Utah's Rodney Hood (illness) to start Friday night

Utah Jazz guard/forward Rodney Hood is set to start against the Minnesota Timberwolves, reports the Salt Lake Tribune's Tony Jones.

What It Means:

Jones adds that Hood still isn't 100 percent as he deals with a stomach-related illness. It's the same issue that caused Hood to come off the bench in favor of Donovan Mitchell Wednesday night. In that game, Hood played just 18 minutes, which he should exceed even if he splits time with others on Friday.

At a price of $4,800, Hood is projected for 22.5 FanDuel points with 14.3 points, 3.6 rebounds and 1.4 assists in 29.3 minutes tonight in Minnesota.
