Rockets' Tari Eason: Questionable to play Sunday
Eason (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against New Orleans.
Eason has missed the Rockets' last four games due to a right ankle sprain, but the fourth-year pro has an opportunity to return for Sunday's contest. His return would likely result in Josh Okogie reverting to the bench. Across his eight outings prior to his injury, Eason averaged 12.8 points, 7.5 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 1.8 threes, 1.8 steals and 0.9 blocks over 26.1 minutes per game.

Rockets' Jae'Sean Tate: Sticks in rotation Friday
Tate amassed four points (2-2 FG), three rebounds and one steal in 11 minutes during Friday's 110-105 win over the Timberwolves.
Tate suited up for the third straight game, albeit for a brief appearance only. Tate has been a non-factor thus far this season, averaging 2.7 points in 7.7 minutes across his 24 appearances, leaving him outside the top 400 in standard formats.

Rockets' Josh Okogie: Starting role yields very little
Okogie contributed one point (0-4 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds and one steal over 33 minutes during Friday's 110-105 victory over Minnesota.
Okogie remained in the starting lineup, logging a season-high 33 minutes in the process. While the playing time was certainly encouraging, the same can't be said for his production. With Tari Eason on the verge of returning from an ankle injury, Okogie will likely shift back to a bench role in the near future. Even as a starter, he holds no value in fantasy, outside of the deepest formats.

Rockets' Jabari Smith: Goes 3-for-12 from field
Smith closed with nine points (3-12 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-5 FT), five rebounds, two assists and three blocks across 38 minutes during Friday's 110-105 win over the Timberwolves.
Smith struggled with his shot in the win, scrapping his way to just nine points. Coming off one of his best performances of the season, Friday's effort was a letdown for fantasy managers. Despite playing 34.7 minutes per game this season, Smith has not been able to take his game to the next level, averaging 15.0 points, 6.9 rebounds and 2.1 three-pointers.

Rockets' Kevin Durant: Scores season-high 39 points in win
Durant finished Friday's 110-105 win over the Timberwolves with 39 points (11-18 FG, 6-8 3Pt, 11-14 FT), seven assists, four rebounds, two steals and one block across 40 minutes.
Durant caught fire from beyond the arc and tied Julius Randle for the game-best mark in points, though it was the former who led his team to a win. Durant's 39 points set a new season high, and he has reached the 30-point threshold in 14 of his 37 regular-season appearances. The superstar also led the Rockets in assists, dishing out at least seven dimes for the third time this month. Additionally, the veteran forward matched the game high in steals and has recorded multiple swipes in back-to-back appearances for just the second time this season.

Rockets' Tari Eason: Ruled out Friday
Eason (ankle) won't play Friday versus the Timberwolves.
Eason is set to miss his fourth consecutive game, but he does appear to be getting close, as Friday was the first time he'd received a questionable tag since going down with the ankle injury. His next chance to play will come Sunday against the Pelicans, and for now, he should be considered questionable for that one.

Rockets' Steven Adams: Omitted from injury report
Adams (rest) is not on the injury report for Friday's game against Minnesota.
The veteran center's omission is worth noting, as he tends to sit out one half of back-to-back sets. Adams is slated to appear in two games in as many days for the first time this season, meaning Clint Capela may not see the floor at all Friday.

Rockets' Dorian Finney-Smith: Cleared from injury report
Finney-Smith (ankle) is off the injury report for Friday's game against Minnesota.
Finney-Smith is set to be available for the second leg of Houston's back-to-back after missing the past two games for left ankle injury management. The veteran forward's presence is likely to result in fewer minutes for Josh Okogie on Friday.

Rockets' Tari Eason: Questionable with ankle sprain
Eason is questionable for Friday's game against Minnesota with a right ankle sprain.
Eason is looking to end a three-game absence due to the injury. If the forward remains sidelined, more playing time would be available for Dorian Finney-Smith and Josh Okogie in the frontcourt.

Rockets' Jabari Smith: Secures double-double in loss
Smith supplied 17 points (5-15 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 10 rebounds, one assist, one block and two steals across 34 minutes during Thursday's 111-91 loss to Oklahoma City.
Smith struggled to find the bottom of the net from the field but managed to do damage by knocking down three treys. He also finished second on his team in rebounds, marking his first double-double since Dec. 29. The Auburn product is averaging 14.3 points, 8.0 rebounds and 1.3 steals over his last four games.

Rockets' Kevin Durant: Paces Houston with 19 points
Durant ended Thursday's 111-91 loss to Oklahoma City with 19 points (7-23 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 5-5 FT), seven rebounds, three assists, one block and three steals across 37 minutes.
Durant struggled to get in a groove offensively and managed to lead the Rockets in scoring only due to sheer volume. Thursday marked the first time since Dec. 11 that he's been held under 20 points, which speaks to the tear that he's been on for the last month or so. Durant was also more active on the defensive end, tying his season high in steals after failing to record a swipe in his previous nine games.

Rockets' Alperen Sengun: Records another double-double
Sengun registered 14 points (7-15 FG, 0-1 3Pt), 13 rebounds, five assists and one block in 33 minutes during Thursday's 111-91 loss to the Thunder.
Sengun wasn't as effective as he usually is on the offensive end, but he turned in his second straight double-double, this time by grabbing double-digit rebounds. He continues to look solid since returning from a three-game absence, averaging 18.7 points, 9.7 rebounds, 6.7 assists and 1.0 blocks in his last three appearances.

Rockets' Tari Eason: Ruled out for Thursday
Eason (ankle) won't play Thursday versus the Thunder.
Thursday will mark the third consecutive game on the sidelines for Eason, but perhaps he'll be able to get back out there for Friday's game versus the Timberwolves. Aaron Holiday and Josh Okogie have alternated starts the past two games with Eason unavailable, so it'll be interesting to see who gets the call Wednesday evening.

Rockets' Dorian Finney-Smith: Out again Thursday
Finney-Smith has been ruled out for Thursday's game against Oklahoma City.
Finney-Smith will miss a second straight game due to left ankle injury management. Thursday's contest is the first leg of a back-to-back set, so it's possible the Rockets plan on playing him Friday against Minnesota. Regardless, Aaron Holiday and Josh Okogie could see a slight increase in playing time. Finney-Smith is averaging 2.8 points and 2.9 rebounds across 15.4 minutes per game this season.
