Jazz's Kelly Olynyk: Upgraded to probable
Olynyk (shoulder) has been upgraded to probable for Friday's game against the Clippers, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
Olynyk was initially deemed questionable for Friday's matchup, but he seems to be trending in the right direction ahead of tipoff. He fully practiced Thursday, so it wouldn't be surprising to see him return from a two-game absence caused by a right shoulder strain. Over four appearances before his absence, Olynyk averaged 7.5 points, 4.0 rebounds and 3.0 assists in 18.8 minutes per game.

Jazz's Jordan Clarkson: Upgraded to probable
Clarkson (thigh) has been upgraded to probable for Friday's matchup versus the Clippers, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
Clarkson was initially listed as questionable after missing the previous three games, but he's now trending toward suiting up Friday. Given his multi-game absence, Clarkson may be subject to a minute restriction if he's cleared to play, but his presence would certainly mean fewer minutes for Collin Sexton, Kris Dunn and Talen Horton-Tucker.

Jazz's Kelly Olynyk: Upgraded to questionable
Olynyk (shoulder) has been upgraded to questionable ahead of Friday's game against the Clippers, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
Olynyk was a full participant in Thursday's practice, so the upgrade to questionable is not really surprising. All signs point to the big man being available Friday against the Clippers, though he's not a must-roster player in fantasy due to the nature of his bench role.

Jazz's Jordan Clarkson: Questionable for Friday
Clarkson (thigh) is questionable for Friday's game against the Clippers, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
Clarkson has missed the past three games for Utah, but he was able to practice in full Thursday. The Jazz likely want to see how his body responds before updating his status further. Clarkson has been a key part of Utah's offense this season with averages of 17.8 points and 4.9 assists per game.

Jazz's Lauri Markkanen: Won't play Friday
Markkanen (hamstring) will not play in Friday's game against the Clippers, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
Markkanen will miss his seventh game in a row Friday. However, he is getting closer to a return, as he was a full participant at Thursday's practice. This means there is a decent chance Markkanen could be back for Monday's game against the Thunder.

Jazz's Kris Dunn: Gets rotation spot in return
Dunn (personal) played 17 minutes off the bench and recorded eight points (3-8 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds and two assists in the Jazz's 147-97 loss to the Mavericks on Wednesday.
Dunn wasn't available for any of Utah's previous three games while tending to a personal matter, and he didn't get off the bench in a coach's decision in the contest prior to his absence Nov. 27 versus the Pelicans. Though Dunn took back a rotation spot Wednesday in his return to the team, the Jazz were without Jordan Clarkson (thigh), Lauri Markkanen (hamstring) and Kelly Olynyk (shoulder). Once the Jazz get at least two of those players back, Dunn could find himself outside of head coach Will Hardy's rotation.

Jazz's Kelly Olynyk: Full practice participant
Olynyk (shoulder) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
Olynyk has missed Utah's last two contests due to a right shoulder strain. However, his return to practice is a good sign of his availability for Friday's matchup with the Clippers.

Jazz's Lauri Markkanen: Fully practices Thursday
Markkanen (hamstring) was a full participant in Thursday's practice session, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
Markkanen has missed the last six games due to a strained left hamstring, but he appears to be trending toward a return in the near future. It's not yet clear whether he'll be available for Friday's game against the Clippers, but it wouldn't be surprising to see him back in game action soon.

Jazz's Jordan Clarkson: Returns to practice
Clarkson (thigh) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
Clarkson has missed Utah's previous three contests with a thigh contusion. However, his return to practice is a good sign of his availability for Friday's matchup with the Clippers.

Jazz's Simone Fontecchio: Scores seven in defeat
Fontecchio registered seven points (2-5 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, three assists and one block in 24 minutes during Wednesday's 147-97 loss to the Mavericks.
Fontecchio was held below 10 points for a second consecutive matchup Wednesday, but he played just 24 minutes in the blowout loss, his lowest mark since joining the starting lineup in late November. Even though he's had a slight decrease in scoring over his last two outings, the 27-year-old has averaged 11.0 points, 3.8 rebounds and 3.2 assists in 28.7 minutes per game over his six appearances since taking on a starting role.

Jazz's Walker Kessler: Secures eight rebounds
Kessler recorded six points (3-7 FG), eight rebounds and one steal across 27 minutes during Wednesday's 147-97 loss to the Mavericks.
Kessler came off the bench for a sixth consecutive game Wednesday and was held to a single-digit scoring total for the third time in his last four appearances, but he remained consistent on the boards. Despite operating as a reserve since returning from a seven-game absence, Kessler has been more productive than he was as a starter, as he's averaged 9.8 points and 8.0 rebounds in 25.7 minutes per game over his last six appearances.

Jazz's John Collins: Approaches double-double in loss
Collins closed with 10 points (5-11 FG, 0-2 3Pt) and eight rebounds over 23 minutes during Wednesday's 147-97 loss to the Mavericks.
Collins was held to a season-low 23 minutes of playing time during Wednesday's blowout loss, and he fell just short of the double-double mark again. He's been held without a double-double in six consecutive appearances but has still been relatively productive during that time, averaging 12.8 points and 7.5 rebounds in 27.8 minutes per game. The 26-year-old can put things together in any given game, but he's been held below 30 minutes of playing time in five of his last six outings. It's unclear whether this slight downturn in minutes will continue, but Collins still has decent upside potential when he has enough time on the court.

Jazz's Keyonte George: Dishes out 11 dimes
George notched seven points (2-11 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds, 11 assists and one block in 32 minutes during Wednesday's 147-97 loss to the Mavericks.
While George matched his season-high mark of 11 assists during Wednesday's blowout loss, he was inefficient from the floor and fell short of the first double-double of his career. The rookie has now posted 11 assists on three occasions to begin the regular season, but he's shot just 17.1 percent from the floor over those three appearances. While these performances have helped him establish a solid fantasy floor since joining the starting lineup, he'll be able to generate more upside if he can put things together more consistently.

Jazz's Kris Dunn: Set to play Wednesday
Dunn (personal) is not on the injury report in advance of Wednesday's game against Dallas.
Dunn has missed three consecutive games due to a personal matter, but he appears set to return Wednesday. After delivering 13.2 points in 25.8 minutes per game across 22 appearances down the stretch last season for Utah, Dunn has been reduced to a third-string role in 2023-24, averaging just 10.3 minutes across 13 appearances.
