Lauri Markkanen (hand) ruled out Tuesday for Jazz
Utah Jazz forward Lauri Markkanen (left hand contusion) is out Tuesday versus the Los Angeles Lakers.
What It Means:
Markkanen has been ruled out for the sixth time in nine games. Simone Fontecchio is the favorite to start in place of Markkanen. Juan Toscano-Anderson also stands to benefit.
Fontecchio has a $4,800 salary on Tuesday’s 13-game slate and numberFire's models project him for 22.8 FanDuel points over 27.9 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.
