Ruled out for Friday
Filipowski (back) has been ruled out for Friday's game against Memphis.
Analysis
Filipowski will miss Utah's penultimate regular-season game due to lower-back injury management. With the big man sidelined, Oscar Tshiebwe and Blake Hinson are candidates to see increased playing time.

Available versus Pelicans
Filipowski (back) is available for Tuesday's game against the Pelicans.
Analysis
Filipowski was initially listed as questionable before being upgraded to probable. In two games against New Orleans this season, the 22-year-old has averaged 12.5 points, 6.0 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 0.5 blocks and 0.5 steals across 24.0 minutes of work. However, with the Jazz down several of their top scorers, Filipowski should receive more opportunities on the offensive end.

Probable for Tuesday
Filipowski (back) is probable for Tuesday's game against the Pelicans.
Analysis
Filipowski was previously listed as questionable, but it appears he will give it a go. With the Jazz thin up front, Filipowski may play a featured role. Over his past six appearances, Filipowski has averaged 22.2 points, 10.0 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 1.0 steals in 29.5 minutes.

Questionable for Tuesday
Filipowski is questionable for Tuesday's game against New Orlean due to lower-back injury management.
Analysis
It looks like the Jazz are contemplating a maintenance day for Filipowski as the team rides out the final week of a losing season. Oscar Tshiebwe would likely draw the start at center if Filipowski winds up sitting out Tuesday, while Kevin Love could see some burn as the No. 2 big man in this scenario.

Double-doubles in blowout loss
Filipowski closed with 20 points (10-25 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 0-1 FT), 14 rebounds, six assists and one block across 38 minutes during Sunday's 146-111 loss to the Thunder.
Analysis
Filipowski didn't have his best shooting performance, but he had to deal with the size and defensive ability of the imposing Chet Holmgren-Isaiah Hartenstein frontcourt. Despite the subpar showing in terms of efficiency, Filipowski still reached the 20-point mark and delivered his third double-double across his last four appearances. Filipowski should be one of Utah's go-to options on offense in the final week of the regular season. He's averaging 17.4 points, 8.5 rebounds and 3.7 assists per game over his last 10 appearances.
