Sarr (toe) is out for Monday's game against the Lakers.

Sarr will miss a second straight game due to left big toe injury management. Tristan Vukcevic and Justin Champagnie figure to be leaned on heavily in Sarr's absence.

Chandler will start Monday's game against Cleveland.

The Jazz are down Isaiah Collier (hamstring), Keyonte George (hamstring) and Elijah Harkless (hamstring), so Chandler is needed to make the first start of his career. The 23-year-old has played well in five appearances with Utah this season, averaging 14.6 points, 3.0 rebounds, 7.2 assists and 1.2 steals across 30.8 minutes per contest.

Edwards didn't start Monday's game against the Mavericks but checked in with 10:59 remaining in the first quarter, Jon Krawczynski of The Athletic reports.

Edwards was late getting to the floor Monday but ultimately replaced Mike Conley after just over a minute of game time. Edwards is returning from a six-game absence due to a right knee issue, and while he didn't start against Dallas, he should be good to go for the rest of the contest after checking in.

Conley will start Monday's game against the Mavericks, Jon Krawczynski of The Athletic reports.

Conley wasn't listed in the team's official starting lineup, but Krawcyznski notes that the veteran point guard was a last-minute addition to the first unit after Anthony Edwards was late coming down the tunnel. Edwards replaced Conley with 10:59 remaining in the first quarter after missing tipoff.

Ellis will start in Monday's game versus Utah.

Cleveland is down Jarrett Allen (knee), Max Strus (foot), Dean Wade (ankle) and Jaylon Tyson (toe), so Ellis will return to the starting lineup. The 26-year-old last started in Wednesday's 120-103 loss to the Heat, finishing with 17 points, two rebounds, one assist and two steals in 37 minutes of work.

Porter (groin) is available for Monday's game against the Jazz, Danny Cunningham of Sports Radio 92.3 The Fan Cleveland reports.

Porter will return to action following a seven-game absence due to a groin injury. He appeared in five games this month before going down with the injury, averaging 3.0 points, 3.2 rebounds and 1.8 assists in 14.8 minutes per appearance during that stretch.

Harkless (hamstring) has been ruled out for Monday's game against Cleveland, Ben Anderson of KSL News Salt Lake City reports.

After appearing in each of Utah's last 19 games following the All-Star break, Harkless will miss Monday's contest due to hamstring soreness. With the 26-year-old point guard joining Keyonte George (hamstring) and Isaiah Collier (hamstring) on the inactive list, Kennedy Chandler and Bez Mbeng are candidates for increased roles.

Shannon will come off the bench Monday night against the Mavericks.

Shannon added eight points, three rebounds and three assists in a spot start Saturday against the Pistons. However, he'll retreat to his usual bench role Monday with Ayo Dosunmu and Anthony Edwards returning from injury.

Jackson (ankle) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against Portland, NBA writer Justin Russo reports.

Jackson sprained his right ankle in Friday's 114-113 win over the Indiana Pacers and was subsequently ruled out for Sunday's game in Milwaukee. Without him, the Clippers may continue to rely on John Collins and Nicolas Batum to back up Brook Lopez in the middle.

Conley won't start Monday's game against the Mavericks.

With Anthony Edwards (knee) and Ayo Dosunmu (calf) returning from six- and two-game absences, respectively, Terrence Shannon and Conley will slide to the second unit. The veteran point guard isn't guaranteed to see the court Monday and has totaled 25 minutes over just three appearances off the bench since the All-Star break.
