The Rockets acquired center
Derrick Favors from OKC on Thursday. In addition, Houston is also receiving
Ty Jerome,
Theo Maledon, and
Maurice Harkless in exchange for
David Nwaba,
Sterling Brown,
Trey Burke, and
Marquese Chriss. Favors averaged 5.3 points and 4.7 rebounds in 39 games with the Thunder in 2022-23. While the veteran's career is seemingly nearing an end, he likely has some solid performances left in the tank. With that said, if
Alperen Sengun goes down with an injury this season, Favors will earn streaming appeal in deep formats.

Oklahoma City Thunder forward
Derrick Favors has opted in to his player option for the upcoming season. The 30-year-old will accept his $10.2 million option and remain with the team for the 2022-2023 campaign. This isn't too shocking as it's unlikely Favors would get more than $10 million in free agency. The former third overall pick has put together multiple successful seasons during his time with the Utah Jazz. Although, his best days are behind him as he'll likely play a minimal role off the bench with the Thunder next season.

Oklahoma City Thunder forward/center
Derrick Favors won't play against the Bulls. After logging 28 minutes against the Philadelphia 76ers on Friday evening, finishing with 16 points, nine boards, and five assists, the veteran will get the night off on Saturday to rest. As a result,
Isaiah Roby should take Favors' place in the starting lineup, although he likely won't see enough minutes to make a dent on the fantasy end.

Oklahoma City Thunder center
Derrick Favors (rest) will be held out for Thursday's game against the Suns. The move comes as a precautionary one after the 30-year-old Favors logged 20 minutes in a start Wednesday vs. Denver. Favors has started three of the past four games for Oklahoma City, with his absence marking his first since Dec. 2. While the veteran traditionally holds down a consistent role for the Thunder when available, he has scored in double figures just four times this season. Fantasy managers can anticipate him being a full go for Sunday against the Pelicans.
