Jae'Sean Tate resting Tuesday for Rockets versus Nuggets
Houston Rockets small forward Jae'Sean Tate (right ankle injury maintenance) is out Tuesday versus the Denver Nuggets.
What It Means:
Tate will take a seat for the first leg of the Rockets' back-to-back, but he should return for Wednesday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. Jalen Green is the favorite to replace Tate in the starting lineup on Tuesday. There will also be additional minutes for Tari Eason, Josh Christopher, and Usman Garuba.
numberFire's models project Green for 30.2 minutes and 30.4 FanDuel points on Tuesday, and he has a $7,400 salary on the Main slate. Per our NBA Heat Map, the Rockets’ implied total (110.75) is tied for second-lowest out of 20 active teams today.
