Derrick Favors (knee) a GTD for Pelicans on Halloween
New Orleans Pelicans forward/center Derrick Favors (right knee soreness) is a game-time decision for Thursday's game against the Denver Nuggets.
What It Means:
Favors didn't practice on Tuesday after sitting out Monday's game. He averaged 8.7 points, 6.3 rebounds, and 2.0 assists in 20.3 minutes over the first three games. His absence Monday led to a start for Jahlil Okafor, but Jaxson Hayes stood out with 19 points (9-of-11 field goals, 1-of-3 free throws), 3 boards, 1 assist, 1 steal, and 1 block over 23.6 minutes.
numberFire's models project Favors for 15.3 points, 9.9 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 0.7 steals, and 1.5 blocks per contest over the remainder of the year.
