LaMarcus Aldridge (rest) ruled out for Nets' second leg Wednesday
Brooklyn Nets forward/center LaMarcus Aldridge (rest) has been ruled out of Wednesday's game against the Houston Rockets.
What It Means:
The Nets are giving Aldridge and Kevin Durant (rest) the night off on the second leg of a back-to-back. Aldridge's minutes were reduced to the low 20s on Tuesday after he had played over 30 minutes in the previous three games. Blake Griffin, Paul Millsap, and Nicolas Claxton are all in line for more minutes with Aldridge and Durant on the sidelines.
Claxton and Griffin are numberFire's top-two point-per-dollar FanDuel values on Wednesday's 13-game slate. Claxton has a $3,500 salary and our models project him for 23.2 FanDuel points. Griffin has a $3,600 salary and is projected for 23.5 FanDuel points.
