Initially available for Monday's game, Sexton will get the night off instead. Utah will also be without Lauri Markkanen, John Collins, and Jordan Clarkson, meaning fantasy managers will see a lot of the team's younger players. Isaiah Collier is the one who benefits most from Sexton's absence, and the rookie point guard is worth streaming. In addition to having added value on Monday, Collier has the potential to be a "silly season" standout.
Collins is set to miss his eighth straight game and 13th of the last 14 Jazz games. Drew Eubanks started for Collins in the Jazz' last game Friday against the Pelicans and had 17 points and seven rebounds in 25 minutes of action.
Collins (hip) is out for Monday's game against the Jazz, Ben Anderson of KSL News Salt Lake City reports.
This will be a seventh straight absence for JC, and he will have missed 12 of their last 13 games. Micah Potter has started the last three games in his place, but he will be sidelined with an illness, which should allow Kyle Filipowski to slide into the starting lineup.
Potter has been starting recently with both Lauri Markkanen and John Collins sidelined, but now the Jazz will be without all three against the Pelicans. Kyle Filipowski will have a good chance to get the start at power forward in this game.
