Rotoworld Player News

Steven Adams

HOU Center #12

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Steven Adams (ankle) is not on the injury report for Friday’s game against the Timberwolves.

Adams played 25 minutes off the bench in Thursday’s loss to the Thunder. His absence from the injury report means he’ll be available for both ends of a back-to-back for the first time this season. Alperen Şengün is locked in as the starting center, which limits Adams’ fantasy upside.
Dorian Finney-Smith

HOU Forward #2

Dorian Finney-Smith (ankle) is not on the injury report for Friday’s game against the Timberwolves.

Finney-Smith is back after missing Houston’s last two games for injury management reasons. His return will likely mean fewer minutes for Reed Sheppard and JD Davison, with the latter possibly falling out of the rotation entirely.
Tari Eason

HOU Forward #17

Tari Eason (ankle) is questionable for Friday’s game against the Timberwolves.

Eason has missed Houston’s last three games, most recently sitting out Thursday’s loss to the Thunder. Josh Okogie has started the previous two, but his production in that role has been limited. Okogie losing minutes to Eason would not affect fantasy basketball, as he should not be rostered in most leagues.
Alperen Sengun

HOU Center #28

Alperen Şengün recorded 14 points (7-of-15 FGs), 13 rebounds, five assists and one block in Thursday’s loss to the Thunder.

Şengün recorded his 18th double-double of the season on Thursday, with this being the first time since before Christmas that he’s recorded one in consecutive games. The Rockets’ center’s fantasy progress was somewhat derailed by injuries that sidelined him for five of seven games after Christmas, but he appeared to be getting back on track. The good news for Şengün managers is that the Rockets still have two games left in Week 13.
Jabari Smith

HOU Forward #10

Jabari Smith Jr. finished Thursday’s loss to the Thunder with 17 points (5-of-15 FGs, 4-of-4 FTs), 10 rebounds, one assist, two steals, one block and three three-pointers.

While double-doubles have been the norm for frontcourt partner Alperen Şengün, that hasn’t been the case for Smith. On Thursday, he recorded his eighth of the season and second since going on a run of four consecutive games with a double-double in mid-December. Rostered in 47 percent of Yahoo! leagues, Smith has been a 12th-round player in eight-cat formats over the past month.
Kevin Durant

HOU Forward #7

Kevin Durant tallied 19 points (7-of-23 FGs, 5-of-5 FTs), seven rebounds, three assists, three steals and one blocked shot in Thursday’s loss to the Thunder.

The Rockets had a rough night shooting the ball, making 34 percent of their field-goal attempts overall and 7-of-24 from beyond the arc. Durant missed all five of his three-point attempts, but the production in other categories, most notably rebounds and steals, should help compensate for the inefficient scoring to an extent. He’ll look to bounce back on Friday in what should be another challenging matchup, as the Rockets host the Timberwolves.
Dorian Finney-Smith

HOU Forward #2

Dorian Finney-Smith (ankle) is out for Thursday’s game against the Thunder.

Finney-Smith will miss a second consecutive game due to left ankle injury management. Reed Sheppard and JD Davison both surpassed 20 minutes in Tuesday’s win over the Bulls, while Jae’Sean Tate played five minutes. While Sheppard is already rostered in standard leagues, there’s no need to leap Davison or Tate.
Tari Eason

HOU Forward #17

Tari Eason (ankle) will miss Thursday’s game against the Thunder.

Eason will miss his third straight game as he continues to recover from an ankle injury suffered against the Trail Blazers on January 9. Josh Okogie has most recently started in Eason’s spot and is a likely candidate to fill in again on Thursday as the Rockets look to win back-to-back games.
Amen Thompson

HOU Guard-Forward #1

Amen Thompson finished with 23 points (6-of-10 FGs, 10-of-10 FTs), five rebounds, two assists, two steals and one three-pointer on Tuesday against the Bulls.

Thompson has been on quite the scoring stretch, which continued in this game. He has scored at least 20 points in four straight games and in seven of his last eight appearances. However, the most impressive part has been his improvement at the free throw line. His free throw percentage has leaped up 12.2 percent this season, and he was outstanding from the line in this game. His last three games have been average, but prior to that, he went four straight games without missing a shot from the charity stripe. This is an encouraging development for Thompson’s upside as a shooter, which can lead to fantasy superstardom.
Kevin Durant

HOU Forward #7

Kevin Durant led the Rockets with 28 points (12-of-23 FGs), 10 rebounds, four assists and one three-pointer in a 119-113 win over the Bulls on Tuesday.

KD is always a consistent scorer, but his impact on the glass recently has been huge. This was his third double-double in his last five games, and he hasn’t scored less than 20 points in a game in over a month. Duran is the epitome of consistency and will continue to put up gaudy lines over the Rockets’ next three games this week, with the Thunder up next on Thursday.
