Rodney Hood (ankle) will not play Friday night for Utah

Utah Jazz guard/forward Rodney Hood (ankle) will not play Friday night against the New Orleans Pelicans.

What It Means:

Hood will miss his third consecutive game with ankle soreness on Friday night. The reserve guard had been on a hot streak, scoring 19 or more points in three of his last four games. Expect Alec Burks to continue to see an uptick in minutes off the bench on Friday night.

Hood had averaged 31.8 FanDuel points in his last four games.
