Rockets' Ben McLemore making first start of season Wednesday night
Houston Rockets shooting guard Ben McLemore is starting on Wednesday versus the Los Angeles Clippers.
What It Means:
Eric Gordon (knee) and Danuel House (back) are both out, so McLemore is making his first start in a Rockets uniform. His last start was on April 11, 2018 as a member of the Memphis Grizzlies. Look for Austin Rivers and Gary Clark to see more run off the bench.
numberFire's models project McLemore for 18.1 FanDuel points on Wednesday. He's priced at $3,500. Per numberFire's NBA Heat Map, the Rockets have the second-highest implied total (118.25 points) on Wednesday and are favored by 2.5 points over the Clippers in a game featuring the highest over/under of the slate (234.0 points).
