Moves out of rotation Monday
Love (coach's decision) went unused Monday in the Jazz's 140-133 overtime win over the Mavericks.
Analyse
After pouring in a season-high 20 points in 20 minutes off the bench in the Jazz's previous game Friday against the Grizzlies, Love looked like a prime candidate to see his playing time pick up Monday, as Utah was without Jusuf Nurkic (rest) for the contest. Instead, Kyle Filipowski took Nurkic's spot in the starting five, and the Jazz went with Taylor Hendricks and Kyle Anderson as their main backup big men while Love was cut out of the rotation entirely. Like Love, Svi Mykhailiuk -- who had started each of the previous 24 games -- was dropped from the rotation Monday after previously holding a consistent role, and Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune suggests that the lineup changes could be indicative of a shift in the organization to prioritize the development of younger players. Even if Monday's game proves to be more of a one-off arrangement and he recaptures his previous role as the top backup center when Nurkic is back in action, Love is still unlikely to see enough minutes to make much of a fantasy impact.

Scores season-high 20 points
Love notched 20 points (8-15 FG, 4-10 3Pt), eight rebounds, one assist and one steal across 20 minutes during Friday's 130-126 victory over the Grizzlies.
Analyse
Love posted his best scoring output of the season Friday, and this performance came out of nowhere since he had gone scoreless in 16 minutes during the loss to the Thunder on Dec. 7. Love has scored in double digits just five times this season, but his bench role limits his upside overall. He might be a decent fantasy option in deep leagues when other Utah frontcourt players are sidelined, but he doesn't play enough, nor does he produce enough, to warrant consideration in standard formats.
