ANALYSIS
Markkanen couldn't find his shooting touch from beyond the arc Wednesday and has struggled in this area of late. He's now 8-for-28 (28.6 percent) from downtown over his last three appearances. However, this hasn't stopped Markkanen from putting up serviceable scoring numbers, and he's now scored 20 or more points in all eight games to open the 2025-26 campaign.
