Lauri Markkanen (back) logs full practice Tuesday for Jazz
Utah Jazz power forward Lauri Markkanen (back) was a full participant in Tuesday's practice.
What It Means:
Markkanen is on track to return Wednesday against the Portland Trail Blazers. He was held out of Monday's game versus the Sacramento Kings due to back soreness. Simone Fontecchio will likely move back to the Jazz bench if Markkanen is cleared. There will also be fewer shots available for Kris Dunn and Ochai Agbaji.
numberFire's models project Markkanen for 35.4 minutes and 37.0 FanDuel points on Wednesday.
