Isaiah

Collier

Collier has been mostly healthy this season, but he’ll sit out against Milwaukee while dealing with left hamstring soreness. In Collier’s absence, EJ Harkless could enjoy more playing time since Keyonte George (hamstring) is also sidelined.

In the three games he’s started since the Jazz lost Keyonte George to a strained hamstring, Collier has totaled 18 assists and nine turnovers. Five of those turnovers were committed in Wednesday’s blowout defeat, but many fantasy managers will take the overall production. Rostered in 44 percent of Yahoo! leagues, Collier has provided eighth-round value in eight-cat formats since the All-Star break.

Collier’s assist tally may not have been as robust as many fantasy managers hoped, with him starting for the injured Keyonte George. Still, he did record his second 20-point game in four appearances. Since the All-Star break, the second-year point guard has provided eighth-round value in eight-cat formats. With George not being re-evaluated until the final week of March, now is a good time to go all-in on Collier.

This update has George being re-evaluated around March 25. He injured his hamstring on Wednesday and had already been ruled out for Friday’s game, but now he will be out significantly longer, and his season certainly has a chance to be over. Isaiah Collier should start in his place and be a fantasy stud.

George strained his right hamstring during Wednesday’s loss to the Knicks and will be out for at least one game, with the Jazz yet to announce a return timeline. Isaiah Collier will serve as the starting point guard and should be slotted into fantasy lineups where available.

George appeared to pull his right hamstring while attempting to challenge a Knicks shot attempt early in the third quarter, reaching back for the area almost immediately. The Jazz point guard immediately departed for the locker room and has not returned. With George appearing likely to miss time, Isaiah Collier is a must-add where available. And EJ Harkless will be worth a look in deep leagues.

George is one of the Jazz players who has been dealing with an illness, most recently playing 24 minutes in Monday’s win over the Warriors. His availability means that Isaiah Collier will come off the bench, but he remains a player who should be rostered this time of year.

Collier will be back in action after sitting out Monday’s win over the Warriors. With Keyonte George (illness) questionable, Collier could be thrust into the starting lineup against the Knicks. George’s availability also affects EJ Harkless, who served as the backup point guard on Monday.

An illness has affected multiple Jazz players recently, and George was limited to 24 minutes in Monday’s win over the Warriors. If he’s unable to play, Isaiah Collier (illness) would be the replacement in the starting lineup. Collier, who did not play on Monday, has been removed from the injury report.

Keyonte George is also dealing with an illness, and he’s listed as questionable. Utah’s backcourt is sorely undermanned, and EJ Harkless could be the next man up to absorb Collier’s vacated minutes. Cody Williams and Svi Mykhailiuk could also see additional run.
