Jazz PF Derrick Favors OUT on Monday vs. Rockets

Already without starting center Rudy Gobert, the Utah Jazz will now be without power forward Derrick Favors on Monday against the Houston Rockets. Favors, who suffered an eye laceration last week, is day-to-day.

In Favors' absence, Ekpe Udoh will draw the start. In his last fill-in start against the Cleveland Cavaliers, Udoh scored nine points with three steals, six blocks, three assists and seven rebounds. He is an excellent bargain DFS play on Monday night and is worth an add in deep leagues as a source of rebounds and blocks this week with Gobert out and Favors day-to-day.
