Filipowski is available to make his first appearance since November 21 and will likely be used in a reserve role. His fantasy upside is limited in the short term, but there's likely to be a point later in the season when the Jazz look to use him in a more prominent role for evaluation reasons.
Filipowski is trending toward being available for Sunday's game, which would be his first action since November 21. He'll provide added depth off the bench, with Micah Potter being the player most likely to lose out on minutes if the rookie plays.
Filipowski has missed Utah's last seven games. Late last week, the team sent him to their G League affiliate to get in some practice time. If he's cleared to play against the Kings, fantasy managers should not expect too much from Filipowski regarding playing time. Micah Potter has played rotation minutes in the rookie's absence but hasn't done enough to merit being rostered in most leagues.
This will be a fifth straight absence for Clarkson, while this will be the sixth straight for Filipowski. Johnny Juzang, Brice Sensabaugh and Isaiah Collier should continue to see minutes in the teens off the bench, but Will Hardy will likely just end up relying on the starters to play extra minutes.
