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: Returns to bench
Rotowire
Beasely is not in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Hawks, Lauren L. Williams of MLive.com reports.
Jarred Vanderbilt's return to the starting lineup means that Beasley will resume his bench role. Beasley has averaged 10.9 points, 3.0 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 0.9 steals in 24.7 minutes across 12 games this season.

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.

Jazz's Malik Beasley: Impressive showing off bench
Rotowire
Beasley totaled 14 points (5-12 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, one assist, one block and four steals over 30 minutes during Wednesday's 109-101 win over the Rockets.
Beasley finished in double figures in the scoring column for the fourth time in five games as he continues to enjoy a strong start to the 2022-23 season. The guard received more playing time than usual due to Collin Sexton's (oblique) absence Wednesday night, so it wouldn't be a surprise to see his minutes decrease at least slightly once Sexton is cleared to return.

Jazz's Malik Beasley: Scores 15 with 13 shots
Rotowire
Beasley supplied 15 points (5-13 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, one assist and one steal across 25 minutes during Wednesday's 123-102 victory over the Nuggets.
Although Beasley needed 13 shots to score 15 points, he still looked quite good as the Jazz pulled one of the biggest upsets of Opening Night with their win over the Nuggets. Beasley's role in the future is not completely clear yet, but it wouldn't be surprising if he ends up moving to a starting role as the season progresses.

Jazz's Malik Beasley: Off injury report
Rotowire
Beasley (ankle) is off the injury report for Wednesday's season opener against the Nuggets.
Beasley is healed from an ankle sprain and will start the year healthy with a chance to prove himself on the rebuilding Jazz. Whether or not he starts or comes off the bench, Beasley has upside to be a top-100 fantasy player if Utah gives him minutes in the upper-20s and lets him expand his game beyond being a pure three-point shooter. At the very least, managers should add him to their watchlist.

Jazz's Malik Beasley: Logs full practice
Rotowire
Beasley (ankle) was a full participant in Monday's practice, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
Beasley seems to finally be healthy following an ankle sprain that limited his preseason action to just one contest. He looks to be trending towards playing in Wednesday's regular-season opener against the Nuggets and should be one of the top options off the bench if he doesn't earn the starting small forward spot.

Jazz's Malik Beasley: Goes through practice
Rotowire
Beasley (ankle) took part in portions of Sunday's practice, Eric Walden of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
Though he's not yet practicing in full while he manages the sprained left ankle, Beasley has a few more days to get healthier before the Jazz open their season Wednesday against the Nuggets. If Beasley doesn't start in the backcourt alongside Mike Conley and Collin Sexton, he should serve as one of Utah's primary scorers off the bench alongside 2020-21 NBA Sixth Man of the Year Jordan Clarkson.

Beasley (ankle) didn't participate in Thursday's practice session, Sarah Todd of The Deseret News reports.
Beasley has been dealing with a left ankle sprain for a week and a half, and his absence from practice Thursday isn't encouraging for his status ahead of Friday's preseason finale against Dallas.

Jazz's Malik Beasley: Goes through light drills Monday
Rotowire
Beasley (ankle) went through light drills Monday but didn't practice fully, Sarah Todd of The Deseret News reports.
Beasley suffered a left ankle injury during last Tuesday's preseason game against the Trail Blazers and hadn't practiced since, so his return to light drills is an encouraging sign. However, without logging a full practice, it's unlikely he'll play Tuesday against the Spurs, though it does appear like the 6-foot-4 wing will be available when the Jazz open the regular season against the Nuggets on Oct. 19.
