Kevin Porter Jr. (foot) active at Rockets shootaround
Houston Rockets shooting guard Kevin Porter Jr. (left foot contusion) participated in the Tuesday morning shootaround.
Porter might be able to play for the first time since January 11 on Tuesday versus the Denver Nuggets, but the Rockets haven't indicated how much he participated in shootaround and they are still listing him as questionable. TyTy Washington is expected to be sent to the bench once Porter is cleared. There will also be less work for Josh Christopher in the second unit.
numberFire's models project KPJ for 29.3 minutes and 29.4 FanDuel points on Tuesday, and he has a $7,500 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.
