Justin Patton playing off Rockets' bench Wednesday

Houston Rockets center Justin Patton is not in the starting lineup versus the Golden State Warriors on Wednesday.

What It Means:

Christian Wood is returning from a lengthy absence for an ankle injury and Patton will move back to the second unit as a result. It's unclear what sort of role Patton will play with Wood active.

numberFire’s models project Patton for 28.5 minutes and 27.9 FanDuel points versus the Warriors. He has a salary of $4,700 on Wednesday’s 10-game slate.
