3 years agoHouston Rockets shooting guard Jalen Green (rest) and point guard Kevin Porter Jr. (thigh) have been cleared to play in Tuesday's game against the Lakers, but both will face a minutes cap of sorts. Houston is easing the 19-year-old Green back into action after nearly a month on the sidelines, while Porter will be making his first appearance since Dec. 3. With the heralded youngsters back on the floor, Armoni Brooks and Josh Christopher are likely to see their roles reduced significantly, bumping them from DFS appeal. While Green and Porter will have their minutes managed, they stand to benefit from L.A.'s league-leading pace rating, which stands to allow them to maximize their time on the floor.--Jesse Borek
