Rockets' Jae'Sean Tate: Assigned to G League
The Rockets assigned Tate to the G League's Rio Grande Valley Vipers on Saturday, Kelly Iko of Yahoo Sports reports.
Tate has seen sparse playing time to open the 2025-26 regular season, and Iko relays that it was a mutual decision between Tate and the Rockets to send the sixth-year pro to the G League to get more playing time. Tate has averaged just 5.1 minutes across eight games for the Rockets this season.

Rockets' Steven Adams: Makes second straight start
Adams logged five points (2-2 FG, 1-3 FT), eight rebounds and two assists across 23 minutes during Friday's 112-109 loss to Denver.
The Rockets started Adams and Alperen Sengun together for a second straight game, but with the offense struggling in the first half, Reed Sheppard was with the first five to begin the second half. Adams remains one of the best per-minute rebounders in the league, but he's played more than 30 minutes only one time this season, which came during Houston's double-overtime loss to the Thunder on Opening Night.

Rockets' Clint Capela: Fails to score in four minutes
Capela had zero points (0-2 FG) and one steal in four minutes during Friday's 112-109 loss to the Nuggets.
Capela has been nothing more than an afterthought thus far this season, playing as the third-string center behind Alperen Sengun and Steven Adams. In 13 appearances, Capela is averaging 3.4 points and 4.2 rebounds in 9.7 minutes per game.

Rockets' Jabari Smith: Records double-double Friday
Smith ended with 21 points (7-20 FG, 5-11 3Pt, 2-3 FT), 11 rebounds, four assists and one block over 37 minutes before fouling out of Friday's 112-109 loss to Denver.
Smith recorded his second double-double in the past three games, continuing his strong start to the season. Despite battling knee pain, he has put together an impressive run of late, averaging 16.3 points, 8.7 rebounds and 2.8 three-pointers in 33.1 minutes per game in his past six appearances.

Rockets' Reed Sheppard: Scores season-high 27 points
Sheppard recorded 27 points (9-13 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 4-6 FT), four assists and two steals over 37 minutes during Friday's 112-109 loss to the Nuggets.
Sheppard tallied double digits for the eighth straight game, scoring a season-high 27 points in what was also a season-high 37 minutes. After a modest start to the season, it appears as though Sheppard is earning the trust of the coaching staff. He started the second half Friday, an encouraging sign moving forward. Managers should feel relatively safe holding him in all formats.

Rockets' Steven Adams: Not on bench to start third quarter
Adams isn't on the bench coming out of halftime of Friday's game against the Nuggets for undisclosed reasons, Adam Wexler of Sportstalk 790 Houston reports.
Adams isn't on the bench coming out of halftime, though it's uncertain why he remained in the locker room. Reed Sheppard, who scored 20 points in the first half, replaced Adams in the starting lineup to open the third period.

Rockets' Jabari Smith: Good to go Friday
Smith (knee) is active and part of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Nuggets, Lachard Binkley of SI.com reports.
Smith has been battling right knee tendinopathy recently, but he'll play through the issue once more. Smith has scored 14 or more points in four of his last five appearances, and he's averaging 15.4 points, 8.2 rebounds and 1.8 assists across 32.4 minutes during that stretch.

Rockets' Steven Adams: Starting Friday
Adams (ankle) is in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Nuggets, Lachard Binkley of SI.com reports.
Adams will get his second straight start and will be joined by Amen Thompson, Jabari Smith, Kevin Durant and Alperen Sengun in the first unit. In three starts this season, Adams has posted averages of 7.0 points, 11.3 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 1.0 steals and 2.0 turnovers per contest.

Rockets' Steven Adams: Questionable vs. Nuggets
Adams (ankle) is questionable for Friday's game against the Nuggets.
Adams is nursing right ankle tendinopathy, clouding his status for Friday. If the veteran big man is downgraded to out against Denver, Clint Capela could see enough minutes to warrant streaming consideration in deeper fantasy setups.

