Kyle Filipowski

Markkanen will miss a fifth straight game, with Thursday's absence due to return to competition conditioning. As for Clarkson, he will miss a second straight contest after logging 23 minutes on Sunday. Fantasy managers should be all-in on Isaiah Collier, Kyle Filipowski and Brice Sensabaugh, as they're guaranteed to play as long as they're healthy.

Markkanen will remain out with an illness as the Jazz look to increase their chances of winning this spring's draft lottery. Even if he comes off the bench, fantasy managers should roster Kyle Filipowski for the rest of the season. The rookie started alongside Walker Kessler on Sunday, which boosts his fantasy value.

Filipowski has started three of Utah's last six games, and as one would expect, he's been more productive when given those opportunities. The rookie has recorded two double-doubles during this stretch. While his lack of defensive production limits his ceiling, Filipowski is worth the risk due to Lauri Markkanen's questionable availability. The negative heading into Week 21 is Utah's schedule. The Jazz play three games and are inactive for the final two days of the week.

Filipowski has been coming off the bench but has bumped Svi Mykahiliuk out of the starting lineup ahead of Sunday's game. The versatile forward's fantasy ceiling has been raised, but it'll drop again once Lauri Markkanen is back in the mix.

After missing two games for personal reasons, Markkanen's absence on Sunday will be due to an illness. While Cody Williams may remain in the starting lineup, Brice Sensabaugh offers significantly higher fantasy upside, especially on the offensive end of the floor. Kyle Filipowski is also worth adding, even if he continues to come off the bench.
