Starting versus Houston
Konchar will start in Friday's game against Houston, Lachard Binkley of SI.com reports.
Analysis
Konchar will make his first start since the 133-110 loss to the Wizards on March 25. In seven starts throughout the 2025-26 campaign, the 30-year-old has averaged 5.9 points, 6.7 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 1.1 blocks and 2.9 steals across 29.9 minutes.

Produces first double-double
Konchar supplied 12 points (4-7 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-5 FT), 10 rebounds, six assists, one block and two steals across 29 minutes off the bench during Wednesday's 130-117 loss to Denver.
Analysis
It was the first double-double of the season for Konchar, and his first since 2023-24 with Memphis. The veteran forward has seen a significant workload the last couple of weeks due to Lauri Markkanen (hip), Jaren Jackson (knee) and other members of the Utah frontcourt being on the shelf. Over the last seven games (two starts), Konchar is averaging 10.4 points, 6.7 boards, 3.3 assists, 1.1 blocks, 1.0 threes and 0.9 steals in 28.1 minutes while shooting 58.7 percent from the floor and 41.2 percent (7-for-17) from long range.

Poor defensive effort
Konchar closed with six points (2-4 FG, 2-2 3Pt), four rebounds and two assists in 30 minutes during Monday's 122-113 loss to the Cavaliers.
Analysis
Konchar failed to record a defensive stat, continuing what has been a quiet period on that end of the court. In seven games over the past two weeks, he has averaged just 1.7 combined steals and blocks per contest, less than ideal for someone considered a defensive streamer. While he does still warrant some attention, should you need a boost in either of those categories, he is obviously not the most trustworthy option.
