Ace Bailey - Struggles in return Bailey recorded two points (1-3 FG, 0-2 3Pt), one rebound and one steal over 10 minutes during Wednesday's 129-125 overtime loss to the Thunder.

Impact Bailey returned from a five-game absence as a result of a hip injury, logging just 10 minutes off the bench. While he should eventually move back into the starting lineup, the medical staff is likely to take a cautious approach, meaning his playing time could be limited for the foreseeable future. Even as a starter, Bailey has failed to make the most of his opportunities thus far this season, averaging 10.1 points and 1.5 three-pointers in 23.4 minutes per game.

Kyle Filipowski - 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.

Walter Clayton Jr. - Pops for 15 points Clayton produced 15 points (5-11 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 1-1 FT), six rebounds, four assists and one block in 27 minutes during Wednesday's 129-125 overtime loss to Oklahoma City.

Impact Clayton tallied double digits for the first time in the past five games, playing an expanded role in the overtime loss. With Jusuf Nurkic fouling out, it was Clayton who closed the game, allowing him to improve on his recent production. With that said, his shot-making down the stretch left a lot to be desired, contributing to the end result. At this stage, Clayton should be viewed as a potential stash candidate, if and when Utah opts to lean into its youth.

Lauri Markkanen - Delivers double-double in OT loss Markkanen generated 29 points (11-19 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 4-5 FT), 13 rebounds, one assist and one steal across 44 minutes of Wednesday's 129-125 overtime loss to the Thunder.

Impact Markkanen notched his third double-double of the campaign, and he fell just one point short of his 13th game of 30 points. Since the start of December, Markkanen has averaged 27.5 points, 8.3 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.3 steals across 27.5 minutes.

Kevin Love - Sitting out against Thunder Love (rest) is out for Wednesday's game against the Thunder.

Impact After holding him out of action during Monday's loss in Portland, the Jazz are electing to give Love another maintenance day Wednesday. The veteran big man's absence should enable Kyle Filipowski to solely take on backup center duties behind Jusuf Nurkic.

Ace Bailey - Iffy for Wednesday Bailey is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Thunder due to a left hip flexor strain.

Impact The rookie first-rounder is trying to end a five-game absence with the strain. If Bailey isn't ready to return Wednesday, Brice Sensabaugh would likely continue to start. Svi Mykhailiuk and Taylor Hendricks would also have an opportunity to claim a more sizable role in this case.

Svi Mykhailiuk - Sees 20 minutes in loss Mykhailiuk produced eight points (3-9 FG, 2-7 3Pt) and one rebound over 20 minutes during Monday's 137-117 loss to the Trail Blazers.

Impact Mykhailiuk continues to start for the Jazz, but the return of Ace Bailey (hip) in the near future could potentially push him out of the rotation. Over his last three appearances, Mykhailiuk has been pretty quiet with 7.7 points, 2.0 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 1.7 three-pointers in 23.8 minutes per contest.

Keyonte George - Cobbles together 15 points in loss George ended with 15 points (5-12 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds, four assists and one steal across 33 minutes during Monday's 137-117 loss to Portland.

Impact George added 15 points to an anemic Utah performance as the team's fortunes continue to sink. Despite the team's struggles, George has been a beacon of production in the backcourt, and although a recent illness decreased his totals somewhat, his 24.3 point-per-game average is on pace to crush his previous seasonal numbers. His current average of 6.8 assists is also set to be his best average in the category over his three-year pro career.

Jusuf Nurkic - Returns with double -double in loss Nurkic ended with 21 points (9-12 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), 12 rebounds, five assists and two steals across 31 minutes during Monday's 137-117 loss to the Trail Blazers.

Impact Nurkic logged 31 minutes and showed no ill effects from the toe injury that forced a two-game absence. The Jazz lost two games without his frontcourt presence, and his solid total wasn't enough to overcome the Trail Blazers' scoring onslaught, as the team dropped its fourth consecutive contest.

1 DAY AGO • ROTOWIRE

Lauri Markkanen - Posts team-high 22 points in defeat Markkanen notched 22 points (8-17 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT), four rebounds, four assists, one block and three steals in 32 minutes during Monday's 137-117 loss to the Trail Blazers.

Impact Markkanen played through his toe injury and recorded a solid total for his struggling squad, which suffered its fourth consecutive loss. The Jazz's roster situation looked bleak earlier in the week, but Markkanen's return and Jusuf Nurkic's injury tag removal certainly improved the team's chances of success in the frontcourt. Still, Markkanen had no answer for Deni Avdija and managed only four rebounds.
