Nene Hilario

Nene Hilario (Achilles) not expected to suit up Friday for Rockets

Houston Rockets forward/center Nene Hilario is not expected to play on Friday against the Charlotte Hornets.

What It Means:

Unofficially listed as out in the team's game notes, the Rockets will more than likely sit the veteran as he deals with an Achilles issue. Backup Tarik Black (hip) is also questionable for the matchup, so Clint Capela could see minutes in the mid-30s on Friday night.

Nene is averaging 15.6 FanDuel points and 14.7 minutes per game this season. With him out on Wednesday, Capela logged 31.5 minutes and 56 FanDuel points.
