Utah Jazz Fantasy Spin

Dante Exum (ankle) will not play on Friday against the Thunder. He is being re-evaluated today, and Exum did go through part of practice on Wednesday. The Jazz likely won't miss Exum too much with Raul Neto set to pick up the scraps behind Ricky Rubio and Donovan Mitchell.

Oklahoma City Thunder Fantasy Spin

Dennis Schroder (personal) practiced on Thursday and should be ready to go vs. the Jazz on Friday. Schroder missed two games after the birth of his child, but there was never any thought he'd sit out after the break. Deonte Burton and Raymond Felton both take a backseat with Schroeder back in his sixth-man role.
