Utah's Derrick Favors (back) questionable for Game 1
Utah Jazz forward Derrick Favors (lower back soreness) did not practice on Monday and is being listed as questionable for Tuesday's Game 1 matchup with the Golden State Warriors.
What It Means:
With all the injuries Favors has dealt with in his career, it is hard to believe a little back soreness will keep him out of a playoff game. He is likely sitting out on Monday to ensure his back is in good shape to play on Tuesday. If for some reason Favors is unable to play, Boris Diaw and Jeff Withey will see an uptick in their minutes versus the Warriors.
numberFire's models project Favors for 10.3 points, 6.3 rebounds, 1.2 assists, 0.9 steals and 0.9 blocks in 24.2 minutes in Game 1.
