Fri Mar 27 201523:10Derrick Favors: Exits With Back Spasms
Favors exited Friday's game against the Nuggets in the fourth quarter with back spasms and will not return, the Salt Lake Tribune reports.
Favors was having a slow game prior to his exit with just seven points in 19 minutes, and it's likely the sore back was at least part of the cause, as Favors had tallied a double-double in three straight games entering Friday's contest. With the Jazz playing again Saturday, the back spasms could potentially cost Favors more action.

Favors posted 26 points, 13 rebounds, one steal, and one block in 32 minutes of action Wednesday against the Blazers.
Favors has been on fire lately, averaging 19.2 points, 10.4 rebounds, and 1.8 blocks over the last five games. Although he has been struggling from the line (66 percent on 5.8 attempts per game), he's still worth starting in all leagues.

Favors scored 19 points (8-13 FG, 3-7 3Pt) with 12 rebounds, four assists and two blocks in 42 minutes during Monday's OT loss to the Timberwolves.
It's his second straight double-double, and 21st of the season. Favors is also thriving on the defensive end alongside Rudy Gobert, averaging 2.4 blocks over his last seven games.
Sun Mar 22 201509:41Favors scored 21 points (8-15 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 4-5 FT) with 11 rebuo...
Favors scored 21 points (8-15 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 4-5 FT) with 11 rebuonds, two assists, one steal and two blocks on Saturday.
Favors has been the model of consistency all season long and has gained a bit of momentum in the past month, upping his scoring average to 17.8 points per game in that span. He's also stepped up on the defensive end, posting 15 blocks in the past six games. Favors is making a strong case to break into the top 30 to finish the season.

Favors was dominant again Saturday, scoring 26 points (8-14 FG, 10-13 FT) with just one rebound, one assist, two steals and four blocks in 35 minutes.
The one rebound is an odd return for a guy averaging 8.2 boards for the season, but the fact is that Favors has averaged 2.3 blocks in his last four, including eight combined in his last two and has topped 20 points in three of his last four games, with Utah clicking. Rudy Gobert's presence is reducing Favors' ability to grab boards, but his fantasy value is still fantastic.

Favors scored 15 points (5-14 FG, 5-8 FT) and added 10 rebounds, three assists, and a steal in 32 minutes against the 76ers Friday.
Favors is a consistent double-double threat, and he's been especially strong lately, tallying four double-doubles in his last seven games. Favors won't dominate any one category, but he is a solid contributor across the board.
Sat Feb 28 201508:10Favors recorded second double-double in three games Friday, scor...
Favors recorded his second double-double in three games Friday, scoring 21 points (7-10 FG, 7-8 FT) and grabbing 10 rebounds in 28 minutes and also tacked on three blocks.
Favors has now scored 11 or more points in 13 straight games, but this was just his second double-digit rebounding performance this month. Still, Favors is one of the better offensive big men in fantasy this season, averaging 16 points per game on 54 percent shooting.

Favors scored 14 points (6-15 FG, 2-4 FT) with 10 rebounds, three steals and a block in 31 minutes during Monday's win over the Spurs.
It's his first double-double in over a month, although he has scored in double digits in 11 straight games. Favors continues to provide solid big man numbers, although his production likely won't be impacted much by having Rudy Gobert as his partner in the frontcourt instead of Enes Kanter.

Favors scored 18 points (8-16 FG, 2-4 FT) with seven rebounds, two assists, two blocks and a steal in 34 minutes during Monday's win over the Pelicans.
He wasn't able to take full advantage of Anthony Davis' absence from the New Orleans' lineup, but Favors still had a solid game. The Jazz big man is now averaging 17.8 points, 6.0 boards, 1.4 blocks and 1.0 steals over his last five games.

Favors scored 20 points (9-17 FG, 2-3 FT) with nine rebounds, five assists and three blocks in the win against the Kings on Saturday.
This marks the third time in four games that Favors scored exactly 20 points. Favors has managed to increase his efficiency (54.1 percent FG) and scoring output (15.9 points per game) this season but is still an small disappointment as a former No.3 overall pick. He remains a solid, if unspectacular everyday starter in most leagues.

Favors put up 20 points (9-14 FG, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, one assist, three steals, and one block in 34 minutes against the Suns on Friday.
The pride of Georgia Tech had a solid all-around performance Friday as he continues to prove his worth across all formats. However, his rebounding totals have taken a dip of late with an average of just 4.7 in his last three contests. It's not likely anything to be concerned about as Favors still averages 8.2 rebounds over 46 games this season.
Thu Jan 29 201501:34Favors scored 18 points (8-13 FG, 2-4 FT), to go along with nine...
Favors scored 18 points (8-13 FG, 2-4 FT), to go along with nine rebounds and two blocked shots in 31 minutes during Wednesday's loss to the Jazz.
Favors scoring had dipped lately, as he had failed to score more than 13 points in his last four games previous to Wednesday. It's a good sign for fantasy owners that he's back on track, so look for him to score near his season average of 15.7 points moving forward. His rebounds haven't taken a dip at all, so he's still a reliable source of rebounds as well.
