Derrick Favors: Expects to start at center Tuesday

With Rudy Gobert going down with a knee injury after less than in minute in
Saturday’s playoff opener, Favors stepped into a bigger role in the frontcourt,
posting 15 points, six rebounds, two assists and a block across 32 minutes.
Gobert has now officially been ruled out for Game 2, which means Favors is
expected to slide over to center and operate as the team’s fill-in starter. That
should mean another hefty workload for Favors, so it wouldn’t be surprising if
he approached the 32 minutes that he posted Saturday.
