Lauri Markkanen (hand) questionable Tuesday for Jazz
Utah Jazz forward Lauri Markkanen (left hand contusion) is questionable for Tuesday versus the Los Angeles Lakers.
What It Means:
Markkanen returned from a two-game absence for a hand injury on Sunday and scored 23 points (8-21 field goals, 1-6 3-pointers, 6-6 free throws) with 9 rebounds, 2 assists, and 2 steals in 35 minutes. Simone Fontecchio will be the favorite to start if Markkanen is unavailable.
Markkanen has a $9,000 salary on Tuesday’s 13-game slate and numberFire's models project him for 36.3 FanDuel points over 33.9 minutes. Per our NBA Heat Map, the Jazz’s implied total is 114.25 while the game total (237.0) is the second-highest of the day.
