Jordan Clarkson - Questionable Saturday Clarkson (finger) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Hornets.

Impact Clarkson has missed the last two matchups due to a sprained finger, and his status for Saturday's game is up in the air. If the 30-year-old misses a third consecutive game, Ochai Agbaji will likely remain in the starting lineup.

Wendell Carter Jr. - Will be back in action Saturday Carter (hip) is not on the injury report ahead of Saturday's game against the Heat.

Impact The Magic's starting center will return following a three-game absence, so Moritz Wagner will presumably head back to the bench. Over Carter's past 10 appearances, he's averaged 15.0 points, 8.9 rebounds and 1.8 assists in 28.0 minutes.

Walker Kessler - Double-doubles in return Kessler (illness) ended with 13 points (5-5 FG, 3-3 FT), 10 rebounds, three assists and three blocks across 32 minutes during Thursday's 131-124 victory over the Magic.

Impact Kessler returned from a one-game absence due to a non-COVID illness and picked up right where he left off. He's posted five double-doubles over his past seven appearances and is averaging 10.9 points, 12.9 rebounds and 4.1 blocks in 31.3 minutes during that stretch.

Ochai Agbaji - Scores 14 points in win Agbaji had 14 points (5-10 FG, 4-8 3Pt), two rebounds and one block over 31 minutes during Thursday's 131-124 victory over the Magic.

Impact With Jordan Clarkson (finger) and Collin Sexton (hamstring) sidelined, Agbaji has drawn five straight starts and is averaging 10.2 points, 1.6 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 1.2 steals-plus-blocks in 27.0 minutes per game. It's been an underwhelming rookie campaign for the lottery pick, but it's nice to see him playing well in an expanded role during the stretch run.

Kris Dunn - Near double-double off bench Dunn supplied 12 points (5-9 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds, four assists, three steals and one block across 23 minutes during Thursday's 131-124 victory over Orlando.

Impact Dunn, who's operating on a second 10-day deal, continues to impress with Utah. He's scored in double figures in each of his seven appearances and is averaging 12.6 points, 4.9 rebounds, 4.2 assists and 1.9 steals in 23.3 minutes during that stretch. He's certainly playing well enough to garner a rest-of-season contract, but his usage is presumably tied to the availability of Jordan Clarkson (finger) and Collin Sexton (hamstring).

MARCH 10, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Simone Fontecchio - Scores career-high 17 points Fontecchio posted 17 points (5-7 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 6-6 FT), three steals, two rebounds and two assists in 22 minutes during Thursday's 131-124 win over the Magic.

Impact Fontecchio played at least 20 minutes for the fourth time over Utah's past five games and notched career highs in points and steals. When the undrafted rookie out of Italy sees at least 20 minutes (nine games), he's averaged 9.9 points, 2.0 rebounds and 1.6 assists with 41/36/77 shooting splits.
