NBA Top Five Performances, Jan. 5: Lauri Markkanen Drops Career-High 49 Points The Jazz forward continues to shine in his first season with Utah.

JANUARY 6, 2023 • NEWSOBSERVER.COM

Blows up for career-high 49 points Markkanen ended Thursday's 131-114 win over the Rockets with 49 points (15-27 FG, 6-15 3Pt, 13-13 FT), eight rebounds, one assist and one block over 36 minutes.

Impact Markkanen was spectacular in the victory, landing a career-high 49 points, buoyed by a perfect 13-of-13 mark from the line. His breakout season continues, as he currently sits inside the top 15 in 12-team leagues. He has scored at least 28 points in six consecutive appearances, adding double-digit rebounds three times. Markkanen is the No. 1 fantasy player over the past two weeks, so managers are enjoying what has been an incredible season thus far.

'Yeah, you're our guy': How Lauri Markkanen has become the No. 1 option for the Jazz With the Jazz letting him find his comfort zone all over the floor, Markkanen has become the Jazz's best player and go-to guy late in games.

Notches 28 points in loss Markkanen recorded 28 points (6-15 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 15-15 FT), eight rebounds and one assist over 36 minutes during Tuesday's 117-115 loss to Sacramento.

Impact Though Markkanen appeared to send the game to overtime when he fielded an in-bound pass and threw up a last-second heave that went in the basket, officials ruled that the forward's shot came after the clock ticked to zero. As such, Markkanen missed out on a 30-point outing, but he still kept the Jazz in the game throughout and finished with another stellar stat line. Even though the 19-21 Jazz have slid down the standings after a hot start to the season, Markkanen's career-best campaign continues. He's scored no fewer than 18 points over his last 10 games, averaging 28.6 per game over that stretch while shooting 53 percent from the field, 44.8 percent from downtown and 93.2 percent from the charity stripe.

Impact Markkanen scored 23 of his game-high 36 points in the second half on 11-of-15 shooting from the field, but his valiant effort on offense still wasn't enough as the Jazz fell to Sacramento on the road for their third straight loss. It was Markkanen's ninth game this season with 30 or more points, though he failed to knock down more than one three in the contest for the first time since Nov. 21.
