Lauri Markkanen

Lauri Markkanen poured in 25 points (8-14 FG, 4-8 3PT, 5-6 FT), 11 rebounds, two assists, one steal and one block in 32 minutes of Monday's 120-102 win over the Hornets.

Fantasy Impact

Markkanen continued his stat-stuffing tendencies on Monday, tallying his fifth straight double-double. On top of this, the big man is averaging 29.4 points per game in January thanks in part to an impressive 41.9% clip from beyond the arc. If he can continue to get it done from deep, Markkanen should be viewed as one of the elite big men in fantasy going forward.

Fantasy Impact

Markkanen is dealing with a hip injury that will force him to miss another game on Monday. It will mark the second game he's had to miss for this injury, and the exact timetable for his return is unclear. Rudy Gay (back) will be in line for more work in the forward's absence against Minnesota.

Fantasy Impact

Markkanen is listed as questionable for Monday and will be a game-time decision. He's dealing with a hip injury that left him sidelined on Saturday, and it may be enough to knock him out for another game. The team will likely make a decision about his availability closer to game time, and fantasy managers can expect more work for Jarred Vanderbilt and Rudy Gay (back) if he's out against Minnesota.
