6 years agoUtah Jazz forward/center Derrick Favors was close to his first double-double of the season on Wednesday, finishing with eight points and eight rebounds in a 100-89 win over the Rockets. He shot 3-for-5 from the field and made both attempts from the charity stripe. Favors also had two blocks and one steal in the contest. Favors, who now has multiple blocks in consecutive games, got off to a great start to the year, posting an 18-point, nine-rebound game in the season opener, but he's since then struggled on offense, scoring only 21 points in three games. He should be able to get going again next time out though, as the Jazz play the Pelicans against whom Favors scored 13.5 points per game last season on 65 percent shooting.--Taavi Pailk - RotoBaller
