Jazz's Brice Sensabaugh: Role continues to increase in loss
Rotowire
Sensabaugh had 22 points (8-14 FG, 6-9 3Pt), seven rebounds, four assists and one steal across 30 minutes during Tuesday's 129-113 loss to the Cavaliers.
We've likely seen the last of Lauri Markkanen (shoulder) this season, giving Sensabaugh all he can handle as his rookie season draws to a close. The Ohio State product scored 22 points for the second consecutive game, matching the season-high total he accumulated against the Kings on Sunday.
Sensabaugh provided 22 points (6-14 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 5-6 FT), four rebounds, three assists and two steals across 34 minutes during Sunday's 127-106 loss to Sacramento.
With the season coming to a close, the Jazz will dive deep into their roster to see what they have, and Sensabaugh has benefited. The 2023 first-round pick has played with the first unit several times over the past couple of weeks thanks to Lauri Markkanen's (shoulder) absence, and the former seems to have a secure future in Utah's plans. Markkanen appears to be shut down for the season, so we will likely see some respectable stat lines from Sensabaugh as the season winds down.

Jazz's Brice Sensabaugh: Goes scoreless in starting role
Rotowire
Sensabaugh ended with zero points (0-8 FG, 0-7 3Pt), four rebounds, five assists and one steal over 25 minutes during Friday's 101-100 loss to the Rockets.
Sensabaugh replaced Lauri Markkanen (shoulder) in the starting lineup Friday but looked quite bad, going scoreless and not making enough contributions in peripheral stats. He looked outmatched while dealing with the frontcourt of Jabari Smith and Dillon Brooks, and it remains to be seen if he'll remain in a starting role when the Jazz take on the Kings on Sunday.

Jazz's Brice Sensabaugh: Moves to bench
Rotowire
Sensabaugh will come off the bench for Thursday's game against the Mavericks.
Sensabaugh's move to the second unit comes as no surprise, as Lauri Markkanen (quadricep) is back in the lineup after sitting out Wednesday's loss to the Thunder in what amounted to maintenance in the front end of a back-to-back set. Despite the demotion to the bench Thursday, Sensabaugh is likely to have a key role for the remainder of the season.

Jazz's Brice Sensabaugh: Returning to bench Monday
Rotowire
Sensabaugh will come off the bench for Monday's game against Minnesota, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
Sensabaugh's run as a starter across Utah's last five contests yielded 11.0 points, 5.8 rebounds and 2.4 assists while posting 48.9 percent shooting on 9.0 shots in 28.0 minutes per game. Lauri Markkanen's (quad) return following a six-game absence will likely resort Sensabaugh to a 15-to-20 minute role.

Jazz's Brice Sensabaugh: Thrives in first career start
Rotowire
Sensabaugh had 15 points (5-8 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 12 rebounds and one assist over 30 minutes during Wednesday's 119-117 loss to the Bulls.
Sensabaugh made the first start of his career due to the absence of Taylor Hendricks (toe), and even though one game is not enough to draw any conclusions, there's no question he looked impressive on both ends of the court. Sensabaugh posted season-high marks in both points and rebounds, and he might remain in the first unit if Hendricks is unable to recover ahead of Saturday's matchup against the Nuggets.

Jazz's Brice Sensabaugh: Scores six points in 13 minutes
Rotowire
Sensabaugh amassed six points (2-4 FG, 2-3 3Pt) over 13 minutes during Saturday's 126-120 loss to the Heat.
Sensabaugh played at least 13 minutes for the fifth straight game, continuing to serve as a meaningful part of the rotation. Although his production has been slightly underwhelming, he is a player to watch as we near the climax of the regular season. If he hits the 28-minute mark, he could be worth adding, even in standard leagues.

Jazz's Brice Sensabaugh: Questionable for Monday
Rotowire
Sensabaugh (hip) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Warriors.
Sensabaugh missed Thursday's 129-115 loss to the Suns with the same injury and could be at risk of being sidelined again Monday. Prior to sustaining the hip issue, Sensabaugh hadn't been included in Utah's rotation, but he may have a clearer path to playing time in the second half of the season after the Jazz shipped out two rotation players (Kelly Olynyk and Ochai Agbaji) at the trade deadline and didn't take any back in return.

Jazz's Brice Sensabaugh: Ruled out Thursday
Rotowire
Sensabaugh (hip) has been ruled out for Thursday's game versus the Suns.
The rookie first-round draft pick hadn't made an appearance for the Jazz since Jan. 12, but if he had been healthy Thursday, he might have had a chance to feature in the rotation while the roster is in flux following the trade deadline. Sensabaugh could be ready to play Monday against the Warriors, but the Jazz may not have minutes available for him by that point.
