Jazz to start Keyonte, Darryn, Ace, Lauri, and JJJ

Lauri Markkanen

UTA Forward-Center #23

Player Stats

The Utah Jazz will start Keyonte George, Darryn Peterson, Ace Bailey, Lauri Markkanen, and Jaren Jackson Jr. against the Pelicans on Friday.

Ace Bailey will get the start over Jackson Hayes on Friday. It might be a matchup related change with Murphy, Zion, and Missi being their opponents, but there’s no doubt that Ace was one of the best players on the team on Wednesday.

Lauri Markkanen had 22 points (8-of-16 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), eight rebounds, three assists, one steal and four three-pointers against the Spurs on Monday.

Markkanen’s 22 points were a game-high, though the Jazz still lost by 22 to the Spurs. He bounced back nicely after scoring just 13 points on 14 attempts in Saturday’s loss to the Trail Blazers. Markkanen and the Jazz have three more games this week with their next matchup against the Pelicans on the road Wednesday.

UTA Forward-Center #23

Lauri Markkanen accounted for 13 points (3-of-14 FGs, 5-of-6 FTs), six rebounds, one assist, two steals, two blocks and two three-pointers in Saturday’s loss to the Trail Blazers.

Back on the court after missing Wednesday’s loss to the Spurs with a right wrist injury, Markkanen played 29 minutes on Saturday before fouling out. Given the injury he was returning from, it wasn’t too surprising to see Markkanen shoot 2-of-11 from beyond the arc. Utah plays four games next week, starting with the Spurs on Monday. Hopefully, Markkanen is sharper than he was against Portland.

The Jazz will start Keyonte George, Darryn Peterson, Ace Bailey, Lauri Makkanen and Jaxson Hayes against the Trail Blazers on Saturday.

Markkanen missed Wednesday’s loss to the Spurs with a wrist injury, but is set to return Saturday against the Trail Blazers. Josh Green will head back to the bench.

Lauri Markkanen (wrist) is available for Saturday’s game against the Trail Blazers.

Markkanen missed Wednesday’s game against the Spurs with a sprained right wrist. He’ll return Saturday against the Trail Blazers, likely sending Josh Green back to the bench.

Lauri Markkanen (wrist) is questionable for Saturday’s game against the Trail Blazers.

Markkanen sprained his right wrist during Monday’s loss to the Grizzlies and did not play on Wednesday against the Spurs. If he can play on Saturday, Josh Green will likely head to the bench.

UTA Forward-Center #23

Lauri Markkanen (wrist) is out for Wednesday’s game against the Spurs.

Markkanen is dealing with a sprained right wrist that he suffered Monday against the Grizzlies. Without Markkanen, Kyle Filipowski figures to see enough minutes to make him a worthwhile streamer.
Lauri Markkanen

UTA Forward-Center #23

According to the Utah Jazz X.com account, Lauri Markkanen suffered a right wrist sprain in Monday’s matchup with the Grizzlies and is considered day-to-day.

With Jaren Jackson Jr. (knee) out for 6-8 weeks, Utah’s frontcourt rotation is suddenly very thin. Markkanen’s absence should mean more run for Kyle Filipowski, making him a worthwhile waiver wire add.

Lauri Markkanen (wrist) ruled out vs. Grizzles

Markkanen’s wrist looked to bend backwards going through a screen, and shortly afterwards headed to the locker room. This is something worth monitoring over the next few days, with the Jazz’s next game on Wednesday against the Spurs.
Lauri Markkanen

UTA Forward-Center #23

Lauri Markkanen amassed 28 points (9-of-19 FGs, 5-of-6 FTs), six rebounds, one assist and five three-pointers in Sunday’s loss to the Lakers.

Markkanen recorded his first 20-point game of the season on Sunday, with the 28 points just six shy of his total in Utah’s first two games. Unfortunately for category-league managers, the Jazz forward recorded no defensive stats, but most roster Markkanen for his offense. Utah begins a three-game Week 2 on Monday against the Grizzlies.
Lauri Markkanen

UTA Forward-Center #23

Lauri Markkanen puts up (6-of-13 FGs), six rebounds, three assists, a steal and four 3-pointers in win on Friday against the Pelicans.

The Jazz were able to get into their actions more easily against the Pelicans which allowed Lauri to get more of the shots he wants to take. He was much more rhythm and comfortable in this game. This is the production you expected to have when you drafted Lauri Markkanen in the middle rounds of redraft leagues.

ESPN’s Shams Charania reports the Warriors are not delivering payments to Kristaps Porziņģis, ruling that he is “not rendering services.”

Porziņģis re-signed with the Warriors on a two-year, $40 million deal at the start of free agency. Since then, Porziņģis hasn’t really been around the team, and there have been reports that the team doesn’t expect him to suit up for them again. This won’t help those odds, and if Porziņģis suits up this season, it seems likely it will be for a different team. However, a team could trade for Porziņģis with the intention to buy him out to save some money.
