Derrick Favors (eye) could attempt to play Saturday for Jazz
Utah Jazz forward/center Derrick Favors (left eye laceration) "will probably attempt to play" in Saturday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers, according to the Salt Lake Tribune's Tony Jones.
What It Means:
Favors got six stitches above his left eye on Friday, which forced him to leave the game early. However, Jones seems to think Favors will attempt to play on Saturday against Cleveland. With Rudy Gobert (knee) out tonight and for the next month, Favors will once again be a huge fantasy value when he starts at center. Ekpe Udoh should also see some more minutes.
Our models project Favors for 27.2 FanDuel points at a cost of $4,900.
