Terry will start Wednesday's game against the Pelicans in place of Patrick Beverley (wrist), Jenny Dial Creech of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Analysis:

Terry won't necessarily take on typical starter's minutes, but Patrick Beverley's absence still makes the 37-year-old guard a player of interest in some leagues. While the Rockets suggested Beverley will likely miss multiple games, coach Kevin McHale said he expects Pablo Prigioni and possibly Nick Johnson to help out with some of the missing minutes. It's more than you can reliably count on, but Terry has averaged 34.5 minutes in six starts this season.
