Pelicans' Rajon Rondo (rest) won't play Saturday against Rockets

According to The Advocate's Scott Kushner, New Orleans Pelicans point guard Rajon Rondo will not play in Saturday's game against the Houston Rockets.

What It Means:

New Orleans is on the front end of a back-to-back, so the 32-year-old will take a seat tonight. DeAndre Liggins will probably start, but look for Ian Clark to play more minutes as Jrue Holiday directs the offense.

Rondo was projected for 25.8 minutes and 26.3 FanDuel points before being ruled out. He's projected for 26.3 FD points Sunday against the Celtics.
