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' 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: 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' 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' 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.

Rockets' Steven Adams: Grabs 11 boards Friday
Adams ended Friday's 140-116 win over the Trail Blazers with five points (2-4 FG, 1-2 FT), 11 rebounds, two blocks and one steal across 18 minutes.
Adams grabbed double-digit rebounds for the fourth time this season, and the first time in the past six games. After starting the season in the starting lineup, Adams has since settled back into a bench role, typically playing minutes in the mid-teens. At this point, he should be treated as a rebound streamer only.

Rockets' Steven Adams: Available Friday
Adams (hip) has been cleared to play in Friday's game against the Spurs, Will Guillory of The Athletic reports.
After missing Wednesday's game against the Grizzlies with a hip issue, Adams will get back on the floor. The veteran big man is currently averaging 6.5 points, 9.5 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 1.0 steals per game, shooting 66.7 percent from the field.

Rockets' Steven Adams: Questionable vs. Spurs
Adams (hip) is questionable for Friday's game against the Spurs.
The veteran big man is in jeopardy of missing a second consecutive game with a hip flexor. Clint Capela would likely take on the backup center role if Adams is out, with Tari Eason also being a candidate to soak up additional center minutes behind Alperen Sengun in this case.

Rockets' Steven Adams: Won't play Wednesday
Adams (hip) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Grizzlies, Will Guillory of The Athletic reports.
Adams is dealing with a hip issue that will keep him sidelined. Clint Capela and Jeff Green will likely be turned to to shoulder the load in the frontcourt.

Rockets' Steven Adams: Iffy for Wednesday
Adams (hip) is questionable to play in Wednesday's game against the Grizzlies.
Adams is dealing with a hip issue, which could keep him sidelined. If the veteran big man is unable to play, the team will likely turn to Clint Capela and Jeff Green to help shoulder the load in the frontcourt.

Rockets' Steven Adams: Serviceable two-way effort
Adams finished Monday's 110-102 victory over Dallas with four points (2-3 FG, 0-2 FT), nine rebounds, one assist, two blocks and two steals across 23 minutes.
Adams grabbed at least eight rebounds for the fifth time in the past six games, while also adding a season-high four combined steals and blocks. It appears as though Houston is going to continue to shuffle its rotation based on the opposition, making Adams a tough sell in standard leagues. With that said, he is doing enough on most nights to be considered an elite streaming option for anyone needing rebounds.

Rockets' Steven Adams: Not starting Monday
Adams is not listed in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Nets, Lachard Binkley of SI.com reports.
Adams started Houston's first two games of the season, but he'll head to the bench on Monday, with the Rockets opting to go small. Adams could move in and out of the starting unit throughout the season based on the matchup, but as a reserve, he's a far less attractive option in fantasy hoops.

Rockets' Steven Adams: Double-doubles in loss
Adams recorded 11 points (4-4 FG, 3-4 FT), 10 rebounds and three steals across 25 minutes during Friday's 115-111 loss to Detroit.
Adams recorded his first double-double of the season, having now started in each of the first two games. While the decision to start him is likely based on the individual matchup, he has looked great during his time on the floor. His value will almost certainly fluctuate depending on the opponent, but for now, he is worth streaming for rebounding purposes.

Rockets' Steven Adams: Grabs 13 boards in start
Adams provided four points (1-4 FG, 2-2 FT), 13 rebounds and three assists across 36 minutes during Tuesday's 125-124 double-overtime loss to Oklahoma City.
Adams was given the starting nod, likely a matchup-based decision given the size of the opposition. He led the Rockets with 13 rebounds, a handy bonus for anyone who streamed him on a low-volume night. Reed Sheppard played 28 minutes off the bench and could supplant Adams in the starting lineup from time to time, should the matchup call for it.

Rockets' Steven Adams: To start Opening Night
Adams will start Opening Night against the Thunder, Kelly Iko of The Athletic reports.
The Rockets will start a jumbo lineup of Amen Thompson, Kevin Durant, Jabari Smith, Alperen Sengun and Adams to open the regular season. Rockets head coach Ime Udoka has previously said that his lineups could be fluid depending on matchups, but it's clear that he won't hesitate to utilize these larger lineups.

The veteran center will join Alperen Sengun in the frontcourt, pushing Reed Sheppard to the bench. Adams appeared in 57 regular-season games (three starts) in 2024-25, during which he averaged 3.9 points and 5.7 rebounds across 13.9 minutes per game.

Adams (rest) will be available for Tuesday's preseason game against the Pelicans, Danielle Lerner of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Adams was rested for Wednesday's preseason game against Utah, but Rockets coach Ime Udoka is planning for his regulars to play in the final two preseason games. Adams and Clint Capela are likely to split the backup center duties this season, though there has been some talk of Alperen Sengun playing some power forward as well.
