Rockets' Tari Eason: Listed questionable for Thursday
Eason is questionable for Thursday's game against the Pelicans due to a right oblique strain.
The injury has prevented Eason from playing since the middle of November, but the forward appears to be on the verge of returning. Eason is likely to carry a minutes restriction if he gains clearance for Thursday, but his eventual presence is still projected to eat into the minutes of Josh Okogie in the frontcourt.

Rockets' Reed Sheppard: Mixed bag in defeat
Sheppard finished with 14 points (5-17 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, one assist, one block and two steals in 32 minutes during Monday's 128-125 overtime loss to the Nuggets.
Sheppard's output Monday was perhaps a step in the right direction, considering his production had been on the decline of late, but the shooting inefficiency does leave a lot to be desired. With Tari Eason (oblique) nearing a return, Sheppard will likely need to heat up to maintain significant minutes. Over his last seven outings, the second-year guard has averaged 9.9 points, 4.0 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 1.4 steals in 25.9 minutes per game.

Rockets' Amen Thompson: Big workload in OT loss Monday
Thompson registered 14 points (5-13 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 4-5 FT), 12 rebounds and six assists in 44 minutes during Monday's 128-125 overtime loss to the Nuggets.
The 44 minutes were a season high for Thompson, helping him record his fifth double-double of 2025-26, but the Rockets have been leaning heavily on the third-year guard of late. Thompson played at least 40 minutes in four of the last 11 games, averaging 37.5 minutes over that stretch while producing 17.5 points, 8.7 boards, 5.4 assists and 1.4 steals.

Rockets' Jabari Smith: Second straight double-double
Smith totaled 16 points (6-11 FG, 4-6 3Pt), 10 rebounds, four assists and one block in 43 minutes during Monday's 128-125 overtime loss to the Nuggets.
The double-double was his fourth of the season, and two of them have come in the last two games. Smith has recorded all four of them since Nov. 16, and during that span, the fourth-year forward is averaging 15.8 points, 7.3 boards, 2.3 assists, 2.2 threes and 1.5 combined blocks and steals.

Rockets' Kevin Durant: Busy at both ends of court Monday
Durant contributed 25 points (8-14 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 7-8 FT), five rebounds, seven assists, five blocks and one steal in 44 minutes during Monday's 128-125 overtime loss to the Nuggets.
The five rejections were not only a season high for Durant, but they also equaled his total from his prior 13 games combined. The future Hall of Famer also scored at least 25 points for the fifth time in seven contests since returning to the Rockets after attending to a personal matter in late November. Over that stretch, he's averaging 25.3 points, 5.4 assists, 4.3 boards, 2.0 threes, 1.1 blocks and 0.9 steals while shooting 53.3 percent from the floor and a sizzling 50.0 percent (14-for-28) from beyond the arc.

Rockets' Alperen Sengun: Posts triple-double in OT loss
Sengun finished Monday's 128-125 overtime loss to the Nuggets with 33 points (14-27 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 5-6 FT), 10 rebounds, 10 assists, two steals and a block across 42 minutes.
Sengun engaged in a back-and-forth battle with Nikola Jokic, as both players posted a triple-double in this heavyweight matchup, but at the end of the day, the Rockets' big man couldn't avoid the defeat for Houston. This was Sengun's first triple-double of the 2025-26 campaign, and he's now posted either a triple-double or a double-double in his last four appearances dating back to Dec. 1.

Rockets' Tari Eason: Not playing Monday
Eason (oblique) is out for Monday's game against the Nuggets, Vanessa Richardson of Space City Home Network reports.
Head coach Ime Udoka clarified that Eason's absence from Monday's game isn't a setback in his injury but rather general soreness after a workout. The forward hasn't played in a month while dealing with an oblique injury, so his absence shouldn't have a lot of fantasy ramifications. His next chance to play will come against the Pelicans on Thursday.

Rockets' Tari Eason: Questionable for Monday
Eason (oblique) is questionable for Monday's game in Denver.
Eason hasn't played in a month, so if he is cleared for Monday's game, he'll likely have some minutes restrictions. Eason's return would result in fewer minutes for Jae'Sean Tate.

Rockets' Tari Eason: Eyeing Monday return
Eason (oblique) could return as early as Monday against the Nuggets, Vanessa Richardson of Space City Home Network reports.
Eason hasn't taken the court since Nov. 14 due to a right oblique strain, but he's seemingly nearing a return to play. Head coach Ime Udoka noted Saturday that the team is hopeful Eason can gain clearance to suit up for Monday's clash, though the training staff will need to see how sore he feels following Saturday's practice. More clarity on his status should come closer to Monday's tipoff.

Rockets' Jabari Smith: Double-doubles in win
Smith amassed 18 points (6-14 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 10 rebounds, four assists and one steal over 37 minutes during Thursday's 115-113 victory over the Clippers.
Smith recorded the third double-double of his season in Thursday's win. Through 21 regular-season contests, Smith is on pace for eighth-round value in nine-category formats on a per-game basis with 15.4 points, 6.6 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 2.0 three-pointers.

Rockets' Josh Okogie: Scores eight points in win
Okogie posted eight points (3-6 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, two assists and one steal in 21 minutes during Thursday's 115-113 victory over the Clippers.
Okogie continues to play a key role for Houston, though his fantasy impact isn't as good as his real-life impact. Across 22 appearances, Okogie holds averages of 6.6 points, 2.9 rebounds, 1.0 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.0 three-pointers.

Rockets' Kevin Durant: Subpar shooting performance
Durant contributed 16 points (5-14 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT), one rebound and three assists over 37 minutes during Thursday's 115-113 victory over the Clippers.
Durant had a rough shooting performance compared to his usual standards, and as a result, the star forward failed to reach the 20-point mark for the first time since Nov. 21. There's a chance this was an outlier for Durant. Since returning from a two-game absence due to a personal problem in late November and before Thursday's outing, Durant was averaging 27.2 points per game while shooting 55.4 percent from the floor.

Rockets' Alperen Sengun: Scores 22 points in return
Sengun produced 22 points (9-22 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 4-6 FT), 15 rebounds, five assists and four steals across 36 minutes during Thursday's 115-113 victory over the Clippers.
Sengun returned from a two-game absence due to an illness but was excellent in this matchup, posting a double-double and recording at least four tallies in four of the five major categories. Sengun showed some rust with his shot, but that won't matter much as long as he can fill the stat sheet regularly like he did Thursday. The big man is averaging a robust line of 23.9 points, 8.6 rebounds, 6.8 assists, 1.7 steals and 1.2 blocks per game over his last 10 contests.

Rockets' Amen Thompson: Reaches 20-point mark again
Thompson closed with 20 points (8-12 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), nine rebounds, eight assists and one steal in 41 minutes during Thursday's 115-113 victory over the Clippers.
Thompson missed all three of his three-point attempts, but he went 8-for-9 from inside the arc to reach the 20-point mark for the fourth time over his last five outings. He did more than just score, as Thompson also ended just one rebound and two assists away from a triple-double. The third-year guard has been a stat-stuffing machine in 2025-26. He's averaging 17.8 points, 8.4 rebounds, 5.3 assists and 1.5 steals per game over his last 10 appearances.

Rockets' Clint Capela: Back in bench role
Capela isn't in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Clippers, Lachard Binkley of SI.com reports.
Capela drew a rare start Saturday with Alperen Sengun sidelined due to illness. However, Capela will retreat to his usual bench role Thursday now that Sengun has been given the green light to return.
