LaMarcus Aldridge (knee) ruled out for Spurs on Monday

San Antonio Spurs forward/center LaMarcus Aldridge (right knee soreness) will not play against the Houston Rockets on Monday.

What It Means:

This is a new injury for Aldridge but doesn't sound like anything to be concerned about. Look for him to return on Tuesday in the second half of the Spurs' back-to-back set against the Orlando Magic. Davis Bertans will likely draw the start versus Houston while Rudy Gay and Joffrey Lauvergne could see a boost in playing time.

Aldridge is averaging 38.5 FanDuel points this season. Over the remainder of the year, numberFire's models project him to record 22.6 points, 9.4 rebounds, 2.9 assists, and 1.9 blocks per contest.
