Jazz's Elijah Harkless: Another big workload
Rotowire
Harkless supplied 10 points (4-12 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, six assists and two steals over 29 minutes during Wednesday's 133-110 loss to the Wizards.
With the Jazz evaluating lots of new rotation players, Harkless has emerged as a key contributor for the team. Over his last seven games, he's averaging 31.7 minutes per contest with 12.6 points, 4.9 assists, 3.1 rebounds, 2.0 steals and 1.6 three-pointers on 38.4 percent shooting from the field.

Jazz's Elijah Harkless: Fills stat sheet in loss
Rotowire
Harkless registered 15 points (6-13 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, five assists, one block and five steals across 36 minutes during Saturday's 126-116 loss to the 76ers.
Harkless couldn't repeat the 23-point output he delivered in the win over the Bucks on Thursday. Instead, this time he delivered a solid scoring output while filling out the stat sheet admirably. Harkless has been moving in and out of the starting lineup, and the lack of consistency in his role limits his fantasy upside considerably. He can be productive when given enough minutes, however, so he's a player worth targeting perhaps as a streaming option in some formats.

Jazz's Elijah Harkless: Posts 11 points over 21 minutes
Rotowire
Harkless supplied 11 points (3-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 5-6 FT), three rebounds, six assists, one block and four steals across 21 minutes during Thursday's 129-118 loss to New Orleans.
The Jazz will likely keep Harkless with the parent club for at least another week, and his tenure could be permanent, as the UNLV product has 40 more games of eligibility under his current deal. The recent hamstring injury appears to be a non-issue, and he'll likely see significant minutes if Keyonte George's ankle injury persists.

Jazz's Elijah Harkless: Absent from injury report
Rotowire
Harkless (hamstring) is off Utah's injury report for Friday's game against Memphis.
Harkless looks to be healthy coming out of the All-Star break following an extended absence due to a left hamstring injury. However, the two-way player hasn't appeared at the NBA level since the middle of November, so his next appearance could end up coming with the G League's Salt Lake City Stars rather than the Jazz.
