Fantasy Impact: Utah will be without Markkanen as he continues to deal with a shoulder injury. Utah has already been eliminated from postseason contention, so he officially won't take the court again this season. He's still under contract for next season, so fantasy managers can expect more of the same from him for the foreseeable future.

Fantasy Impact: Sexton will officially be questionable for Sunday's game. This comes as a bit of a surprise, as Utah has already ruled out several of their starters for this game. It remains to be seen if that will be the case or not, but fantasy managers can expect Talen Horton-Tucker and Johnny Juzang to see more minutes if Sexton is sidelined against Golden State.

Fantasy Impact: The big man will be out for yet another game on Sunday. He hasn't played in over a week because of his nose injury, and we officially won't see him take the court until next season with Utah already eliminated from the postseason race. Omer Yurtseven may see more minutes while he's out.

Fantasy Impact: Dunn won't play on Sunday because of a foot injury. He doesn't have much incentive to, as Utah has already been ruled out of the postseason. Talen Horton-Tucker will continue to see more work in his absence.

Fantasy Impact: Utah is out of the playoff race in the West, so they're just resting all of their starters in order to prevent any unnecessary injuries from happening. Kenneth Lofton Jr. is coming off of the heels of a 27-point outing and may continue to dominate in his increased work with Collins out.

Jordan Clarkson (back) out Sunday

Fantasy Impact: As expected, Clarkson is going to miss Utah's regular season finale against the Warriors. They won't be heading to the postseason, so the team is sitting most of their veterans to prevent any injuries. Clarkson is still under contract for Utah after signing an extension last offseason, so fantasy managers should be looking forward to him returning to the court at full health next season.

Kenneth Lofton Jr. scored 14 points (5-7 FG, 2-3 3PT, 2-4 FT) to go along with nine rebounds, five assists, two steals and one block in the 124-121 win for Utah over the Rockets.

Fantasy Impact: Lofton signed a three-year, non-guaranteed deal with the Jazz last month. He recorded season-highs in minutes, points and rebounds off the bench for Utah. He could be worth a look as a streamer in deeper leagues in the final two games of the regular season.

Keyonte George scored 20 points (7-14 FG, 2-6 3PT, 4-5 FT) to go along with four rebounds, five assists and two steals in the 124-121 win for Utah over the Rockets.

Fantasy Impact: George did commit five turnovers, but it was otherwise a solid night for him. He was one of two players to exceed 30 minutes on the court in the win, and should remain in a big role during the final two games of the season.

Talen Horton-Tucker scored 24 points (10-23 FG, 4-8 3PT) to go along with three rebounds, two assists, one steal and one block in the 111-95 loss for the Jazz against Denver.

Fantasy Impact: Despite coming off the bench, Horton-Tucker scored a team-high in points for Utah. He likely remains off the fantasy radar the rest of this year, though he could hold some streaming appeal if Collin Sexton remains sidelined.

Omer Yurtseven scored 20 points (9-14 FG, 0-1 3PT, 2-2 FT) to go along with 11 rebounds, two assists and two steals in the 111-95 loss for the Jazz against Denver.

Fantasy Impact: Yurtseven posted a season-high in points to go along with his first double-double of the year in the start against the Nuggets. He holds some streaming appeal in deeper leagues the rest of the season.

Johnny Juzang scored 27 points (9-12 FG, 7-8 3PT, 2-3 FT) to go along with two rebounds, one assist and one steal in the 118-110 loss for Utah against the Warriors.

Fantasy Impact: Juzang dropped a career-high in scoring across 33 minutes off the bench. He should continue to see plenty of opportunity the rest of the season.

Fantasy Impact: Hendricks was able to log a full practice on Wednesday, giving him a chance to return on Friday. If he does, he could start with Lauri Markkanen ruled out. Otherwise, Brice Sensabaugh could see another spot start.

Brice Sensabaugh scored 15 points (5-8 FG, 2-4 3PT, 3-3 FT) to go along with 12 rebounds and one assist in the 119-117 loss for the Jazz against the Bulls.

Fantasy Impact: Sensabaugh saw his first career start with Utah down multiple players in the front court, setting career-highs across the board in minutes, points and rebounds. He should remain a solid streaming option as long as he remains in the starting lineup.

The Utah Jazz are finalizing a trade to send Kelly Olynyk and Ochai Agbaji to the Toronto Raptors for Kira Lewis, Otto Porter and a 2024 first-round pick. (Source: Adrian Wojnarowski on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Agbaji had a limited role as part of a crowded back court in Utah. The second year player out of Kansas now joins another pretty crowded back court in Toronto. He will likely remain off the fantasy radar as a result.

Fantasy Impact: Olynyk has had some big games this season in spot starts with the Jazz. He'll likely backup Jakob Poeltl in Toronto to help improve the front court with the second unit for the Raptors.

The Pistons traded Kevin Knox, 2024 second-round pick via Wizards and draft rights to Gabriele Procida to the Jazz in exchange for Simone Fontecchio. (Source: Adrian Wojnarowski on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Fontecchio has taken on an expanded role in the starting lineup for Utah as of late. With his departure, Ochai Agbaji and Talen Horton-Tucker should see their roles take a step forward for Utah. Meanwhile, Fontecchio should remain in a fairly significant role with the Pistons.
