Mitchell, Utah set for matchup with Phoenix

Donovan Mitchell leads Utah into a matchup with Phoenix averaging 25.9 points per game

Jazz get precisely what they need from Donovan Mitchell, Rudy Gobert in beating Mavericks Against a playoff-caliber opponent, the Jazz were as locked in emotionally as they have been for much of the season.

Uneventful performance Friday Clarkson racked up 13 points (5-13 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), one rebound and one steal in 22 minutes during Friday's 114-109 win over the Mavericks.
Impact Clarkson was quiet in the victory, racking up just 13 points in a very subdued performance. It was not a good night for Clarkson, who continues to offer upside in very few areas. As seen here, when his shot isn't falling, he has very little to fall back on. With such a limited skill set, he should be viewed as more of a streaming option in highly competitive leagues.

Shows out defensively Friday Gobert registered 14 points (6-6 FG, 2-4 FT), 17 rebounds, two assists and three blocks across 34 minutes during Friday's 114-109 win over the Mavericks.
Impact Gobert put up yet another double-double in the win, but it was his work on the defensive end that really stood out. He amassed three blocks, but much of his value came in the areas not captured by regular statistics. His defense on Luka Doncic down the stretch was key to the victory, highlighting just how important he is to the team. Much like Donovan Mitchell, Gobert is a highly-reliable fantasy asset and should remain that way moving forward.
FEBRUARY 26, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Drops game-high 33 points in win Mitchell had 33 points (11-19 FG, 7-12 3Pt, 4-5 FT), two rebounds, five assists and one steal in 36 minutes during Friday's 114-109 win over Dallas.
Impact Mitchell led the Jazz to a hard-fought victory Friday, continuing what has been his best fantasy season to date. Mitchell has always been about as consistent a player as fantasy managers will find. The Jazz are once again pushing hard for a high seed in the West, so there is very little reason to think anything changes down the stretch.

Officially out Gay (knee) has been ruled out for Friday's matchup with the Mavericks, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
Impact No surprise here, as Gay was deemed doubtful heading into the evening. The absence will be his sixth straight as the result of right knee soreness. His next opportunity to suit up will come Sunday versus the Suns.

Off injury report Mitchell (illness) is not on the injury report for Friday's game against the Mavericks.
Impact As expected, Mitchell will be available for the first game out of the break after being able to practice Thursday following an upper respiratory infection. Since the New Year, he's averaged 25.6 points, 5.6 assists, 5.0 rebounds and 1.7 steals in 34.3 minutes.
FEBRUARY 24, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Out Friday Butler (ankle) won't play Friday against the Mavericks, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
Impact Butler sat out Thursday's practice with a right ankle sprain and won't be available for Friday's contest. He headed into the All-Star break with a minor role in Utah's rotation, so his absence is unlikely to significantly affect the team's outlook versus Dallas.
FEBRUARY 24, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Doubtful Friday Gay (knee) is doubtful Friday against the Mavericks, Eric Walden of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
Impact Gay failed to practice Thursday, so a doubtful designation isn't surprising. If he's out, it will mark his sixth straight absence due to right knee soreness.

NBA odds: Every team's 2022 title futures after All-Star Weekend
Back at practice Thursday Mitchell (illness) participated in the Jazz's practice session Thursday and should be available for Friday's game against the Mavericks, Tony Jones of The Athletic reports.
Impact Over the weekend, Mitchell came down with an upper-respiratory infection, resulting in him being held out of Sunday's NBA All-Star Game as a precaution. Mitchell's presence at practice just a few days later suggests he's feeling healthy again, so he should be ready to go Friday when Utah opens its second-half schedule.
FEBRUARY 24, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Absent from practice Thursday Butler didn't participate in Thursday's practice session due to a right ankle sprain, Eric Walden of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
Impact It's not yet clear whether Butler will be available for Friday's game against Dallas. However, he didn't see much playing time ahead of the All-Star break, so his status shouldn't impact Utah's rotation.
FEBRUARY 24, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Doesn't practice Thursday Gay (knee) didn't participate in Thursday's practice session due to a non-COVID illness, Eric Walden of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
Impact Gay missed five consecutive games ahead of the All-Star break due to right knee soreness. It's not yet clear whether his knee injury or illness will impact his availability for Friday's game against the Mavericks.
