Rodney Hood (knee) returning to the Jazz starting lineup on Friday

Utah Jazz guard Rodney Hood (knee) will return to the starting lineup on Friday versus the Milwaukee Bucks.

What It Means:

Hood has sat out the last seven games with a knee injury, but he looks ready to return after having over three weeks off. The Nets will run him with the first unit right away, sending Joe Ingles back to the bench. Joe Johnson will lose some minutes as well with Hood back.

Hood is projected for 19.6 fantasy points on Friday in 25.5 minutes. He is averaging 13.7 points and 3.6 rebounds per game with a -0.6 nERD rating this season.
