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.
