Kyle

Anderson

Anderson came off the bench to lead the injury-hit Jazz in scoring on Thursday, finishing as one of two on the team to score at least 20 points. The veteran forward hadn’t seen the court since December 15 and hadn’t scored a point since December 5. He collected a season-high in rebounds and blocks as well, but fantasy managers shouldn’t expect Anderson to become a reliable option across fantasy leagues. He’ll look to land a consecutive strong outing against the Warriors on Saturday.

Love will not play on Monday for rest reasons. With Kyle Anderson absent from the injury report, he may pick up a few rotation minutes. However, there’s no need to roster Anderson.

Anderson is a late addition to the injury report and will not be available. His absence likely means that Kevin Love will be part of the rotation, especially with Lauri Markkanen also out. However, there’s no need to roster Love in most leagues.

Markkanen’s late addition to the injury report doesn’t bode well for his availability against OKC. If he’s ultimately ruled out, the Jazz could give more minutes to Kyle Filipowski and Kyle Anderson.

Love played 17 minutes off the bench in Friday’s win over the Kings, with Kyle Anderson picking up a DNP-CD. With the former ruled out for Sunday’s game, look for the latter to play rotation minutes off the bench. However, there’s no need to consider adding Anderson in any fantasy league.

Filipowski sat out Tuesday, but he’s ready to re-join Utah’s lineup following a one-game absence. His return should mean reduced playing time for Kyle Anderson, who logged 21 minutes in Filipowski’s absence.

Due to a sprained right wrist, Filipowski did not play in Tuesday’s loss to the Lakers. His absence factored into Kyle Anderson playing 20 minutes off the bench. Slo Mo’s playing time will decrease if Filipowski plays, but neither will impact fantasy basketball at this point in the season. However, Filipowski will be worth rostering after the February trade deadline.

Anderson will be back after a four-game absence, but he has only made three appearances this year. Even when healthy, he hasn’t been a large part of the rotation. He should be left on the waiver wire.

Anderson has missed Utah’s last four games due to lower back injury management. His availability does not impact fantasy basketball, however, as Slo Mo has not been a lock to play rotation minutes when healthy.

Sunday’s game will be the fourth that Anderson has missed with a back injury. His absence does not impact fantasy basketball, as Slo Mo is not guaranteed rotation minutes when healthy.
