David Nwaba starting for Rockets on Saturday night
Houston Rockets guard David Nwaba is in the starting five Saturday in the team's game against the Portland Trail Blazers.
What It Means:
The Rockets have three of their assumed starters - John Wall, Eric Gordon and DeMarcus Cousins - sidelined due to COVID-19 regulations, so they'll put out a makeshift lineup for the first couple games of the season. Joining Nwaba will be James Harden, Danuel House, P.J. Tucker and Christian Wood against the Blazers.
Our models project Nwaba for 19.4 FanDuel points across 24.9 minutes of action.
