Sochan finished with eight points (4-6 FG), eight rebounds, two assists and one steal across 21 minutes in Monday's 119-66 preseason victory over the London Lions.

Working under a non-guaranteed contract, Sochan is vying for a roster spot with Portland this fall. Even if he breaks training camp with the Trail Blazers, Sochan wouldn't be a lock for an Opening Night role.

Krejci finished with 10 points (3-6 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five assists, two rebounds and three steals across 21 minutes in Monday's 119-66 preseason victory over the London Lions.

Krejci is looking to stave off Sidy Cissoko and Jeremy Sochan for an Opening Night role this preseason. He's unlikely to carry much fantasy appeal while Damian Lillard, Ja Morant and Jrue Holiday are all healthy for Portland.

Cissoko finished with 13 points (5-5 FG, 3-3 3Pt), three assists, two rebounds and two steals across 15 minutes in Monday's 119-66 preseason victory over the London Lions.

Cissoko maximized his minutes Monday, turning in a perfect shooting performance. He's auditioning for a spot in Portland's Opening Night rotation, contending mainly with Vit Krejci and Jeremy Sochan for playing time.

Holiday finished with six points (3-5 FG, 0-2 3Pt), five rebounds and three assists across 15 minutes in Monday's 119-66 preseason victory over the London Lions.

The veteran point guard got the start in place of the resting Damian Lillard on Monday. Holiday is expected to handle a reserve role once the regular season begins, but he could still push to play 30 minutes per game while Shaedon Sharpe (knee) is on the shelf.

Sensabaugh closed with 11 points (3-7 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT), one steal, two rebounds and two assists across 15 minutes in Monday's 119-109 preseason win over the Spurs.

Sensabaugh was solid off the bench Monday. He's ticketed for a reserve role to begin this year after spending some time as a starter for an injury-plagued Jazz team late last season.

Barlow (back) was unable to practice Tuesday, Noah Levick of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

Barlow has missed the entire preseason so far and remains without a timetable to return. He can be considered questionable at best for Friday's preseason finale against Boston.

Hayes contributed 11 points (4-5 FG, 3-4 FT) and two rebounds across 15 minutes in Monday's 119-109 preseason win over the Spurs.

Hayes appears to be the favorite to start for the Jazz this season while Jusuf Nurkic (foot) is sidelined. That said, Utah could mix and match based on matchups and deploy Ace Bailey in the first unit at times.

Larsson (illness) is doubtful for Wednesday's preseason game against the Nets, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Although he's trending in the right direction, Larsson hinted that he's going to take things slow as he's still dealing with some lingering headaches. Assuming he sits Wednesday, he will have the opportunity to play in one more exhibition Friday.

Markkanen contributed 11 points (3-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), two assists, two steals and one rebound across 19 minutes in Monday's 119-109 preseason win over the Spurs.

Markkanen, who's set to be a primary scoring option for Utah this year, overcame a neck injury to suit up for this exhibition. Fantasy managers should feel more comfortable drafting the star forward at his ADP this fall now that he's healthy.

Champagnie supplied 14 points (5-13 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds, one steal and one block over 26 minutes in Monday's 119-109 preseason loss to Utah.

The sharpshooter appears to be competing with Dylan Harper for the Spurs' final starting spot to begin the season. That said, Tobias Harris (calf) should pose another threat to playing time for Champagnie once he's healthy.
