Utah will have its preferred frontcourt for Monday's game, as Markkanen, Collins, and Kessler return after missing Saturday's loss to the Clippers. As a result, Svi Mykhailiuk, Micah Potter, and Kyle Filipowski will come off the bench. Clarkson continues to start in the backcourt for the injured Collin Sexton.
The Jazz will not have Collin Sexton or Lauri Markkanen for Wednesday's game, opening up two spots in the starting lineup. Clarkson, whose name has come up in trade rumors, and Mykhailiuk will fill the voids. Clarkson offers a higher streaming ceiling, especially if he wants to put on a show to make a positive impression on other teams around the league.
Schroder is on the move for the second time this season. The first time he was traded, from the Nets to the Warriors, was undoubtedly a downgrade for his fantasy value. After averaging 18.4 points per game and 6.6 assists per game with the Nets, he saw his averages plummet to 10.6 points per game and 4.4 assists per game with the Warriors. While the Jazz already have Collin Sexton, it's difficult to say that Schroder's situation is worse after the trade, though it remains to be seen what role he'll have in Utah.
Clarkson moved into the starting lineup with Collin Sexton and Lauri Markkanen out Wednesday. The 32-year-old point guard came through for fantasy managers that used him as a streamer with 31 points and five threes. If this was a showcase game for a trade before Thursday's deadline, Clarkson nailed the audition.
Jazz guard Collin Sexton will be reevaluated in one week after suffering a left ankle sprain in the opening minutes Monday night against Indiana.
