Kelly (hamstring), who has yet to play this preseason, looks likely to make his debut Sunday when the Lakers host the Jazz, InsideSoCal.com reports.

Analysis:

Before he plays, Kelly will have to get through a five-on-five scrimmage Saturday, but barring a setback, the second year man will get his first taste of competitive basketball this season. If he does play, he'll play at power forward, competing with Carlos Boozer and Julius Randle for minutes. Kelly is the best floor-spacer of that trio and for a Laker team sorely lacking in shooting, his return will be a welcome one. For fantasy purposes, however, he'll be an afterthought in most leagues as he'll be buried behind Boozer and Randle barring an injury to either of those two.
