Lauri Markkanen Will Rest on Thursday Against Portland
Utah Jazz forward Lauri Markkanen (rest) will not play in his team's final game before the All-Star break. He played on a minutes limit on Wednesday, producing 19 points in 21 minutes in his team's win over the Kings, but he'll rest on Thursday on the second night of the team's back-to-back. Keyonte George (ankle) and Jaren Jackson Jr. (knee) are also out for Thursday, which will leave plenty of playing time and usage for Kyle Filipowski, John Konchar, and Brice Sensabaugh. It will be a makeshift rotation, to be sure, but there should be value from the Jazz players available since the Trail Blazers are also playing for the second day in a row.
