Kyle Filipowski News, Rumors, Updates - Utah Jazz

Falls short of double-double Filipowski finished Thursday's 135-119 loss to the Trail Blazers with 15 points (6-9 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-4 FT), nine rebounds, three assists and six steals in 30 minutes.

Impact Getting his third start in seven February contests, Filipowski just missed recording his fourth double-double of the month while setting a new career high in steals. With the Jazz trying to balance tanking for the top of the lottery against the league's load management rules, the second-year big is likely to continue seeing his court time and role fluctuate wildly on the other side of the All-Star break. In those three February starts, Filipowski is averaging 15.3 points, 14.0 boards, 3.0 assists, 3.0 steals and 1.3 threes in 31.3 minutes.

Running with first unit Filipowski is starting Thursday's game against the Trail Blazers.

Impact Filipowski is back in the starting lineup after coming off the bench in three straight games. It looks like it could be another night in which Jusuf Nurkic is available off the bench but won't play, meaning there could be plenty of chances for Filipowski to make an impact.

Sensabaugh hits late 3-pointer to lift Jazz to 115-111 win over Heat

Bounces back with double-double Filipowski recorded 16 points (4-9 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 8-8 FT), 11 rebounds, two assists and two steals over 23 minutes during Monday's 115-111 victory over Miami.

Impact Filipowski was held to 12 minutes in his previous showing Saturday against the Magic, but he drew more opportunities Monday evening and made a significant impact. He did a good chunk of his damage from the charity stripe where he drilled a season-high eight shots, and he snagged double-digit rebounds for the third time in his last four games. Filipowski should continue to be in the frontcourt mix, though it's becoming difficult to predict when starters such as Jusuf Nurkic and Jaren Jackson will be featured versus giving players like Filipowski and John Konchar chances to show what they can do.

Only 12 minutes in loss Filipowski logged nine points (2-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-5 FT) and five rebounds across 12 minutes during Saturday's 120-117 loss to Orlando.

Impact Filipowski logged just 12 minutes, continuing what has been a frustrating time for fantasy managers. The addition of Jaren Jackson prior to the trade deadline only complicates matters for Filiowski, at least for the short term. He remains a strong stash candidate, given the likely event that Utah opts to lean more on its youth. Until then, managers will simply have to deal with his inconsistent role.

Won't start Saturday Filipowski won't start against the Magic on Saturday, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

Impact The second-year center will retreat to the second unit in favor of Jusuf Nurkic on Saturday. Filipowski has averaged 8.2 points, 5.6 rebounds and 1.8 assists across 20.0 minutes per game over 33 appearances off the bench this season.

FEBRUARY 7 • ROTOWIRE

Hauls in season-high 17 boards Filipowski logged 15 points (5-9 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 3-5 FT), 17 rebounds and one assist in 28 minutes during Thursday's 121-119 loss to the Hawks.

Impact The 17 rebounds were a season high for Filipowski, who submitted his sixth double-double of the year. Jusuf Nurkic ended up staying put with the Jazz following Thursday's trade deadline, but the veteran big man didn't appear against Atlanta and carries an uncertain future in Utah. Filipowski, on the other hand, is flourishing in the first unit in the meantime, averaging 14.4 points, 10.1 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.1 steals in 29.9 minutes per contest in his last 13 games as a starter.

Double-doubles in win Filipowski supplied 16 points (6-12 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 16 rebounds, five assists, three steals and one block across 36 minutes during Tuesday's 131-122 win over the Pacers.

Impact The second-year center got the starting nod in place of Jusuf Nurkic, who was available to suit up but ultimately received a day off after initially being ruled out due to rest purposes. Filipowski grabbed a game- and season-high 16 rebounds, securing his fifth double-double on the campaign. The Jazz traded for Jaren Jackson on Tuesday, which will likely affect Filipowski's playing time if the club holds onto Nurkic past the trade deadline. However, Utah still holds a top-eight protected pick and may continue resting key players as the season progresses, keeping Filipowski in the fantasy mix as a viable streaming option.

