James Harden (ankle) and Chris Paul (rest) will not play Wednesday in Rockets' regular season finale
The Houston Rockets are sitting out James Harden (ankle) and Chris Paul (rest) in their regular season finale against the Sacramento Kings.
What It Means:
The Rockets are coming off a game on Tuesday, and against a bad team in a meaningless game, this isn't surprising. Houston is sitting out eight players on Wednesday, so they will have a very short bench. R.J. Hunter, Gerald Green, and Joe Johnson are all entering the starting lineup and they should be in for heavy minutes on Wednesday.
Harden will end the regular season averaging 53.0 FanDuel points per game.
