Jazz's John Konchar: Strong defensive line
RotowireKonchar ended with six points (2-7 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-3 FT), seven rebounds, three assists, two blocks and three steals across 25 minutes during Thursday's 135-119 loss to the Trail Blazers.
Konchar is not a scorer, but his ability to generate rebounds, assists and defensive stats can make him appealing in category formats. There are a lot of minutes up for grabs in Utah due to Jaren Jackson's injury and the constant maintenance of key players, making Konchar a player to monitor.

RotowireHinson recorded 11 points (4-7 FG, 3-6 3Pt), one rebound and one assist over 25 minutes during Thursday's 135-119 loss to the Trail Blazers.
Hinson, who was recently signed to a two-way contract, put together an impressive shift in the frontcourt for Utah. Player development will be a focus down the stretch, and with Jaren Jackson (knee) likely done for the season, Hinson may get more opportunities.
... See More... See LessJazz's Svi Mykhailiuk: Pops for 14 off bench
RotowireMykhailiuk produced 14 points (5-8 FG, 4-5 3Pt), one rebound, three assists and one steal over 17 minutes off the bench during Thursday's 135-119 loss to Portland.
The journeyman guard is on his eighth team in eight NBA seasons, and Mykhailiuk appears to be barely hanging onto a spot in theJazz rotation after being a consistent presence in the starting five through the end of January. He hasn't come off the bench at all in the prior three games, but the 28-year-old has been productive when called upon, scoring at least 14 points in each of his last three appearances while going 10-for-15 from three-point range. His role will be very much in question once play resumes after the All-Star break.
... See More... See LessJazz's Isaiah Collier: Productive in Thursday's start
RotowireCollier contributed 15 points (3-8 FG, 9-12 FT), two rebounds, nine assists and three steals in 36 minutes before fouling out of Thursday's 135-119 loss to the Trail Blazers.
Making his third straight start and sixth in seven February games while Keyonte George (ankle) remains sidelined, Collier just missed picking up his 10th double-double of the season. Four of those nine double-doubles have come this month, and he's averaging 17.3 points, 11.7 assists, 3.4 boards and 2.3 steals in February. TheJazz haven't been rushing George back into the lineup as they try to stay near the bottom of the standings, and the top of the lottery, so Collier's role won't necessarily shrink on the other side of the All-Star break.
... See More... See LessJazz's Kyle Filipowski: Falls short of double-double
RotowireFilipowski finished Thursday's 135-119 loss to the Trail Blazers with 15 points (6-9 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-4 FT), nine rebounds, three assists and six steals in 30 minutes.
Getting his third start in seven February contests, Filipowski just missed recording his fourth double-double of the month while setting a new career high in steals. With theJazz trying to balance tanking for the top of the lottery against the league's load management rules, the second-year big man is likely to continue seeing his court time and role fluctuate wildly on the other side of the All-Star break. In those three February starts, Filipowski is averaging 15.3 points, 14.0 boards, 3.0 assists, 3.0 steals and 1.3 threes in 31.3 minutes.
... See More... See LessJazz's Brice Sensabaugh: Pours in 28 in loss to Blazers
RotowireSensabaugh totaled 28 points (8-19 FG, 5-11 3Pt, 7-9 FT) and four rebounds over 36 minutes during Thursday's 135-119 loss to Portland.
The 28 points led theJazz on the night. Sensabaugh was making his first start since Jan. 10 as Utah continues to juggle its lineup to facilitate tanking for the top of the lottery without running afoul of the league's load management rules, a tightrope the team hasn't always managed to walk successfully of late. Sensabaugh scored in double digits in nine of the last 11 games heading into the All-Star break, averaging 16.6 points, 2.7 boards, 2.6 threes, and 1.6 assists in 25.8 minutes over that stretch.
... See More... See LessJazz's Oscar Tshiebwe: Won't return Thursday
RotowireTshiebwe won't return to Thursday's game against Portland after being placed in concussion protocol.
