Steven Adams Steven Adams (ankle) questionable Wednesday
Tue, Dec 2, 2025, 12:41 PM
NBA Injury Report
Steven Adams (ankle) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Kings.
Analysis: Adams was given the night off on Monday, sitting out the second game of a back-to-back in Utah. However, his absence did not result in significant minutes for fellow reserve Clint Capela, who played nine minutes. If Adams misses another game, there's no need to consider adding Capela. |

Amen Thompson Amen Thompson tallies 23 points in loss to Utah
Mon, Dec 1, 2025, 6:54 PM
Amen Thompson amassed 23 points (8-of-16 FGs, 7-of-89 FTs), eight rebounds, three assists and two blocks in the loss to the Jaz on Monday.
Analysis: Thompson finished with at least 20 points for the third time in the last five games, with his production inside the arc being key on Monday. Despite the loss, his scoring was significantly higher than the five points he posted the night prior against the Jazz. Yet, Thompson didn't have nearly the same level of success as a facilitator this time around. Nonetheless, the third-year guard had a solid performance overall and should be able to secure another against the Kings on Wednesday. |

Alperen Sengun Alperen Sengün has monster 31/8/14/2/5 line Monday
Mon, Dec 1, 2025, 6:46 PM
Alperen Sengün finshed Monday's loss to the Jazz with 31 points (12-of-19 FGs, 6-of-8 FGs), eight rebounds, 14 assists, two steals, five blocks and one three-pointer.
Analysis: Sengün was fantastic in Monday's loss, reaching the 30-point mark for the third time this season while providing much more production as a rebounder and facilitator than the previous night against the Jazz. And as if his near-triple-double wasn't enough, the fifth-year center had his most dominant defensive performance of the season from a fantasy basketball standpoint, tallying seven stocks for the game. Sengün is likely to make a massive impact on the offensive end each time he takes the floor. If his defensive production can remain consistent, his floor and ceiling will rise even further in fantasy leagues. |

Kevin Durant Kevin Durant has 32/9/5 line in loss to Utah
Mon, Dec 1, 2025, 6:39 PM
Kevin Durant posted 32 points (10-of-25 FGs, 10-of-12 FTs), nine rebounds, five assists and two three-pointers in the loss to the Jazz on Monday.
Analysis: Durant was one of two Rockets to pass the 30-point mark on Monday in Salt Lake City. He tallied as many free throws as he did made field goals in this game, with high volume allowing his inefficient shooting to make enough scoring production to lead Houston in points. The two-time Finals MVP also tied a season-high in rebounds to fall just shy of a double-double. His five turnovers were one of his limited weaknesses on the night. He'll have a chance to put together another strong performance against the Kings on Wednesday. |

Steven Adams Steven Adams (rest) out Monday vs. Jazz
Mon, Dec 1, 2025, 9:51 AM
NBA Injury Report
Steven Adams (rest) is out for Monday's matchup with the Jazz.
Analysis: The Rockets are playing the second leg of a back-to-back set, and the veteran will sit out Monday's rematch with Utah. With Adams out of action, Clint Capela should see additional run off the bench. |

Steven Adams Steven Adams turns in double-double off bench
Sun, Nov 30, 2025, 12:34 PM
Steven Adams posted a double-double on Sunday with 13 points (2-of-4 FGs, 9-of-10 FTs), 12 rebounds, two assists, one steal and one block against the Jazz.
Analysis: Adams only logged 17 minutes in this game, but that was enough time for him to record his third double-double of the season. He was able to dominate down low, but also at the free throw line, which is typically a weakness for him. Adams is shooting a career-best 73.3 percent from the line after shooting 46.2 percent last year and 36.4 percent the year before. He'll only be worth consistently streaming when Alperen ?engün is unavailable, but this was a strong performance for him. |

