Jazz rule out Derrick Favors (knee) and Rodney Hood (knee) against Cleveland

Utah Jazz forward/center Derrick Favors (knee) and shooting guard Rodney Hood (knee) have been ruled out for Thursday's meeting with the Cleveland Cavaliers.

What It Means:

Look for Joe Ingles to start in Hood's place, while Joe Johnson will likely draw another start in place of Favors. Favors will have his knee re-evaluated at some point in the next few days, while Hood is day-to-day after making an early exit from Wednesday's game due to knee soreness.

Our models project Ingles for 8.5 points, 3.4 rebounds, 3.1 assists and 1.2 steals in 29.4 minutes of action tonight against the Cavs.
