Houston's Nene (calf) doubtful to play in Wednesday's season opener
Houston Rockets forward/center Nene Hilario (calf) is doubtful to play in Wednesday's season opener.
What It Means:
Nene is dealing with some right calf tightness and is not expected to play on Wednesday against the New Orleans Pelicans. With Nene and Marquese Chriss likely out, Clint Capela is expected to see heavy minutes.
Our models project Nene for 3.2 points and 1.8 rebounds in 7.6 minutes per game this season.
