Nene (rest) is off the injury report ahead of Friday's contest against the Nuggets, Alykhan Bijani of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

There was some noise about Nene potentially being rested Friday. However, that appears not to be the case. In January, the veteran averaged 3.5 points and 2.5 rebounds in 11.8 minutes.

Nene is questionable for Friday's game against the Nuggets, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran has periodically been given rest this season, and he might not play Friday. That said, the expectation is that Nene will be available Saturday against the Jazz.

Hilario (rest) isn't listed on the Rockets' injury report ahead of Friday's game versus the Raptors.

EDGE Analysis

As has often been the case during his tenure with Houston, Hilario was held out in the Rockets' most recent game Wednesday in New York for maintenance purposes after he logged minutes in each of the team's preceding four contests. Hilario has entered the starting five on two occasions since Clint Capela (thumb) was shut down, but his path to a top-unit role (and playing time in general) is more muddled following the recent addition of Kenneth Faried. Faried should garner the majority of minutes at center in most of the Rockets' games moving forward, keeping his fantasy ceiling far higher than Hilario's.

Hilario (undisclosed) won't play in Wednesday's game against the Knicks, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

It's unclear why Hilario won't play Wednesday as he hasn't been reported to have any injuries or personal issues that would limit his play. The move may have something to do with the addition of Kenneth Faried to the roster and more will come out over the next couple games as to how coach Mike D'Antoni will decide to proceed with his rotation. Hilario hasn't played a huge role this season and is averaging just 4.1 points in 13.7 minutes per game.

Hilario had four points (2-2 FG) and one rebound in eight minutes during Monday's 121-93 loss to the 76ers.

EDGE Analysis

Hilario committed three fouls and was banished to the bench for the vast majority of the contest, as he couldn't cover Joel Embiid. The arrival of Kenneth Faried, who earned 23 minutes off the bench, as well as coach Mike D'Antoni's penchant for running small lineups with P.J. Tucker at center, likely minimizes Hilario's role despite the extended absence of Clint Capela (thumb).

Hilario is in the starting lineup for Monday's game against Philadelphia, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hilario will get the nod at center with Eric Gordon entering the lineup at small forward and James Ennis shifting to a bench role. Hilario figures to share time with recent acquisition Kenneth Faried until Clint Capela (thumb) returns to health sometime in February. Over his previous three contests, Hilario is averaging just 4.7 points, 3.7 rebounds and 1.0 assist.

Hilario will come off the bench Wednesday against the Nets, Alykhan Bijani of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hilario got the start Monday, but coach Mike D'Antoni opted for a small-ball approach Wednesday. He'll likely get additional run in the future however as Clint Capela (thumb), the primary center, is expected to miss between four-and-six weeks.

Hilario will start Monday against the Grizzlies, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hilario will step into the starting lineup for the first time all season with Clint Capela (thumb) sidelined. According to coach Mike D'Antoni, the big man is expected to play 18-to-20 minutes Monday, with Marquese Chriss and Isaiah Hartenstein picking up the rest of the slack. Hilario has played north of 15 minutes just four times this season, posting averages of 4.5 points and 3.0 rebounds in those appearances. At this point, it's still unclear if Hilario will remain in a starting role during Capela's entire absence (4-to-6 weeks).

Hilario has been ruled out of Sunday's game against the Magic, John Denton of OrlandoMagic.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hilario will get a day-off Sunday for rest purposes. His absence shouldn't affect the rotation much, as he's averaging just 13.5 minutes per game.

Hilario (rest) is off the injury report for Thursday's game against the Heat, Alykhan Bijani of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hilario rested on the first half of a back-to-back Wednesday against the Wizards, but he'll be available against Miami. Over his past three appearances, he's averaged 4.0 points, 4.3 rebounds and 1.0 assist.
