The Top Move Each NBA Lottery Team Must Make This Offseason

The play-in tournament was created to put an end to "tanking" once and for all, but it hasn't quite worked that way. Tanking is still a thing, as NBA teams don't want to be stuck in "No Man's Land," the middle zone of a seventh to 10th-place finish. And, who can blame them? As of […]

Kelly Olynyk Caps Off Season With Hot Shooting

Utah Jazz forward/center Kelly Olynyk missed only four of 13 shots en route to 23 points in Sunday's 128-117 loss to the Lakers.

Utah Jazz guard Kris Dunn bagged a 19-point, 14-assist double-double as the team beat Denver 118-114 on Saturday.

Talen Horton-Tucker Remains Out On Saturday

Utah Jazz guard/forward Talen Horton-Tucker (ankle) is out on Saturday versus Denver. He didn't suit up on Thursday against OKC because of left ankle soreness, and barring a miracle, he'll likely sit for Sunday's meeting with the Lakers.

Collin Sexton Ruled Out Against Denver

Utah Jazz guard Collin Sexton (hamstring) won't suit up on Saturday versus the Nuggets. The 24-year-old played one game since the All-Star break because of a hamstring injury.

Kelly Olynyk Resting Versus The Nuggets

Utah Jazz forward Kelly Olynyk (rest) will sit against the Nuggets. No surprise here, considering Utah has one game left after this contest. With Lauri Markkanen (hand) and Talen Horton-Tucker (ankle) also out, Luka Samanic and Simone Fontecchio will draw plenty of interest from DFS participants.

Lauri Markkanen Out Against Denver

Utah Jazz forward Lauri Markkanen (hand) won't play on Saturday against the Denver Nuggets. Utah has one more game after this one, so fantasy managers will likely not see Markkanen for the remainder of the 2022-23 campaign. Talen Horton-Tucker (ankle) and Kelly Olynyk (rest) are also out, meaning Simone Fontecchio and Luka Samanic should receive […]
