Flirts with triple-doubleHorton-Tucker recorded 28 points (9-21 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 10-10 FT), eight rebounds and seven assists in 31 minutes during Friday's 122-114 loss to Boston.
Advice: Horton-Tucker capitalized on the absences of Collin Sexton (hamstring), Jordan Clarkson (finger) and Lauri Markkanen (hand) once again Friday, following up his career-high 41-point outing with an all-around performance. He led the Jazz in points and assists in the game and should remain a valuable fantasy option for as long as Utah battles the injury bug. Rotowire.com -
Goes for double digits off benchJackson notched 13 points (4-4 FG, 5-8 FT), four rebounds, two blocks and one steal across 19 minutes during Friday's 121-117 victory over the Thunder.
Advice: Despite dropping out of the starting unit and seeing a lighter workload than he had in the past four games, Jackson worked efficiently Friday. He had his way on the inside, converting all four of his shot attempts and earning eight free-throw attempts, one short of his season high. Jackson should continue to see his fair share of minutes with Myles Turner (back) potentially sidelined for the season, but Jalen Smith posted a double-double in a starting role Friday and could continue to claim a healthier workload than Jackson over the final four regular-season contests.

Elevated scoring continues FridayGiddey registered 21 points (9-19 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-4 FT), seven rebounds and four assists in 33 minutes during Friday's 121-117 loss to the Pacers.
Advice: Giddey has taken on an expanded scoring role lately, averaging 22.8 points on 19.2 shots across the past five matchups compared to 16.1 points on 14.4 shots in his 68 prior appearances. That's partially due to two absences from Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, but Giddey has been extra aggressive even when SGA has been available. Giddey is also posting 10.0 rebounds and 6.6 assists per game during this run. Rotowire.com -
Produces in spot startGriffiin tallied six points (1-5 FG, 0-2 3PT, 4-4 FG), 12 rebounds, five assists and one steal across 25 minutes in Friday's 122-114 victory over the Celtics.
Advice: Griffin was active on the boards during this spot start, and while he struggled in limited shots from the field, he showed some play-making skills with his five dimes. The veteran big man ultimately played in 10 of a possible 16 games during the month of March. He averaged 3.4 points, 5.0 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 0.5 steals across 14.3 minutes during that span.

Matches season-high six dimesNwora finished with 13 points (6-14 FG, 1-6 3Pt), six rebounds, six assists and one block in 30 minutes during Friday's 121-117 win over the Thunder.
Advice: Nwora continues to be a pleasant surprise for the Pacers, and he tied his season-high six assists in Friday's upset victory. He should continue to have a significant role with four games left in the Pacers' season. He's reached double figures in each of the past four games, averaging 19.3 points, 5.8 rebounds and 2.5 assists during this stretch. Rotowire.com -
Ice cold from fieldJoe recorded seven points (2-10 FG, 0-8 3Pt, 3-4 FT), two rebounds, one assist and three steals over 25 minutes during Friday's 121-117 loss to the Pacers.
Advice: Joe rejoined the reserves Friday upon the return of Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and turned in a second straight poor shooting performance. The sharpshooter has now missed all of his last 15 three-point attempts and has shot just 27.2 percent from the field since his 33-point outing Tuesday. Joe should be expected to snap out of the slump considering he has nailed triples at a 40.9 percent clip this season. Rotowire.com -
Walker Kessler scores 20 with 10 boards, 3 blocksWalker Kessler accounted for 20 points (10-of-13 FGs), 10 rebounds, two assists, and three blocked shots in Friday's 122-114 loss to the Celtics in 34 minutes.
Advice: Kessler continues to flourish in the middle for the Jazz, with Friday's performance being one of his best over the last month. The rookie's double-double was his second in four games, and he's blocked two shots or more in 17 of his last 19 appearances. Kessler's played so well since moving into the starting lineup for good in mid-January that he's closing in on top-50 value for the season. Danny Ainge and company knew what they were doing when they insisted that Kessler be included in the Rudy Gobert deal; the Jazz clearly have a budding cornerstone in the 7-foot-1 rookie.

Talen Horton-Tucker pumps in team-high 28 pointsTalen Horton-Tucker accounted for 28 points (9-of-21 FGs, 10-of-10 FTs), eight rebounds, and seven assists in Friday's 122-114 loss to the Celtics in 31 minutes.
Advice: After scoring a career-high 41 points in Wednesday's win over the Spurs, THT surpassed the 25-point mark for the second time in as many games. Since moving into the starting lineup in late February, Horton-Tucker's scored 20 or more on five occasions. However, he's still ranked outside the top 200 in 9-cat formats over the last month, with the lack of defensive stats and turnovers weighing down THT's value. The good news for fantasy managers is that Horton-Tucker has one more game on the schedule in Week 23, as the Jazz visit Brooklyn on Sunday. Backup Kris Dunn played 23 minutes before getting ejected, finishing with 16 points (8-of-13 FGs), four rebounds, four assists, and two blocked shots. NBCSportsEDGE.com -
Jayson Tatum posts 39/11/3/3 with five 3-pointersJayson Tatum shot 12-of-17 from the field and 10-of-11 from the foul line in Friday's 122-114 win over the Jazz, scoring a game-high 39 points with 11 rebounds, three assists, three steals, and five 3-pointers in 35 minutes.
Advice: Less than 24 hours removed from an impressive beating of the Bucks, Tatum and the Celtics took care of business at home. He's scored 34 points or more in four of his last five appearances, with the exception being a 28-point night in Tuesday's loss to the Wizards. Tatum's name may not be mentioned in connection with the MVP award as often as Nikola Jokic, Joel Embiid, and Giannis Antetokounmpo, but he's surely going to get some votes. Derrick White added 17 points, two rebounds, two assists, one block, and two 3-pointers in 29 minutes. The Celtics don't play again in Week 23, which is a tough blow for fantasy managers who have Tatum rostered and are looking to win a championship. NBCSportsEDGE.com
