Thunder's Derrick Favors: Plays 21 minutes in starting role
Favors ended with nine points (4-7 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six rebounds, two assists and one steal in 21 minutes during Wednesday's 108-100 victory over New Orleans.
Favors continues to shift in and out of the starting lineup, making him a very hard player to trust in fantasy. When given ample playing time, he has shown he can still be a 12-team contributor. Unfortunately, this trend seems likely to stick and so he should really be viewed as just a streaming option.

Thunder's Derrick Favors: Back in starting five Wednesday
Favors will start Wednesday's game against the Pelicans, Joe Mussatto of The Oklahoman reports.
The Thunder continue to alternate starting centers based on matchups, and they'll go with Favors to combat a more traditional big man in New Orleans' Jonas Valanciunas. In his last start Thursday against the Lakers, Favors posted 10 points and 12 boards in 28 minutes. Jeremiah Robinson-Earl will shift to the bench Wednesday.

Thunder's Derrick Favors: Starting Wednesday
Favors will start Wednesday's matchup against the Lakers, Rylan Stiles of BricktownBuckets.com reports.
Favors' playing time has been all over the place, but he'll get the nod at center Wednesday. In his two starts this season, he's totaled 10 points, 14 rebounds, two assists, one steal and one block in 39 minutes.

Thunder's Derrick Favors: Will rest Tuesday
Favors will be held out of Tuesday's game against the Warriors for rest purposes.
Rest and unpredictable rotations are part of the deal when it comes to any Thunder players, so it's not terribly surprising to see Favors get a night off one week into the regular season. Isaiah Roby, who did not see the floor in Sunday's loss to the Sixers, will presumably return to the rotation, while Jeremiah Robinson-Earl and Mike Muscala will also be candidates to see minutes -- or even start -- at center Tuesday.

Thunder's Derrick Favors: Offers little in starting role
Favors closed with just six points (3-6 FG), five rebounds, one assist and one steal in 19 minutes during Sunday's 115-103 loss to Philadelphia.
Favors moved back into the starting lineup to match the size on the other end of the court, but he saw just 19 minutes of playing time and offered little evidence that he can be a viable fantasy asset this season. His role appears as though it could fluctuate from one night to the next, so there's no reason to target him outside of deeper fantasy formats.

Thunder's Derrick Favors: Starting Sunday
Favors is starting Sunday against Philadelphia, Joe Mussatto of The Oklahoman reports.

Thunder's Derrick Favors: Coming off bench Friday
Favors isn't starting Friday's game against the Rockets, Rylan Stiles of BricktownBuckets.com reports.

Thunder's Derrick Favors: Plays just 20 minutes in heavy loss
Favors totaled four points (2-9 FG), nine rebounds, one assist and one block in 20 minutes during Wednesday's 107-86 loss to the Jazz.
Favors shifted into the starting lineup for the season opener but failed to deliver in what was a disappointing debut for the Thunder. Up against his former team, Favors was simply no match for the size of the Jazz, and his playing time reflected that. It is likely he remains in the starting lineup for the time being, but we would expect that to change at some point during the season. Until then, he is worth considering as a backend 12-team option, albeit one with very little upside.

Thunder's Derrick Favors: Starting season opener
Favors will start Wednesday's game against the Jazz, Rylan Stiles of BricktownBuckets.com reports.
Favors is expected to primarily serve as Oklahoma City's secondary center this season, but he'll start the season opener at Utah, where he's spent the majority of his career. Coach Mark Daigneault indicated that context was partially responsible for the move, and he wanted to "acknowledge" Favors' connection with the Jazz. Isaiah Roby will come off the bench Wednesday but should reclaim starting duties soon enough.
