Lauri Markkanen is Questionable on Tuesday
7 years agoChicago Bulls power forward Lauri Markkanen (back) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Houston Rockets. He returned on Friday versus the Milwaukee Bucks, but the Bulls decided to rest Markkanen on Saturday against Detroit. The Bulls aren't likely beating the Rockets at full strength, so it's unlikely the Bulls "rest" him again on Tuesday. Bobby Portis and Noah Vonleh will see increased playing time if Markkanen does not suit up. Owners should check back later for more information.

Lauri Markkanen Remains Out On Wednesday
2 weeks agoUtah Jazz forward Lauri Markkanen (back) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Washington Wizards. Markkanen is set to miss his sixth game in a row due to a lingering back issue. It's unclear when Markkanen will return to the court with the Jazz out of the playoff race. Brice Sensabaugh, KJ Martin, and Kyle Filipowski should all see increased roles with the Jazz banged up. Right now, Filipowski is the best streaming choice between the three after a 25-point performance during his last game.
