Top Rockets News

  • 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.

  • Rockets' Alperen Sengun: Cleared to face Clippers

    Sengun (illness) isn't on the injury report ahead of Thursday's game against the Clippers.

    Sengun missed back-to-back games with an illness, but after returning to practice Tuesday, he's been given the green light to face the Clippers. The 23-year-old big man had scored 25 or more points in three straight games before falling ill. He averaged 28.7 points, 7.3 rebounds, 7.3 assists, 2.3 steals and 1.7 blocks across 32 minutes during that stretch.

  • Rockets' Steven Adams: Removed from injury report

    Adams (ankle) is off the injury report for Thursday's game against the Clippers.

    Adams sat out Saturday's game against Dallas due to right ankle tendinopathy, but his absence from the injury report means he's set to be available Thursday. Over his last six games, the veteran center has averaged 7.5 points, 9.0 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 0.8 blocks in 22.0 minutes per contest.

  • Rockets' Alperen Sengun: Goes through practice

    Sengun (illness) was back at practice Tuesday, Lachard Binkley of SI.com reports.

    Sengun missed the past two games for Houston, but it appears he's trending towards a return. The Rockets don't play again until Thursday, giving him another 48 hours to get back to 100 percent.

  • Rockets' Reed Sheppard: Muted performance in loss

    Sheppard finished with 12 points (5-8 FG, 2-3 3Pt), two rebounds and three assists in 20 minutes during Saturday's 122-109 loss to the Mavericks.

    Sheppard's fantasy appeal continues to leave a lot to be desired. Considering Alperen Sengun (illness) was out for a second straight game, Sheppard's fantasy managers were likely expecting much more. Over his last four outings, Sheppard is averaging 9.0 points, 3.8 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 1.0 steals and 2.0 three-pointers in 23.1 minutes per contest.

  • Rockets' Aaron Holiday: Plays well again in loss

    Holiday closed with 19 points (7-12 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, one block and one steal over 27 minutes during Saturday's 122-109 loss to Dallas.

    Holiday continues to trend up for the Rockets and is seemingly pulling ahead of Reed Sheppard in the backcourt, at least in terms of minutes. Over his last four games, Holiday is seeing 26.4 minutes per game compared to 23.1 for Sheppard. In that span, Holiday is averaging 11.5 points, 1.8 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 0.8 steals and 2.3 three-pointers.

  • Rockets' Jabari Smith: Notches 22 points in loss

    Smith accumulated 22 points (10-19 FG, 2-7 3Pt), eight rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal in 41 minutes during Saturday's 122-109 loss to Dallas.

    Smith picked up some offensive usage with Alperen Sengun (illness) sidelined for a second straight game, combining with Kevin Durant for a total of 49 points. Smith is currently on pace for ninth-round value in nine-category formats on a per-game basis with regular-season averages of 15.3 points, 6.4 rebounds, 1.9 assists, 0.8 steals, 0.8 blocks and 2.0 three-pointers across 20 appearances.

  • Rockets' Jae'Sean Tate: Chips in five points in defeat

    Tate registered five points (2-4 FG, 1-3 3Pt), three rebounds, three assists and one steal in 17 minutes during Saturday's 122-109 loss to Dallas.

    With Alperen Sengun (illness) joining Tari Eason (oblique) and Dorian Finney-Smith (ankle) on the sidelines for a second consecutive game, Tate saw increased run and dished out a season-high three assists. The 30-year-old forward has appeared in six consecutive contests, during which he has averaged 5.5 points and 2.7 rebounds while shooting 61.9 percent from the field in 12.5 minutes per game.

  • Rockets' Alperen Sengun: Won't suit up Saturday

    Sengun (illness) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against Dallas, Vanessa Richardson of Space City Home Network reports.

    Sengun will miss his second consecutive contest due to an illness, and his next opportunity to play will come Thursday against the Clippers. With the star big man and Steven Adams (ankle) both sidelined, Clint Capela will start, while Jeff Green and Jae'Sean Tate are also candidates for increased playing time.

  • Rockets' Clint Capela: Draws start Saturday

    Capela will start Saturday's game against the Mavericks, Vanessa Richardson of Space City Home Network reports.

    Alperen Sengun is out with an illness, while Steven Adams is getting the night off for maintenance. Capela is a strong streaming option for fantasy managers in need of rebounds, blocks and field-goal percentage against the Mavericks.

    ... See More ... See Less
  • Rockets' Steven Adams: Ruled out Saturday

    Adams is out for Saturday's game in Dallas due to right ankle tendinopathy.

    Alperen Sengun (illness) is doubtful for Saturday's game, so Clint Capela could be headed for a spot start, while Jeff Green could see meaningful minutes in the rotation. Adams' next chance to play will come Thursday against the Clippers.
