Taylor Hendricks - Pops for season-high 21 Hendricks finished with 21 points (7-10 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 5-5 FT), four rebounds, one assist and three steals in 27 minutes off the bench during Tuesday's 137-128 loss to the Grizzlies.

Impact The third-year forward saw his biggest workload of the season with both Lauri Markkanen (groin) and Jusuf Kurkic (rest) both missing from the Utah frontcourt, and Hendricks turned the opportunity into a new season scoring high. After losing his spot in the rotation in early November, Hendricks is fighting to regain it, and over his last six appearances he's averaging 11.2 points, 3.3 boards, 1.8 threes, 0.7 assists and 0.7 steals in just 19.5 minutes while shooting 68.8 percent from the floor and 61.1 percent (11-for-18) from beyond the arc.

Keyonte George - Hits for 24 in Tuesday's loss George totaled 24 points (6-12 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 8-9 FT), two rebounds, four assists and one steal across 34 minutes during Tuesday's 137-128 loss to the Grizzlies.

Impact The third-year guard scored 20-plus points for the sixth straight game and the eighth time in 10 December contests, and his breakout campaign is showing no signs of abating. On the month, George is averaging 26.4 points, 6.7 assists, 4.4 boards and 3.0 threes, and his shooting continues to improve rather than showing signs of regression -- he's shooting 46.4 percent from the floor, 92.0 percent from the free-throw line and 42.9 percent from long range over that span.

Kyle Filipowski - Double-double in Tuesday's start Filipowski finished with 25 points (9-15 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 5-8 FT), 13 rebounds, four assists and two blocks across 35 minutes during Tuesday's 137-128 loss to the Grizzlies.

Impact Getting the start with Jusuf Nurkic getting a breather on the second night of a back-to-back, Filipowski delivered his second double-double of the season, while the 25 points tied his season high. The second-year center has been in the starting five for six of 10 games in December, averaging 12.7 points, 7.8 boards, 2.1 assists, 1.1 threes and 1.2 combined steals and blocks in 27.9 minutes on the month while shooting 55.8 percent from the floor.

Kevin Love - Making first start of season Love is in the Jazz's starting lineup against the Grizzlies on Tuesday, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

Kevin Love - Back in action Tuesday Love (rest) will be available for Tuesday's game against the Nuggets.

Impact Love, who was rested Monday against the Nuggets, could see an expanded role Tuesday with Lauri Markkanen and Jusuf Nurkic both sidelined for maintenance purposes. In Love's most recent game, he produced 16 points (6-12 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 0-1 FT), 16 rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal in 32 minutes during Saturday's 128-127 overtime loss to the Magic.

3 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Jusuf Nurkic - Resting Tuesday Nurkic is out for Tuesday's game against the Grizzlies for rest purposes.

Impact The expectation should be that the veteran big man will return to the lineup Friday against the Pistons, which is notably the first half of a back-to-back. Kyle Filipowski should handle the lion's share of the center minutes, with Kevin Love backing him up.

3 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Lauri Markkanen - Won't play Tuesday Markkanen (groin) won't play Tuesday against the Grizzlies.

Impact Tuesday's game is the second leg of a back-to-back set, and Markkanen is being held out for right groin injury management. In other words, he's being held out for rest. This was a common occurrence in 2024-25, and it's a reason for his fantasy managers to be nervous.

3 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Jusuf Nurkic - Strong line in loss Nurkic notched 17 points (6-10 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 3-5 FT), 14 rebounds and six assists across 35 minutes during Monday's 135-112 loss to the Nuggets.

Impact Nurkic put up a very strong performance against his former teammate in Nikola Jokic. Apart from some woeful free-throw shooting this season (49.3 percent), Nurkic has put together some decent stats with averages of 8.8 points, 9.6 rebounds, 4.1 assists, 1.4 steals and 0.4 three-pointers in 24.8 minutes per contest.

Brice Sensabaugh - Fares well off bench Sensabaugh produced 14 points (5-12 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT), six rebounds, one assist and one steal over 23 minutes during Monday's 135-112 loss to the Nuggets.

Impact Sensabaugh is slowly trending up for the Jazz, and he's gaining steam as a waiver-wire pickup in fantasy hoops. Over his last five outings, Sensabaugh is seeing 20.9 minutes per contest with 11.2 points, 3.6 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.4 three-pointers on 46.3 percent shooting from the field.
