Sensabaugh

Sensabaugh is back after sitting out Friday’s blowout win over the Grizzlies. He’s capable of putting up big numbers, but the Jazz may look to limit the wing’s minutes to protect their draft lottery odds. The Jazz and Kings go into Sunday with matching 22-59 records, tied for fourth-worst in the league. Sacramento visits Portland, which secures the No. 8 seed with a victory.

With Sensabaugh out, the Jazz will have to account for the absence of the production that he brings offensively. John Konchar, who played 38 minutes in Tuesday’s loss to the Pelicans, may move into the starting lineup, where he can provide solid steals value.

Sensabaugh was one of the bright spots for the Jazz in what was otherwise a mess of a game for Utah. He hit six three-pointers. The 22-year-old small forward’s point total was a game-high. Sensabaugh has now scored at least 26 points in three of his last five games. The Jazz have three games in the final week of the regular season, starting with a matchup against the Pelicans on Tuesday.

Sensabaugh tallied a second straight 20-point game on Friday — three-point shooting played a role, as did free-throw shooting and two-point scoring. But also for a second straight game, the former Ohio State Buckeye struggled with ball protection. Turnovers aside, Sensabaugh has made fantasy impact throughout the season. With four games left in the regular season, Sensabaugh should continue to function as one of Utah’s best offensive options.

Sensabaugh was one of the bright spots for the Jazz in their loss to the Nuggets. He was both aggressive and efficient as a scorer, especially from the three-point line, which led to most of his scoring production on Wednesday. His assist-to-turnover pro was even, he collected a couple of stocks, and contributed fairly well on the glass over his 33 minutes. Sensabaugh averaged over 20 points per game in March and is beginning in April by picking up where he left off.

Limited to 13 points in Friday’s loss to the Nuggets, Sensabaugh doubled that number on Saturday. While he didn’t offer a great deal beyond the points and field-goal percentage, the third-year Jazz forward shot 9-of-16 from inside the arc. Utah plays four games in Week 23, and Sensabaugh can step up for deep-league managers as he continues to start.

Filipowski and Sensabaugh are back after sitting out Wednesday’s loss to the Wizards. Their returns push Bez Mbeng and John Konchar to the bench, limiting both players’ fantasy value.

Sensabaugh is available after sitting out Wednesday’s loss to the Wizards. Even though he comes off the bench, Sensabaugh is in a position where he needs to be rostered in 14-team leagues and some 12-team formats as well.

Sensabaugh scored 24 points off the bench on Monday, but he will be back on the sidelines against Washington, a game which happens to be pivotal in the tank race. John Konchar should take on extra minutes with Sensabaugh unavailable.

While Sensabaugh’s final points tally was solid, he could have been better. The Jazz wing made just one of his nine attempts from beyond the arc, and he was also responsible for six of the team’s 15 turnovers. However, even with the inefficient Monday night, Sensabaugh has been a sixth-round player since March 1. Given Utah’s priority for the rest of the season, he is worth picking up, especially with the Jazz having three more games in Week 22 and four in Week 23.
