Fantasy Impact: Markkanen was a standout player for the Jazz last year and an All-Star back in the 2022-23 season. Despite heavy trade speculation and talk surrounding him, Markkanen will be staying with the Jazz for the long run. Expect him to stay extremely productive in both the scoring and rebounding departments for fantasy teams this season.

Russell Westbrook is expected to join the Nuggets after being traded to the Jazz. (Source: ESPN)

Fantasy Impact: Westbrook was originally traded to Utah in a sign-and-trade deal with the Clippers, but he is expected to agree to a buyout to sign with Denver. He should take over the role Reggie Jackson had as a backup to Jamal Murray.

Brice Sensabaugh has been diagnosed with a torn extensor tendon in his left middle finger and will miss the remainder of the Summer League. (Source: Utah Jazz on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: The Jazz are expected to have a heavy asking price for Kessler, but it does appear teams are interested. Kessler averaged 8.1 points, 7.5 rebounds and 2.4 blocks last season.

Kris Dunn has been linked to the Suns as a possible free agent fit. (Source: Jonathan Givony)

Fantasy Impact: Dunn would likely sign a veteran’s minimum with Phoenix while securing a strong spot within their rotation. He averaged 5.4 points per game while playing strong defense with Utah this past season.

The Utah Jazz reportedly could make Collin Sexton available on the trade market this offseason. (Source: Michael Scotto)

Fantasy Impact: Sexton scored just under 19 points per game on almost 40 percent shooting from deep this past season. He'll likely draw plenty of interest from other teams if made available in a trade.

The Utah Jazz are expected to make Jordan Clarkson available on the trade market. (Source: Evan Sidery on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Clarkson is owed $14 million annually over the next two seasons after the two sides have re-negotiated his contract. It is possible a contender looks to make a move for Clarkson in exchange for draft capital.

John Collins (back) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Golden State Warriors. (Source: NBA Injury Report)

Fantasy Impact: Utah is out of the playoff race in the West, so they're just resting all of their starters in order to prevent any unnecessary injuries from happening. Kenneth Lofton Jr. is coming off of the heels of a 27-point outing and may continue to dominate in his increased work with Collins out.

Keyonte George scored 20 points (7-14 FG, 2-6 3PT, 4-5 FT) to go along with four rebounds, five assists and two steals in the 124-121 win for Utah over the Rockets.

Fantasy Impact: George did commit five turnovers, but it was otherwise a solid night for him. He was one of two players to exceed 30 minutes on the court in the win, and should remain in a big role during the final two games of the season.

Talen Horton-Tucker scored 24 points (10-23 FG, 4-8 3PT) to go along with three rebounds, two assists, one steal and one block in the 111-95 loss for the Jazz against Denver.

Fantasy Impact: Despite coming off the bench, Horton-Tucker scored a team-high in points for Utah. He likely remains off the fantasy radar the rest of this year, though he could hold some streaming appeal if Collin Sexton remains sidelined.

Taylor Hendricks has been listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Hawks. (Source: Ryan Miller on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Hendricks was able to log a full practice on Wednesday, giving him a chance to return on Friday. If he does, he could start with Lauri Markkanen ruled out. Otherwise, Brice Sensabaugh could see another spot start.

Otto Porter Jr. has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Hornets. (Source: NBA Injury Report)

Fantasy Impact: Porter is still waiting to make his debut with the Jazz. He remains off the fantasy radar.

The Utah Jazz have waived Kevin Knox II. (Source: Utah Jazz on Twitter)

The Utah Jazz are finalizing a trade to send Kelly Olynyk and Ochai Agbaji to the Toronto Raptors for Kira Lewis, Otto Porter and a 2024 first-round pick. (Source: Adrian Wojnarowski on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Agbaji had a limited role as part of a crowded back court in Utah. The second year player out of Kansas now joins another pretty crowded back court in Toronto. He will likely remain off the fantasy radar as a result.

Fantasy Impact: Olynyk has had some big games this season in spot starts with the Jazz. He'll likely backup Jakob Poeltl in Toronto to help improve the front court with the second unit for the Raptors.

The Pistons traded Kevin Knox, 2024 second-round pick via Wizards and draft rights to Gabriele Procida to the Jazz in exchange for Simone Fontecchio. (Source: Adrian Wojnarowski on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Fontecchio has taken on an expanded role in the starting lineup for Utah as of late. With his departure, Ochai Agbaji and Talen Horton-Tucker should see their roles take a step forward for Utah. Meanwhile, Fontecchio should remain in a fairly significant role with the Pistons.
