Logs double-double in loss Markkanen closed with 18 points (6-13 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 10 rebounds and one assist in 26 minutes during Tuesday's preseason loss to San Antonio.

Impact Markkanen did exactly what was expected, flirting with a double-double and adding a pair of triples, while offering very little else. Despite a somewhat empty fantasy stat set, Markkanen is in a perfect spot to thrive, so managers are going to have to start reaching into the middle rounds of some leagues to secure his services.

Impact The former Cavaliers and Bulls forward made his preseason debut with Utah, and if this performance is a sign of things to come, then he should be one of the team's go-to players on offense.
