Kessler (shoulder) has been listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Timberwolves.

EDGE Analysis

Kessler has missed the last two games for the Jazz due to a left shoulder contusion. The 23-year-old big man has been having the best season of his career for Utah, averaging career-high numbers across the board, posting 11.3 points, 11.4 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 2.4 blocks per game. He's also shooting a career-high 73 percent from the floor and 40 percent from beyond the arc.

Kessler (shoulder) will not play Tuesday against the Warriors.

EDGE Analysis

Kessler will miss his second game in a row Tuesday, presumably after picking up the injury Saturday against Memphis. With John Collins (illness) and Lauri Markkanen (rest) also sidelined, Drew Eubanks, Kyle Filipowski and Brice Sensabaugh will likely see the bulk of the frontcourt minutes.

Kessler (shoulder) will not play Monday against the Bucks.

EDGE Analysis

Kessler was previously carrying a questionable tag, so fantasy managers can consider him day-to-day moving forward. With John Collins (illness) also sidelined, the Jazz may need to rely heavily on Kyle Filipowski and Drew Eubanks in the frontcourt.

Kessler (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Bucks, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kessler likely injured his left shoulder during the Jazz's 125-103 loss to the Grizzlies on Saturday, during which he registered 11 points, 10 rebounds, one assist, two blocks and two steals across 29 minutes. Kyle Filipowski and Drew Eubanks would be the top candidates to start at center Monday if Kessler is not cleared to play.

Kessler accumulated 11 points (5-5 FG, 1-1 FT), 10 rebounds, one assist, two blocks and two steals in 29 minutes during Saturday's 125-103 loss to the Grizzlies.

EDGE Analysis

Not only did Kessler finish with his 19th double-double of the season, but he also achieved this feat while going perfect from the field, something he's now managed six times this season. Kessler won't lead the Jazz in scoring on a regular basis, but he provides enough value on both ends of the court to remain a reliable fantasy option across all formats.

Kessler supplied 17 points (8-10 FG, 1-4 FT), 15 rebounds, two blocks and one assist across 31 minutes during Wednesday's 123-114 loss to Oklahoma City.

EDGE Analysis

Kessler posted his 18th double-double of the season in an extremely efficient performance from the field, albeit in a losing effort. The big man also recorded multiple blocks for the 25th time through 34 regular-season appearances, and he is on pace to tie his career high of 2.4 swats per game. Over his last five outings, Kessler has averaged 14.4 points, 12.8 rebounds and 1.8 blocks while shooting 78.0 percent from the field in 30.6 minutes per contest.

Kessler totaled 19 points (8-10 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 13 rebounds, two assists and one block across 34 minutes during Monday's 123-119 overtime loss to New Orleans.

EDGE Analysis

Kessler recorded his 17th double-double of the season. He's been the second most valuable fantasy producer in nine-category formats for the Jazz, posting averages of 11.1 points, 11.4 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 2.5 blocks in 29.8 minutes per contest.

Kessler (rest) is available for Monday's game against the Pelicans, Ben Anderson of KSL News Salt Lake City reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kessler received rest in Friday's loss to the Pelicans, but he'll be available for Monday's rematch. His return will give the Jazz a much-needed boost on both ends of the court, and it'll likely push Drew Eubanks back to the bench.

Kessler (rest) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Pelicans, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

After returning to the floor for Wednesday's loss against the Hornets, Kessler will rest Friday against the Pelicans. Drew Eubanks could be in line to start in place of the talented big man for Utah.

Kessler (rest) isn't on the injury report for Wednesday's game versus the Hornets.

EDGE Analysis

Kessler will return to action Wednesday after sitting out Utah's previous contest for rest purposes. The 23-year-old center should reclaim his starting spot from Drew Eubanks against Charlotte.
