(Leah Hogsten | The Salt Lake Tribune) Utah Jazz forward Lauri Markkanen (23) scored 29 points and had 5 rebounds. The Utah Jazz defeated the Dallas Mavericks, 108-100, Jan. 28, 2023 at Vivint Arena.
Markkanen has never averaged more than the 18.7 points per game he put up in an encouraging second season with the Bulls. He’s averaging 22.3 points per game this season in Utah.
Markkanen has flourished in Utah since Cleveland traded him to acquire all-star guard Donovan Mitchell. He has averaged 24.5 points on 49% shooting and 8.4 rebounds in two seasons with the Jazz.
The beauty of Lauri Markkanen this season is that he isn’t putting stress on Utah’s offense in order to supply his own individual offense. The forward scored a team-high 31 points on Monday night.
