What It Means:

Walker played through an illness on January 25, but he's coming off a poor seven-point outing against the Golden State Warriors on Wednesday night, so maybe he could use the night off. Ramon Sessions would be the primary beneficiary from a potential Walker absence, but his status is uncertain due to a sore knee.

numberFire's models currently expect Walker to play versus Utah, and we project him for 22.8 points, 5.5 assists, 4.2 rebounds, 1.2 steals and 1.8 3-pointers across 34.4 minutes.
