When the Houston Rockets host the Denver Nuggets on Friday, they could be without the services of Eric Gordon and Ryan Anderson, both of whom are questionable with individual ailments. If they are sidelined, that would make three major rotation guys -- including the already ruled out Trevor Ariza -- sitting this one out.

The primary beneficiary in that event? Gerald Green.

Over his last five games, Green has played 27.2 minutes a game while contributing an average of 22.4 FanDuel points and 0.82 per minute. Factoring in Gordon's possible absence, Green is at 0.89 FanDuel points per minute on a 22.5% usage rate sans Gordon. If both Gordon and Anderson are out, expect even more from the veteran flamethrower. In his 87 minutes without the two, Green is all the way up to 0.98 FanDuel points per minute with a higher usage rate, and you can bet that he'd be in for 30-plus minutes.

That amount of minutes in a game with the highest over/under (221.5) on the slate? And the highest implied team total (114.75), to boot? You don't have to do the math to know that Green's a must-have if the Rockets are shorthanded tonight.
