Yurtseven racked up nine points (4-8 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-1 FT), 15 rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal across 27 minutes during Saturday's 118-113 overtime victory over the Trail Blazers.

Yurtseven logged his fifth consecutive start Saturday, boosting his fantasy value while the Jazz continue to bring Walker Kessler off the bench. Although Kessler is healthy and has logged significant time off the bench, he has yet to win back his slot in the starting lineup after his seven-game absence. Yurtseven has averaged only 5.6 points per game since taking over, but sublime rebound totals have kept him relevant.

Zeller provided four points (1-4 FG, 2-2 FT) and four rebounds over 12 minutes during Saturday's 124-118 loss to the Bulls.

Zeller scored four points in 12 minutes, having now played at least that much in three straight games. Despite featuring in the rotation on a most consistent basis, Zeller provides very little outside of rebounds. He could be utilized for streaming purposes in deeper formats but would need an injury to Jonas Valanciunas to have any chance at 12-team success.

Robinson racked up 16 points (7-11 FG, 2-2 3Pt), five rebounds and three assists in 29 minutes during Saturday's 144-129 loss to Indiana.

Bam Adebayo missed Saturday's contest due to a hip injury, giving Robinson the chance to make his first start of the campaign. Robinson took advantage of the opportunity, posting a season-high point total on an efficient shooting line that including a perfect 2-for-2 mark from beyond the arc. The big man has drained all four of his three-point attempts this season and was a respectable but not prolific deep shooter in college, so it will be interesting to see how much of that is part of his NBA repertoire. With Adebayo ruled out until at least next Friday, Robinson should get an extended opportunity to make an impression for at least another game.

Turner notched 17 points (8-12 FG, 1-4 3Pt), 10 rebounds, one assist and two blocks in 30 minutes during Saturday's 144-129 victory over the Heat.

Turner struggled with a 5-for-14 shooting line against Miami in his previous game, but he was much more efficient Saturday in a contest during which the Pacers combined to shoot a ridiculous 65.9 percent from the field as a team. The big man added a team-high 10 boards in the win to finish with his fourth double-double of the campaign. With two blocks Saturday, Turner has collected at least one swat in 12 straight contests, and he ranks sixth in the league with 2.1 blocks per game.

Reid finished with 23 points (9-14 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, two assists and one steal across 25 minutes during Saturday's 123-117 victory over Charlotte.

This was Reid's second-highest scoring game of the season, his best mark since Oct. 28 (25 points). Reid was held to six points Thursday against the Jazz with Anthony Edwards (hip) on the shelf, but he bounced back in a big way Saturday with Edwards sidelined once again. Reid has now scored in double figures in three of his last four games with averages of 14.0 points, 5.3 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 1.8 three-pointers.

Gobert finished Saturday's 123-117 win over Charlotte with 26 points (10-12 FG, 6-9 FT), 12 rebounds and three blocks over 39 minutes.

Gobert was carrying a questionable tag into Saturday's game, but he certainly didn't look limited in the win. Gobert's 26 points mark a new season high, and it was nine points higher than his previous best (17). Anthony Edwards (hip) missed his second straight contest, so Gobert picked up a lot of the slack, finishing 10-of-12 from the field. He has also been dominant on the defensive end lately, averaging 3.3 blocks over his last three contests.

Robinson will join the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Pacers.

Bam Adebayo will not play Saturday due to his lingering hip issue, and he'll also miss Wednesday's game against Toronto. Thomas Bryant hasn't made the most of his opportunities in recent games, so Robinson has a big chance in front of him to impress.

Adebayo (hip) won't travel to face the Raptors next Wednesday, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Adebayo has already been ruled out of facing the Pacers on Saturday, and the issue is severe enough to keep him out for the team's upcoming game against the Raptors on Wednesday next week as well. His earliest chance to return will come against the Cavaliers next Friday, and the next few days will be pivotal to determining a more specific timetable for his return.

Looney will play a reserve role in Saturday's tilt against the Clippers, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports.

Looney will come off the bench in favor of Dario Saric, as head coach Steve Kerr will opt to go with a smaller lineup to spread the floor. The big man has averaged 7.5 points and 11.5 rebounds across 25.5 minutes in two games off the bench this season.

Gobert (hip) is available for Saturday's game against the Hornets, Alan Horton of the Timberwolves Radio Network reports.

Gobert was a late addition to the Timberwolves' injury report due to left hip soreness. It looks like he is feeling good enough to give it a go after testing things out. Barring any setbacks, look for the big man to take on his usual role at center.