Alperen Sengun ?engün scores game-high 27 points in win over Jazz
Sun, Nov 30, 2025, 12:29 PM
Alperen ?engün led the Rockets with 27 points (10-of-15 FGs, 7-of-9 FTs), four rebounds, five assists and one steal against the Jazz.
Analysis: ?engün didn't supply his typical dose of rebounds and dimes, but he was unstoppable as a scorer. He only played 28 minutes in the blowout win, so he could've had a better outing if the game was closer. Houston will remain in Utah to take on the Jazz once again on Monday, so ?engün should have no issues having another big scoring night. |

Kevin Durant Kevin Durant (personal) drops 25 points in return
Sun, Nov 30, 2025, 12:21 PM
Kevin Durant returned to the lineup on Sunday and contributed 25 points (10-of-14 FGs), six rebounds, four assists, three steals, one block and three three-pointers in a 129-101 win over the Jazz
Analysis: Following a two-game absence, KD was able to get back on track after struggling in his last two appearances. He shot 11-of-33 across his last two games, but in this one, he shot above 70 percent for the third time this season. Durant will continue to be an elite fantasy basketball option, even if his numbers are slightly down from his typical output. Hopefully this efficient shooting night will help kickstart his offense and lead to a strong run. They'll remain in Utah to take on the Jazz again on Monday. |

Steven Adams Steven Adams (ankle) available Sunday vs. Jazz

Vanessa Richardson
Steven Adams (ankle) is available for Sunday's matchup with Utah.
Analysis: Adams will be back in action after one game on the sideline. Expect him to handle his usual workload, while Clint Capela ??" who logged 18 minutes in Wednesday's win over Golden State ??" should see his role reduced. |

Steven Adams Steven Adams (ankle) questionable Sunday vs. Utah
Sat, Nov 29, 2025, 10:35 AM
NBA Injury Report
Steven Adams (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Jazz.
Analysis: Adams missed the Rockets' most recent contest, a win over the Warriors on November 26. Due to his absence, Clint Capela played 18 minutes off the bench. While Capela did grab 12 rebounds, the role isn't robust enough for him to be worth the risk in most fantasy leagues. Leave him on the waiver wire if Adams can't play on Sunday. |

Kevin Durant Kevin Durant (personal) off injury report vs. Jazz
Sat, Nov 29, 2025, 10:35 AM
NBA Injury Report
Kevin Durant (personal) is not on the injury report against the Jazz on Sunday.
Analysis: KD missed two games, but he'll be back to take on Utah to close out the week. Reed Sheppard started in his place and played really well. He should return to playing a reserve role, though there is certainly a chance he played well enough to maintain the starting spot. In that case, it would be Josh Okogie heading to the bench, though it is more likely that Sheppard returns to the sixth man role. |

Alperen Sengun Alperen ?engün scores 16 points vs. Golden State
Wed, Nov 26, 2025, 7:23 PM
Alperen ?engün logged 16 points (7-of-18 FGs, 2-of-5 FTs), six rebounds, six assists and one steal in Wednesday's win over the Warriors.
Analysis: On a night in which Kevin Durant was unavailable, ?engün didn't fully take advantage of the additional scoring opportunities left behind. He shot inefficiently from the field, didn't make a three-pointer, and was hardly impactful on the glass. Still, ?engün came up with a big basket down the stretch and finished as the Rockets' leader in assists. He's been less productive over the past few games, but should remain as one of the top centers in fantasy leagues moving forward. |

Jabari Smith Jabari Smith Jr. logs 15 points Wednesday vs. GSW
Wed, Nov 26, 2025, 7:17 PM
Jabari Smith Jr. produced 15 points (4-of-11 FGs, 5-of-7 FTs), four rebounds, two assists and two three-pointers in the win over the Warriors on Wednesday.
Analysis: Smith Jr. finished Wednesday as one of the Rockets' leading scorers despite not shooting a great percentage. He did have success from the three-point line, but wasn't able to land much production elsewhere. Yet, even with an unspectacular Wednesday performance, the fourth-year forward is putting together his highest-scoring and most efficient three-point shooting season of his career. He'll have a chance to log better numbers against the Jazz on Sunday. |