Tshiebwe went to the locker room during the first half to receive stitches, and the team will shut him down for the evening after reporting that he's entered the league's concussion protocol. He'll have over a week to recover, as theJazz won't take the court again until after the All-Star break.
... See More... See LessJazz's Oscar Tshiebwe: Suffers laceration above eye
RotowireTshiebwe suffered a laceration that required stitches above his eye and is questionable to return to Thursday's game against Portland.
Tshiebwe went to the locker room during the first half, and the team has since reported that he's receiving stitches. John Konchar and Blake Hinson could pick up a few extra minutes in the second half if Tshiebwe is unable to return.
... See More... See LessJazz's Vince Williams: Tossed vs. Blazers
RotowireWilliams was ejected from Thursday's game against Portland after being assessed two technical fouls, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports. He'll end the night with six points (3-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and three rebounds in seven minutes.
Williams was quickly assessed a pair of technical fouls after he disagreed with a call. Svi Mykhailiuk and John Konchar could pick up additional playing time the rest of the way Thursday in Williams' absence.
... See More... See LessJazz's Jusuf Nurkic: Won't start Thursday
RotowireNurkic isn't in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Trail Blazers.
Nurkic will be available for Thursday's matchup, but the fact that he's not listed in the starting lineup is likely a sign that he won't see much if any playing time. Instead, it'll be up to Kyle Filipowski and Kevin Love to eat up minutes at center.
... See More... See LessJazz's Kyle Filipowski: Running with first unit
RotowireFilipowski is starting Thursday's game against the Trail Blazers.
Filipowski is back in the starting lineup after coming off the bench in three straight games. It looks like it could be another night in which Jusuf Nurkic is available off the bench but won't play, meaning there could be plenty of chances for Filipowski to make an impact.
... See More... See LessJazz's Cody Williams: Joining starting five
RotowireWilliams is starting Thursday's game against Portland.
Williams will step into the starting lineup with theJazz missing the majority of their first unit Thursday night. He's averaging 9.0 points, 3.4 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.0 blocks in his last seven showings as a starter.
... See More... See LessJazz's Brice Sensabaugh: Stepping into starting five
RotowireSensabaugh is starting Thursday's game against the Trail Blazers.
Sensabaugh is in line for his first start since Jan. 10 as theJazz will be without Lauri Markkanen (rest), Keyonte George (ankle) and Jaren Jackson (knee). Sensabaugh took full advantage of his chances Wednesday night and should see ample chances again Thursday.

CBS Sports Scott ErskineJazz's Ace Bailey: Continues to ascend
RotowireBailey provided 13 points (5-9 FG, 3-6 3Pt), four rebounds and four assists over 31 minutes during Wednesday's 121-93 victory over Sacramento.
After a rough start to his career, the first-year forward is starting to showcase the potential that made him the No. 5 overall pick in this past year's draft. Over his last 12 appearances, Bailey has averaged 15.8 points, 4.9 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.6 three-pointers in 32.6 minutes per contest.
... See More... See LessJazz's Jusuf Nurkic: Productive ways continue
RotowireNurkic finished with eight points (4-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt), nine rebounds, four assists and one steal in 26 minutes during Wednesday's 121-93 victory over Sacramento.
Utah's intentions when it comes to how much Nurkic will play down the stretch remain unclear, but what's certain is that the veteran center is producing at a high level when available. Nurkic has averaged 14.7 points, 11.8 rebounds, 5.9 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.1 three-pointers in 29.4 minutes per contest in his last 16 games, shooting 47.2 percent from long range during this period.
... See More... See LessJazz's Cody Williams: Stable source of steals
RotowireWilliams amassed nine points (4-6 FG, 1-2 3Pt), five rebounds, two assists and three steals across 25 minutes during Wednesday's 121-93 victory over Sacramento.
Williams is carving out a steady role for himself, but his style of play isn't translating into much fantasy relevance on the whole. The forward has averaged 7.4 points, 3.2 rebounds and 1.4 steals in 26.4 minutes per contest in his last 10 games, so his appeal is very limited outside of swipes.
