Andersson

Garcia

Sensabaugh will miss a second straight game as he continues to recover from an illness. Not only did Andersson Garcia move into the starting lineup for Thursday’s win over the Bucks, but he also played all 48 minutes. While that workload may not happen again, deep-league managers should consider streaming Garcia.

As Garcia’s 10-day contract comes to an end, the Jazz made sure to get the most out of him. He played all 48 minutes in his second start and matched his career high for boards, which he set in his previous start. Garcia stepped into big minutes immediately with Utah, and he has been a decent source of rebounds and assists. If they keep him around, he is worth a look in deeper leagues.

The Jazz won’t have Isaiah Collier or Brice Sensabaugh for Thursday’s game, opening two spots in the starting lineup. Harkless will run the point, and with Keyonte George also out, he’s worth streaming for Thursday’s action. The other replacement is Garcia, who is not worth the risk in most fantasy leagues.

Utah is unsurprisingly dealing with multiple absences across the roster, and Ace Bailey should be the next man up with Sensabaugh sidelined and Konchar not expected to play. Andersson Garcia should see extra run, too.

Bailey and Filipowski are back in the Jazz starting lineup, the former returning after a three-game absence due to concussion protocols. As a result, EJ Harkless and Andersson Garcia will come off the bench.

Filipowski got the night off against the Kings on Sunday, but he will be back to take on Minnesota. That could be the case against other tanking teams moving forward, but the Timberwolves don’t fit that mold. Filipowski should start, which will push Andersson Garcia to the bench.

The Jazz are without Ace Bailey and Kyle Filipowski, the former having entered concussion protocol and the latter not playing for rest reasons. They’ve been replaced in the lineup by Harkless and Garcia, with the former offering a higher short-term fantasy ceiling.

Filipowski will get Sunday night off, leaving the Jazz even more shorthanded in the frontcourt. His absence frees up minutes for Oscar Tshiebwe and Andersson Garcia, with the former being the more likely option to move into the starting lineup.
