Rudy Gobert (knee) was cleared to return from a two-game absence and Boris Diaw
stuck in the lineup as the starting power forward, relegating Favors to a
second-unit gig. Despite the demotion, Favors still turned in his best game of
the series, recording his points in very efficient fashion. Since the Clippers
will be missing Blake Griffin (toe) for the rest of the series, it’s possible
that the Jazz will look to exploit the opposition’s lack of depth down low,
which would work to the benefit of Favors and Gobert.
