Nene (rest, knee) officially out for Rockets on Thursday
Houston Rockets center Nene Hilario (knee, rest) will not play on Thursday night.
What It Means:
Nene typically sits out on the second half of back-to-backs like Thursday but would not have played either way due to a sore knee. With the veteran out Tarik Black will gain extra minutes as Clint Capela's backup against the Golden State Warriors.
Nene has averaged 7.4 points, 3.3 rebounds, and 14.4 FanDuel points in 14.9 minutes per game this season.
