Dunn (personal) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against Minnesota, Tony Jones of The Athletic reports.

Jazz's Kris Dunn: Out for personal reasons
Rotowire
Dunn will not play in Wednesday's game against the Grizzlies due to personal reasons, Eric Walden of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
Dunn picked up a DNP-CD on Monday against the Pelicans, so his absence shouldn't have fantasy implications. Jordan Clarkson (thigh) is expected to return Wednesday, while Keyonte George, Talen Horton-Tucker and Collin Sexton will presumably handle sizable roles in Utah's backcourt.

Jazz's Kris Dunn: Solid night Saturday
Rotowire
Dunn totaled eight points (4-7 FG), three rebounds, two assists and two steals in 19 minutes during Saturday's 105-100 victory over the Pelicans.
Dunn moved into the starting lineup Saturday, replacing Jordan Clarkson, who was out due to an illness. Despite playing just 19 minutes, Dunn ended with a pair of steals to go with eight points. Although he possesses a fantasy-friendly skill set, Dunn is simply not getting enough minutes to warrant attention outside of deeper formats.

Jazz's Kris Dunn: Secures two rebounds
Rotowire
Dunn recorded one point (0-1 FG, 1-2 FT), two rebounds, one assist and one block over five minutes during Wednesday's 121-105 loss to the Trail Blazers.
Dunn has been on the fringes of Utah's rotation over the past two weeks, but he's seen playing time in back-to-back matchups with the Jazz facing significant deficits. Although he saw double-digit minutes in four of his first five appearances of the season, Dunn doesn't hold much fantasy value at this point.

Jazz's Kris Dunn: Plays six minutes
Rotowire
Dunn logged zero points (0-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt), two rebounds and one assist across six minutes during Monday's 110-102 loss to the Nuggets.
Dunn had a decent role to open the season with an average of 18.3 minutes through his first three games, so his limited action Monday night was disappointing. It will be very hard to trust him in most leagues going forward, despite his upside in steals.

Jazz's Kris Dunn: Scores eight off bench
Rotowire
Dunn accumulated eight points (3-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-4 FT), one rebound, two assists and two steals in 16 minutes during Wednesday's 130-114 loss to Sacramento.

Rotowire
Dunn recorded 15 points (7-7 FG, 1-1 3Pt), two rebounds, five assists, two steals and one block across 16 minutes off the bench in Sunday's 101-96 preseason win over the Clippers.
Dunn was one of four players who scored in double digits for the Jazz in the preseason opener, and he finished as Utah's leading scorer despite logging limited minutes off the bench. Dunn is competing with Keyonte George, Ochai Agbaji and Talen Horton-Tucker for bench minutes behind Collin Sexton and Jordan Clarkson this season.

Jazz's Kris Dunn: Strong second-half performance
Rotowire

After struggling with his shot in the first half, Dunn became locked in over the final two quarters, hitting eight of nine shot attempts for 19 points while adding nine boards and three assists. The journeyman guard finished with a team and season-high 26 points and also led the Jazz with 10 rebounds on the night while tying Ochai Agbaji for the team lead in assists with eight. Playing extended minutes down the stretch with Utah no longer in the playoff hunt, Dunn closed out the season on a high point, averaging 18 points, 7.4 assists and six rebounds per game in April.

Jazz's Kris Dunn: Dominates in victory
Rotowire
Dunn had 19 points (6-13 FG, 7-8 FT), eight rebounds, 14 assists, one block and three steals over 37 minutes during Saturday's 118-114 win over the Nuggets.
Dunn was all over the court Saturday, racking up a career-high 14 assists to go with four combined steals and blocks. Despite coming into the season by way of a 10-day contract, Dunn has certainly proven his worth. There is definitely a world in which Dunn would be a better option than Collin Sexton, especially on the defensive end. Should he manage to land a long-term contract, he would be someone to consider for streaming purposes next season.

