Collin Sexton Shines with 19 Points in Jazz’s Game Against Bucks

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah — Collin Sexton delivered another strong performance Monday night, scoring 19 points in the Utah Jazz‘s game against the Milwaukee Bucks. The guard shot 6-of-13 from the field, including 3-of-5 from beyond the arc, while adding five rebounds and four assists in the 123-115 loss.

Sexton’s January scoring streak continued, as he has now recorded at least 17 points in all 11 games this month. His efficiency from three-point range was particularly notable, marking his best performance from deep since January 5. The 25-year-old guard has been a consistent force for the Jazz, averaging 18.7 points, 4.2 rebounds, and 3.8 assists per game this season.

“Collin’s been a steady presence for us all season,” said Jazz head coach Will Hardy. “He brings energy every night and has been a reliable scorer, especially during this stretch.”

Despite Sexton’s efforts, the Jazz struggled to contain the Bucks’ offense, led by Giannis Antetokounmpo’s 32 points and 12 rebounds. Utah’s defense allowed Milwaukee to shoot 52.3% from the field, including 14 made three-pointers.

Sexton’s recent performances have solidified his role as a key contributor for the Jazz, but questions remain about his long-term status with the team. As Utah sits outside the playoff picture, speculation has grown that the organization may prioritize draft positioning over short-term success, potentially leading to reduced minutes for veterans like Sexton later in the season.

Fantasy managers have taken note of Sexton’s consistent production, as he remains a valuable mid-round option in most leagues. However, his status as a potential shutdown candidate could impact his value in the coming months.

The Jazz will look to bounce back Wednesday when they host the Denver Nuggets at Vivint Arena. Sexton’s continued scoring prowess will be crucial as Utah aims to snap a three-game losing streak.
