Rockets' Tari Eason: Keeps up strong defensive play
Eason finished Monday's 126-119 win over the Pacers with 13 points (5-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal in 29 minutes.
Eason continues to supply reliable numbers in the defensive categories, and he should stick with the first unit as long as Alperen Sengun (calf) remains sidelined. Over his last five games (three starts), Eason has averaged 11.6 points, 5.0 rebounds, 1.6 steals and 1.0 blocks in 21.9 minutes per game.

Rockets' JD Davison: Garbage-time appearance
Davison produced two points (2-2 FT), one assist and one steal over two minutes during Monday's 126-119 win over the Pacers.
Davison remained in the rotation, albeit for his fourth straight garbage-time appearance. It's been a forgettable season thus fa for Davison, who's averaging 3.2 points and 1.3 assists in 8.0 minutes per contest across 15 games. At this stage, he holds no value in any fantasy format.

Rockets' Clint Capela: Grabs seven boards
Capela registered six points (3-4 FG, 0-1 FT), seven rebounds and one assist in 13 minutes during Monday's 126-119 victory over Indiana.
Capela continues to play limited minutes, despite the fact Alperen Sengun remains out due to a calf injury. Although Capela's best is now behind him, an ankle injury to Steven Adams during Monday's game could potentially open up even more playing time for the veteran. If both Adams and Sengun are ruled out for Thursday's game against the Nets, Capela could have some limited streaming appeal for fantasy managers in need of a boost in rebounds and blocks.

Rockets' Jabari Smith: Double-doubles in win
Smith racked up 21 points (8-16 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 10 rebounds, two assists and three blocks across 34 minutes during Monday's 126-119 victory over the Pacers.
Smith continues to put together the best season of his career, recording his fifth double-double in the past nine games. Consistency has been an issue for Smith in the past, an element of his game that he appears to have worked on. Through 29 games, Smith has been a top-90 player, averaging 15.8 points, 6.9 rebounds, 2.3 three-pointers and 1.5 combined steals and blocks.

Rockets' Kevin Durant: Drops 30 points in victory
Durant contributed 30 points (13-20 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-3 FT), six rebounds, five assists and one block across 34 minutes in Monday's 126-119 win over the Pacers.
Durant turned in an efficient performance from the field and finished as Houston's leading scorer. The superstar has recorded 30 points in back-to-back outings, and he has now scored 22 or more in eight straight games. The veteran forward also finished second on the Rockets in assists, dishing out at least five for a third consecutive contest. Durant has been especially productive of late, averaging 26.2 points, 6.0 assists, 5.8 rebounds and 1.0 blocks per game over his last five outings.

Rockets' Steven Adams: Downgraded to out
Adams has been ruled out for the remainder of Monday's game against the Pacers due to a right ankle sprain, Vanessa Richardson of Space City Home Network reports. He totaled eight points (3-4 FG, 2-6 FT), five rebounds and one block in 22 minutes prior to exiting.
Adams departed Monday's action in the third quarter, and after being evaluated further, Houston has decided to shut the big man down for the night. His availability for Thursday's game in Brooklyn is up in the air at this point.

Rockets' Steven Adams: Leaves for locker room
Adams (undisclosed) exited to the locker room in the third quarter of Monday's game against the Pacers, Will Guillory of The Athletic reports.
It's unclear why Adams headed to the locker room, though he can be considered questionable to return until more information comes to light. With Alperen Sengun (calf) unavailable, Clint Capela should see increased playing time if Adams is unable to return.

Rockets' Alperen Sengun: Won't suit up Monday
Sengun (calf) won't play Monday against the Pacers.
Sengun was unable to shake his questionable tag and will be sidelined for a second straight game. His next chance to play comes Thursday against Brooklyn. In his absence, the Rockets will likely rely more on Steven Adams and Clint Capela.

