Lauri Markkanen

PF, Chicago Bulls

Lauri Markkanen (left ankle sprain) is being listed as probable for Saturday's game against the Pistons.

Markkanen played in the last one and the Bulls treat the injury report as a joke, so there's nothing to read into here. Markkanen has quietly been a top-40 asset in 9-cat leagues over the past month and looks to be the main beneficiary of the Wendell Carter Jr.'s injury, since he'll be picking up additional center minutes and will get a boost in rebounds as a result. He's someone to target in trades right now before a likely raise in value. His manager is probably sick of him right now.
