Nene Hilario

Nene (knee) will return to play Thursday for Houston

Houston Rockets power forward/center Nene Hilario will be available on Thursday, reports Mark Berman of Fox 26.

What It Means:

Nene's been inching slowly toward a return, but he's finally back after a six-game absence. He should be back in the frontcourt rotation, meaning fewer minutes for Clint Capela and Tarik Black.

Over 14.9 minutes a game, Nene is averaging 14.4 FanDuel points on the year. Our models project him for 14.9 FD points at a cost of $3,600 against the Minnesota Timberwolves.
