Nene Hilario sitting out on Friday, Rockets start Clint Capela versus Chicago
Houston Rockets forward/center Nene Hilario (groin) will not play against the Chicago Bulls on Friday night, with center Clint Capela earning the start.
What It Means:
Nene totaled only 30 minutes of playing time over the past two games, so he wasn't in your fantasy lineups anyways. Capela will be starting his third consecutive game since returning from a leg injury, increasing his workload each game. He played over 31 minutes -- his most since November -- against the Atlanta Hawks on Thursday.
Capela is projected for a big night versus Chicago with 14.1 points, 9.0 rebounds and 2.1 blocks in 28.5 minutes at a $4,900 price tag.
