Sensabaugh has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Grizzlies for rest purposes.

Sensabaugh will get the night off after appearing in seven straight matchups for the Jazz. John Konchar figures to be the favorite to start in Sensabaugh's place Friday evening.

Huff won't start Thursday's game against the Nets.

The 28-year-old center will retreat to the second unit in favor of Micah Potter on Thursday. Huff has averaged 7.0 points, 2.6 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.2 blocks in 19.0 minutes per tilt over his last five outings off the bench.

George (hamstring) is listed as out for Friday's game against Memphis.

George hasn't been on the floor since the 134-117 loss to the Knicks on March 11. With only one game left for Utah after Friday's meeting with the Grizzlies, it would be surprising to see George back in the lineup again this season. With Isaiah Collier (hamstring) also still sidelined, Ace Bailey could take on increased on-ball duties, while Kennedy Chandler and Bez Mbeng will likely continue seeing significant playing time.

Slawson will start Thursday's game against the Nets.

With Kobe Brown (back) sidelined, Slawson will return to the first unit. As a starter this season (four games), he has averaged 9.8 points, 5.3 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.3 blocks across 28.3 minutes per game.

Potter is in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Nets.

Potter will make his second start in three games as the Pacers are electing to move Jay Huff to a bench role. Potter performed well in his last start Sunday, ending the game with 21 points, 12 rebounds and four assists in 30 minutes.

Bailey (knee) is available for Friday's game against the Grizzlies.

Bailey took a seat for Tuesday's game against the Pelicans due to a knee issue, but he'll be back on the court Friday. The rookie forward is averaging 16.0 points, 3.8 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.2 blocks over his last five matchups.

Etienne is starting Thursday's game against the Pacers, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.

The Nets are electing to shake up the starting five Thursday, and it'll be Etienne who benefits from the change. He's seen an uptick in minutes down the stretch of the regular season, as he's averaging 8.0 points, 1.3 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.3 steals in 21.0 minutes over his last four outings.

Powell won't start Thursday's game against the Pacers, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.

Tyson Etienne will step into the starting five in the front end of this back-to-back, pushing Powell to the second unit. The rookie first-rounder has averaged 3.8 points and 1.6 rebounds in 18.4 minutes per contest over his last five appearances off the bench.

Walker (back) is available for Thursday's game against the Nets.

Walker has been cleared to play Thursday despite battling a sacral contusion. Over his last 10 appearances, the forward has averaged 14.2 points, 5.7 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 2.3 three-pointers in 28.8 minutes per contest while shooting 43.4 percent from three-point land.

Jokic (wrist) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against Oklahoma City.

Jokic hasn't missed a game in over two months. However, with the Nuggets getting ready for the playoffs, the three-time MVP might not suit up Friday. If Jokic doesn't get on the floor, Jonas Valanciunas will presumably return to the starting lineup for the first time since the 128-125 win over Utah on March 2.
