They're not better without him, but Kessler's absence has unlocked this two-man lineup!
The Utah Jazz are better off with Walker Kessler than without him. They've won two of their last seven games since he played his last game of the season. However, with him out, his absence has unleashed a surprisingly dominant two-man lineup: the pairing of Lauri Markkanen and Kyle Filipowski.
The two had already shown their dominance when paired with Kessler before his injury earlier this season.
