Tari Eason Tari Eason logs 16 points off the bench vs. Utah
Fri, Apr 3, 2026, 4:56 PM
Tari Eason finished Friday's win over the Jazz with 16 points (7-of-10 FGs), seven rebounds and two three-pointers.
Analysis: Eason continues to find a bit of a rhythm ahead of the NBA playoffs and at the tail end of the fantasy playoffs. He made multiple three-pointers for the third time in the last four games and has now scored at least 15 points in four of his last five appearances. Eason's new reserve role could be of high importance for the Rockets as the postseason nears. At his best, he can impact the game as a defender and multi-level scorer. |

Thompson was one of the Rockets' most productive players on the night. Despite a 34-point victory, he still logged 32 minutes and displayed his usual versatility on both ends of the floor. Efficient shooting inside the arc allowed him to conclude as one of two Houston players with at least 20 points. Meanwhile, his work on the defensive glass was a major factor in his team-high rebounds. As the fantasy season is nearing its conclusion, Thompson will have taken another step forward in Year 3. His potential remains high.

Fri, Apr 3, 2026, 4:43 PM
Kevin Durant amassed 25 points (8-of-12 FGs, 7-of-8 FTs), five rebounds, six assists, two blocks and two three-pointers in the win over the Jazz on Friday.

In addition to scoring, the decorated forward excelled on the glass and was also one of Houston's leaders in assists on the evening. A 34-point win ultimately limited Durant to 30 minutes of action, but he still produced fairly well in his opportunities. The Rockets will close Week 23 on the road against the Warriors. |

Kevin Durant totaled 19 points (7-of-16 FGs, 3-of-4 FTs), five rebounds, nine assists, one block and two three-pointers in the win over the Bucks on Wednesday.
Analysis: Durant played more of a facilitating role in Wednesday's victory. He was Houston's leader in assists, which nearly led him to a double-double.

Friday's matchup against the Jazz will present ?engün with another opportunity to log big numbers. |

Tari Eason HOU starting Amen, Tari, KD, Jabari, ?engün
Tue, Mar 31, 2026, 12:22 PM
Will Guillory
Amen Thompson, Tari Eason, Kevin Durant, Jabari Smith Jr. and Alperen ?engün will start against the Knicks on Tuesday.
Analysis: Head coach Ime Udoka said that the decision to start Eason over Reed Sheppard was based on the matchup, so Sheppard could return to start against the Bucks on Wednesday. However, Eason will get the nod for this game and will look to stay hot after averaging 15.5 points and 7.5 rebounds over his last two games. |

Jabari Smith Jabari Smith Jr. hits four triples, scores 20
Sun, Mar 29, 2026, 3:59 PM
Jabari Smith Jr. amassed 20 points (7-of-15 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), four rebounds, three assists, two blocks and four three-pointers in Sunday's win over the Pelicans.
Analysis: Smith was unable to extend his run of double-doubles to three games, but he has scored 20 points or more in three of his last six. The Rockets forward shot 4-of-9 from beyond the arc, and the two blocks moved his total to four over the last three games. Since the All-Star break, Smith has provided sixth-round value in eight-cat formats. While there have been occasional hiccups, his production has been more consistent than it was earlier in the season. |

Kevin Durant Kevin Durant records 20 points, six assists
Sun, Mar 29, 2026, 3:59 PM
Kevin Durant tallied 20 points (7-of-16 FGs, 5-of-5 FTs), four rebounds, six assists, one steal and one three-pointer in Sunday's win over the Pelicans.
Analysis: With Alperen ?engün dominating on both ends of the floor, Durant's 1-of-7 night from beyond the arc was not an issue. He still hit 20 points and dished out six assists, so this was not a bad night for him by any stretch of the imagination. Since the All-Star break, Durant has provided first-round value in eight-cat formats. The Rockets begin a four-game Week 23 on Tuesday against the Knicks. |

Alperen Sengun Alperen ?engün goes off, posts 36/14/7/3/3 line
Sun, Mar 29, 2026, 3:58 PM
Alperen ?engün finished Sunday's win over the Pelicans with 36 points (12-of-23 FGs, 7-of-8 FTs), 14 rebounds, seven assists, three steals, three blocks and five three-pointers.
Analysis: After recording consecutive 30-point games, ?engün was limited to 14 in Friday's win over the Grizzlies. To say he got back on track in New Orleans would be accurate, as the Rockets' center was dominant in all phases. ?engün finished three assists shy of a triple-double, and the six defensive contributions were a great bonus for fantasy managers. The Rockets play four games in Week 23, starting on Tuesday against the Knicks, which is excellent news for those rostering ?engün. |

Fri, Mar 27, 2026, 5:20 PM
Jabari Smith Jr. recorded a double-double on Friday with 21 points (7-of-16 FGs, 5-of-8 FTs), 16 rebounds, four assists, one block, two three-pointers and five turnovers against the Grizzlies.
Analysis: Though the turnovers put a damper on his outing, he was able to set a new season high for rebounds in the win. This was his second straight double-double, with the most recent one before that coming before the All-Star break. Smith has struggled with his shot lately, and this game wasn't an exception. Still, he was able to make up for it on the glass, though he's going to have to do a lot more to make an impact for fantasy managers. |

