Keyonte George

While his name may not be mentioned very often in early Most Improved Player conversations, there's no denying that George has made impressive strides after two uneven seasons in Utah. On Thursday, the guard recorded his third double-double of the season, and he only committed one turnover in 31 minutes of play. George is providing third-round value in eight-cat formats, well ahead of his Yahoo! ADP (116). Rostered in 79 percent of Yahoo! leagues, managers in shallow formats must ensure that George isn't sitting on the waiver wire.

Lauri Markkanen scored 30 points, Keyonte George had 29 and the Utah Jazz used a huge fourth quarter to beat the Brooklyn Nets 123-110 on Thursday night.

George tallied 29 points (8-20 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 9-9 FT), 10 assists and five rebounds over 31 minutes during the Jazz's 123-110 win over the Nets on Thursday.

Due to a right rib contusion, starting center Jusuf Nurkic will not play on Thursday. His spot in the lineup will be filled by Filipowski, who is worth streaming. He should be most valuable later in the season, especially if the Jazz aren't in contention for a postseason spot as many expect.

George (illness) is available for Sunday's game against the Rockets.