Rockets' Jabari Smith: Iffy for Friday
Smith (knee) is questionable for Friday's game against the Nuggets.
Smith is back on the injury report due to right knee tendinopathy. The Rockets are likely to see how the big man is feeling closer to Friday's tipoff before clarifying his status. If Smith cannot give it a go, Josh Okogie would be in position to take on heavy playing time in the frontcourt.

Rockets' Reed Sheppard: Hits two three-pointers in win
Sheppard ended with 12 points (5-11 FG, 2-5 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal in 23 minutes during Wednesday's 114-104 victory over the Cavaliers.
Sheppard extended his streak of hitting multiple three-pointers to seven, averaging 15.1 points, 2.3 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 2.1 steals, 0.4 blocks and 3.1 threes on a 51.2 percent clip in that span. While Sheppard lacks the offensive volume to be an elite fantasy asset, his efficiency has been amazing, and he will continue to be one of Houston's premier scoring options off the bench.

Rockets' Amen Thompson: Tallies five steals in win
Thompson produced 12 points (6-14 FG, 0-1 3Pt), nine rebounds, six assists and five steals in 40 minutes during Wednesday's 114-104 victory over the Cavaliers.
Thompson fell one rebound shy of a second straight double-double while also leading the Rockets with five steals, a new season best. The 22-year-old has enjoyed a solid start to the 2025-26 season, scoring in double figures in all 13 games while contributing in nearly every category most nights.

Rockets' Aaron Holiday: Pops for 18 points
Holiday chipped in 18 points (5-7 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 5-5 FT) and one steal across 19 minutes during Wednesday's 114-104 win over the Cavaliers.
Holiday put up a season-high 18 points by finding his rhythm from beyond the arc, setting his best mark of the year in made threes. He appears to slowly be earning more opportunities off the bench, as he's averaging 16.0 minutes in his last three appearances. Holiday could be worth a look for a slight boost in scoring production, though he's unlikely to contribute much in other categories.

Rockets' Kevin Durant: Battles to 20-point night
Durant provided 20 points (6-18 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 7-8 FT), three rebounds and three assists over 37 minutes during Wednesday's 114-104 win over the Cavaliers.
Durant struggled to reach the 20-point mark Wednesday night, hitting at a clip of just 33.3 percent from the field while also failing to find his groove from beyond the arc. There wasn't much to feel good about outside his scoring production, though it was reassuring to see the Texas product put up 20 or more points for a sixth straight matchup, even on a night he clearly couldn't buy a bucket.

Rockets' Alperen Sengun: Carries Houston to victory
Sengun totaled 28 points (10-17 FG, 8-10 FT), 11 rebounds, seven assists, one block and one steal in 38 minutes during Wednesday's 114-104 victory over the Cavaliers.
Sengun enjoyed yet another successful night across the board, securing his fifth consecutive double-double. He was far more efficient than his 11-for-31 showing from the field Sunday, needing only 17 field-goal attempts to lead the Rockets in scoring Wednesday. Sengun continues to prove that he's one of the best all-around big men in the game, averaging 24.4 points, 11.4 rebounds, 7.4 assists and 1.2 blocks per contest over his last five appearances.

Rockets' Josh Okogie: Headed to bench
Okogie will come off the bench for Wednesday's game in Cleveland, Vanessa Richardson of Space City Home Network reports.
Rockets head coach Ime Udoka is going big, starting Steven Adams and Alperen Sengun to match the Cavaliers' more traditional frontcourt, so Okogie will head back to the second unit. As a member of the reserves this season, Okogie owns averages of 9.0 points, 3.0 rebounds and 1.0 three-pointers per contest.

Rockets' Steven Adams: Joining first unit
Adams is starting Wednesday's game against the Cavaliers, Vanessa Richardson of Space City Home Network reports.
Adams will draw his third start of the season and his first since Oct. 24 as Houston elects to shake up the starting five. He provided a spark off the bench in his previous two appearances, snagging 24 total rebounds over 45 minutes of action. Josh Okogie will move to a bench role as a result of this lineup change.
