Jazz's Lauri Markkanen: Double-double in Monday's win
Markkanen logged 28 points (8-16 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 9-12 FT), 12 rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal in 36 minutes during Monday's 123-112 win over the Cavaliers.
The double-double was his fourth of the season, with three of them coming in his last 10 games dating back to Dec. 15. While Markkanen's had trouble staying on the court, he's been very productive when he is in the lineup, averaging 28.8 points, 8.4 boards, 2.7 threes, 2.5 assists and 1.5 steals over that 10-game stretch.

Jazz's Lauri Markkanen: Will play Monday
Markkanen (rest) is not being listed on the injury report ahead of Monday's matchup with the Cavs.
Markkanen took a rest day Saturday, but he'll be back in action Monday evening, which will likely shift Taylor Hendricks back to the second unit. Jusuf Nurkic (toe) is also on track to play, so with both Nurkic and Markkanen active, Kyle Anderson could drop from the rotation entirely.

Jazz's Lauri Markkanen: Delivers double-double in OT loss
Markkanen generated 29 points (11-19 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 4-5 FT), 13 rebounds, one assist and one steal across 44 minutes of Wednesday's 129-125 overtime loss to the Thunder.
Markkanen notched his third double-double of the campaign, and he fell just one point short of his 13th game of 30 points. Since the start of December, Markkanen has averaged 27.5 points, 8.3 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.3 steals across 27.5 minutes.

Jazz's Lauri Markkanen: Posts team-high 22 points in defeat
Markkanen notched 22 points (8-17 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT), four rebounds, four assists, one block and three steals in 32 minutes during Monday's 137-117 loss to the Trail Blazers.
Markkanen played through his knee injury and recorded a solid total for his struggling squad, which suffered its fourth consecutive loss. The Jazz's roster situation looked bleak earlier in the week, but Markkanen's return and Jusuf Nurkic's injury tag removal certainly improved the team's chances of success in the frontcourt. Still, Markkanen had no answer for Deni Avdija and managed only four rebounds.

Jazz's Lauri Markkanen: Game-high 35 points in loss
Markkanen logged 35 points (15-27 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 3-4 FT), six rebounds and one assist over 41 minutes during the Jazz's 123-114 loss to the Warriors on Saturday.
Markkanen returned Saturday from a one-game absence due to a left knee contusion, which didn't appear to bother him all that much as he logged a team-high 41 minutes during the loss. He reached the 35-point threshold for the fifth time this season, and his scoring output Saturday was his most in a game since Nov. 16 against the Bulls (47 points). In his last 10 outings since Dec. 1, Markkanen has averaged 27.9 points on 50.0 percent shooting along with 8.2 rebounds, 1.9 assists, 2.5 threes and 1.2 steals over 36.2 minutes per game.

Jazz's Lauri Markkanen: Cleared to play vs. Golden State
Markkanen (knee) is available for Saturday's game against the Warriors.
Markkanen has been officially cleared to return from a one-game absence due to a left knee contusion, so Taylor Hendricks will likely revert to a bench role due to the former's return. Markkanen has played in six of the Jazz's last 10 games while managing separate knee and groin injuries, and over that span he has averaged 27.8 points, 8.5 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 2.8 threes and 1.8 steals over 37.0 minutes per game.

Jazz's Lauri Markkanen: Iffy for Saturday
Markkanen (knee) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Warriors.
Markkanen is in jeopardy of missing a second consecutive contest due to a left knee contusion. If the star forward is ultimately ruled out, Kyle Filipowski and Taylor Hendricks are candidates for increased playing time. Over nine appearances in December, Markkanen averaged 27.1 points, 8.4 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.3 steals in 35.6 minutes per contest.

Jazz's Lauri Markkanen: Iffy for Thursday
Markkanen is questionable for Thursday's game against the Clippers with a left knee contusion.
This appears to be a new injury for Markkanen after he previously battled a right groin issue. In his most recent outing, he finished with 22 points (6-16 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 8-8 FT), nine rebounds, two assists, two steals and one block across 38 minutes against the Celtics on Tuesday.

Jazz's Lauri Markkanen: Nears double-double in defeat
Markkanen had 22 points (6-16 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 8-8 FT), nine rebounds, two assists, two steals and one block across 38 minutes during Tuesday's 129-119 loss to the Celtics.
Markkanen didn't deliver his most efficient performance, though he still finished as Utah's third-leading scorer. The star forward was active on the glass Tuesday and grabbed a game-high nine rebounds, a mark he has reached in three of his last six appearances. During that stretch, he has averaged 27.8 points, 8.5 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.8 steals per game.

Jazz's Lauri Markkanen: Sails for 30 points
Markkanen ended with 30 points (8-18 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 10-10 FT), four rebounds, four assists and one steal over 38 minutes during Friday's 131-129 victory over the Pistons.
Markkanen's production was essential in driving the upset against Detroit, as the two-man wrecking crew of Markkanen and Jusuf Nurkic was incredibly effective in the frontcourt. While Cade Cunningham finished with a solid total, the rest of the Pistons' starting lineup was stymied thanks to an excellent defensive effort, and Markkanen was the spearhead of that cause.

Jazz's Lauri Markkanen: Not listed on injury report
Markkanen (groin) isn't listed on Utah's injury report for Friday's game against the Pistons.
After resting for the second leg of a back-to-back set Tuesday versus Memphis, Markkanen is on track to suit up Friday, along with Jusuf Nurkic (rest). Markkanen has missed four of Utah's past seven games to manage his workload, but he's been productive when available, averaging 27.2 points, 9.7 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.0 steals in 35.0 minutes per game across six December appearances.

Jazz's Lauri Markkanen: Won't play Tuesday
Markkanen (groin) won't play Tuesday against the Grizzlies.
Tuesday's game is the second leg of a back-to-back set, and Markkanen is being held out for right groin injury management. In other words, he's being held out for rest. This was a common occurrence in 2024-25, and it's a reason for his fantasy managers to be nervous.
