Lauri Markkanen Props For Jazz At Mavericks

Markkanen has been in a bit of a slump the past few games, going under his points prop in the past three straight games in which he played. He sat out the team’s last contest with a back issue. Perhaps that affected him, as his shooting was a bit subpar, making 24-for-52.
Well-rested after his breather, can he bounce back and go over his props against Dallas?
The Mavericks’ defensive numbers say yes. The 23rd-ranked defense according to Cleaning The Glass, they have understandably slipped to 26th over the past two weeks. Integrating Kyrie Irving at the expense of top defensive wing Dorian Finney-Smith will do that. Reggie Bullock figures to get the defensive assignment, but he’s giving up five inches to the Finnish scorer.
At a reduced price following the mini-drought, now may be time to buy back in on Markkanen. The only bugaboo could be Dallas’ pace, which ranks second to last as Luka Doncic prefers to walk the ball up. However, Irving may juice that slightly.
Bullock’s lack of size could also help Markkanen on the boards. Dallas has the worst rebounding rate in the NBA according to ESPN’s numbers. Look for Markkanen to hit double digits in rebounds.
A final note: Dallas does prevent above-the-break 3s better than any other team. Those make up the vast majority of Markkanen’s long-range attempts. A look at under makes sense here.
All of this assumes Markkanen gets a normal minutes load. With the team having lost three straight and seemingly angling to get a better draft pick, that remains an open question.
