P.J. Tucker (illness) expected to play for Rockets Tuesday

Houston Rockets guard/forward P.J. Tucker (illness) is expected to play against the Denver Nuggets on Tuesday.

What It Means:

Tucker also played through the illness on Sunday, finishing with 12 points and 5 rebounds in over 39 minutes. "Yeah, I take pride in playing games for sure," said Tucker after going through shootaround. "It takes a lot for me to miss a game. I don't like missing games. The Indiana game, I was pretty bad. I think most people wouldn't play at all. For me to play 39 minutes, it's pretty crazy." The 33-year-old veteran is averaging a career-high 35.9 minutes per game this season.

numberFire's models project Tucker for 23.5 FanDuel points at a cost of $4,500 on Tuesday.
