Derrick Favors out for Jazz on Monday night
Utah Jazz forward Derrick Favors (back) will not play against the Houston Rockets on Monday.
What It Means:
Center Jeff Withey will get another start at center while forward Trevor Booker will likely see more run off the bench. Favors has now been out for six games, but he should be back this week. The Jazz really need some healthy bodies up front.
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.
