Derrick Favors is expected to play for Jazz on Friday

Utah Jazz forward Derrick Favors (knee) is expected to play against the Los Angeles Lakers on Friday.

What It Means:

Favors has been practicing the last couple of days and went through shootaround on Friday, which means it appears he will suit up against the Lakers. Favors will be on a minutes limit, but it's unknown how much he will be limited after missing the last three weeks.

Our yearly projections have Favors averaging 16.1 points and 8.1 rebounds over 31.9 minutes per game this season.