Jumping into starting lineup Filipowski is starting Tuesday's game against the Pacers.

Impact The Jazz have a depleted frontcourt for the interim in the aftermath of Tuesday's Jaren Jackson trade. It's set to be the 17th start of the campaign for the second-year big man, who has averaged 11.8 points, 7.5 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 0.8 steals in 26.3 minutes per tilt as a starter this season.

Won't start vs. Toronto Filipowski won't start against the Raptors on Sunday.

Impact Jusuf Nurkic (illness) will return to action Sunday, pushing Filipowski to the bench. Over 12 games off the bench in January, the second-year center averaged 8.0 points, 5.4 rebounds and 1.6 assists in 19.8 minutes per contest.

Starting sans Nurkic Filipowski will start against the Nets on Friday.

Impact The second-year center will get the starting nod due to Jusuf Nurkic (illness) being sidelined. As a starter this season (15 games), Filipowski has averaged 11.6 points, 7.2 rebounds and 2.5 assists across 26.1 minutes per game.

Corrals 10 boards off bench Filipowski had eight points (3-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-4 FT), 10 rebounds, two assists and one steal across 24 minutes during Tuesday's 115-103 loss to the Clippers.

Impact With Jusuf Nurkic out sick Tuesday, the Jazz ended up dividing the center minutes evenly between Kevin Love and Filipowski. Over his last five appearances, Filipowski has averaged 9.2 points, 6.6 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 1.0 steals in 23.3 minutes per game. His role could diminish if Nurkic returns to the floor Wednesday against the Warriors.

Impact Making his third straight start while Lauri Markkanen (illness) is sidelined, Filipowski delivered his third double-double of the season.

Strikes for 19 in Wednesday's start Filipowski ended with 19 points (9-15 FG, 1-3 3Pt), seven rebounds, four assists and three steals over 31 minutes during Wednesday's 128-126 loss to the Bulls.

Impact Getting his first start since Jan. 1 with Lauri Markkanen (illness) and Jusuf Nurkic (toe/rest) both out of action, Filipowski produced his best scoring effort since Dec. 23. The second-year center has plenty of fantasy appeal when he gets a chance to play big minutes, but Filipowski has seen more than 25 minutes just twice in 11 games since Christmas, averaging 7.2 points, 4.6 boards, 1.5 assists and 1.6 combined steals and blocks in 19.0 minutes during that stretch.

Scores 19 points in start Filipowski generated 19 points (9-15 FG, 1-3 3Pt), seven rebounds, four assists and three steals across 31 minutes of Wednesday's 128-126 loss to Chicago.

Impact Filipowski made his first start since Jan. 1, replacing Jusuf Nurkic, who wound up being a DNP-Coach's Decision Wednesday. Filipowski had a productive outing, exceeding the 18-point milestone for just the fourth time this season. He had been in a minor slump leading up to Wednesday's game, averaging 4.5 points and going 8-for-24 (33 percent) from the field over his last four games.

Woeful in loss Filipowski had two points (1-6 FG) and five rebounds in four minutes during Wednesday's 129-125 overtime loss to the Thunder.

Impact Filiowski was terrible Wednesday, logging a season-low four minutes. Seen as a likely silly-season winner, Filipowski's numbers over the past month have been far from ideal. In 13 appearances during that time, he has averaged 8.7 points and 5.5 rebounds in 20.8 minutes per contest, leaving him well outside the top 250 in standard formats.

JANUARY 8 • ROTOWIRE

Coming off bench vs. Golden State Filipowski is not in the Jazz's starting lineup against the Warriors on Saturday.

Impact Even with Jusuf Nurkic (toe) missing a second straight game, Filipowski will operate in a reserve role Saturday while Kevin Love draws the start at center. Filipowski has started in seven of the Jazz's last 13 games, and over that span he has averaged 10.5 points, 6.7 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 0.8 steals over 25.0 minutes per game.
