Keyonte George - Questionable for Monday George (ankle) is questionable for Monday's game in Houston.

Impact George has missed seven of the past eight games with an ankle injury, but Monday will mark the first time he's received the questionable tag since aggravating the ankle sprain on Feb. 7. We'll have a better idea on George's status based on his activity level at shootaround, but if he is able to return, Isaiah Collier's value would take a hit as he'd likely be sent back to the second unit.

Lauri Markkanen - Likely to play Monday Markkanen (illness) is probable for Monday's game against the Rockets.

Impact Markkanen is likely to return to action Monday after missing the last two games with an illness. Over his last five appearances, he holds averages of 21.6 points, 6.0 rebounds and 1.6 assists in 24.6 minutes per contest.

Jusuf Nurkic - Won't play Monday Nurkic (nose) has been ruled out for Monday's game in Houston.

Impact Monday will mark Nurkic's third consecutive game on the inactive list, and for now, he should be considered questionable for Thursday's game against the Pelicans. Kyle Filipowski will continue to get the bulk of the five-man minutes with Nurkic sidelined.

Elijah Harkless - Makes brief cameo Friday Harkless (hamstring) played seven minutes and finished with two points (1-1 FG, 0-1 FT), two rebounds and one assist in Friday's 123-114 loss to the Grizzlies.

Impact The two-way player hadn't made an appearance at the NBA or G League level since Jan. 3 while he recovered from a left hamstring injury before he was cleared to play coming out of the All-Star break. With Utah down five players due to injury Friday, Harkless ended up cracking the rotation, but he played just one shift in the first quarter before remaining on the bench for the final three periods. Expect Harkless to drop out of the rotation if the Jazz get one or more of Keyonte George (ankle), Jusuf Nurkic (nose) and Lauri Markkanen (illness) back in action for their next game Monday in Houston.

Oscar Tshiebwe - Grabs six boards in backup role Tshiebwe (concussion) tallied two points (1-2 FG) and six rebounds in 14 minutes off the bench in Friday's 123-114 loss to the Grizzlies.

Impact Tshiebwe exited the Jazz's final game before the All-Star break Feb. 12 against the Trail Blazers and landed in the concussion protocol, but he passed all testing and was cleared in advance of the team's first contest of the second half Friday. Though the two-way player has seen scarce action at the NBA level this season, he ended up serving as the primary backup to starting center Kyle Filipowski while the Jazz were without Lauri Markkanen (illness) and Jusuf Nurkic (nose) in the frontcourt. If Utah gets one of those two big men back for its next game Monday in Houston, Tshiebwe could fall back out of the rotation.

Kyle Filipowski - Scores 20 points with four stocks Filipowski posted 20 points (9-13 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT), six rebounds, three assists, two blocks and two steals across 28 minutes during Friday's 123-114 loss to Memphis.

Impact Filipowski was hot from the jump, dropping in 12 points on six shots in his first eight minutes of play, and he only missed one shot through the first half of play. With Jaren Jackson (knee) done for the year and Jusuf Nurkic constantly getting hit with random rest days, Filipowski looks primed for a strong finish to the 2025-26 season.

2 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Ace Bailey - Scores 20 points on 19 shots Bailey recorded 20 points (8-19 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 2-3 FT), six rebounds, three assists and one block over 33 minutes during Friday's 123-114 loss to the Grizzlies.

Impact Bailey got all the shots he wanted with both Lauri Markkanen (illness) and Keyonte George (ankle) unavailable, and finished with a team-high 19 field goal attempts. Bailey has been playing well over the past four games, averaging 16.0 points, 6.5 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.5 triples per contest.

2 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Isaiah Collier - Nets 24 points with six stocks Collier recorded 24 points (9-16 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 4-6 FT), two rebounds, five assists, two blocks and four steals across 25 minutes during Friday's 123-114 loss to Memphis.

Impact Collier wreaked havoc on the defensive end, tying career highs in steals and blocks, and this was the fourth game of his career with at least four steals. Collier has been flirting with top-40 value over the past eight games with averages of 18.1 points, 10.9 dimes and 2.5 swipes per contest.

Brice Sensabaugh - Not starting Friday Sensabaugh will not start against the Grizzlies on Friday.

Impact Sensabaugh got the starting nod in Utah's final outing before the All-Star break but will slide to the second unit in favor of John Konchar on Friday. Over six outings off the bench this month, Sensabaugh has averaged 13.2 points and 2.7 rebounds in 24.7 minutes per contest.

John Konchar - Starting Friday vs. Memphis Konchar is in the Jazz's starting lineup against the Grizzlies on Friday.

Impact Konchar will make his second start of the season (and first as a member of the Jazz) due to the absences of Lauri Markkanen (illness) and Jusuf Nurkic (nose). Konchar's last start took place Jan. 21 as a member of the Grizzlies, when he logged two points, four rebounds, two steals and one block over 21 minutes in a 124-122 loss to the Hawks.

2 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Lauri Markkanen - Not playing Friday Markkanen (illness) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Grizzlies.

Impact Markkanen saw his injury status downgrade from questionable to doubtful, and the veteran forward will end up sitting out of Friday's game while battling through an illness. His absence means Kyle Filipowski, John Konchar and Kevin Love are all be poised for larger roles against Memphis. Markkanen's next opportunity to play is Monday against the Rockets.

2 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Oscar Tshiebwe - Available Friday Tshiebwe (concussion) is available for Friday's game against the Grizzlies.

Impact Tshiebwe will shed his questionable tag and suit up Friday after being placed in the league's concussion protocol during Utah's Feb. 12 loss to Portland. The two-way player isn't guaranteed to see significant burn but could enter the rotation with Lauri Markkanen (illness) doubtful and Jusuf Nurkic (nose) joining Jaren Jackson (knee) on the sidelines.

2 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Lauri Markkanen - Downgraded to doubtful for Friday Markkanen (illness) has been downgraded to doubtful for Friday's game in Memphis.

Impact It appears that Markkanen will be held out of Friday's game, which should open up minutes for guys like Brice Sensabaugh, Kyle Filipowski and John Konchar. Check back closer to tipoff for official confirmation on Markkanen's status.
