Lauri Markkanen Available For Soft Matchup
1 month agoUtah Jazz forward Lauri Markkanen (quadriceps) is available for Monday's tilt versus the Dallas Mavericks. Markkanen has alternated appearances for Utah in their past four contests due to a right quadriceps contusion but is suiting up for a favorable matchup against Dallas, who are surrendering the fifth-most DraftKings points to enemy power forwards. A 238.5-point implied total signifies the highest figure on Monday's 11-game slate, so this could be a high-scoring meeting. The 26-year-old three-level scorer is a must-start across all fantasy leagues when active, but he's really struggled to shoot the ball since returning from the All-Star break. Over his last seven showings, Markkanen is averaging 20.6 points on 39.6% shooting from the field, 6.0 boards, 1.3 steals, and 2.4 three-pointers. Beware of the 29-42 Jazz giving him random rest days down the stretch of a non-contending campaign as well.
