Rotoworld Player News

Steven Adams

HOU Center #12

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Steven Adams had eight points (4-of-7 FGs, 0-of-4 FTs), 11 rebounds, two assists and one steal against the Suns on Monday.

Adams returned from an ankle injury and started in place of Alperen Sengun (ankle) against the Suns on Monday. The 32-year-old center had eight points and 11 rebounds in 31 minutes. Clint Capela only played nine minutes off the bench so it’s clear the Rockets prefer to rely on Adams with Sengun out.
Kevin Durant

HOU Forward #7

Kevin Durant had 26 points (9-of-21 FGs, 6-of-6 FTs), 10 rebounds, four assists, one block and two three-pointers in the Rockets’ 100-97 victory over the Suns on Monday.

With the score tied at 97 and the clock winding down, Durant hit a game-winning three-pointer from the right wing with less than one second left in regulation. It was the kind of clutch shot that Durant has become known for over the course of his career, which will one day be enshrined in the Hall of Fame. He’s still a top fantasy player, providing top-15 per game value over the last two weeks. The Rockets will be back on the floor Wednesday against the Trail Blazers.
Alperen Sengun

HOU Center #28

Rockets coach Ime Udoka said Alperen Şengün (ankle) is expected to miss 10-14 days.

He also said Şengün will be re-evaluated at the end of this week. If he misses 10-14 days, he’ll miss at least five more games and could miss as many as eight. Steven Adams will start in his place, with Clint Capela filling out the backup center minutes until then.
Steven Adams

HOU Center #12

Steven Adams (ankle) is available for Monday’s game against the Suns.

Adams is set to return after missing the last two games with a right ankle sprain. The 32-year-old center is suddenly of greater importance with Alperen Sengun set to miss two weeks with an ankle injury. Adams is rostered in just seven percent of Yahoo! leagues, but could be worth a look in deeper formats with Sengun sidelined.
Alperen Sengun

HOU Center #28

Alperen Şengün (ankle) is out for Monday’s game against the Suns.

Şengün sprained his right ankle early in Saturday’s loss to the Mavericks and did not return. Who starts in his place likely depends on the availability of Steven Adams (ankle), who is questionable after missing the last two games. He’ll likely start if he can play, with Clint Capela holding onto the role if Adams can’t.
Steven Adams

HOU Center #12

Steven Adams (ankle) is questionable for Monday’s game against the Suns.

Adams has missed Houston’s last two games with a sprained right ankle. His availability gained importance when Alperen Şengün left Saturday’s loss to the Mavericks after spraining his right ankle just over a minute into the game. If Adams can’t play, Clint Capela would get another start in the middle.
Amen Thompson

HOU Guard-Forward #1

Amen Thompson recorded 20 points (8-of-18 FGs, 4-of-4 FTs), 12 rebounds, four assists, three steals and one blocked shot in Saturday’s loss to the Mavericks.

Surprisingly, Thompson has only recorded six double-doubles this season, with Saturday’s being his first since December 15. If Alperen Şengün has to miss time after exiting Saturday’s game with a sprained right ankle, Thompson could receive a boost in the assist category. Over the past two weeks, he has offered top-20 per-game value in eight-cat formats. The Rockets play four games in Week 12.
Tari Eason

HOU Forward #17

Tari Eason finished Saturday’s loss to the Mavericks with 16 points (6-of-16 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), 10 rebounds, two assists, two steals and two blocked shots.

Saturday’s double-double was Eason’s first since moving into the Rockets’ starting lineup, and he’s capable of producing those stat lines consistently. Depending on the diagnosis for Alperen Şengün, who sprained his ankle during the first quarter of Saturday’s defeat, there may be a greater need for what Eason brings to the table, especially as a rebounder. He’s still rostered in 33 percent of Yahoo! leagues, which is too low for Eason. He should be a popular option for those competing in category leagues going into Week 12.
Kevin Durant

HOU Forward #7

Kevin Durant accumulated 34 points (14-of-26 FGs, 4-of-5 FTs), five rebounds, seven assists, three blocks and two three-pointers in Saturday’s loss to the Mavericks.

With Houston losing Alperen Şengün to a sprained right ankle just over a minute into Saturday’s game, Durant was needed to do even more offensively. Despite even more defensive attention, he shot over 50 percent from the field and was a steal shy of a complete stat line. Over the past two weeks, Durant has offered top-15 per-game value in eight-cat formats. The Rockets play four games in Week 12, starting with the Suns on Monday.
Alperen Sengun

HOU Center #28

Alperen Şengün (ankle) will not return to Saturday’s game against the Mavericks.

Şengün rolled his right ankle within the first two minutes of Saturday’s game and walked back to the locker room shortly thereafter. At halftime, the Rockets announced that he would not return. Clint Capela started the third quarter and could remain in that role if Houston doesn’t have Şengün and Steven Adams.
