Lauri Markkanen, Walker Kessler Probable Wednesday
5 months agoUtah Jazz forward Lauri Markkanen (hamstring) and center Walker Kessler (foot) have both been upgraded to probable for Wednesday's game against the New York Knicks. The 7-16 Jazz are set to get some reinforcements in the frontcourt on Wednesday, with John Collins (illness) still absent due to an illness. Markkanen's eight-game absence with a left hamstring strain should come to a merciful end against the Knicks, which is likely to revert Simone Fontecchio to Utah's bench and the majority of fantasy waiver wires after averaging 11.6 points, 2.3 three-pointers, and 1.0 blocks in 28.3 minutes over his last eight contests. Kessler, returning from a one-game respite with right foot soreness, has been in and out of Utah's lineup this year but figures to move back into head coach Will Hardy's starting group, which may also chase Ochai Agbaji to the second unit.
