Blake

Hinson

Filipowski will remain out due to lower back injury management. Oscar Tshiebwe has been the starting center recently, and that’s likely to remain the case on Sunday. Filipowski’s absence also frees up playing time for Blake Hinson, who went off for 30 points in Friday’s win over the Grizzlies.

Hinson got his second start of the season and ended up setting a new career high for scoring. Hinson went undrafted in 2024 out of Pittsburgh, but college career started back in 2018. It has been a long road for Hinson to make his NBA debut, and he has taken advantage of the opportunity. He’s currently on a two-way deal, but he won’t play quite this much next season.

Kyle Filipowski and Brice Sensabaugh are out for Friday’s game, freeing up spots in the starting lineup for Bailey and Hinson. The other change to the lineup is Chandler, who starts with Bez Mbeng coming off the bench.

Filipowski will miss Friday’s game for injury management reasons. Oscar Tshiebwe has started alongside Filipowski in the last two games, and his role should expand on Friday. Also, Blake Hinson is a potential replacement in the starting five.

Due to the many absences from the Jazz lineup, Hinson was inserted into the rotation on Wednesday. While the overall line was lean, the undrafted rookie provided solid value in points, three-pointers and percentages. As a two-way contract player, Hinson is not guaranteed to be active every game, so there’s no need to consider adding him in the aftermath of Wednesday’s performance.

Announced as questionable for Monday’s game due to a sore right shoulder earlier in the day, Williams is now doubtful. If he sits, Blake Hinson could enter the rotation after picking up a DNP-CD in Saturday’s loss to the 76ers. Also, John Konchar could move into the starting lineup after playing 25 minutes the last time out. Fantasy managers should not consider streaming Hinson, but Konchar would be worth a look for deep-league managers in need of steals.

The Jazz have made one change to their starting lineup for Monday’s game, with Harkless replacing Blake Hinson. Given the defensive energy that he brings to the table, it would be unsurprising if Harkless were given the task of defending Jamal Murray.

George is back in the lineup after missing six games with a sprained right ankle, pushing Isaiah Collier to the bench. The other change to the lineup is Hinson, who replaces John Konchar in the starting five.

Waived by the Lakers on Sunday, Hinson will reportedly head north for training camp. According to multiple reports, the Warriors don’t intend to fill their 15th roster spot, so Hinson is likely headed to Santa Cruz to play for the team’s G League affiliate.

Undrafted after completing his college career at Pittsburgh, Hinson agreed to a two-way contract in late June. However, with the Lakers reportedly working to sign Christian Koloko to a two-way, freeing up a slot was needed. Hinson is the odd man out, and there’s a feeling that the combination of size and perimeter shooting ability will get him a look elsewhere.
