The Utah Jazz have a series of players in danger of missing Monday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies, according to a report by Tim MacMahon of ESPN.
Rodney Hood, one of only two starters to have played every game this season, is questionable to play due to a nasty cold, which he's battled through during the past two games.
Forward Derrick Favors, who had just started to get in a groove offensively, is also questionable with left knee soreness – the same knee that's kept him out for most of October. The team is likely to play a careful approach as he's had recurring issues with that same knee.
New acquisition George Hill will be a game-time call for the fifth straight game with a thumb injury. If he sits, Dante Exum and Shelvin Mack will share the point guard duties against a Grizzlies team hoping to get back to the .500 mark.
Boris Diaw is also questionable with a right leg contusion. The Jazz will need him if Favors sits today. Forward Trey Lyles is bound for big minutes either way with his ability to stretch the floor.
Regardless of today's absences, a lot will be resting on the shoulders of forward Gordon Hayward, who has scored 20 or more points in his five games since coming back from a finger injury.
Favors, Hill and Diaw were all participants during morning shootaround. Head coach Quin Snyder will provide an update on their status close to tip-off.
