Utah Jazz forward Royce O'Neale (ankle) is once against listed on the injury report. Although, this time, it's for Saturday's showdown versus Miami in South Beach. The 28-year-old is currently dealing with a sprained right ankle, and he had the same designation leading up to Thursday's victory over the Hawks. However, O'Neale did manage to suit up for that one and finished with an acceptable nine points, nine boards, and six assists across 34 minutes. Nonetheless, barring any setbacks, O'Neale should be good to go against the Heat, and with Donovan Mitchell (ankle) in danger of missing another one, he may continue to benefit from a fantasy standpoint.

Utah Jazz power forward Royce O'Neale (ankle) has been cleared to play in Thursday's game against Atlanta. O'Neale will be battling a right ankle sprain, but the team will be all hands on deck with Donovan Mitchell (ankle) missing the contest. O'Neale has taken between four and seven shots across each of the Jazz's first seven contests, including logging five field-goal attempts in five straight outings, which limits his DFS upside. A sound contributor in multi-category season-long formats, O'Neale will be a go Thursday, with no restriction on his minutes announced.

Utah Jazz power forward Royce O'Neale (ankle) has been listed as questionable to play in Thursday's game against Atlanta due to a sprained right ankle. O'Neale has yet to miss an outing this season, so how Utah would allocate his minutes is unclear. That being said, Eric Paschall would be a candidate to enter the starting five, while Joe Ingles would presumably take on some added two-way responsibility. O'Neale is a startlingly consistent fantasy option, albeit primarily for deeper season-long formats, especially category leagues. Check back before tip-off to see whether Utah gives him the green light to take the floor.