Jazz's Kris Dunn: Starting Thursday
Rotowire
Dunn will move into the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Thunder, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.
Dunn should be flirting with minutes in the upper-30s with Collin Sexton (rest), Jordan Clarkson (finger) and Talen Horton-Tucker (ankle) all watching from the sidelines Thursday, so he'll make for an attractive streamer for those seeking some steals and dimes.

Jazz's Kris Dunn: Another impressive game off bench

He came up one point shy of matching his season high in scoring and added another five dimes for the eighth time in his last nine games. Since being picked up by the shorthanded Jazz last month, the veteran guard is proving that there's still a place for him in this league as a reliable backup guard. He's currently averaging 11.5 points, 5.2 assists, 4.1 rebounds and 1.1 steals per contest.

Jazz's Kris Dunn: Plays worst game of season Friday
Rotowire
Dunn ended Friday's 144-116 loss to Milwaukee with two points (1-8 FG, 0-3 3Pt), two rebounds and six assists in 27 minutes.
Dunn struggled against Milwaukee's championship-caliber defense, producing his worst outing since joining Utah. On the positive side, he handed out six dimes to better-performing teammates and had just one turnover. Fantasy managers in nine-category leagues are getting excellent value out of Dunn, as he hasn't committed more than two turnovers in a game this season compared to his 5.2 assists per game.

Jazz's Kris Dunn: Excels from bench in loss
Rotowire
Dunn closed Wednesday's 127-115 loss to the Trail Blazers with 15 points (5-11 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 5-7 FT), six rebounds, three assists and one steal across 23 minutes.
Dunn came through with another handy performance while the Jazz remained without two key backcourt contributors in Jordan Clarkson (finger) and Collin Sexton (hamstring). The Jazz have elected to give rookie Ochai Agbaji the starting gig over the seven-year vet, but Dunn appears primed to continue handling an elevated role off the bench while the Jazz look to make a push for the Western Conference Play-In Tournament. Dunn has played 20-plus minutes in all but two of his 12 appearances since joining the team after the All-Star break.

Jazz's Kris Dunn: Dazzles off bench in win
Rotowire
Dunn finished with 18 points (7-12 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 10 assists, two rebounds, one steal and one block across 31 minutes in Monday's 128-120 win over the Kings.
Though the Jazz stuck with Talen Horton-Tucker as their starting point guard while both Collin Sexton (hamstring) and Jordan Clarkson (finger) remained sidelined Monday, Dunn ended up seeing most of the time on the ball against the Kings while Horton-Tucker dealt with foul trouble for much of the night. Dunn was able to make the most of the elevated playing time, as he established new season highs in points and assists while producing his offense efficiently and making his usual contributions in the defensive categories. Though his minutes could dip back into the low-to-mid 20s if Horton-Tucker avoids the whistle Wednesday against the Trail Blazers, Dunn still profiles as a strong streaming option for steals and assists in that contest with the likelihood that both Clarkson and Sexton will continue to sit.

Jazz's Kris Dunn: Stays in Utah rest of season
Rotowire
Dunn and the Jazz agreed Tuesday on a one-year contract, Tony Jones and Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
With Dunn's second 10-day deal lapsing, the Jazz will unsurprisingly keep the 28-year-old in the fold for the rest of the season after he's thus far proven to be an indispensable rotation piece off the bench since Utah's backcourt depth was gutted at the trade deadline and with the losses of Collin Sexton (hamstring) and Jordan Clarkson (finger) to injuries. Through his first nine games with Utah, Dunn has averaged 11.6 points, 4.8 rebounds, 4.8 assists, 1.6 steals, 0.8 three-pointers and 0.6 blocks in 22.2 minutes per game while shooting 53.1 percent from the field. While that type of production would make Dunn a roster-worthy option in 12- and even 10-team category leagues if he can sustain it, he could see his minutes dip into the teens as soon as the Jazz's next game Saturday, when both Sexton and Clarkson could be available to play against the Celtics.
