Nene finished with seven points (2-5 FG, 3-7 FT), eight rebounds and one steal during Tuesday's 120-104 victory over the Wizards.

EDGE Analysis

Nene ended up being tagged as probable heading into the contest but word did not come through prior to tipoff regarding whether he would take the floor or not. He ended up seeing his usual workload and producing well, coming relatively close to a double-double.

Hilario (back) has been upgraded to probable for Tuesday's matchup with the Wizards, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hilario has missed two consecutive games with a sore lower back, but if all goes well during pregame warmups, he's expected to be available off the bench. That said, with Clint Capela healthy and starting as usual, Hilario will likely be stuck with minutes in the teens or low-20s as a reserve, which limits his overall fantasy impact.

Nene (back) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Wizards, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Nene has missed the last two games while nursing a sore lower back, but there appears to be some growing optimism regarding his status for Tuesday. Expect another update on Nene following the team's shootaround in the morning.

Nene (back) will not play in Sunday's game against San Antonio, Craig Ackerman of AT&T SportsNet Southwest reports.

EDGE Analysis

Nene will be missing his second straight game due to lower back soreness. Tarik Black handled much of the backup center duties in Nene's absence on Friday and will likely do so again Sunday. Looking ahead, Nene's next chance to play will be on Tuesday against the Wizards.

Nene (back) is questionable for Sunday's contest against the Spurs, Mark Berman of Fox 26 Houston reports.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran missed Friday's contest against the Suns as a result of some lower back soreness, which is apparently still giving him some discomfort. Look for him to test things out during Sunday's morning shootaround. After which, we should learn more about his status.

Nene will not play Friday against Phoenix due to a sore lower back, Mark Berman of Fox 26 in Houston reports.

EDGE Analysis

After playing a combined 36 minutes in the last two games, Nene will take the night off while battling some soreness in his lower back. Expect Clint Capela to handle the bulk of the workload at center, with Tarik Black in line for spot minutes off the bench.

Nene will get the start at center Tuesday against Chicago in the absence of Clint Capela, Mark Berman of Fox 26 in Houston reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Rockets will hold out Capela to rest Tuesday, opening up an opportunity for Nene to move into the starting five. The 35-year-old's minutes have been slashed of late, but he did play 15 minutes off the bench in Sunday's blowout win over the Hawks.

Hilario will be available for Sunday's game against the Hawks, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Rockets have held Hilario out for their past five games, but his absences were believed to be more for maintenance purposes than the result of any nagging injury. With Houston in pole position to secure the No. 1 seed in the Western Conference playoffs, the team will presumably pick its spots with the veteran center as the regular-season schedule winds down in order to have Hilario as fresh as possible for the postseason. Don't expect him to surpass the 20-minute mark Sunday.

Hilario (undisclosed) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Bucks, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Rockets didn't provide an exact reasoning behind Hilario's absence, but it's likely just a night off for rest for the veteran big man. He'll likely return for Friday's game against the Raptors, but in the meantime, look for Tarik Black to operate as the team's backup center behind Clint Capela.

Hilario will return to availability Monday against the Jazz after sitting out Sunday's game against the Nuggets to rest, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

No real news here, as Nene has been rested on one half of back-to-backs for most of the season. He played 16 minutes in a win over Minnesota on Friday and should be expected to see a similar workload Monday as the backup to Clint Capela.
