Jazz's Keyonte George: Posts solid line to end season
Rotowire
George registered 14 points (6-23 FG, 0-8 3Pt, 2-3 FT), five rebounds and seven assists in 48 minutes during Sunday's 116-105 loss to Minnesota.
George took full advantage of his opportunities with the first unit this season. His role with the Jazz was similar to that of the rookie campaign, where he was often the first man off the bench to spell the backcourt. Numerous injuries at the position helped out his bottom line, and he has all the skills needed to move into a full-time role if the Jazz choose to move some guards in the offseason. He averaged 16.8 points, 5.6 assists, 3.8 rebounds and 0.7 steals over 67 games this season.

Jazz's Keyonte George: Logs career-high 35 points in loss
Rotowire
George chipped in 35 points (10-19 FG, 7-13 3Pt, 8-9 FT), four rebounds, two assists and one steal in 34 minutes during Sunday's 147-134 loss to Atlanta.
George led Utah in scoring while coming off the bench Sunday, marking his third outing with at least 30 points this season. The 21-year-old posted a game-high seven three-pointers en route to a career-high mark in scoring Sunday, albeit in a losing effort. George has recorded double-digit points in each of his last six appearances, averaging 19.8 points, 4.0 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 3.0 three-pointers across 31.5 minutes per game.

Jazz's Keyonte George: Serviceable effort again
Rotowire
George closed with 15 points (6-14 FG, 3-9 3Pt), eight rebounds and five assists across 32 minutes during Friday's 140-112 loss to the Pacers.
George tallied double-digits for the fifth straight game, with the biggest positive continuing to be the fact that he is actually playing on a regular basis. He has now made 10 straight appearances, a welcome sight given the fact that the Jazz are seemingly shutting down players for the season. His past seven games have yielded averages of 14.0 points, 3.7 rebounds, 4.1 assists and 1.9 three-pointers.

Jazz's Keyonte George: Productive from second unit
Rotowire
George closed Friday's 129-93 loss to the Nuggets with 18 points (5-17 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 6-6 FT), four rebounds, four assists and one steal over 35 minutes off the bench.
With Jordan Clarkson (foot) done for the year, George saw his biggest workload since he played 37 minutes in an OT loss to the Clippers on Feb. 13. The second-year guard has scored in double digits in five of seven games since returning from a foot injury, averaging 14.9 points, 4.7 assists, 3.3 boards and 1.9 threes over that stretch. His usage seems likely to increase over the final weeks of the season, with Clarkson's 13.3 FG attempts a game up for grabs.

Jazz's Keyonte George: Produces solid totals from bench
Rotowire
George finished Thursday's 121-110 loss to the Rockets with 17 points (5-11 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 7-7 FT), three rebounds and eight assists in 29 minutes.
George has handled increased work with aplomb during his second season with the Jazz. He's stepped into the first unit 32 times, and it appears he might be one trade away from taking over a starting role in the backcourt next season. His shot could use a bit more seasoning, but he hasn't been shy about heaving it up at the perimeter. He's averaging 7.4 three-point attempts per game with a conversion percentage of 34.6 percent.

Jazz's Keyonte George: Shines off the bench with 19 points
Rotowire
George finished Friday's 121-99 loss to the Celtics with 19 points (7-16 FG, 5-9 3Pt), four rebounds and seven assists over 33 minutes.
George has been a bright spot during a disappointing season. He's followed up a promising freshman campaign with a productive sophomore campaign, averaging 16.9 points, 5.8 assists and 3.8 rebounds over 56 games. Given the backcourt depth George provides, the Jazz may elect to make some roster moves in the offseason that could make him an everyday starter next year.

Jazz's Keyonte George: Efficient 20 points off bench
Rotowire
George ended with 20 points (7-12 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds and four assists over 29 minutes during Wednesday's 128-112 win over Washington.
Perhaps most notably, George was able to play a team-high 29 minutes while Utah limited the playing time of their available veterans Wednesday. It's unknown if the second-year guard is at risk of receiving similar maintenance going forward that the other Jazz stars have gotten, but his playing time was certainly encouraging in this one. Across six outings in March, George has averaged 19.8 points, 4.3 assists, 4.0 rebounds, 1.0 steals and 2.7 three-pointers in 30.2 minutes.

Jazz's Keyonte George: Productive in return Monday
Rotowire
George (foot/illness) finished with 16 points (4-7 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 7-7 FT), two rebounds, two assists and two steals in 27 minutes during Monday's 111-97 loss to the Bulls.
George returned from a four-game absence due to a left foot contusion and an illness, leading the Jazz bench in scoring. The 21-year-old guard is now averaging 16.8 points, 5.8 assists, 3.8 rebounds and 2.6 three-pointers in 31.4 minutes per game over his 54 appearances, but he's shooting just 39.5 percent from the field and 34.3 percent from downtown.

Over his last five outings, the 21-year-old combo guard has averaged 17.6 points, 5.8 assists, 4.4 rebounds and 2.4 three-pointers across 29.6 minutes per contest.

Jazz's Keyonte George: Questionable to play Friday
Rotowire
George (foot) is questionable for Friday's game against the Raptors.
The questionable tag on George suggests that a decision on his status will be made closer to Friday's tipoff. Even if he's deemed available, George shouldn't carry the same fantasy appeal he had earlier in the season since he's been playing off the bench in the last few games.

Jazz's Keyonte George: Won't play Monday
Rotowire
George (foot) will not play Monday against the Celtics.
Monday's game is the second leg of a back-to-back set, so George will be held out to manage the soreness in his left foot after posting 25 points (7-20 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 8-10 FT), six rebounds, three assists and three steals over 33 minutes off the bench during Sunday's 126-122 loss to the 76ers. With George sidelined, Collin Sexton is likely to shoulder a hefty workload in his return to action.

George supplied 25 points (7-20 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 8-10 FT), six rebounds, three assists and three steals over 33 minutes off the bench during Sunday's 126-122 loss to the 76ers.
The second-year guard continues to be productive as the floor general for Utah's second unit. George has delivered at least 20 points in eight of his last 15 appearances, averaging 18.6 points, 6.1 assists, 4.3 boards, 2.9 threes and 0.7 steals in 31.7 minutes a contest over that stretch.

Jazz's Keyonte George: Productive off bench in loss
Rotowire
George chipped in 18 points (4-14 FG, 1-8 3Pt, 9-13 FT), six rebounds, eight assists and one steal in 31 minutes during Friday's 118-109 loss to Toronto.
George was demoted to a bench role earlier this season in favor of Isaiah Collier, and that's not expected to change in the near future, especially since the Jazz continue to rest their starters on a regular basis. However, George has found a way to stay productive, and he's been playing regularly in recent weeks, which is something that can't be said about some of the other regular rotation members of the Jazz. The bench role isn't ideal for fantasy managers who trust George, but he's finding a way to get the job done. He's averaging 18.1 points, 4.5 rebounds, 6.0 assists and 0.5 steals per game off the bench in eight outings since the All-Star break.
