Markkanen will miss a seventh straight game as he continues to recover from the hamstring injury he suffered towards the end of November. The Jazz have battled to a 3-3 record in his absence so far, but have managed small wins with brutal losses in that span.

With Markkanen sidelined expect Simone Fontecchio to continue playing a starting role in Utah's offense. Fontecchio has a $5,000 salary on FanDuel and is projected to score 10.9 fantasy points against the Clippers.

Murray has been working through an ankle injury recently after dealing with a hamstring injury for much of November. When he has played recently he hasn't seemed to have missed a beat, so his probable designation for Friday is a good sign that he's close to full health again.

Our models project Murray for 35.6 fantasy points off of 18.5 points, 3.9 rebounds, and 7.1 assists. FanDuel has set his salary at $7,500.

Brogdon is dealing with right knee soreness and is questionable to face the Mavericks on Friday. If he is available, our models expect him to play 28.1 minutes against Dallas.

Brogdon's Friday projection includes 15.9 points, 4.5 rebounds, 4.6 assists, and 29.9 FanDuel points. His salary is $7,300.

Grant will miss a second straight game as he recovers from his recent concussion. Anfernee Simons stepped up into Grant's vacated spot in the starting lineup and should still be in the starting five for tipoff tomorrow.

Our models project Simons, who has a $6,600 salary on FanDuel, to score 31.7 fantasy points against Dallas with 20.7 points, 2.8 rebounds, and 4.4 assists.

Ayton continues to deal with a knee injury and is not expected to play against Dallas after being listed as doubtful. Look for Duop Reath to draw another start.

Ayton is averaging 12.9 points, 10.8 rebounds, 1.6 assists, and 32.1 FanDuel points. His salary is $7,200.
