What It Means:

This will be Nelson's second consecutive game on the sidelines and should mean another heavy dose of backcourt minutes for Rajon Rondo, Jrue Holiday, and E'Twaun Moore tonight in Houston.

Nelson is averaging 16.6 FanDuel points in 24 games this season. Over the remainder of the year, numberFire's models project him to record 7.1 points, 4.2 assists, 2.1 rebounds, 1.0 3-pointers, 0.7 steals, and 1.5 turnovers per game.
