Georges Niang - Remains without timetable Niang (foot) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Cavaliers.

Impact Niang has yet to make his season debut as he recovers from a fourth metatarsal stress reaction in his left foot and remains without a timetable for a return. The veteran forward should be considered week-to-week until the Jazz offer an update on his progress.

Jusuf Nurkic - Probable to return Monday Nurkic (toe) is listed as probable for Monday's game against the Cavaliers.

Impact Nurkic is trending toward returning Monday from a two-game absence due to a toe sprain, and his return would likely result in Kevin Love reverting to a bench role. Nurkic has appeared in just 12 of 19 games since Dec. 1 due to injury, and over that span he has averaged 14.3 points, 10.3 rebounds, 4.8 assists, 0.8 threes and 0.9 steals over 27.9 minutes per game.

Lauri Markkanen - Will play Monday Markkanen (rest) is not being listed on the injury report ahead of Monday's matchup with the Cavs.

Impact Markkanen took a rest day Saturday, but he'll be back in action Monday evening, which will likely shift Taylor Hendricks back to the second unit. Jusuf Nurkic (toe) is also on track to play, so with both Nurkic and Markkanen active, Kyle Anderson could drop from the rotation entirely.

Ace Bailey - Iffy for Monday Bailey (hip) is questionable for Monday's game against Cleveland.

Impact Bailey has missed seven of Utah's last eight games due to a left hip flexor strain, though he'll have a shot at returning Monday. The rookie first-rounder will likely face a minutes restriction if he's cleared to play, though his presence would leave fewer minutes available for Cody Williams and Svi Mykhailiuk.

Brice Sensabaugh - Drops season-high 26 points in loss Sensabaugh accumulated 26 points (9-16 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 5-6 FT) and three rebounds in 30 minutes during Saturday's 150-95 loss to Charlotte.

Impact With Lauri Markkanen (rest), Ace Bailey (hip) and Jusuf Nurkic (toe) unavailable, Sensabaugh stepped up on the offensive end, albeit in a blowout loss. The 22-year-old swingman set a new season-high mark in points, scoring at least 20 for the fifth time across 37 regular-season outings (nine starts). Sensabaugh has scored in double figures in five of his last six games (all starts), averaging 15.5 points, 3.8 rebounds and 2.2 assists in 29.0 minutes per contest over that stretch.

Isaiah Collier - Nears double-double in loss Collier finished with 17 points (8-16 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), nine assists, two steals and one rebound in 34 minutes during Saturday's 150-95 loss to Charlotte.

Impact After totaling 13 points and 11 assists in his previous two appearances. Collier finished one assist shy of a double-double, albeit in a blowout loss. The second-year point guard saw 30-plus minutes for just the fifth time this season with multiple key contributors sidelined, and he scored double-digit points for the second time in his last five outings. Collier continues to produce inconsistent scoring numbers, though he has dished out at least eight assists in 11 of his last 15 outings.

1 DAY AGO • ROTOWIRE

Cody Williams - Chips in 15 points in loss Williams finished Saturday's 150-95 loss to Charlotte with 15 points (5-9 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-5 FT) and two rebounds in 32 minutes.

Impact Williams got the starting nod for a second consecutive contest and finished as Utah's third-leading scorer on efficient shooting from the field. However, he also recorded an abysmal minus-60 point differential. The second-year forward has logged double-digit minutes in eight straight games, though Ace Bailey's (hip) eventual return to action and a normal workload should significantly eat into Williams' minutes.

Taylor Hendricks - Starting sans Markkanen Hendricks will start against the Hornets on Saturday.

Impact With Lauri Markkanen (rest) sitting out Saturday's contest, Hendricks will enter the starting five. In five starts so far this season, the 22-year-old forward has averaged 4.8 points and 4.4 rebounds in 18.2 minutes per contest.

Jusuf Nurkic - Downgraded to out Nurkic (toe) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against Charlotte.

Impact Nurkic will miss a second straight game due to a toe sprain on his left foot. His absence will mean more opportunities for Kevin Love and Kyle Filipowski. Nurkic's next chance to play will come Monday at Cleveland.

Lauri Markkanen - Ruled out for Saturday Markkanen (rest) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Hornets.

Impact Markkanen will get Saturday night off, and his next opportunity to play will come Monday against the Cavaliers. With the 28-year-old forward unavailable, Cody Williams, Taylor Hendricks and Kyle Anderson are candidates to see increased playing time.

2 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Jusuf Nurkic - Questionable for Saturday Nurkic (toe) is questionable for Saturday's game versus the Hornets.

Impact Nurkic sat out the second leg of a back-to-back set with the toe issue Thursday, which resulted in Kevin Love drawing the start and Kyle Anderson was able to get into the rotation. If Nurkic is out again Saturday, it'll be more of the same, but we'll have a better idea on Nurkic's status based on his activity level at shootaround.

2 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Ace Bailey - Not playing Saturday Bailey (hip) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Hornets.

Impact Bailey will miss a second consecutive game while nursing a left hip flexor strain, the same injury which caused him to miss the Jazz's five games prior to their overtime loss to the Thunder on Wednesday. Bailey's next opportunity to play is Monday against the Cavaliers, though given how long he's been dealing with his injury, the Jazz could opt to play things cautiously with the rookie first-rounder. Brice Sensabaugh should continue to see additional playing time for as long as Bailey is sidelined.

Isaiah Collier - Sees 18 minutes in win Collier accumulated seven points (3-5 FG, 1-2 3Pt), one rebound, six assists and one block across 18 minutes during Thursday's 116-114 victory over Dallas.

Impact With Keyonte George in the midst of a breakout season and with the Jazz looking to get Walter Clayton more involved, Collier hasn't been able to generate much fantasy appeal. Over his last four games, he's averaging 7.8 points, 6.5 assists, 2.5 rebounds and 1.0 steals on 59.1 percent shooting from the field in 22.0 minutes per contest.

2 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Svi Mykhailiuk - Drops out of rotation Thursday Mykhailiuk (coach's decision) went unused off the bench in Thursday's 116-114 win over the Mavericks.

Impact Following a four-game run as a starter in which he played 20-plus minutes on each occasion, Mykhailiuk was left out of the rotation entirely while he moved to the bench and ceded his spot on the top unit to Cody Williams. Mykhailiuk has now failed to see any minutes on each of the three occasions that he hasn't started this season, and he could find himself out of the rotation on a more frequent basis now that Utah is nearly at full strength in the backcourt and on the wing. Ace Bailey (hip) sat out the second leg of the back-to-back set Thursday, but he'll likely be back in action Saturday against the Hornets and could eventually supplant Williams in the starting five while pushing Mykhailiuk further down the depth chart.

Cody Williams - Sees 22 minutes in start Williams supplied eight points (4-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt), three rebounds, four assists and two steals over 22 minutes during Thursday's 116-114 win over the Mavericks.

Impact Williams made his first start of the season with Ace Bailey and Jusuf Nurkic sitting out the second leg of this back-to-back set for maintenance. It's no secret that Williams has struggled in Utah, though Thursday's outing was a positive step in the right direction. Fantasy managers in deeper formats can monitor him from the waiver wire for now.

2 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Kyle Anderson - Sees 26 minutes in win Anderson logged two points (1-5 FG), seven rebounds, two assists and two steals over 26 minutes during Thursday's 116-114 victory over Dallas.

Impact With Ace Bailey and Jusuf Nurkic getting the night off for the second leg of this back-to-back set, Anderson made a rare appearance off the bench for Utah. He usually doesn't see the floor when the team is at full strength, however, so he can be ignored in standard formats for the time being.
