What It Means:

Rubio missed three games late last season with the same injury, so the Jazz may be opting to err on the side of caution. It also could help explain why he's gone just 6-for-28 from the field (21.4 percent) over the past three games, which is bad even for Rubio's standards. Raul Neto (hamstring) has also been ruled out again, so look for Donovan Mitchell and Royce O'Neale to handle most of the point work for Utah.

Rubio is averaging 28.1 FanDuel points in 56 games (55 starts) this season. numberFire's models expect him to record 15.3 points, 4.4 rebounds, 7.6 assists, 1.5 steals, and 1.4 triples per contest over the remainder of the year.
