Lauri Markkanen Fantasy Stats

Utah Jazz forward Lauri Markkanen (conditioning) will skip a sixth straight game on Thursday against the San Antonio Spurs. Utah's leading scorer recently had a bout with an illness and is now working on his conditioning to get back into game shape. Cody Williams has enjoyed a stint as a starter during Markkanen's absence. However, the 21-year-old sophomore has been modest with his fantasy production, posting 9.3 points, 3.9 rebounds, and 1.4 assists in a starting role this season. Markkanen will have one more opportunity to return this week, as the Jazz welcome the Miami Heat to Salt Lake City on Saturday.

Utah Jazz forward Lauri Markkanen (illness) has been ruled out for Tuesday's matchup with the Minnesota Timberwolves, marking his fifth straight absence due to an illness. His next chance to return comes on Thursday against the Spurs. With Brice Sensabaugh (illness) also sidelined for tonight's clash, 19-year-old rookie Ace Bailey will take on more minutes and will be expected produce offensively with extra scoring opportunities. Walter Clayton could see plenty of usage as well, having logged 32 minutes during Monday's loss to the Spurs.

Utah Jazz forward Lauri Markkanen (illness) has been ruled out for Monday's game against San Antonio, marking his fourth straight absence, though a return Tuesday remains possible. Utah continues to redistribute usage, making Brice Sensabaugh the clear fantasy beneficiary after averaging 31.7 points on 61.4 percent shooting over his last three games. Ace Bailey has also stepped into a larger role, logging 14.3 points and 5.3 rebounds in expanded starts. Sensabaugh's scoring volume and secure minutes profile him as a strong short-term add in standard leagues.

Utah Jazz forward Lauri Markkanen (illness) won't play on Saturday against the Mavericks. He has missed plenty of time this season. However, his most recent string of collective absences is one of his longest of the campaign. Isaiah Collier entered the starting lineup when these clubs met on Thursday, finishing with 10 points, 12 assists, and five boards. Fantasy managers may also continue to see expanded production from Brice Sensabaugh, who had 27 points in that one from off the bench.

Utah Jazz forward Lauri Markkanen (illness) was listed as out on Thursday, as the team finishes a back-to-back with a game in Dallas. Markkanen missed Wednesday's loss to the Bulls and will also be out Thursday, leaving more work for the rest of the rotation. Brice Sensabaugh went off for 43 points on Wednesday night off the bench, while Kyle Filipowski also got some extra work and had 19 points and seven rebounds in 31 minutes. Filipowski and Sensabaugh will be strong options against the short-handed Mavs, while Keyonte George should also be lined up for all the usage he can handle.

Utah Jazz forward Lauri Markkanen (illness) will miss Wednesday's game against the Chicago Bulls. He was a late addition to the injury report due to illness and won't be in action in the first leg of a back-to-back. Kevin Love (rest) will also be missing from the frontcourt, making Kyle Filipowski an attractive fantasy target. Due to Markkanen's absence, Taylor Hendricks and Brice Sensabaugh may also see additional playing time. Meanwhile, Keyonte George will lead the offense in a good fantasy matchup against a team that can't defend.

Utah Jazz forward Lauri Markkanen (rest) is not listed on the injury report for Monday's contest against the Cleveland Cavaliers. The 28-year-old had Saturday off for rest purposes, but it appears he will be back on the floor this evening. Jusuf Nurkic (toe) is also set to suit up, so 22-year-old Taylor Hendricks, who started on Saturday in place of Markkanen, will have his minutes reduced. With Markkanen back in action, fantasy managers should expect him to make a significant impact in fantasy tonight as he's finished with at least 29 points and six rebounds in three of his last four outings.

Utah Jazz forward Lauri Markkanen won't play on Saturday against Charlotte. He had 33 points, seven boards, and four assists in 40 minutes in Thursday's win over the Dallas Mavericks, so fantasy managers can understand why he'll get the night off. The veteran is expected back on Monday versus the Cleveland Cavaliers. With Jusuf Nurkic (toe) and Ace Bailey (hip) also out, Keyonte George, Brice Sensabaugh, Isaiah Collier, and Walter Clayton Jr. should all be considered must-start options in all fantasy setups, especially since this contest is projected to be one of the highest-scoring on the slate.

Utah Jazz forward Lauri Markkanen (rest) won't play on Saturday against the Charlotte Hornets. The former All-Star has logged 40-plus minutes in three of the last four games, and the team has decided to give him some rest on Saturday. Without Markkanen, Kyle Filipowski, Cody Williams, and Taylor Hendricks all have more playing opportunities. Filipowski has the best fantasy upside among them, but his inconsistency is a concern. On Saturday, Filipowski may also benefit from Jusuf Nurkic's (toe) absence, as he is listed as questionable on the injury report.

Utah Jazz forward Lauri Markkanen (knee) is available for Saturday's game at Golden State. He didn't suit up for the recent 118-101 loss to the Clippers. Svi Mykhailiuk entered the starting lineup, finishing with five points, two boards, and one assist in 24 minutes. With Keyonte George (illness) also back in action, Mykhailiuk will likely return to the bench. As far as Markkanen is concerned, fantasy managers can get him back in their lineups, although he might be less productive than usual versus a Warriors team that has been sound defensively throughout the campaign.
