NBC SportsWalker Kessler (concussion) is out for Sunday's game against the Hawks.

Kessler will remain out for another game. He's in the league's concussion protocol and has a broken nose. Kyle Filipowski should remain the starting center, which raises his fantasy ceiling. Given the nature of Kessler's injury, it would be surprising if he played again this season, especially with the Jazz prioritizing their draft lottery odds.

NBC SportsJohnny Juzang had 17 points (6-of-18 FGs), three rebounds and five three-pointers against the Pacers on Friday.

Juzang moved into the starting lineup with Walker Kessler (concussion) out Friday. The 24-year-old shooting guard played 36 minutes in the loss to the Pacers. He took plenty of shots, but had just 17 points. Juzang connected on 5-of-12 three-pointers. He was just okay as a streamer in deeper formats, which was to be expected.

NBC SportsIsaiah Collier, Collin Sexton, Brice Sensabaugh, Johnny Juzang and Kyle Filipowski will start Friday's game against the Pacers.

The Jazz are without Walker Kessler (concussion) for Friday's game, and his absence opens up a spot in the starting lineup. Juzang will fill the void, with Filipowski shifting to the center position. The former is worth streaming consideration in deep leagues, while the latter is already rostered in some standard leagues.

NBC SportsWalker Kessler (concussion) has been ruled out against the Pacers on Friday.

Kessler played on Wednesday after missing Utah's two previous games with an illness. However, he is now listed as out due to a nasal fracture that also has him in concussion protocols. With 10 days left in the regular season, it wouldn't be surprising if Kessler didn't suit up again this season. KJ Martin should return to the starting lineup, with Kyle Filipowski sliding over to center.
