The Utah Jazz will be without power forward Derrick Favors tonight as they take on the Dallas Mavericks tonight. The long-time Jazzman will be out with left knee soreness reports Eric Walden of the Salt Lake Tribune.
Derrick Favors has been averaging 10 points and 7 rebounds a game for the Utah Jazz. This most certainly will mean that Jae Crowder will start in place of the injured Favors. While this may seem like it opens more minutes for Crowder—it does—it also means a lot more minutes for Ekpe Udoh.
