With Derrick Favors (personal) returning to practice Sunday, Booker looks to be on track for a return to the bench for Monday's tilt with the Warriors, Jody Genessy of the Deseret News reports.

With Derrick Favors (personal) returning to practice Sunday, Booker looks to be on track for a return to the bench for Monday's tilt with the Warriors, Jody Genessy of the Deseret News reports.

Analysis:

Booker received a spot start Saturday against the Pelicans while Favors was away from the team, and made those who rolled with him in in DFS lineups look like geniuses after posting 13 points, 15 rebounds, three assists, three blocks, and two steals over his 38 minutes. It looks like his run as a value play will be short-lived, however, as Favors' return will likely result in Booker's minutes being cut in half. In 14 games this season, Booker is averaging four points, 5.9 rebounds, one assist, 0.9 steals, and 0.6 blocks over 20.9 minutes per contest.
