3 years agoCleveland Cavaliers forward Lauri Markkanen had a nice night against the Mavericks on Monday, finishing a 114-96 win with a season-high 24 points on 9-for-15 shooting. He nailed five three-point bombs with nine attempts and finished things off with eight rebounds, two assists and one steal in 33 minutes. Markkanen missed a lot of action earlier this month due to health and safety protocols, but he's returned to the lineup in impressive form, going for 20-plus points in three of four outings. The Finnish forward will face some tough defenses now, with games against Miami, Washington and Utah coming up, so Markkanen's form gets a big test this week.--Taavi Pailk - RotoBaller