Kevin Durant Kevin Durant (personal) out Wednesday vs. GSW
Tue, Nov 25, 2025, 1:02 PM
NBA Injury Report
Kevin Durant (personal) is out for Wednesday's game against the Rockets.
Analysis: Durant will miss a second game for personal reasons, which should result in Reed Sheppard making another start. The second-year guard has played well this season, and he is worth rostering, especially with Durant unavailable. |

Jae'Sean Tate Jae'Sean Tate (personal) off injury report
Tue, Nov 25, 2025, 1:01 PM
NBA Injury Report
Jae'Sean Tate (personal) is not on the injury report for Wednesday's game against the Warriors.
Analysis: Tate will be available for Wednesday's game, and it could be a matchup in which he sees time. The Warriors only have one true big man playing consistent rotation minutes (Quinten Post), and the Rockets won't have Steven Adams (ankle). Tate won't be worth streaming in fantasy leagues, but he's worth watching with Tari Eason (oblique) also out. |

Steven Adams Steven Adams (ankle) out Wednesday vs.GSW
Tue, Nov 25, 2025, 12:54 PM
NBA Injury Report
Steven Adams (ankle) is out for Wednesday's game against the Warriors.
Analysis: Adams is dealing with right ankle tendinopathy and will miss Houston's final game before Thanksgiving. Clint Capela may pick up a few additional minutes off the bench, but he still is not at the point where he can be trusted in most fantasy leagues. |

Amen Thompson Thompson leads Durant-less Rockets past Suns
Mon, Nov 24, 2025, 7:45 PM
Amen Thompson matched a season-high with 28 points (10-of-16 FGs, 7-of-7 FTs), seven rebounds, eight assists and one block over 36 minutes on Monday, powering the Rockets to a 114-92 win over the Suns.
Analysis: Thompson took over as Houston's primary offensive catalyst with Kevin Durant ??" averaging a team-high 24.6 points per game ??" out of the lineup for the first time this season due to personal reasons, propelling the Rockets to their 11th time in their last 13 contests. They were in complete control from the outset of this one as Thompson knocked down 10 of 16 shots from the floor while also chipping in eight assists and seven rebounds in a stat sheet-stuffing performance worthy of a Thanksgiving feast. The 22-year-old burgeoning superstar has been hot recently, averaging 20.7 points, 7.7 rebounds, 5.3 assists and 2.3 steals over his last three games, delivering second-round value for fantasy purposes during that stretch. The Rockets return to action on Wednesday night with a challenging road tilt against the Warriors. |

Aaron Holiday Holiday drills six three-pointers in win over Suns
Mon, Nov 24, 2025, 7:41 PM
Aaron Holiday chipped in a season-high 22 points (8-of-17 FGs), two rebounds, two assists and two steals over 27 minutes off the bench in Monday's win over the Suns.
Analysis: Holiday drained six of 10 from beyond the arc while playing a season-high 27 minutes to provide a much-needed spark off the bench for a Rockets' offense playing without Kevin Durant for the first time this season. The -year-old sharpshooter scored 12 of his 22 points in the first half to help lift Houston to a nine-point lead at the break which they wouldn't relinquish. He doesn't offer enough of a role to make an impact for fantasy purposes but he's an important role player for the Rockets as they appear poised to make some serious noise in a loaded Western Conference. |

Steven Adams Steven Adams (ankle) available Monday vs. Phoenix
Mon, Nov 24, 2025, 3:16 PM
Kellan Olson
Steven Adams (ankle) is available for Monday's game against the Suns.
Analysis: Adams is available after being listed as questionable on the initial injury report. He'll provide depth off the bench as Alperen ?engün's backup at center. Josh Okogie has replaced Adams in the starting lineup for Monday's game. |

Jae'Sean Tate Jae'Sean Tate (personal) out Monday vs. Phoenix
Sun, Nov 23, 2025, 1:37 PM
NBA Injury Report
Jae'Sean Tate (personal) is out for Monday's game against the Suns.
Analysis: Tate has not been a consistent member of the Rockets' rotation this season, so his absence will not affect fantasy basketball. However, it does leave them down another frontcourt option, as Tari Eason (oblique) is already out. |
