John Collins

Thursday's game is the sixth that Kessler will miss due to hip bursitis. John Collins will remain the starter for the foreseeable future, which has boosted his fantasy value. As for streaming options, deep league managers can consider Kyle Filipowski, while Drew Eubanks is unlikely to get the opportunities needed to impact fantasy basketball.

Davis took an accidental hit to the groin from John Collins during the third quarter, prompting a trip to the locker room. Davis did return to action during the fourth and finished with yet another double-double, but there were some concerned Lakers fans and fantasy managers. Look for Davis on the floor for Thursday's game against the Magic.

Kessler will miss a fifth consecutive game, meaning John Collins stays in the starting lineup. Collins is providing top-50 fantasy value and is already rostered in over 90% of Yahoo leagues. Managers seeking a streamer should consider Kyle Filipowski, who recently replaced Cody Williams in the starting lineup.

Kessler is set to miss a fourth consecutive game on Sunday. The Jazz will likely continue starting John Collins and Kyle Filipowski while the big man is on the mend. Collins has excelled as a starter this season with averages of 24.3 points, 9.0 rebounds, and 3.0 assists across three games.

Collins continues to provide excellent fantasy value, as he's been a 1st-round player over the last two weeks in 9-cat formats. He's flourished with Walker Kessler (hip) out of the lineup and should continue to do so. On Tuesday, Collins and the Jazz begin their Week 5 schedule against the Lakers.
