In Love With Lauri Markkanen

We've mentioned Lauri Markkanen in this column before, but he’s making a second appearance on account of his last month of incredibly solid production.

Over the course of the last month, Markkanen has reached at least five-times value in seven of ten games and threw up only one truly underwhelming performance the other night with 31 FanDuel points against Memphis. It’s a shame his sophomore season was interrupted with injury because you can’t help but wonder if he could’ve at all replicated this recent February run of 26 points and 12 boards a game, and for how long.

Markkanen’s 366 fantasy points slots him as the eighth-highest scoring player in the league over the last two weeks and his price (an average of around $8,350) has allowed him to retain his value.

Lauri and the Bulls face upcoming games against the Hawks twice, followed by the Pacers and 76ers.
