Keyonte George - Nets 31 points with six dimes George provided 31 points (10-19 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 7-9 FT), five rebounds, six assists and one block in 36 minutes during Friday's 128-119 win over the Kings.

Impact George has been lighting it up over the past five games, churning out averages of 28.0 points on 53.3 percent shooting from the field and 80 percent at the stripe, to go with 4.6 rebounds, 7.4 assists, 3.6 triples and 1.2 steals per game. It'll be interesting to see if he can keep the hot streak going Sunday with a tough matchup against the Rockets.

Jusuf Nurkic - Hands out nine dimes in win Nurkic amassed nine points (4-8 FG, 1-2 FT), 11 rebounds, nine assists and three steals over 27 minutes during Friday's 128-119 win over the Kings.

Impact While Nurkic has been doing a decent job operating as a playmaker and glass eater in Utah this season, he's also been struggling to impact other areas of the stat sheet, and he's been averaging a career-low 0.4 blocks per game. He's also committing a career-high 2.8 turnovers a night, to go with a career-worst free-throw percentage of 57.5 percent. Nurkic isn't worth the headache in standard fantasy leagues.

Lauri Markkanen - Nets 28 points on 23 shots Markkanen provided 28 points (9-23 FG, 2-13 3Pt, 8-8 FT), seven rebounds and two assists over 39 minutes during Friday's 128-119 win over the Kings.

Impact This was the second game in a row that Markkanen failed to deliver any defensive statistics, and his second straight game shooting under 40 percent from the field. He's gone 15-for-42 from the floor over this two-game stretch, and he could have a tough time snapping out of this funk Sunday with a tough matchup against Houston.

Ace Bailey - Won't return Friday Bailey won't return to Friday's game against the Kings due to a right knee contusion.

Impact Bailey was limited to 17 minutes Friday and posted five points (2-5 FG, 1-2 3Pt), four rebounds, two assists and a steal. The rookie has settled in nicely as a starter for the Jazz in recent weeks, and he should be considered questionable to play Sunday against the Rockets until the Jazz release an update on his condition in the coming hours.

Kevin Love - Not listed on report Love (rest) is not on the injury report and will be available for Friday's game against the Kings.

Impact Love missed Monday's game against the Warriors due to rest, but the veteran forward will be available and should handle his regular workload Friday in a battle of struggling teams against the Kings. Love is averaging 5.0 points and 4.4 boards on 13.8 minutes per game this season.

Cody Williams - Assigned to G League Utah assigned Williams to the G League's Salt Lake City Stars on Wednesday.

Impact With Williams falling out of Utah's current rotation once again, this move is designed to get him more live reps. He'll likely bounce back and forth between the two teams moving forward.

Kyle Anderson - Fares well off bench Anderson finished with 12 points (6-7 FG), six rebounds, six assists, one block and one steal over 24 minutes during Monday's 134-117 loss to the Warriors.

Impact Making just his fifth appearance of the season, Anderson put together his strongest performance yet. He's eclipsed 20 minutes in two straight games, and it looks like the Jazz are giving him a real look in the short term due to some injuries. He's worth monitoring closely in deeper formats.

NOVEMBER 25 • ROTOWIRE

Brice Sensabaugh - Notches 16 points in loss Sensabaugh provided 16 points (7-13 FG, 2-5 3Pt), one rebound, one assist, one block and one steal in 19 minutes during Monday's 134-117 loss to the Warriors.

Impact Sensabaugh continues to have low workloads for the Jazz, with this being the fourth straight game with minutes in the teens. While his upside and per-minute production is obvious, he remains mostly a deep-league fantasy asset as long as his role is minimal.

NOVEMBER 25 • ROTOWIRE

Isaiah Collier - Muted effort in loss Collier posted two points (1-4 FG), three rebounds, three assists and two steals in 21 minutes during Monday's 134-117 loss to Golden State.

Impact Collier has been solid since returning to the lineup, so Monday's dud appears to be an outlier. Through nine appearances this season, Collier holds averages of 9.0 points, 5.7 assists, 2.8 rebounds and 0.6 steals in 23.2 minutes per contest.

Ace Bailey - Ties season scoring high Bailey closed Monday's 134-117 loss to the Warriors with 21 points (8-15 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal in 29 minutes.

Impact It's the third time in eight games since moving into the starting five that Bailey has scored at least 20 points, and Monday's output tied his career high. The fifth overall pick in the 2025 Draft is finding his rhythm, averaging 14.4 points, 3.5 boards, 2.3 threes, 1.9 assists and 1.4 steals as a starter while shooting 52.3 percent from the floor.

NOVEMBER 25 • ROTOWIRE

Keyonte George - Big numbers again Monday George notched 28 points (10-17 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 4-7 FT), six rebounds, seven assists and two steals across 38 minutes during Monday's 134-117 loss to the Warriors.

Impact The third-year guard led the Jazz in scoring on the night while scoring at least 20 points for a fifth straight game. Over that surge, George is averaging 28.4 points, 7.4 assists, 4.0 boards, 3.4 threes and 1.8 steals while shooting an eye-popping 49.0 percent from the floor -- a massive improvement for a player who couldn't break 40 percent in either of his first two seasons in the NBA.
