Lauri Markkanen (illness) is out for Sunday's game against the Thunder.Initially questionable for Sunday's game, Markkanen is officially out. His absence opens a spot in the starting lineup and significant usage, given his importance to the Jazz offense. Kyle Filipowski will move into the starting lineup alongside Jusuf Nurkic, raising his fantasy ceiling considerably. Also, look for Brice Sensabaugh and Taylor Hendricks to figure more prominently in the rotation.
Brice Sensabaugh provided a boost off the bench with 20 points (6-of-11 FGs), three rebounds, one steal, one block and two three-pointers on Friday against the Kings.Ace Bailey (knee) exited with a knee injury in the third quarter, which allowed Sensabaugh to see a boost in minutes. Bailey is being considered "day-to-day", and there doesn't appear to be much concern. However, if Bailey ends up missing Sunday's game against the Rockets, Sensabaugh may be given the opportunity to slide into the starting lineup.
Ace Bailey (knee) will not return to Friday's game against the Kings.Bailey has been ruled out for the remainder of this game, which opens the door for minutes on the win. Brice Sensabaugh should fill the void and provide some value from beyond the arc.
