Rockets' Nene Hilario: Dealing with bruised thigh
Hilario is dealing with a bruised right thigh, but is considered probable to play Friday against the Mavericks, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Analysis:
There doesn't seem to be much concern for Hilario needing a day off after playing 22 minutes off the bench in Wednesday's opener against the Lakers. This is likely the role he'll occupy all season, with Clint Capela holding a steady grip on the starting center duties.
