Frank Jackson, Kris Dunn To Sign 10-Day Deals

The Utah Jazz have signed guards Frank Jackson and Kris Dunn to 10-day deals. Jackson has played well in Utah's G-League affiliate this season.

Russell Westbrook Joins Clippers

Free-agent guard Russell Westbrook has decided to sign with the Los Angeles Clippers. The veteran guard is finalizing his contract buyout with the Utah Jazz.

Fantasy Basketball Buy, Sell, or Hold: Russell Westbrook, Derrick White, and Aaron Gordon

Trading in fantasy basketball can help you improve your team in the short, as well as in the long term. More than that, it's just plain fun. Negotiating with your mate, going back and forth with offers, and hopefully, reaching a mutually beneficial agreement in the end. It's not always easy to find the right […]

Fantasy Basketball Deeper-League Waiver Wire Adds for Week 19: Daniel Gafford, Kyle Anderson, Terance Mann

The deeper a fantasy basketball league, the harder it is to hit a winner with your last few picks. It is also harder to find decent help from the waiver wire if your late-round picks don't do you justice. If you picked up a few stinkers, don't lose hope just yet. I will try to […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 6% of leagues ANALYSIS: The Jazz finally decided to sell the house, or at least some of it, before the deadline and into the home stretch of the season.

Collin Sexton Picks Up A Hamstring Injury

Utah Jazz guard Collin Sexton managed to log only four minutes in Wednesday's matchup against Minnesota, exiting the game with a left hamstring problem.

With […]

Clippers Receive Permission To Talk To Russell Westbrook

Utah Jazz guard Russell Westbrook has yet to suit up since the deal that sent him from the Los Angeles Lakers to Utah.

Rudy Gay Questionable For Wednesday's Game

Utah Jazz forward Rudy Gay (illness) has been listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Grizzlies. The veteran is battling an illness and could be out for only the second time in 2023.

Lauri Markkanen Questionable On Wednesday Against Memphis

Utah Jazz forward Lauri Markkanen (knee) has been tagged as questionable with left knee soreness for their game against the Memphis Grizzlies on Wednesday.

NBA DFS Prop Picks for 2/15/23 - Monkey Knife Fight

A modest 10-game slate Wednesday and since re-formatting this article, a few lines have already jumped with two surging over the 240-point mark (UTA @ MEM dropped back down to 239.5 since apparently, I write incredibly slow.) Regardless, Charlotte versus San Antonio and Memphis versus Utah will retain ridiculously high point-totals for good reason. At […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 35% of leagues ANALYSIS: The Jazz didn't sell the whole team at the deadline day but they moved enough pieces to let folks around the league know that they indeed are just another tanking and rebuilding team looking more for a bright future rather than a […]

Collin Sexton Fills Stat Sheet In Start

Utah Jazz guard Collin Sexton put together one of the strongest performances of the season in Friday's 122-116 win in Toronto, racking up 22 points, five rebounds, six assists, two steals and two blocks.

Jordan Clarkson Sidelined On Friday

Utah Jazz guard Jordan Clarkson (illness) isn't available against the Toronto Raptors. Clarkson is sidelined with a non-COVID-related illness, so Talen Horton-Tucker may replace him in the starting lineup.

Jordan Clarkson Tagged As Questionable On Friday

Utah Jazz guard Jordan Clarkson (illness) was added to the injury report on Friday with a non-COVID illness that could keep him off the floor against the Toronto Raptors.
