Makes statement in blowout loss
Clayton accumulated 15 points (5-11 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), two rebounds, seven assists and one steal across 31 minutes during Thursday's 144-122 loss to the Mavericks.
Analiz
After not playing at all in Cleveland on Jan. 12, Clayton has been back in the rotation the past two games and was excellent in Thursday's loss. His elevated minutes were likely due to the blowout nature of the contest, but the rookie still scored at least 15 points for only the fourth time this season and fell two dimes shy of his career high. However, when Lauri Markkanen (illness) returns to action, there'll be less usage to go around in Utah.

Drops out of rotation Monday
Clayton (coach's decision) went unused off the bench Monday in the Jazz's 123-112 win over the Cavaliers.
Analiz
Though he appeared in each of Utah's previous 22 games and saw double-digit minutes in each of the last eight contests, Clayton was dropped from the 10-man rotation Monday along with Taylor Hendricks while head coach Will Hardy opened up spots for veterans Svi Mykhailiuk and Kevin Love following a 55-point loss to the Hornets on Saturday. Given that Mykhailiuk and Love are both on expiring contracts and don't appear to be part of the non-contending Jazz's long-term plans, Clayton's absence from the rotation could very well wind up being short-lived. Before not playing Monday, the rookie first-round pick had been faring well of late as an offensive creator on the second unit, averaging 10.3 points and 3.2 assists against 1.0 turnovers in 23.0 minutes over six January games while shooting 44.1 percent from downtown.
