With Shane Battier traded to Memphis, Chase Budinger will replace him in the Houston starting lineup.

Terrence Williams will also move into the team's rotation.

Williams was acquired this season in a three-team trade from the Nets.

"All I know is guys are going to have chances to do things that maybe they weren't," Rick Adelman said. "We'll find out about Terrence. We'll find out what Chase can do starting. I'll just go from there. Everybody has an opportunity they didn't have before when you lose two of your top six players."

Williams has been increasingly frustrated by his lack of minutes since coming to the Rockets.

"I know how to play basketball," Williams said. "I think that's why I'm here. It's nothing new. I'm not going to be nervous if there is opportunity. I should be all right."
