Jazz's Lauri Markkanen: Questionable Sunday
Markkanen is questionable for Sunday's game against the Nets due to low back spasms.
Markkanen is in jeopardy of missing the second leg of the club's back-to-back set after he contributed 24 points (7-18 FG, 3-12 3Pt, 7-8 FT), four rebounds, two assists and a steal in 31 minutes during Saturday's loss to the Suns. With Markkanen and Kyle Filipowski (ankle) at risk of joining John Collins (hip) and Walker Kessler (rest) on the sideline, Micah Potter and Cody Williams are candidates for increased roles.

Jazz's Lauri Markkanen: Paces Utah with 24 points in loss
Markkanen ended with a team-high 24 points (7-18 FG, 3-12 3Pt, 7-8 FT), four rebounds, two assists and one steal across 31 minutes during Saturday's 114-106 loss to the Suns.
Markkanen paced the injury-riddled Jazz with 24 points Saturday, but he didn't make as much of an impact in the other areas of the box score. Although Markkanen is shooting just 39.9 percent from the floor across his last 11 appearances, the 27-year-old star forward is averaging a healthy 22.9 points, 5.8 rebounds. 1.3 assists, 1.1 steals and 3.9 threes during this interval. Markkanen's usage has surged amid the absences of Keyonte George (heel), Jordan Clarkson (foot) and John Collins (hip), which would figure to continue aiding his productivity while hurting his shooting efficiency until Utah gets healthier.

Jazz's Lauri Markkanen: Shoots poorly Thursday
Markkanen notched 23 points (8-24 FG, 6-15 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five rebounds, one assist and one block across 30 minutes during Thursday's 97-92 loss to the Heat.
Markkanen couldn't repeat the 35-point effort he delivered in the loss to the Hawks on Tuesday, and his shooting numbers were quite poor from an efficiency perspective. The star forward has scored at least 15 points in 12 games in a row, averaging 22.0 points, 5.9 rebounds and 1.3 assists per game in that span.

Jazz's Lauri Markkanen: Ties season-high scoring mark
Markkanen registered 35 points (11-21 FG, 8-15 3Pt, 5-6 FT), two rebounds, one assist, one block and two steals in 31 minutes during Tuesday's 124-121 loss to the Hawks.
Markkanen matched his best scoring output of the season and reached the 30-point mark for the third time in 2024-25, though it's the first time he'd done it since late November. He also bounced back from a rather subpar stretch, as he had failed to score 20 or more points in his previous three outings while shooting a meager 35.4 percent from the floor in that span. Markkanen remains Utah's go-to player on offense despite the recent woes. He should continue to be a sought-after player on offense, so fantasy managers shouldn't worry about his recent drop in production.

Markkanen recorded just his third double-double of the season, adding a season-high four combined steals and blocks. It was one of Markkanen's best overall performances this season despite shooting just 27.3 percent from the floor. Overall, Markkanen has been somewhat underwhelming this season, averaging 19.5 points, 6.4 rebounds and 2.8 three-pointers in 32.0 minutes per game.

Markkanen extended his steak of 20-plus point performances to four in the narrow loss. The veteran continues to be a solid fantasy option for the Jazz, although his prolific stat lines haven't equated to notches in the win column. Markkanen also collected a season-high three steals during the contest.

Jazz's Lauri Markkanen: Top rebounder with double-double
Markkanen notched 27 points (7-15 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 10-10 FT), 14 rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal over 36 minutes during Thursday's 126-119 win over Detroit.

Jazz's Lauri Markkanen: Limited to 25 minutes Monday
Markkanen totaled 17 points (5-9 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds, one assist and two steals over 25 minutes during Monday's 144-107 loss to the Clippers.
There wasn't any sign of Markkanen dealing with an injury, so there's a strong chance he was given extra rest due to the blowout nature of the game. The star forward should remain Utah's go-to option on offense on a regular basis even if he hasn't reached the 20-point mark in four straight outings. He's still averaging a solid 18.6 points, 6.2 rebounds and 2.3 assists per game this season, although the scoring numbers have certainly decreased from his previous two years with the franchise.

Jazz's Lauri Markkanen: Will play Friday
Markkanen (back) is available for Friday's game against the Suns.
Markkanen was initially listed as questionable for Friday's game but was later upgraded to probable and now to available.

Markkanen is averaging 20.5 points, 6.4 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 0.7 steals per game over his last 10 contests.

Jazz's Lauri Markkanen: Supplies 19 points in loss
Markkanen produced 19 points (5-9 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 5-5 FT), six rebounds and two assists over 34 minutes during Friday's 134-126 loss to Phoenix.
The 27-year-old forward is nursing a sore back that has cost him two of Utah's last seven games, but Markkanen was reasonably productive Friday after managing just eight points on 2-for-9 shooting in Sunday's loss to Sacramento. He's reached 20 points only once in his last six appearances though, averaging 15.8 points, 5.7 boards, 2.5 assists and 2.0 threes over that stretch while shooting 38.8 percent from the floor and 26.7 percent (12-for-45) from beyond the arc, and Markkanen can't be relied on to supply his usual numbers until he shows he's 100 percent healthy again.

Jazz's Lauri Markkanen: Now expected to play Friday

Jazz's Lauri Markkanen: Back on injury report
Markkanen (back) is questionable for Friday's game against the Suns.
The Jazz continue to place Markkanen on the injury report due to low back injury management, though it's slightly concerning that he's tagged as questionable after being listed as probable ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Kings. The team should have more clarification on his availability closer to Friday's tipoff.

Jazz's Lauri Markkanen: Notches just eight points
Markkanen logged eight points (2-9 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), two rebounds and four assists in 25 minutes during Sunday's 141-97 loss to the Kings.
Utah's franchise player appeared in three consecutive outings before missing Friday's win over Portland due to injury management. The Jazz are 5-18 on the season, so it's likely they'll exercise caution with Markkanen whenever possible. He's had a quiet season by his standards, as his production is down nearly across the board compared to 2023-24, as well as his shooting percentages.
