Booker will get the nod for Derrick Favors (illness) on Monday versus the Jazz.

Analysis:

Favors left morning shootaround as a result of flu-like symptoms, but his status for Monday's game remained up in the air. However, the illness is severe enough to hold him out, allowing Booker to earn his first start of the season. With per-36 output of 13.8 points (on 52 percent shooting), 7.4 rebounds, 1.9 assists, and 1.2 steals this season, he could be a decent streaming option for those in need of frontcourt production.
