SALT LAKE CITY — Utah Jazz fans will get their first chance to see their team play at home tonight. As a bonus, it's looking like they'll get their first chance to see Derrick Favors play since the first game of the preseason almost a month ago.

Favors, who's been dealing with left knee soreness and an IT band issue, went through this morning's shootaround with the team.