Kevin Durant Kevin Durant turns in 25/6/10 line vs. Memphis
Fri, Mar 27, 2026, 4:54 PM
Kevin Durant led the Rockets with 25 points (8-of-14 FGs), six rebounds, 10 assists, one steal and three three-pointers in a 119-109 win over the Grizzlies on Friday.
Analysis: KD has been on an offensive tear as of late, averaging 29.4 points, 4.4 rebounds, 6.4 assists and 3.6 triples while shooting 54.9 percent from the floor over his last five games while scoring at least 25 points in each. This was his third point-assist double-double of the season, and while he has been able to contribute assists at a decent rate this year, managers shouldn't expect many more double-doubles. |

Amen Thompson Amen Thompson posts 11/9/10 line Wednesday vs. MIN
Wed, Mar 25, 2026, 7:23 PM
Amen Thompson totaled 11 points (4-of-8 FGs, 3-of-3 FTs), nine rebounds, 10 assists and two blocks in Wednesday's loss to the Timberwolves.
Analysis: Thompson's 45 minutes of action featured noteworthy activity on both ends of the floor. Offensively, he picked his spots as a scorer and, on limited field-goal attempts, narrowly made it to double figures in points. Yet, the third-year guard set the table well for the others en route to his second double-digit assist performance of the season. He got after it on the defensive boards and also collected a couple of stocks before narrowly missing a triple-double. Thompson remains one of the Rockets' more reliable players on a nightly basis and should continue to be productive throughout the rest of the season. |

Alperen ?engün amassed 30 points (12-of-22 FGs, 6-of-6 FTs), six rebounds, three assists and four blocks in the loss to the Timberwolves on Wednesday.
Analysis: 20 of ?engün's points came after halftime. He shot efficiently and made several timely blocks on the defensive end down the stretch, ultimately leading to a team-high in blocked shots. The 30-point outing marked the second consecutive for the fifth-year center, who continues to provide during the fantasy playoffs. A third straight 30-point outing could be on the horizon when the Rockets face the Grizzlies on Friday. |

Kevin Durant Kevin Durant tallies 30/3/8 line in OT loss to MIN
Wed, Mar 25, 2026, 7:07 PM
Kevin Durant added 30 points (9-of-22 FGs, 10-of-12 FTs), three rebounds, eight assists, two steals, one block and two three-pointers in the loss to the Timberwolves on Wednesday.
Analysis: Durant struggled for most of Wednesday's contest. He had shot only 3-of-14 from the field through the first three quarters, but came alive in the fourth period and in overtime in what was a game of huge momentum swings. Durant ultimately reached the 30-point mark for the second straight time, each time coming in losses. However, his production continues to be significant in fantasy leagues throughout the playoffs. |

Amen Thompson Amen Thompson adds 23 points Monday vs. Chicago
Mon, Mar 23, 2026, 5:17 PM
Amen Thompson totaled 23 points (8-of-12 FGs, 7-of-9 FTs), three rebounds, one assist, two steals and two blocks in Monday's loss to the Bulls.
Analysis: Fresh off a game-winning putback layup, Thompson put forth another efficient scoring performance, albeit in a loss. He missed his only three-point attempt but was fantastic inside the arc and productive at the charity stripe. Uncharacteristically, the fourth-year guard didn't make a difference as a facilitator, and he tallied his fewest rebounds of March. Still, Thompson's versatile skill set led to some activity on the defensive end, helping boost his final stat line. |

Alperen Sengun Alperen ?engün logs triple-double in loss to CHI
Mon, Mar 23, 2026, 5:05 PM
Alperen ?engün finished Monday's loss to the Bulls with 33 points (16-of-19 FGs, 0-of-3 FTs), 13 rebounds, 10 assists, two steals, two blocks and one three-pointer.
Analysis: ?engün was very active on both ends of the floor on Monday. In the loss, he logged 37 minutes and nearly as many points, thanks to an extremely efficient shooting performance. The do-it-all center also attacked the glass hard to finish as the only Rockets player with double-digit rebounds. And the double-digit assists helped ?engün tally another triple-double on the season. Even with some back tightness, he continues to play and produce good numbers and be valuable in fantasy leagues. |

Kevin Durant Kevin Durant scores 40 points in loss to Chicago
Mon, Mar 23, 2026, 4:58 PM
Kevin Durant tallied 40 points (15-of-23 FGs, 5-of-8 FTs), seven rebounds, five assists and five three-pointers in the loss to the Bulls on Monday.
Analysis: In a high-scoring affair on Monday, Durant was unsurprisingly one of the contest's most productive players. He logged a game-high 40 minutes and used that time to make the Bulls pay both inside and outside the arc. The two-time Finals MVP also made contributions on the glass and finished the game just above his regular-season average in assists. The balanced effort was not enough, however, as Houston walked away with its third loss in the last five games. The Rockets will face the Timberwolves on Wednesday in a game that could have a big impact on the playoff picture. |
