Hilario will not play in Sunday's game against the Nuggets due to rest purposes but will play Monday in Utah, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

With the Rockets playing a back-to-back set in high altitude Sunday and Monday, Houston will yet again take a cautious approach with the veteran big man. Without Hilario, Tarik Black could be in line to see additional minutes off the bench at center.

Nene is out for Wednesday's contest against the Kings for rest purposes, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Considering Wednesday's contest occurs on the second half of a back-to-back set, the veteran center will get the night off for rest. As a result, Tarik Black should see reserve center minutes.

Hilario had eight points (3-7 FG, 2-3 FT) and two rebounds in 14 minutes during Tuesday's 126-108 win over the Timberwolves.

EDGE Analysis

Hilario earned the least amount of playing time among the nine Rockets who saw the floor. However, Tarik Black was a healthy scratch while new addition Brandan Wright was held out as well. Hilario could have a hard time maintaining his current load of minutes (14.9 per through 39 appearances in 2017-18). He was already only useful in the deepest fantasy leagues, and now that Wright figures to cut into Hilario's minutes it's unclear what we can expect from the 35-year-old veteran going forward.

Hilario (knee) is available for Thursday's game against the Timberwolves, Mark Berman of Fox 26 Houston reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hilario has missed the last six games due to a knee injury, but his return Thursday will give the Rockets some much-needed depth in the frontcourt, especially with Trevor Ariza suspended for the next two contests. Hilario will likely take back the minutes Tarik Black has seen in his absence recently.

Hilario (knee) is listed as questionable in the Rockets' game notes for Thursday's game against the Timberwolves.

EDGE Analysis

Hilario did not travel with the team on its recent road trip and missed his sixth straight contest as a result. The Rockets will likely have an update on the big man by Thursday morning after shootaround. In his absence, Tarik Black has seen limited minutes off the bench with Clint Capela, Ryan Anderson and P.J. Tucker have handle majority of the frontcourt minutes.

Head coach Mike D'Antoni said Hilario (knee) will not travel with the Rockets on their upcoming road trip, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

As a result of Hilario not making the trip, it appears the veteran will miss a fifth and sixth game -- Friday against the Suns and Monday against the Clippers -- as he continues to work his way back from a bruised right knee. Tarik Black (eye) is also expected to miss Friday's game, so look for Clint Capela, Ryan Anderson and P.J. Tucker to see the majority of minutes in Houston's frontcourt.

Hilario (knee) is listed as out for Wednesday's game against the Trail Blazers.

EDGE Analysis

Hilario will miss his fourth consecutive contest with the bruised right knee and is seemingly considered day-to-day with the injury. His absence opens up more time on the second unit for Tarik Black, who is averaging 5.0 points and 3.3 rebounds in 13.7 minutes per game over the Rockets' last three contests.

Hilario (knee) is listed as out for Monday's game against the Bulls.

EDGE Analysis

Hilario is slated to miss a third straight game, as the Rockets continue to take a cautious approach with their veteran big man. It's still considered a bruise, so it doesn't appear to be anything overly serious and there's a reasonable chance he's ultimately back for Wednesday's game against the Trail Blazers. For now, consider him questionable for that contest and in Hilario's place Monday, look for Tarik Black to pick up a few extra minutes off the bench.

Nene (knee) is listed as out on the Rockets' game notes in advance of Saturday's game against the Pistons.

EDGE Analysis

Game notes can always change, but at this point the expectation is that Nene will sit out for a second consecutive game due to a bruised right knee. Assuming that's the case, expect Tarik Black to see a few extra minutes off the bench.

Hilario (knee) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Warriors, Tim MacMahon of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hilario was forced to leave Wednesday's contest early because of a bruised right knee and will now sit out the second night of the team's back-to-back set to avoid any further strain. While it doesn't sound like it's anything overly serious, there's still a chance he misses more time for precautionary measures, so consider him questionable ahead of Saturday's game against the Pistons. Ryan Anderson could pick up a few extra minutes in the frontcourt, while Tarik Black is also a candidate to see added playing time at center behind starter Clint Capela.
