Oscar Tshiebwe - Depth role continues Tshiebwe closed Saturday's 115-105 loss to New Orleans with zero points (0-1 FG) and three rebounds in nine minutes.

Impact Tshiebwe remained in the rotation Saturday and has now seen the court in four of Utah's past five games. However, three of those appearances have yielded no more than 10 minutes, an indication that he is still somewhat buried on the depth chart. His ability to rebound the basketball should at least have him on the radar as a potential streaming option, should his role increase as we near the end of the season.

Keyonte George - Drops 17 points in return George chipped in 17 points (4-11 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 8-10 FT), two rebounds and four assists across 23 minutes during Saturday's 115-105 loss to New Orleans.

Impact George returned to action after missing the previous six games with a recurring ankle injury. As expected, he moved straight back in the starting lineup, logging 23 minutes in the process. Given Utah's current priorities, expect to see George playing limited minutes, at least for the next few games. With potential rest nights also not out of the question, rostering him could be a bumpy ride for the foreseeable future.

John Konchar - Limited minutes in loss Konchar amassed three points (1-3 FG, 1-3 3Pt), two rebounds and two steals in 15 minutes during Saturday's 115-105 loss to the Pelicans.

Impact Konchar not only moved back to the bench, but he also logged just 15 minutes, the fewest he has played since arriving in Utah. While his role is seemingly going to shift on a nightly basis, he did manage to rack up another two steals, bringing his total steals to 17 in his past five games. Given the uncertainty, managers should view him as nothing more than a schedule-based streaming consideration.

Blake Hinson - Drawing first NBA start Hinson will start Saturday's game against the Pelicans.

Impact The two-way player will get the starting nod for the first time in his young NBA career, pushing John Konchar to the bench. Over three appearances so far this season, Hinson has averaged 8.7 points and 1.7 rebounds in 19.7 minutes per contest.

John Konchar - Not starting vs. New Orleans Konchar won't start against the Pelicans on Saturday.

Impact With Lauri Markkanen (hip) unavailable, Konchar will retreat to the second unit in favor of Blake Hinson on Saturday. Over five appearances off the bench for Utah so far this season, Konchar has averaged 3.0 points, 3.8 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.6 steals in 20.4 minutes per tilt.

Isaiah Collier - Reverting to bench role Collier won't start Saturday's game against the Pelicans.

Impact With Keyonte George (ankle) back in action, Collier will slide to the second unit. The second-year point guard has averaged 9.3 points, 6.7 assists, 2.4 rebounds and 0.9 steals in 23.3 minutes per game across 36 outings off the bench so far this season.

Keyonte George - Will play Saturday George (ankle) is available for Saturday's game against the Pelicans, Sarah Todd of The Deseret News reports.

Impact George has appeared in just one game so far this month -- a Feb. 7 loss to Orlando -- during which he logged 13 minutes before sustaining a right ankle sprain that caused him to miss six consecutive contests. Before picking up the right ankle injury, he missed three straight games with a left ankle sprain. It wouldn't be surprising to see the third-year point guard operate under a minutes restriction during his return to action.

Keyonte George - Trending toward playing Saturday George (ankle) has been upgraded from questionable to probable ahead of Saturday's game against the Pelicans.

Impact George has missed nine of the Jazz's last 10 games (including each of the last six contests) due to a right ankle sprain. It looks like the third-year pro will return Saturday, which would likely result in Isaiah Collier or John Konchar moving to a bench role against NEw Orleans.

Keyonte George - Questionable for Saturday George (ankle) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Pelicans.

Impact George has missed Utah's last six outings due to a right ankle sprain he sustained in a Feb. 7 loss to Orlando. However, he has now drawn a questionable tag ahead of three consecutive contests and appears to be nearing a return to game action. If he remains sidelined Saturday, Isaiah Collier should continue to start.

Isaiah Collier - Continues to produce in first unit Collier finished with 11 points (5-11 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), one rebound, seven assists and one steal over 27 minutes during Thursday's 129-118 loss to the Pelicans.

Impact It doesn't sound like the Jazz are in a rush to bring Keyonte George (ankle) back, extending Collier's runway in the first unit. Collier has started nine of his last 10 outings, averaging 17.3 points, 9.7 assists, 2.8 rebounds and 2.3 steals in 33.7 minutes per game during this stretch.

Elijah Harkless - Posts 11 points over 21 minutes Harkless supplied 11 points (3-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 5-6 FT), three rebounds, six assists, one block and four steals across 21 minutes during Thursday's 129-118 loss to New Orleans.

Impact The Jazz will likely keep Harkless with the parent club for at least another week, and his tenure could be permanent, as the UNLV product has 40 more games of eligibility under his current deal. The recent hamstring injury appears to be a non-issue, and he'll likely see significant minutes if Keyonte George's ankle injury persists.

Brice Sensabaugh - Provides 20 points from bench Sensabaugh finished Thursday's 129-118 loss to New Orleans with 20 points (7-13 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 3-5 FT), three rebounds, two assists and one steal in 25 minutes.

Impact With several absences throughout the Jazz's roster, Sensabaugh was able to put in 25 minutes of work with the second unit. The third-year pro kept the good vibes going after posting 26 points in the loss against Houston, and his recent results have been equally impressive. He's averaged 17.6 points, 3.1 rebounds and 1.9 assists over the past nine games.

Ace Bailey - Paces team with 23 points Bailey ended Thursday's 129-118 loss to New Orleans with 23 points (9-17 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 3-3 FT), four rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal in 29 minutes.

Impact Bailey stepped up amid Lauri Markannen's (hip) absence and procided the team's highest point total. Although he failed to make an impact against Houston earlier in the week, he hit for 20 points against Memphis following the All-Star break. The low total against the Rockets snapped a seven-game streak of double-digit scoring results, but he seems to be back on track.
