Remaining out vs. Dallas
Markkanen (illness) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Mavericks.
Analyse
Markkanen is still under the weather and will miss his third consecutive contest Saturday. The star forward's next opportunity to play will come Monday against the Spurs. Cody Williams, Kyle Filipowski and Kyle Anderson are candidates for increased minutes due to Markkanen being sidelined.

Another absence coming
Markkanen (illness) will not play Thursday against the Mavericks.
Analyse
Markkanen will miss his second game in a row Thursday due to his illness. Kevin Love will be available to play and could soak up some minutes, while Brice Sensabaugh will look to stay hot after erupting for 43 points Wednesday.

Out with illness
Markkanen is out for Wednesday's game against the Bulls due to an illness.
Analyse
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.

Downgraded to doubtful
Markkanen (illness) is now doubtful for Wednesday's game against the Bulls.
Analyse
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.

Iffy Wednesday due to illness
Markkanen is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Bulls due to an illness.
Analyse
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.

Double-double in Monday's win
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.
Analyse
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.

Will play Monday
Markkanen (rest) is not being listed on the injury report ahead of Monday's matchup with the Cavs.
Analyse
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.
