Lauri Markkanen (conditioning) will not be available on Thursday against the Houston Rockets. He has recently missed time due to an illness and is now working on his conditioning to return to game shape. Markkanen will be out for a fifth consecutive game.
Kyle Filipowski,
Cody Williams, and
Brice Sensabaugh will continue to have extra fantasy value on Thursday night. The former two have recently been part of the starting unit, although Williams has struggled to make a positive impact, shooting 34.1 percent from the field this month.

Lauri Markkanen (illness) will miss additional time and has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. The 2023 All-Star will sit out a fourth consecutive game. It's the second straight game he will miss due to an illness. Utah has no interest in winning and will continue to give opportunities to younger players for the remainder of the season. Markkanen's absence opens the door for
Kyle Filipowski,
Brice Sensabaugh, and
Kenyon Martin Jr. to take on larger roles in the rotation. Filipowski stands out as the best fantasy option, as he has joined the starting unit, where he averages 13.8 points, 7.9 rebounds, and 2.6 assists.

Lauri Markkanen (personal) will miss his 24th game of the season on Friday as the team has ruled him out for personal reasons against the Boston Celtics. The youth movement has been in full effect for the Jazz as they try to inch closer to better odds for the number-one draft pick.
John Collins (ankle) has also been ruled out of this game, so the starting frontcourt will likely continue to feature
Walker Kessler,
Kyle Filipowski, and
Cody Williams. Filipowski would be the best streaming option as he's enjoyed a great March with averages of 15.8 points, 7.4 rebounds, and 2.4 assists per game while shooting 52.9% from the floor and 43.1% from three.

Lauri Markkanen (personal) will not play in Wednesday's contest against the Washington Wizards. He is tending to a personal matter and will exit the lineup after playing in each of the last four games.
Brice Sensabaugh,
Kyle Filipowski, and
Micah Potter could all see an uptick in minutes due to Markkanen's absence. Sensabaugh can heat up in a hurry and could do big damage against a team that allows a league-high 120.5 points per game.