Rockets' Alperen Sengun: Iffy for Monday
Sengun (calf) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Pacers.
Sengun is in jeopardy of missing his second consecutive contest due to left calf tightness. If the star big man is ultimately ruled out, Steven Adams and Clint Capela are candidates for increased playing time. In nine appearances this month, Sengun has averaged 23.4 points, 9.9 rebounds, 6.4 assists, 2.2 steals and 1.3 blocks in 34.7 minutes per game.

Rockets' Reed Sheppard: Career-high five steals Saturday
Sheppard totaled 18 points (5-12 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three rebounds, eight assists, one block and five steals in 32 minutes off the bench during Saturday's 117-100 victory over Cleveland.
The second-year guard played most of the fourth quarter in a big win, and Sheppard tied his career high in assists while setting a new personal best in swipes. He's been a big part of the Rockets' second unit this season, and over the last 10 games Sheppard is averaging 13.9 points, 4.1 assists, 2.8 boards, 2.8 threes and 1.4 steals in 26.7 minutes per contest.

Rockets' Amen Thompson: Just misses double-double in win
Thompson logged 13 points (6-14 FG, 1-5 3Pt), nine rebounds, four assists and one block in 33 minutes during Saturday's 117-100 win over the Cavaliers.
The third-year guard likely would have had his sixth double-double of the season in a more competitive contest, but the Rockets were up by 27 heading into the fourth quarter and Thompson called it a night midway through the final frame. The fourth overall pick in the 2023 NBA Draft has scored in double digits in eight straight games, averaging 18.6 points, 8.1 boards, 5.8 assists and 1.3 steals over that stretch while shooting 59.4 percent from the floor.

Rockets' Kevin Durant: Goes for 30 in win Saturday
Durant ended Saturday's 117-100 win over the Cavaliers with 30 points (11-17 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 6-7 FT), four rebounds and seven assists in 29 minutes.
Durant turned back the clock with an efficient performance, and he carried the Rockets to a comfortable 17-point win over the Cavaliers. This was Durant's third game with 30 or more points across his last six outings, and it'd be fair to say he's going through his most prolific stretch of the campaign. Durant is also on a run of seven straight games with 20-plus points, averaging 27.0 points per game during that span.

Rockets' Steven Adams: Starting sans Sengun
Adams is in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Cavaliers, Tanner Nichols of IE Sports Radio reports.
The veteran big man will move to the first unit due to the absence of Alperen Sengun (calf). Adams doesn't bring the same skill set as Sengun, but he's an excellent rim protector and rebounder. Adams is averaging 5.7 points, 8.6 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 0.6 blocks per game across 23 appearances (five starts) this season.

Rockets' Alperen Sengun: Out vs. Cleveland
Sengun (calf) is out for Saturday's game against the Cavaliers, Tanner Nichols of IE Sports Radio reports.
Sengun will miss Saturday's contest due to left calf tightness, meaning Steven Adams will jump into the starting lineup while playing alongside Jabari Smith in the frontcourt. Sengun will aim to return to the hardwood when the Rockets take on the Pacers on Monday.

Rockets' Alperen Sengun: Iffy for Saturday
Sengun is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Cavaliers due to left calf tightness.
Sengun was also listed as questionable ahead of Thursday's win over the Lakers due to the calf issue, though he suited up and recorded 14 points (5-7 FG, 4-4 FT), 12 rebounds, four assists and one steal across 31 minutes. If he's unable to go Saturday, Steven Adams and Clint Capela are candidates for increased roles. Over his last five appearances, Sengun has averaged 19.4 points, 9.2 rebounds, 5.2 assists, 1.6 steals and 1.2 blocks in 33.2 minutes per game.

Rockets' Jabari Smith: Scores 16 points against Lakers
Smith supplied 16 points (6-9 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, one block and two steals across 36 minutes during Thursday's 119-96 victory over the Lakers.
Smith helped his side to victory with a decent effort Thursday. He has been quite consistent in his scoring production lately, racking up more than 15 points in eight of his last nine contests, though his performance is more erratic in other areas. The forward will look to remain reliable for playing time as a regular starter going forward.
