Why is this a Lava World?Your planet's proximity to its star (1.70 AU) results in extreme surface temperatures of 1067K.
Lava worlds orbit so close to their stars that rocky surfaces melt into oceans of molten rock. Recent planet formation can also create temporary lava worlds.

Contributing Factors
water0
No water - the recipe has no hydrogen and oxygen to form it
geology50
Extreme volcanic activity may be hazardous (tidal flexing sustains geologic activity)
rotation10
Near tidally locked - one hemisphere perpetually scorched, other frozen, narrow habitable twilight zone only
Organic Chemistry20
Limited organic chemistry potential
atmosphere16
Atmosphere present but composition not ideal for life (partially stripped by slow rotation)
temperature5
Inferno world - temperatures exceed all possibility of life (large moon stabilizes the axial tilt - steady seasons)
magnetic Field100
Magnetic field provides radiation protection (a large close moon may help stir the core dynamo (speculative)) — but the black hole's accretion disk bathes this orbit in hard X-ray radiation

Outside the synchronous orbit: slowly receding, like Luna (~cm per year).
Tidal braking locked the planet to its moon: one face forever moonward.
