Danuel House Jr., Ben McLemore Remain Sidelined Wednesday
4 years agoThe Houston Rockets will be without small forward Danuel House Jr. (back) and shooting guard/small forward Ben McLemore for Wednesday's contest against Indiana. Without the duo on the floor Monday, Jae'sean Tate and Sterling Brown continued to see minutes with the second unit, a role they figure to reprise so long as House and McLemore remain out. David Nwaba entered the starting lineup again, but he has been utilized primarily for his defensive abilities, making him a low-upside DFS asset. The next chance that the pair of sharpshooters will have at taking the floor comes Friday versus the Magic.

Ben McLemore Matches Season High With 28 Points
3 years agoPortland Trail Blazers shooting guard Ben McLemore returned from health and safety protocols with a 28-point effort in Friday's blowout loss to the Lakers, shooting 6-for-14 from downtown and 9-for-22 overall from the field. He added four rebounds in 30 minutes of action off the bench. McLemore now boasts two 28-point outings in his last four appearances. He is capable of racking up points in a hurry from deep, but the playing time isn't there for him on most nights. McLemore is averaging 14 minutes for the season, logging at least 20 minutes just five times in 18 appearances.

Ben McLemore Pops Up With 28 Points In Friday's Win
3 years agoPortland Trail Blazers shooting guard Ben McLemore ended up being one of the key figures in Friday's win over the Hornets, contributing 28 points in 27 minutes off the bench with 10-for-16 shooting. He had a fun time from outside, hitting 8-for-13. McLemore also tallied two rebounds with two steals and two turnovers. He exploded after posting back-to-back pointless games, so those who had the 28-year-old in their lineups will feel like lottery winners. Jackpots don't come along very often, though, and it's unlikely that McLemore can repeat his Friday's success in the upcoming games.
