In what was a relatively low-scoring game, Markkanen's 21 points were a game-high. He got there on volume as he made just 8-of-21 field goal attempts and 3-of-13 attempts from behind the 3-point line. Markkanen hasn't lived up to preseason expectations for fantasy managers, but he can still put up at least solid numbers with this level of volume.
Lauri Markkanen scored 21 points, Collin Sexton and Svi Mykhailiuk each had 18 points, and the Utah Jazz beat the Brooklyn Nets 105-94 on Saturday night.
The Jazz are without Keyonte George, who injured his ankle during Thursday's win over the Pistons. Mykhailiuk will fill the resulting void in the starting lineup, but he offers limited streaming value. Sexton's fantasy value should increase because he is the starting point guard.
Markkanen was upgraded to probable earlier in the day, so his official availability doesn't come as a surprise. He finished with just eight points in Sunday's blowout loss to the Kings and will look to bounce back in this game.
Markkanen appeared in Utah's last game, though he's missed two of the last six. Clarkson has missed seven in a row, but he's poised to return. Markkanen should be expected to handle a typical workload, though Clarkson could see a lighter workload after such a long layoff.
