Lauri Markkanen scored 12 points on 5-of-12 shooting with four rebounds, four assists and two threes in the Bulls' 127-125 loss to the Pelicans on Wednesday.

Markkanen produced well on offense in this game but had zero blocks. Markkanen has top-40 upside but is an injury risk and because of his lack of defensive stats it's hard to reach for him in the middle rounds.

Bam Adebayo
C, Miami Heat

Bam Adebayo is not listed on the injury report ahead of Friday's potential series-clinching Game 5 vs. the Celtics after appearing to injure his wrist during Wednesday's game.

News was pointing in the right direction as Adebayo was at the Heat's optional practice earlier in the day. Expect the Heat to have their full complement of players on Friday as no rotation players are on the injury report. Only Gabe Vincent (right knee soreness) is questionable while Chris Silva (groin) remains sidelined.

De'Aaron Fox
PG, Sacramento Kings

Monte McNair explained that the Kings' draft strategy will generally be based on "best player available" and that the they will "look for talent and upside" on November 18.

The most illuminating part of this report is that the Kings will be looking at drafting the best player available. Had they used that approach in 2018 when they drafted Marvin Bagley second overall, the team may have ended up with Luka Dončić. The Kings currently have one pick in the first round (12th) and three second-round picks (35th, 43rd and 52nd)

Kevon Looney
PF-C, Golden State Warriors

Kevon Looney (core muscle surgery) was able to practice without restrictions during Thursday's session of the Warriors' minicamp.

Looney underwent core muscle surgery in May and appears to be fully recovered. It is worth monitoring how he progresses through minicamp as well as the team's upcoming training camp as Looney has dealt with injuries ever since injuring himself during the team's 2019 postseason run. This is a positive early sign as Steve Kerr told the media that "He seemed to come through practice really well."

Jake Layman
SF, Minnesota Timberwolves

Jake Layman revealed to the media that he is the player who recently broke his nose and has been playing with a mask on during minicamp practices.

Layman dealt with a toe sprain that kept him out of 39 contests last year. He could be in line for a larger role if he stays healthy, especially if the team doesn't re-sign restricted free agent Juancho Hernangómez.
