Derrick Favors likely getting starting nod in Game 2 for Utah

Utah Jazz forward/center Derrick Favors is expected to move into the starting lineup for Tuesday's Game 2 against the Los Angeles Clippers.

What It Means:

Rudy Gobert (knee) won't be available, so Favors should see a comparable workload to the 32 minutes he saw on Saturday in Game 1. He finished with 15 points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 block in that one. Expect more of the same on Tuesday.

As a starter this season (39 games), Favors averaged 10.3 points, 6.4 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 0.9 steals and 0.8 blocks in 25.9 minutes per contest.
