NBC SportsAce Bailey (illness) is out for Monday's game against the Warriors.

Bailey was initially questionable for Monday's game. His absence frees up a spot in the starting lineup. John Konchar does not offer much as a scorer, but the steals production makes him worth a look in deep category leagues. Brice Sensabaugh will be worth a look for managers seeking more offense.

NBC SportsAce Bailey (illness) is questionable for Monday's matchup with the Warriors.

Bailey is a late addition to Utah's injury report, and if he's unable to take the court, Brice Sensabaugh could see more opportunities as the next man up. John Konchar may see additional run as well.

NBC SportsKeyonte George, Ace Bailey, Cody Williams, Kyle Filipowski and Oscar Tshiebwe will start Saturday's game against the Bucks.

George is back in the Jazz starting lineup after missing Thursday's win over the Wizards, pushing Isaiah Collier to the bench. The other change is Tshiebwe, whose inclusion gives Utah more size and strength in the frontcourt. John Konchar heads to the bench, but he can still provide solid steals production.

NBC SportsJohn Konchar started on Thursday and finished with four points (2-of-6 FGs), five rebounds, one assist, five steals and two blocks against the Pelicans.

Konchar got the starting nod with Lauri Markkanen (hip) set to miss at least two weeks. He continued to not provide much production, outside of steals. He is averaging 3.8 steals over his last four games and should continue to provide plenty of swipes. However, managers that need more than that should be cautious about rostering him, even if he's starting.

NBC SportsESPN's Shams Charania reports Lauri Markkanen (hip) will be re-evaluated in two weeks.

Markkanen injured his hip and ankle in practice on Wednesday, but it's the hip that will force him to miss time. He underwent an MRI that "showed symptomatic hip impingement with associated inflammation and bone bruise." He'll miss at least eight games, though he could certainly remain out longer. John Konchar is starting in his place on Thursday.
