Houston Rockets forward/center Nene Hilario is not out on Friday, reports the Houston Chronicle's Jonathan Feigen.
Nene was expected to miss this one, but Feigen adds that Tarik Black (hip) is probable and will serve as Clint Capela's backup center. Capela won't be forced to log heavier minutes with Black capable of handling some minutes off the bench.
Over 57 games, we project Nene to average 7.3 points, 4.1 rebounds and 15.9 minutes the rest of the 2017-18 season.
