Down by four in the fourth, the Jazz scored nine in a row, capped by Malik Beasley's 3-pointer to take the lead for good. The Clippers scored the first seven points of the third to pull into a 63-all tie. Markkanen scored 11 of Utah's points in the spurt when he made all five of his free-throw attempts.

Follow the advice below on buying low, selling high, and everything in between to capitalize on bettering your squad. Collin Sexton, JazzPoaching Sexton from an impatient fantasy manager would be a coup for the acquirer of Young Bull. Powell has connected on 41.0 percent of his triples over the last three seasons, averaging 17.9 points per game. Lopez will never be the center of a trade, but now is a suitable window to gauge interest. The motivation to sell high stems from an unsustainable block rate and his tendency to lull in production at times.

From Jalen Brunson to Collin Sexton to Kelly Oubre Jr., here are 10 players who are currently undervalued in Yahoo fantasy basketball drafts. Jalen Brunson, Knicks (Overall ADP 65.0)Away from the league-leading usage rate of Luka Doncic, Brunson will have the ball in his hands more than ever. Keldon Johnson, Spurs (Overall ADP 72.2)San Antonio is arguably in the deepest rebuild of any team, and Johnson projects as the No. Kyle Lowry, Heat (Overall ADP 103.7)The veteran isn’t a breakout candidate like other players on this list, but he’s being slept on. Kelly Oubre Jr., Hornets (Overall ADP 138.7)The absence of Miles Bridges opens up tons of usage in Charlotte.

A dramatic roster overhaul has left the Utah Jazz with a load of new faces entering this season. Utah traded Royce O’Neale, Rudy Gobert, Donovan Mitchell, and Bojan Bogdanovic in separate deals over the summer, effectively tearing down a team that endured a series of disappointing early playoff exits. Following that flurry of offseason moves, Mike Conley, Jordan Clarkson, and Rudy Gay are the only returning players who played significant minutes last season.

The aforementioned names are key contributors on their teams and will likely pick up where they left off this season. However, the following list features players poised to make a leap or burst onto the scene. You'll have to pay up for Edwards in drafts as he's currently going in the late second or early third round on Yahoo. As a rookie last season, Wagner averaged 15.2 points, 4.5 rebounds, 2.9 assists and 1.3 combined steals-plus-blocks. However, his next season in Charlotte was terrible, with Martin shooting 25.6% from beyond the arc (31-of-121).

Of course, some players' injuries are more severe than others, and each player's individual history must be heavily considered. Zion Williamson, New Orleans PelicansWilliamson missed the entire 2021-22 season after suffering a fractured fifth metatarsal in his foot during the offseason. Even if he avoids a third significant injury, 60-65 games played seems like a best-case scenario. He has averaged 26.3 games missed per season since being drafted and that is despite playing in a career-high 78 games last year. A return sometime around Christmas seems likely and fantasy managers should anticipate more games missed when he does return.

CLEVELAND — (AP) — With one bold, unexpected move, the Cleveland Cavaliers raised their profile in the Eastern Conference considerably. The Cavs made official Saturday their acquisition of three-time All-Star guard Donovan Mitchell in a trade with Utah, and can start figuring out ways to best integrate his talents into their young core. Cleveland sent guard Collin Sexton, forward Lauri Markkanen and rookie guard Ochai Agbaji to Utah along with unprotected first-round draft picks in 2025, 2027 and 2029. “The acquisition of Donovan Mitchell presented us with an incredible opportunity to bring one of the NBA’s most dynamic young All-Stars to Cleveland,” said Koby Altman, the Cavaliers' president of basketball operations. Utah also dealt All-Star center and defensive force Rudy Gobert to Minnesota in July for a slew of draft picks.

The Cavaliers are back in the Eastern Conference title hunt.

CLEVELAND — (AP) — Donovan Mitchell is headed east. The All-Star guard is on his way to the Cleveland Cavaliers, who acquired one of the NBA's best scorers Thursday in a blockbuster trade with the Utah Jazz, a person familiar with the deal told The Associated Press. There had been speculation for months that Mitchell might get moved, and it appeared the New York Knicks were the frontrunner for him. Mitchell, who averaged 25.9 points per game last season, will pair with All-Star point guard Darius Garland and he'll play along with All-Star center Jarett Allen and forward Evan Mobley, who had a strong rookie season. He's a proven scorer but he became expendable for Cleveland due to Garland's development and the club's talented frontline.

He'll make about $137 million over the next three seasons, before the extension begins. Lillard is a six-time All-Star who has spent all 10 of his NBA seasons in Portland. Lillard, who turns 32 on July 15, also said the mental break was helpful, along with the physical rest.

(AP Photo/Tony Dejak)CLEVELAND – Not himself of late, Jamal Murray got a lecture from Nuggets coach Michael Malone about being more aggressive and not passing up open shots. Following the game, Murray was unaware that he had done something unique. “With the exception of Murray, we took some steps in the right direction,” Cavs coach J.B. Bickerstaff said. They made their first 12 shots, opened a 22-point lead in the second half and then let Murray close out the Cavs.

(AP Photo/Tony Dejak)NEW YORK – The NBA said one player tested positive for coronavirus in the past week, meaning only two have gotten that diagnosis in the last three weeks. The total for the season in the NBA is up to 92, but of those, 48 — or 52% — tested positive in November, before training camps officially opened. The NBA reported one positive test for the weekly period ending Jan. 26, and no positive tests for the period ending Feb. 3. Minnesota’s Karl-Anthony Towns — who has missed 13 games — tested positive last month and his recovery is nearly complete. The NBA does not reveal which players test positive for COVID-19, but Milwaukee’s Khris Middleton said earlier this week that Bucks guard Jrue Holiday tested positive for the virus.

Cleveland Cavaliers' Larry Nance Jr. (22) steals a pass intended for Brooklyn Nets' Kyrie Irving (11) during the first half of an NBA basketball game, Wednesday, Jan. 20, 2021, in Cleveland. Sexton scored 15 points in the second OT — most of them over Irving — for the Cavs, who outplayed the Nets all night. Before the game, Nets first-year coach Steve Nash admitted being “curious” about how his trio of superstars would align on the floor. In the second quarter, Sexton ran back on defense and cleanly flicked the ball away from Durant as he was going in on a breakaway dunk. Irving's return to the Nets was also just his second game in Cleveland since he was traded by the Cavs after the 2017 season.

The Magic confirmed the ACL injury after the game and said Fultz would miss the rest of the season. Fultz signed a three-year, $50 million extension last month and was finally showing the promise that made him the No. 1 overall pick in the 2017 draft as he led the Magic to a quick start this season. Terrence Ross scored 20 points and hit five 3-pointers to lead the Magic, who beat the Cavaliers for a second time in three nights. Collin Sexton scored 21 points for Cleveland, his eighth straight game with at least 20 points to start the season.

Gordon broke out of a shooting slump Monday night, hitting six of nine 3-pointers on the way to a season-high 24 points as the Magic beat the Cleveland Cavaliers 103-83.

Khem Birch added 12 points and 12 rebounds, while rookie guard Cole Anthony added nine points, five rebounds and four assists.
