Talen Horton-Tucker - Logs 14 points in OT victory Horton-Tucker recorded 14 points (5-8 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds, four assists and three steals in 21 minutes during Saturday's 118-113 overtime victory over Portland.
Impact Subpar play caused Horton-Tucker to lose his starting gig in early November, and his struggles continued from the bench. HIs 14 points in the OT win snapped a single-digit scoring slump where he averaged only 5.5 points over six games. His good fortune is likely brief, as his production will fall upon Jordan Clarkson's (thigh) return.

Collin Sexton - Logs team-high 25 points from bench Sexton totaled 25 points (9-13 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 7-7 FT), four rebounds and five assists over 30 minutes during Saturday's 118-113 overtime win over Portland.
Impact Sexton fared much better then Ochai Agbaji during Jordan Clarkson's (thigh) absence, an encouraging sign for the veteran guard. Sexton hasn't played with the first unit since going down with a hamstring injury last season, and Keyonte George's solid play has kept him to the second unit for the duration of the 2023-24 campaign. While he still has value in deeper leagues, Sexton's reserve role caps his potential production.

Omer Yurtseven - Snags 15 rebounds in OT win Yurtseven racked up nine points (4-8 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-1 FT), 15 rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal across 27 minutes during Saturday's 118-113 overtime victory over the...
Impact Yurtseven logged his fifth consecutive start Saturday, boosting his fantasy value while decimating the stock for Walter Kessler. Although Kessler is healthy and has logged significant time off the bench, he has yet to win back his slot in the starting lineup after his seven-game absence. Yurtseven has averaged only 5.6 points per game since taking over, but sublime rebound totals have kept him relevant.

Kelly Olynyk - Won't play Saturday Olynyk (shoulder) has been ruled out for Saturday's game versus Portland, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
Impact Olynyk (shoulder) has been downgraded from questionable to out due to a right shoulder strain. His next chance to suit up is Wednesday's matchup with Dallas.

Kelly Olynyk - Draws questionable tag Olynyk is considered questionable for Saturday's tilt against the Trail Blazers due to a right shoulder strain.
Impact Olynyk has been nursing a shoulder issue recently but playing through it. It remains to be seen if that trend will occur Saturday. Omer Yurtseven and John Collins would be candidates for additional minutes if he ultimately cannot play. However, more clarity is unlikely to come until closer to game time.

Kris Dunn - Out Saturday Dunn (personal) will remain sidelined for Saturday's contest against the Trail Blazers.
Impact Dunn's absence will mark his third straight game missed. With Jordan Clarkson (thigh) also sidelined, the Jazz's backcourt depth will continue to be tested. Collin Sexton and Talen Horton-Tucker are the prime candidates for increased roles. Dunn's next chance to return will come Wednesday against the Mavericks.
3 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE
Lauri Markkanen - Will remain sidelined Markkanen (hamstring) will remain sidelined for Saturday's game against the Trail Blazers.
Impact Markkanen's absence will be his fifth straight game on the sidelines due to a lingering hamstring issue. As a result, Simone Fontecchio will presumably continue starting in his place. The veteran big man's next chance to suit up will come Wednesday against the Mavericks.
3 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE
Jordan Clarkson - Out again Clarkson (thigh) will remain sidelined for Saturday's tilt against the Trail Blazers.
Impact Clarkson's absence will mark his second straight due to a thigh injury that has been holding him back. Ochai Agbaji started in his place Thursday, while Collin Sexton and Talen Horton-Tucker are also candidates to see increased run in his absence. The veteran shooting guard's next chance to suit up will come Wednesday versus the Mavericks.

Collin Sexton - Efficient performance in loss Sexton provided 14 points (4-8 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 5-5 FT), four assists and three rebounds through 23 minutes in a 101-90 loss to the Timberwolves on Thursday.
Impact Over his last four games, Sexton is averaging 12.5 points, 3.3 assists, 2.5 rebounds and 0.8 steals in 22.8 minutes. While the backup point guard aims to improve his efficiency and consistency, Thursday was a step in the right direction. Regardless of his production, Sexton's overall workload appears to remain the same, and he will continue to lead the second unit for the foreseeable future.

Kelly Olynyk - Available to play Thursday Olynyk (shoulder) is available to play Thursday against the Timberwolves, Tony Jones of The Athletic reports.
Impact Olynyk was tabbed as a game-time call for this matchup, and he should provide a boost in the frontcourt against one of the best interior duos in the league in Karl-Anthony Towns and Rudy Gobert. A regular presence off the bench, Olynyk is averaging 7.4 points and 6.0 rebounds per game over his last 10 appearances.
