Yurtseven supplied 11 points (5-12 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 18 rebounds and two assists over 30 minutes during Sunday's 123-116 loss to the Warriors.
EDGE Analysis
Yurtseven spent most of the season as the third-string center behind John Collins (back) and Walker Kessler (nose), but since both were ruled out for the season finale, Yurtseven stepped into a starting role and looked quite good, posting a double-double and making his presence felt on the glass. Yurtseven started Utah's final six games of the campaign, scoring in double digits four times and posting two double-doubles in that span.

Yurtseven ended with 20 points (9-14 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 11 rebounds, two assists and two steals in 37 minutes during Tuesday's 111-95 loss to Denver.
EDGE Analysis
Making his third straight start in the absence of John Collins (back) and Walker Kessler (nose), Yurtseven delivered his first double-double of the season. The 25-year-old center has averaged 13.3 points, 8.3 boards, 1.0 assists and 1.0 steals during his brief starting stint, and with Utah headed back to the draft lottery, Yurtseven could see a significant role over the final three regular-season games.

Yurtseven registered 12 points (6-10 FG), seven rebounds, one assist and one steal over 21 minutes during Friday's 131-102 loss to the Clippers.
EDGE Analysis
Yurtseven garnered the start with John Collins (back) and Walker Kessler (nose) on the sidelines. Though Yurtseven has had a very inconsistent role throughout the campaign, he's proven to be an effective rebounder when called upon. Across his seven starts, Yurtseven is averaging 6.9 points, 8.4 boards, 1.1 assists and 0.9 blocks over 21.0 minutes per contest.

Yurtseven will start against the Clippers on Friday, Tomer Azarly of ClutchPoints.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
John Collins (back) and Walker Kessler (nose) are both sidelined, so Yurtseven could have a sizable role Friday night. In six starts this season, Yurtseven averaged 6.0 points, 8.7 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 1.0 blocks.

Yurtseven (ankle) is available for Monday's game against the Mavericks.
EDGE Analysis
Yurtseven will return to action Monday after missing Saturday's loss to the Rockets due to a right ankle sprain. However, Utah is at full strength, save for Kris Dunn (suspension), so it's unclear how big of a role Yurtseven will have off the bench.

Yurtseven (ankle) is questionable for Monday's game against Dallas.
EDGE Analysis
Yurtseven sat out Saturday's game against the Rockets due to a right ankle sprain, and it's unclear whether he'll be able to return to action Monday. If he's available, Yurtseven is unlikely to see significant playing time.

Yurtseven (ankle) is out for Saturday's game against the Rockets, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Yurtseven logged 21 minutes in the 113-97 loss to the Mavericks on Thursday, but he'll miss this contest, marking his fourth absence since the beginning of March. His next chance to play will come against Dallas on Monday.

Yurtseven is questionable to play Saturday against the Rockets due to a right ankle sprain.
EDGE Analysis
Yurtseven hasn't played much for the Jazz in recent weeks, averaging just 12.3 minutes per game since the beginning of March. However, his absence could prove to be a big one Saturday since Lauri Markkanen (injury maintenance) is out and John Collins (face) is questionable, leaving the frontcourt quite thin in terms of depth.

Yurtseven racked up three points (1-1 FG, 1-1 3Pt) and one rebound in three minutes during Sunday's 128-109 win over the Spurs.
EDGE Analysis
Yurtseven played three minutes in garbage time, entering the rotation for just the fourth time in the past 10 games. Despite his fantasy-friendly game, there simply aren't enough minutes to go around for Yurtseven to have any sustainable value. If the Jazz decide to lean into their second and third units down the stretch, he could pop up on radars as a per-minute streaming consideration.

Yurtseven (illness) played two minutes in Tuesday's 130-118 win over the Spurs, missing his only field-goal attempt while recording no other statistics.
EDGE Analysis
Though Yurtseven received minutes in his return from a four-game absence due to an illness, he wasn't included in the rotation. Yurtseven and three other deep reserves (Brice Sensabaugh, Luka Samanic and Taylor Hendricks) all played the final 2:08 of the contest when Utah had essentially already secured the win. With Utah at full strength in the frontcourt, Yurtseven looks as though he'll rank no higher than third in the pecking order at center behind Walker Kessler and Kelly Olynyk.
