Markkanen ended Monday's 132-113 loss to the Lakers with 17 points (8-18 FG, 1-8 3Pt), three rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal across 29 minutes.
Markkanen had a bad night from the field, but despite that, he ended up as one of Utah's most reliable scoring options in a game where the team looked outmatched. Markkanen has averaged 16.3 points per game since the beginning of February, but the shooting performances are a bit concerning. He's made just 42.1 percent of his attempts from the field and only 33.3 percent of his treys.
