Rockets' Nene Hilario: To sit out for rest Thursday

Hilario will sit out Thursday's game against the Trail Blazers for rest, Mike Richman of The Oregonian reports.

Analysis:

At 34 years old, the Rockets are just trying to give their veteran big man some additional rest, so he'll get the night off Thursday, but isn't in danger of missing additional time. He should be back in the lineup come Saturday's matchup with the Jazz, but in the meantime, his absence Thursday should provide additional minutes for Montrezl Harrell off the bench behind starter Clint Capela at center.
