), eight rebounds, three assists and one steal in 28 minutes during Friday's 136-123 win over the Jazz.

ImpactMaking his first start for the Pelicans since Nov. 25, Theis made an immediate impact in his return to the first unit with his highest scoring output of the year in a season-high 28 minutes. Having now played eight games as a starter, the veteran big man has averaged 6.1 points, 4.5 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.1 blocks in 17.9 minutes as a member of New Orleans' starting lineup. With starting center Yves Missi (illness) presumably just day-to-day, Theis doesn't appear to be the most appealing cursory pickup in fantasy leagues despite Friday's outburst.
