Derrick Favors (back) is a game-time call for Jazz

Utah Jazz center Derrick Favors (back) is a game-time call versus the Houston Rockets on Monday.

What It Means:

He has missed five games in a row, and he was a game-time call for the last two games. The team ruled out any structural damage, so he is still considered day-to-day. If he continues to sit, Jeff Withey will draw another start.

Favors has been great this season, evidenced by his 14th-ranked 8.0 nERD. He's averaging 16.8 points, 8.6 rebounds, 1.5 steals and 1.2 blocks through 26 games this season. We project Withey to score 9.5 points, grab 8.5 boards and record 1.3 assists tonight, should Favors not go.
