Lauri Markkanen led the Jazz with 35 points (11-21 FG, 8-15 3PT, 5-6 FT), two rebounds, two steals, and one block over 31 minutes in a narrow 124-121 loss to the Hawks. Despite Markkanen's sharpshooting, the Jazz couldn't contain Atlanta's balanced offensive attack.
Fantasy Impact:
Markkanen continues to excel as a premier scoring option, particularly from beyond the arc, where he's shooting 42.1% this season. His 35-point outing underscores his ability to deliver elite production in points and three-pointers for fantasy managers. While his rebounding numbers were lower than usual in this game, Markkanen remains a must-start in all formats due to his high usage rate (28.7%) and consistent scoring output.
