But they can still cruise to a victory while the Jazz hang in for some semi-competitive hoops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The key tonight is Markkanen (illness), who&#8217;s listed as questionable after missing eight of Utah&#8217;s past nine games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Markkanen&#8217;s recent absences, the Jazz went 1-7 with a -15.9 average point differential. Woof.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But in their past 15 games with their talented Finn, the Jazz are 8-7 and have covered this number 12 times. Don&#8217;t forget that Markkanen helped Utah to a 129-108 win on opening night vs. the Clippers, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"acq_only\"><strong>-&gt; <a href=\"https:\/\/online.northstarbets.ca\/page?key=ej0xMzUyNDU3MiZsPTEzNjY1NzMyJnA9MzExMjU%3D\">See player props on Lauri Markkanen, James Harden &amp; more<\/a>!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kawhi Leonard (knee) is back on the injury report and is questionable to play.
