Fantasy Basketball Pickups: Isaiah Collier, Kyle Filipowski Stand Out for Jazz

The Utah Jazz, despite missing key players, managed to secure a strong lead over the New Orleans Pelicans. However, a late comeback saw the Pelicans win 123-119. The Jazz, currently last in the Western Conference, are giving more minutes to players with lower roster percentages, with impressive performances from rookies Isaiah Collier and Kyle Filipowski.

Isaiah Collier (19% rostered) posted 20 points, 11 assists, 3 rebounds, one steal, and one 3-pointer in the loss to New Orleans, marking his third straight game in double-digit assists. Kyle Filipowski (2% rostered), also a rookie, recorded a career-high 17 rebounds, 10 points, one assist, and one 3-pointer in 38 minutes off the bench. Additionally, Svi Mykhailiuk (1% rostered) contributed 19 points, four rebounds, two blocks, and four 3-pointers in 26 minutes. With Utah’s current record of 10-31, players like Lauri Markkanen, John Collins, and Collin Sexton may see more rest, making Collier, Filipowski, and Brice Sensabaugh players to target for fantasy basketball.

De’Andre Hunter had an impressive outing against the Knicks, scoring 22 points, including four 3-pointers. Although he recorded limited stats outside of scoring, Hunter has provided consistent value in 9-cat leagues. He has scored 20 or more points in 17 of his 29 games this season, making him a reliable option in standard leagues.

SG/SF Malik Beasley (37%) – Detroit Pistons

Malik Beasley has stepped up since Jaden Ivey’s injury. He averaged 15.8 points, 3.2 3-pointers, and 1.4 steals per game. In Monday’s win over Houston, Beasley contributed 17 points, three 3-pointers, one assist, and two steals in 30 minutes. He is a solid option for managers looking for points, 3-pointers, or steals.

SF/PF Jaden McDaniels (34%) – Minnesota Timberwolves

Jaden McDaniels has recently provided excellent value outside of scoring. In Minnesota’s loss to Memphis, McDaniels recorded 11 points, 12 rebounds, two steals, two blocks, and one 3-pointer in 42 minutes. He has been a consistent contributor in defense, with at least four defensive stats (steals or blocks) in four of his last six games.

PG/SG Nick Smith Jr. (6%) – Charlotte Hornets

With Brandon Miller out, Nick Smith Jr. has stepped into a starting role. He scored 19 points, hit five 3-pointers, and added three rebounds, one assist, and one steal in Monday’s win against Dallas. Smith is shooting 53.3% from three in his two starts and could see extended playing time, making him a valuable option for fantasy managers looking for scoring and 3-pointers.
