Markkanen continues a solid stretch on both ends of the floor to begin the season, finishing with six or more rebounds and 16 or more points in each of the first three contests. The forward remains one of the more reliable options as part of a revamped Utah lineup, averaging 20.7 points and 7.3 rebounds per game while posting a 21.4% usage rate so far this season.

Markkanen struggled to find his shot, hitting just 14% of his shots from three on the night. He got to the line plenty, helping pad his final point total. He should shake off the rust he's accumulated soon.

The Jazz say Lauri Markkanen will be re-evaluated in two weeks.

Fantasy Impact

Markkanen injured his hip and ankle in practice on Wednesday. He underwent an MRI that “showed symptomatic hip impingement with associated inflammation and bone bruise.” John Konchar will see more run in his place.

Markkanen won't play Thursday against the Pelicans, ruled out with ankle and hip issues.

John Konchar, Brice Sensabaugh, and Kyle Filipowski are all in line to pick up the slack in his absence.
