What It Means:

This is encouraging news after Hood suffered the knee contusion in Wednesday's loss to the New Orleans Pelicans, so we'll consider him an optimistic questionable for Friday's tip with the Denver Nuggets. Elijah Millsap or Joe Ingles (oral surgery) would have the opportunity to start if Hood can't go.

Hood sits at 108th with a -3.2 nERD on the season. He's averaging 11.8 points, 2.6 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.4 three-pointers a game.
