Austin Rivers (elbow) probable for Rockets Thursday

Houston Rockets guard Austin Rivers (sore right elbow) is probable to play on Thursday versus the Los Angeles Lakers.

What It Means:

Rivers missed last Wednesday's game. He will help provide depth off the bench in place of Iman Shumpert (knee) but has played fewer than 18 minutes in each of his last two appearances.

numberFire's models expect Rivers to log 23.2 minutes and score 14.5 FanDuel points on Thursday, at a cost of $3,500.
