Derrick Favors coming off Oklahoma City's bench Friday night
Oklahoma City Thunder forward/center Derrick Favors will play with the second unit Friday in the team's game against the Houston Rockets.
What It Means:
Favors started in the season-opener on Wednesday, but that won't be the case in the second matchup of the year. Isaiah Roby will draw the start down low, and the veteran Favors will come off the bench.
Our models project Favors for 6.9 points, 7.9 rebounds and 22.9 FanDuel points across 21.5 minutes of action.
