Hinson (two-way) is listed out Friday for the Jazz's game against the Trail Blazers.
Per the terms of his two-way contract, Hinson is eligible to suit up in eight of the Jazz's remaining 16 games, so Utah will opt to hold him out for Friday's contest in order to manage his availability down the stretch. With Hinson set to be inactive for a second straight game, 10-day signee Andersson Garcia is likely to stick in the rotation after playing 25 minutes in his NBA debut during Wednesday's loss to the Knicks.

Jazz's Blake Hinson: Drains go-ahead three in win
Rotowire
Hinson finished Monday's 119-116 win over the Warriors with 12 points (4-9 FG, 4-9 3Pt), two rebounds and one assist across 28 minutes.
Hinson was a three-point dynamo in the win, with his last three-pointer sealing the upset win. The Pittsburgh product has played only eight games for the parent club, so his two-way contract will probably allow him to stick around until the end of the season. He's posted adequate numbers off the bench, averaging 9.4 points, 2.4 rebounds and 0.8 assists with the Jazz. Hinson saw increased action Monday due to Ace Bailey and Isaiah Collier missing this contest due to illness.
