Collin Sexton

Clarkson's appearance on the injury report is concerning, as he missed two games earlier this season due to a similar injury. If he cannot play on Thursday, fellow reserves Isaiah Collier and Johnny Juzang may absorb some of the available minutes, and starter Collin Sexton can also take some. Neither Collier nor Juzang needs to be rostered in most leagues.

Despite being ranked outside the top 150 in 9-cat formats, Sexton remains rostered in over 80% of Yahoo leagues. He'll figure prominently in the Jazz offensive attack as a starter, so there isn't too much risk in rostering Sexton. The issue is the lack of defensive production; punt steals and blocks, and Sexton is an 11th-round player. He's never been known as a lockdown defender, so there's no reason for fantasy managers to expect this to change anytime soon.

Sexton has reached double figures in every game this season except one, an October 29 loss to the Kings. While he remains ranked well outside the top 150 in 9-cat per-game value, the Young Bull's status as a starter keeps his rostered percentage (86%) so high. Keep an eye on Sexton because there may be opportunities to "buy low" due to his slow start.

The Jazz have only made one change to their starting lineup, with Filipowski replacing fellow rookie Cody Williams. Filipowski is coming off his most productive game of the season, scoring 18 points in Tuesday's loss to the Suns. Williams will remain in the rotation, but the demotion lowers his fantasy upside.

The Jazz have made two changes to their lineup for Tuesday's game. George's return means Isaiah Collier will come off the bench, and there's no need to roster Collier in redraft leagues. The other change is Collins, who will start for the injured Walker Kessler (right hip soreness). Pick him up if Collins is on the waiver wire in your league.
