Trevor Booker could be in line to start at power forward Wednesday against the Trail Blazers.

Booker could be in line to start at power forward Wednesday against the Trail Blazers if Derrick Favors (illness) is unable to play, Aaron Falk of the Salt Lake Tribune reports.

Analysis:

Favors came down with the flu prior to Tuesday's practice, and wasn't present for Wednesday's morning shootaround, putting his status in doubt for later in the evening. Booker is considered coach Quin Snyder's top big man off the bench, so he'd more than likely occupy Favors' spot at power forward if Favors is ruled out shortly before tipoff. That said, Booker's modest averages of three points and four rebounds over 23 minutes per game this season don't project well over any slight uptick in playing time he might receive, so he still shouldn't be viewed as a high-end daily option if Favors ends up sitting.
