Nene (back) ruled out for Houston
Houston Rockets forward/center Nene will sit against the Phoenix Suns due to lower back pain.
What It Means:
Nene has been a key big man off the bench for Houston as they've dominated the Western Conference. He's also started a handful of games, including on Tuesday against the Bulls in which he had 31.9 FanDuel points. Tarik Black could get extra minutes in Nene's absence.
Nene has averaged 6.7 points, 3.4 rebounds, and 13.8 FanDuel points per game.
