Rodney Hood upgraded to probable for Jazz on Monday

Utah Jazz forward Rodney Hood (back spasms) has been upgraded to probable for Monday versus the Golden State Warriors.

What It Means:

Hood was previously listed as questionable earlier in the day, but it looks like he will be good to go tonight. The injury didn't limit him on Saturday as he played almost 34 minutes against the New Orleans Pelicans. He hasn't missed any time with the back problems, and the expectation was always that he would play in a tough matchup against the best team in the league.

Hood is averaging 13.1 points, 3.1 assists and 2.4 boards in 29.5 minutes per game this season, and he owns a fairly efficient .534 true shooting percentage. His 2.1 nERD ranks 56th in the NBA. We project him to have 14.6 points, 4.0 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.2 steals against the Warriors.
