Jazz's Malik Beasley: Improved offensive showing
Rotowire
Beasley chipped in 15 points (6-15 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two rebounds, three assists and two steals in 27 minutes during Sunday's 123-118 loss to Memphis.
Beasley led the Jazz bench with 15 points in the loss, a much better effort when compared to his previous outing. He remains a steady source of points off the bench, and should Kelly Olynyk be forced to miss time due to his ankle injury, Beasley could be in for a slight bump. He certainly warrants attention in standard leagues, although must-roster status might be taking things a bit too far.

Jazz's Malik Beasley: Supplies 16 points from bench
Rotowire
Beasley chipped in 16 points (5-12 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 3-3 FT), six rebounds, two assists, two steals and one block across 31 minutes during Tuesday's 117-115 loss to the Kings.
Beasley did a little bit of everything and enjoyed one of his better all-around stat lines of the season in the narrow loss. He's usually the first man up with the second unit and is a dependable source of three-point production, but he's also upped his defensive contributions in 2022-23. Beasley is averaging a career-high 0.9 thefts per contest.

Jazz's Malik Beasley: Struggles with efficiency in loss
Rotowire
Beasley posted seven points (3-12 FG, 1-8 3Pt), three rebounds and one assist across 23 minutes during Wednesday's 112-107 loss to the Warriors.
Beasley's recent performances highlight why he's considered one of the league's streakiest scorers. He is shooting 7-of-28 from the field over his last two games after going 16-of-32 in the two prior.

Jazz's Malik Beasley: Paces Jazz with 25 points in win
Rotowire
Beasley closed Thursday's 120-112 victory over the Wizards with 25 points (9-17 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 4-5 FT), two rebounds and four steals in 26 minutes.
Beasley had the hot hand in the win, popping for a team-high 25 points. After a slow start to his Jazz career, Beasley has established himself as a key piece off the bench, providing 14.5 points per game to go with 3.3 triples and 0.9 steals per game. He sits just outside the top 100 in 12-team formats, making him a viable backend asset for anyone desperate for scoring.

Jazz's Malik Beasley: Dazzles from deep once again
Rotowire
Beasley finished with 18 points (6-12 FG, 6-10 3Pt) and three rebounds in 28 minutes during Saturday's 123-97 loss to the Bucks.
Beasley was one of Utah's best players despite coming off the bench, and he was particularly dangerous from deep as the six made three-pointers represents a season high. He's made at least four treys in each of his last six games and is hitting 43.8 percent from beyond the arc (28-for-64) in that span. He's also scored more than 15 points in six games in a row.

Jazz's Malik Beasley: Drains four treys
Rotowire
Beasley finished with 17 points (6-15 FG, 4-11 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one block across 26 minutes in Thursday's 132-129 overtime win over the Pelicans.
Beasley has come off the bench for the past two games in the wake of Lauri Markkanen returning to the lineup, but the shift to the second unit hasn't hampered Beasley too much from a playing-time perspective. Of course, his minutes could become murkier when Collin Sexton (hamstring) rejoins the mix. Still, at the very least, Beasley should make for an excellent streaming option for three-pointers, particularly on nights like Thursday with a low volume of games. Beasley has drilled either four or five treys in each of his last five outings.

Rotowire
Beasley chipped in 23 points (9-18 FG, 5-12 3Pt, 0-1 FT), four rebounds, one assist and two steals over 36 minutes during Friday's 118-108 loss to Minnesota.
Beasley hit his first three shots of the game, two of which came from beyond the arc, for eight first-quarter points to lead the Jazz. He added 12 points in the second half on 5-of-9 shooting, four rebounds and two steals as Utah fell to the Timberwolves at home. His 23 points led the team; it was just his fourth time reaching the 20-point mark this season.

Jazz's Malik Beasley: Struggles with efficiency in win
Rotowire
Beasley had three points (1-9 FG, 1-7 3Pt), two rebounds, three assists and one steal across 19 minutes during Wednesday's 125-112 win over the Clippers.
Beasley is now a combined 5-for-22 from the field and 4-for-18 from three in his last two games. However, on the season, he is shooting 41.9 percent and 39.4 percent, respectively. Fantasy managers should expect inconsistency from Beasley, who has always been a streaky shooter.

