Rockets giving Nene the night off on Thursday
Houston Rockets forward/center Nene Hilario (rest) will not play against the Portland Trail Blazers on Thursday.
The Rockets are on the back of end of a double-header, so the 34-year-old will take it easy on Thursday night. With Nene sitting, Clint Capela becomes an intriguing DFS play, while Montrezl Harrell should see more run.
numberFire's metrics say Capela is the third-best value play on FanDuel Thursday night. We project him to score 10.8 points with 9.9 rebounds, 1.9 blocks and 1.1 steals in 29 minutes of action versus Portland.
