Utah's Jordan Clarkson (back) out again for Friday
The Utah Jazz ruled out Jordan Clarkson (back) for Friday's game against the Houston Rockets.
What It Means:
Clarkson suffered a back injury in his return from a previous groin injury and appears to be trending towards another multiple-game absence. With Clarkson sidelined, expect the Jazz to continue rolling with Collin Sexton and Keyonte George as their primary ball handlers with Brice Sensabaugh seeing increased minutes off the bench.
Sexton has been the most reliable fantasy option at guard for Utah, and is projected for 32.7 FanDuel points against the Rockets on Friday. His projection includes 20 points, 3.1 rebounds, and 5.1 assists.
