NBA Market Share Report: Sticking With Trae Young to Close the Season

Derrick Doin' Favors

As Utah continues to battle out West, Derrick Favors is quietly piecing together a decent fight of his own. He’s now hit at least five-times value in eight of his last ten games, including a recent monster showing of 23 points and 18 boards against the Bucks last week.

A quick glance at Utah’s remaining schedule won’t cause the least bit of concern, and our team rankings have them slated for another ten wins, both of which bode well for fantasy purposes.

Given Favors’ ability to walk out and snag a double-double on a given night, his salary makes him a nice value play even when averaging about 25 minutes a game. He’s playing some of his best basketball of the season, his confidence seems high, and the Jazz are a team strong enough to plow through the remainder of their schedule. Sign me up.

Favors and the Jazz take on Memphis tonight, followed by games against Oklahoma City, Phoenix, and Minnesota.
