Okur (flu) is probable for Saturday's game against the Pistons, the Salt Lake Tribune reports.

Spin: Okur has missed the Jazz' last two games with flu-like symptoms.Fri, Nov 20

News: The Salt Lake Tribune reports that Mehmet Okur is probable for Saturday's game against Detroit. He missed the previous two games with flu-like symptoms.

Analysis: Fantasy owners who have been "stuck" with him in their lineups this week should at least be able to salvage something. He is no longer considered an injury risk for the upcoming scoring period and is a great play in any format while healthy

News: Jazz K Mehmet Okur, who missed Wednesday's game with the flu, sat out again Thursday at San Antonio. He was feeling better, though, according to the Salt Lake Tribune, and shows no signs of the H1N1 virus.

Analysis: The Jazz play their next game Saturday against the Pistons, and Okur has a good chance of returning then. When healthy, he'll score 15-17 points and rebound just enough to function as a No. 1 center in Fantasy, especially since he hits 3-pointers

Kyrylo Fesenko started in place of Mehmet Okur, who was out with the flu on Wednesday. He had five points and three boards and obviously has no fantasy value in most leagues. Well, make that any league.

Fesenko started Wednesday night at center, but played just 19 minutes. He scored just three points and grabbed five rebounds.

Spin: Fesenko is coach Jerry Sloan's first option to replace Mehmet Okur (illness) at center this year but does not put up staggering statistics.Wed, Nov 18

Fesenko started at center tonight for the injured Mehmet Okur.

Spin: Okur mildly sprained his left ankle and knee at the beginning of Utah's game on Wednesday. He was a game time decision for tonight and shouldn't miss a lot of time.Fri, Oct 30

Andrei Kirilenko is still producing off of the bench for the Jazz, as evidenced by his 13-point, eight-rebound, three-assist, three-steal, and one-block line against the Spurs on Thursday. His minutes appear to be steady, his role calls for nice multi-category production, and he has been as consistent as they come. He's not carrying fantasy teams by any means, but you can bet there will be a number of championship squads with AK-47 anchoring the bottom of their lineup card.

Andrei Kirilenko responded to his new bench role on Wednesday with 20 points, seven rebounds, one assist, three steals, two blocks and two 3-pointers on 6-of-11 shooting. Kirilenko has been a pleasant surprise this season and is clearly more fun to own than Paul Millsap. And no, we didn't see that one coming.Related: Paul Millsap

Kirilenko scored 20 points, grabbed seven rebounds, three steals and two blocked shots in Wednesday's win.

Spin: Kirilenko has come off the bench for the past few games, but continues to play over 30 minutes. His production is still about the same as when he was a starter and is holds significant fantasy value.Wed, Nov 18

Millsap scored 20 points on excellent shooting (8-for-12 FG, 5-for-5 FT) to go with seven boards and a blocked shot on Thursday night.

Spin: Millsap is still trying to earn playing time behind and next to Carlos Boozer, and more nights like this would certainly help the campaign.Thu, Nov 19

News: Getting to play 37 minutes off the bench with C Mehmet Okur home with the flu Thursday at San Antonio, Jazz PF Paul Millsap scored 20 points, his most since he had 23 back on Oct. 30. He also had seven rebounds. He has scored in double figures in each of his last four games, but he's still averaging only 14.0 points and 5.5 rebounds during that stretch.

Analysis: Clearly, Millsap isn't the same player he was last year now that Carlos Boozer is back healthy, but when injuries afford him more playing time, he still has the ability to put up those kinds of numbers. He's worth stashing in the event Boozer gets traded, but he's just a low-end forward in Fantasy right now

Millsap scored 20 points on excellent shooting (8-for-12 FG, 5-for-5 FT) to go with seven boards and a blocked shot on Thursday night.

Deron Williams led the way for the Jazz on Thursday as Utah defeated the Spurs. Williams scored 21 points and dished 10 assists in the win.

Our View: Williams has missed some time due to injury and family issues, but he looked excellent tonight. Fantasy owners should feel confident that Williams will continue to be an elite producer all season.

Williams drained 4-of-5 3-pointers on his way to scoring 21 points Thursday night. He added 10 assists for just his third double-double of the season.

Spin: Williams is not known as a great outside shooter, even though he scored most of his points from long range Thursday. He led the Jazz to a win in San Antonio for the first time in 10 years.Fri, Nov 20

Deron Williams scored 21 points (including four 3-point buckets) and had 10 assists, three rebounds, and a steal as the Jazz ended a decade-long losing streak in San Antonio. Carlos Boozer added 18 points and 11 rebounds, and Paul Millsap also came through with 20 points off the bench. The Jazz had fallen their last 20 times in San Antonio before winning tonight, and coach Jerry Sloan joked afterward that he could cross this win off his "bucket list."

Maynor got three shots off from the field against the Spurs, but he was unable to score a point in 16 minutes of play Thursday. He was able to dish three assists and grab a rebound.

Spin: Maynor had been on a scoring splurge, averaging 17.3 points in the last three games but could not score Thursday. It appears as if he is the new backup point guard, atleast for the time being, and we could see some occasional good nights from him statistically.Fri, Nov 20

Eric Maynor was held scoreless against the Spurs on Thursday, reaching the stat sheet with just one rebound and three assists in 16 minutes of action. Coach Jerry Sloan wanted this win bad, having lost 20 straight games in San Antonio, and opted for his veterans in this one (D-Will 38 mins, Brewer 41 mins). Maynor showed his upside with Deron Williams out last week, and owners should remember that the next time an injury strikes the Jazz backcourt.

Point guard Eric Maynor, who did a nice job of filling in for Deron Williams over the weekend, had 15 points, four rebounds, six assists, a steal and a block on 5-of-11 shooting in 23 mintues Wednesday. Yes, Deron Williams played 43 minutes in this one, meaning he and Maynor, who scored 11 points in the fourth quarter, were playing together in the backcourt. Ronnie Brewer's value could be severely hurt if Maynor keeps this up, and Maynor could be worth owning if he continues to get minutes. Keep an eye on this situation.Related: Ronnie Brewer

Korver (knee) returned from a week-long training session at the Peak Performance Project in California, saying he could return by the end of November, the Salt Lake Tribune reports.

Spin: Korver said he was a lot closer to returning than he was a week ago. Initial reports had him out until sometime in December, but he feels he's ahead of schedule.Wed, Nov 18

According to Jazz beat reporter Ross Siler, Kyle Korver (knee) could return to action in about two weeks. This would escalate Korver's timetable by a couple weeks, as he was originally targeting a return date of mid-December. He's still only someone to monitor in deeper leagues, but will be a useful source of threes once he returns and gets up to speed.Source: Salt Lake Tribune
