John Collins - Iffy against New YorkCollins (illness) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game versus the Knicks, Ben Anderson of KSL News Salt Lake City reports.

ImpactCollins 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.

Walker Kessler - Questionable for WednesdayKessler (foot) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Knicks, Ben Anderson of KSL News Salt Lake City reports.

ImpactKessler 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.

Jordan Clarkson - Out at least two weeksThe Jazz announced Tuesday that Clarkson was diagnosed with a right bicep femoris strain in his thigh and will be re-evaluated in two weeks.

ImpactClarkson 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.

Lauri Markkanen - Upgraded to questionableMarkkanen (hamstring) has been upgraded to questionable for Wednesday's game against the Knicks, Ben Anderson of KSL News Salt Lake City reports.

ImpactMarkkanen 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.

Ousmane Dieng - Nearly perfect off bench in winDieng finished Monday's 134-120 win over the Jazz with 18 points (6-7 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three rebounds and three assists across 26 minutes.

ImpactDieng had seen limited minutes in his previous appearances with the Thunder, but he had his best performance of the season here, eclipsing both the 20-minute mark and the 15-point plateau for the first time in the campaign. Given he missed just one shot from the field, there's a chance the Thunder might have rode with him simply because he had a hot hand. This performance shouldn't be a sign of his potential upside going forward.

Chet Holmgren - Efficient in win over UtahHolmgren registered 16 points (6-9 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal across 25 minutes during Monday's 134-120 victory over Utah.

ImpactHolmgren has managed to deliver steady numbers of late, and though his numbers have not been as eye-popping as Victor Wembanyama's, he remains an above-average rookie who can make an impact on both ends of the court. A legit double-double threat every time he steps on the court, Holmgren is averaging 18.9 points, 7.9 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 2.7 blocks per game over his last 10 outings.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander - Goes for 30 points MondayGilgeous-Alexander racked up 30 points (12-17 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 6-6 FT), four rebounds, seven assists and three steals over 28 minutes during Monday's 134-120 victory over the Jazz.

ImpactGilgeous-Alexander extended his impressive scoring streak of 30 or more points, as he has achieved that feat in three games in a row and seven of his last eight appearances. The arrival of Chet Holmgren has reduced his scoring numbers a bit, but he continues to be an elite fantasy player who keeps delivering first-round value game after game. He's averaging 31.5 points, 6.2 assists, 5.1 rebounds and 2.8 steals per game since the start of November.
