Favors compiled six points (3-3 FG), one rebound and one block over 11 minutes in Friday's 124-116 loss to the Heat.
EDGE Analysis
Favors didn't get many looks from the floor Friday, but he was perfect in his limited opportunities in the loss. After posting his second-highest scoring total of the season Wednesday against the Lakers, he reverted to the mean on the scoreboard Friday and was unable to generate much production in other areas.

Favors had eight points (2-2 FG, 4-4 FT), four rebounds and a block in Monday's win over the 76ers.
EDGE Analysis
Favors doesn't play enough minutes to be fantasy-relevant in most leagues, but he continues to be an effective backup to Rudy Gobert at center. Over the last three games, Favors has totaled 24 points on 9-of-9 shooting, while hitting all six of his free throw attempts.
