Derrick Favors (back) expected to play in Game for Utah

Utah Jazz forward Derrick Favors (lower back soreness) is expected to play in Game 1 versus the Golden State Warriors on Tuesday.

What It Means:

Favors missed practice on Monday and was limited in shootaround this morning but is still expected to give it a go Tuesday night. The big man may be limited in Game 1 as it appears he is not 100 percent.

Favors has played 26.3 minutes with 10.0 points, 6.4 rebounds, 1.4 assists, and 1.0 steals per game in the postseason.
