Jazz's Keyonte George: Productive from second unit
Keyonte George closed Friday's 129-93 loss to the Nuggets with 18 points (5-17 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 6-6 FT), four rebounds, four assists and one steal over 35 minutes off the bench.With Jordan Clarkson (foot) done for the year, George saw his biggest workload since he played 37 minutes in an OT loss to the Clippers on Feb. 13. The second-year guard has scored in double digits in five of seven games since returning from a foot injury, averaging 14.9 points, 4.7 assists, 3.3 boards and 1.9 threes over that stretch. His usage seems likely to increase over the final weeks of the season, with Clarkson's 13.3 FG attempts a game up for grabs.

Jazz's Keyonte George: Produces solid totals from bench
Keyonte George finished Thursday's 121-110 loss to the Rockets with 17 points (5-11 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 7-7 FT), three rebounds and eight assists in 29 minutes.George has handled increased work with aplomb during his second season with the Utah Jazz. He's stepped into the first unit 32 times, and it appears he might be one trade away from taking over a starting role in the backcourt next season. His shot could use a bit more seasoning, but he hasn't been shy about heaving it up at the perimeter. He's averaging 7.4 three-point attempts per game with a conversion percentage of 34.6 percent.

Jazz's Keyonte George: Shines off the bench with 19 points
Keyonte George finished Friday's 121-99 loss to the Celtics with 19 points (7-16 FG, 5-9 3Pt), four rebounds and seven assists over 33 minutes.George has been a bright spot during a disappointing season. He's followed up a promising freshman campaign with a productive sophomore campaign, averaging 16.9 points, 5.8 assists and 3.8 rebounds over 56 games. Given the backcourt depth George provides, the Utah Jazz may elect to make some roster moves in the offseason that could make him an everyday starter next year.

Jazz's Keyonte George: Efficient 20 points off bench
Keyonte George ended with 20 points (7-12 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds and four assists over 29 minutes during Wednesday's 128-112 win over Washington.Perhaps most notably, George was able to play a team-high 29 minutes while Utah limited the playing time of their available veterans Wednesday. It's unknown if the second-year guard is at risk of receiving similar maintenance going forward that the other Utah Jazz stars have gotten, but his playing time was certainly encouraging in this one. Across six outings in March, George has averaged 19.8 points, 4.3 assists, 4.0 rebounds, 1.0 steals and 2.7 three-pointers in 30.2 minutes.
