DeMarcus Cousins (heel) sitting for Rockets Monday
Houston Rockets forward/center DeMarcus Cousins (right heel) will not play on Monday versus the Chicago Bulls.
What It Means:
Cousins will sit out because of a sore right heel amid reports that the Rockets are preparing to part ways with the veteran center. P.J. Tucker figures to log the most minutes at center Monday as Houston goes small. Danuel House, David Nwaba, and Jae'Sean Tate could also see time at the five. Justin Patton, who just signed a two-way deal with the Rockets, could also make his season debut.
House is numberFire's third-best value at the small forward position on Monday's six-game slate. Our models project him for 24.7 FanDuel points and he has a salary of $4,500 on Monday.
