George

Two days removed from dropping 36 points in a loss to the Jazz, George put up another 30-piece on Wednesday. The Jazz guard has now scored at least 30 points in 14 games this season, more than double his tally in his first two NBA seasons combined (six). The lone concern for fantasy managers is Utah’s back-to-back, as they visit the Wizards on Thursday. If George sits, look for Isaiah Collier (18 points, five assists, three steals and one blocked shot) to move into the starting lineup.

George put on a show during the fourth quarter, scoring ten straight and 15 of Utah’s final 18 points. It wasn’t enough to get the win, but Monday’s performance was more evidence of how much the point guard has improved in his third season. Due to Utah’s poor record, George may not get many votes for Most Improved Player. However, after two subpar seasons, the conversation about him has shifted dramatically.

George was back in the Jazz lineup on Saturday after a six-game absence. And unsurprisingly, the Jazz guard was limited in how much he could play. George logged 23 minutes, checking out for good with just over four minutes remaining in the third quarter. Isaiah Collier logged 33 minutes off the bench, and fantasy managers should prepare for a similar split the rest of the season for draft lottery reasons. Utah opens a four-game Week 19 schedule on Monday against the Nuggets.

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.

George is back in the lineup after missing six games with a sprained right ankle. His return likely pushes Isaiah Collier, who should still play plenty off the bench. Those who have been rostering Collier should hold onto him for the silly season.

George has missed the last six games due to a sprained ankle, but appears likely to make his return against the Pelicans on Saturday. Isaiah Collier remains the preferred Jazz backcourt option with George likely on a minutes restriction in his first game back.

George has missed Utah’s last six games with a sprained ankle, and he was questionable for Thursday’s loss to the Pelicans before being ruled out. The best course of action for fantasy managers is to roster Isaiah Collier, even for nights when George is allowed to play.

That’s now six games in a row with George on the sideline for a Jazz team that doesn’t seem very interested in winning basketball games. Isaiah Collier will continue to get plenty of run in his absence.

George has missed Utah’s last five games, creating an opening in the starting lineup. Isaiah Collier has filled the void, and he’s worth rostering even if George can play against the Pelicans.

George is set to miss his fifth consecutive game with a sprained right ankle. Isaiah Collier will continue to fill in during George’s absence and should be rostered in all leagues at this point.
