Rotowire
Niang (foot) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Cavaliers.
Niang has yet to make his season debut as he recovers from a fourth metatarsal stress reaction in his left foot, and he remains without a timetable for a return. The veteran forward should be considered week-to-week until the Jazz offer an update on his progress.

Jazz's Jusuf Nurkic: Probable to return Monday
Rotowire
Nurkic (toe) is listed as probable for Monday's game against the Cavaliers.
Nurkic is trending toward returning Monday from a two-game absence due to a toe sprain, and his return would likely result in Kevin Love reverting to a bench role. Nurkic has appeared in just 12 of 19 games since Dec. 1 due to injury, and over that span he has averaged 14.3 points, 10.3 rebounds, 4.8 assists, 0.8 threes and 0.9 steals over 27.9 minutes per game.

Jazz's Lauri Markkanen: Will play Monday
Rotowire
Markkanen (rest) is not being listed on the injury report ahead of Monday's matchup with the Cavs.
Markkanen took a rest day Saturday, but he'll be back in action Monday evening, which will likely shift Taylor Hendricks back to the second unit. Jusuf Nurkic (toe) is also on track to play, so with both Nurkic and Markkanen active, Kyle Anderson could drop from the rotation entirely.

Jazz's Ace Bailey: Iffy for Monday
Rotowire
Bailey (hip) is questionable for Monday's game against Cleveland.
Bailey has missed seven of Utah's last eight games due to a left hip flexor strain, though he'll have a shot at returning Monday. The rookie first-rounder will likely face a minutes restriction if he's cleared to play, though his presence would leave fewer minutes available for Cody Williams and Svi Mykhailiuk.
Jazz's Brice Sensabaugh: Drops season-high 26 points in loss

Sensabaugh accumulated 26 points (9-16 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 5-6 FT) and three rebounds in 30 minutes during Saturday's 150-95 loss to Charlotte.
With Lauri Markkanen (rest), Ace Bailey (hip) and Jusuf Nurkic (toe) unavailable, Sensabaugh stepped up on the offensive end, albeit in a blowout loss. The 22-year-old swingman set a new season-high mark in points, scoring at least 20 for the fifth time across 37 regular-season outings (nine starts). Sensabaugh has scored in double figures in five of his last six games (all starts), averaging 15.5 points, 3.8 rebounds and 2.2 assists in 29.0 minutes per contest over that stretch.

Jazz's Isaiah Collier: Nears double-double in loss
Rotowire
Collier finished with 17 points (8-16 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), nine assists, two steals and one rebound in 34 minutes during Saturday's 150-95 loss to Charlotte.
After totaling 13 points and 11 assists in his previous two appearances. Collier finished one assist shy of a double-double, albeit in a blowout loss.

Jazz's Cody Williams: Chips in 15 points in loss
Rotowire
Williams finished Saturday's 150-95 loss to Charlotte with 15 points (5-9 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-5 FT) and two rebounds in 32 minutes.
Williams got the starting nod for a second consecutive contest and finished as Utah's third-leading scorer on efficient shooting from the field. However, he also recorded an abysmal minus-60 point differential. The second-year forward has logged double-digit minutes in eight straight games, though Ace Bailey's (hip) eventual return to action and a normal workload should significantly eat into Williams' minutes.
Hendricks will start against the Hornets on Saturday.
With Lauri Markkanen (rest) sitting out Saturday's contest, Hendricks will enter the starting five. In five starts so far this season, the 22-year-old forward has averaged 4.8 points and 4.4 rebounds in 18.2 minutes per contest.