Jazz's Malik Beasley: Posts big double-double Wednesday
Rotowire
Beasley recorded 29 points (9-18 FG, 8-15 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 11 rebounds and five assists over 29 minutes during Wednesday's 125-116 loss to Detroit.
Beasley struggled in his previous contest, going just 2-for-11 from the field en route to six points. He was much better Wednesday, making a season-high eight triples and recording his second 29-point performance in his past three games. Beasley also impressed on the boards, finishing with a career-best 11 rebounds to register his first double-double of the campaign.

Jazz's Malik Beasley: Scores team-high 29 points
Rotowire
Beasley provided 29 points (10-18 FG, 6-14 3Pt, 3-3 FT), three rebounds and one assist across 27 minutes during Saturday's 118-113 victory over the Trail Blazers.
Beasley hit timely buckets and led the Jazz in scoring during a narrow win. He's surpassed the 25-point mark in each of his last two appearances off the bench while going 13-for-27 from deep in that span, and he's been one of the best long-range shooters in the league so far, making 43 percent of his treys and attempting a blistering 7.5 per contest. Mike Conley (knee) left Saturday's game injured and could potentially miss a game or two, but it remains to be seen if Beasley will be the one who replaces him in the starting unit. Beasley's averaging 14.3 points when coming off the bench as opposed to 12.0 points per tilt in his two games as a starter.

Jazz's Malik Beasley: Hot shooting night
Rotowire
Beasley provided 27 points (10-17 FG, 7-13 3Pt), three rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal in 31 minutes during Friday's 134-133 victory over the Suns.
Beasley hit a season-high seven three-pointers on 53.8 percent shooting from beyond the arc. The 25-year-old had an extremely inconsistent start to the season, but over the past six games, he's put together some efficient shooting numbers, averaging 17.8 points on 51 percent from the field. However, scoring is really all you get from Beasley, so when he isn't knocking down shots, he loses almost all of his fantasy value.

Jazz's Malik Beasley: Enjoys solid scoring off bench
Rotowire
Beasley notched 18 points (6-13 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, two assists and one steal in 29 minutes during Sunday's 105-98 loss to Philadelphia.
Beasley continues to fire away from downtown, and his squad is happy to provide him the opportunity to do so after knocking down four or more shots from deep in four straight contests. The Florida State product had a tough start to November after scoring 12 total points in his first two games, but he's finished in double figures in five games since and has turned in solid rebounding numbers along the way.

Jazz's Malik Beasley: Big night from beyond arc
Rotowire
Beasley registered 18 points (6-11 FG, 6-10 3Pt), six rebounds, one assist and two steals in 29 minutes during Wednesday's 125-119 win over the Hawks.
Beasley returned to a bench role Wednesday after starting the previous two games, but it led to an increase in shot volume (11 attempts after just eight in two starts) and finished with solid efficiency, knocking down six of his 11 shots from the field, including six of his 10 attempts from deep. With Jarred Vanderbilt presumably maintaining his starting spot, Beasley should continue to showcase his shooting skills off the bench.

Jazz's Malik Beasley: Manages 10 points in spot start
Rotowire
Beasley closed Sunday's 110-102 victory over the Clippers with 10 points (3-8 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and four rebounds over 31 minutes.
Filling in for Jarred Vanderbilt (groin), Beasley's 10 points fell just shy of his season average, but he struggled from three-point range Sunday. It's possible Beasley will get more opportunities with the starting unit if Vanderbilt's absence extends beyond one game, but he will remain a streaming option at best for fantasy purposes. Through 11 games, Beasley is averaging 10.6 points and 3.1 rebounds per contest while shooting 37.5 percent behind the three-point arc.

Jazz's Malik Beasley: Reaches new season high in scoring
Rotowire
Beasley poured in 18 points (7-12 FG, 4-9 3Pt) and added four rebounds and four assists in 26 minutes Monday in the Jazz's 121-105 win over the Grizzlies.
After coming up empty from distance in a loss Friday in Denver, Beasley has bounced back by drilling eight treys between his last two games. He supplemented his season-high scoring haul with some contributions in the rebounds and assists columns, but Beasley typically can't be relied upon to provide fantasy managers aid in those areas. Instead, the 25-year-old should be viewed mostly as a streaming option for points and three-pointers.
