EDGE Analysis
Markkanen is slated to miss a fourth consecutive game while battling through an illness, though he could return for the second leg of the Jazz's back-to-back set Tuesday against the Timberwolves.

Markkanen (illness) will not play Thursday against the Mavericks.

Markkanen is out for Wednesday's game against the Bulls due to an illness.
EDGE Analysis
The star forward has a short turnaround if he wants to suit up in time for Thursday's matchup in Dallas. With Markkanen taking a seat Wednesday, Brice Sensabaugh appears to be worth streaming in the majority of fantasy leagues. Kyle Filipowski could also see an uptick in minutes, given that Kevin Love is resting.

Markkanen (illness) is now doubtful for Wednesday's game against the Bulls.
EDGE Analysis
Markkanen recently popped up on the morning injury report as questionable, but he continues to trend in the wrong direction, and it appears the Jazz will play it safe on the front end of this back-to-back set. With Markkanen likely to sit, the Jazz could lean more on Kyle Filipowski, while Taylor Hendricks could crack the rotation.

Markkanen is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Bulls due to an illness.
EDGE Analysis
Markkanen was a late addition to the Jazz's injury report and is now in jeopardy of missing out on playing against one of his former teams. Wednesday's game is the front end of a back-to-back set, and it's worth noting that the Jazz are usually cautious with Markkanen. If Markkanen ends up sitting out, Taylor Hendricks could re-enter the rotation, and Kyle Filipowski would also likely be in line for elevated minutes.

Markkanen logged 28 points (8-16 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 9-12 FT), 12 rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal in 36 minutes during Monday's 123-112 win over the Cavaliers.
EDGE Analysis
The double-double was his fourth of the season, with three of them coming in his last 10 games dating back to Dec. 15. While Markkanen's had trouble staying on the court, he's been very productive when he is in the lineup, averaging 28.8 points, 8.4 boards, 2.7 threes, 2.5 assists and 1.5 steals over that 10-game stretch.

Markkanen (rest) is not being listed on the injury report ahead of Monday's matchup with the Cavs.
EDGE Analysis
Markkanen took a rest day Saturday, but he'll be back in action Monday evening, which will likely shift Taylor Hendricks back to the second unit. Jusuf Nurkic (toe) is also on track to play, so with both Nurkic and Markkanen active, Kyle Anderson could drop from the rotation entirely.

EDGE Analysis
Markkanen will get Saturday night off, and his next opportunity to play will come Monday against the Cavaliers. With the 28-year-old forward unavailable, Cody Williams, Taylor Hendricks and Kyle Anderson are candidates to see increased playing time.

Markkanen was particularly effective down the stretch of Thursday's clash, adding 10 points in the fourth quarter to ensure victory.
