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, and 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.

Rockets' Steven Adams: Ruled out for 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 and Jeff Green could see meaningful minutes in the rotation. Adams' next chance to play will come Thursday against the Clippers.

Rockets' Alperen Sengun: Doubtful for Saturday
Sengun (illness) is doubtful for Saturday's game in Dallas.
Steven Adams, who started Friday's game, has already been ruled out for Saturday with an ankle injury, so Clint Capela could potentially be looking at major minutes and a starting role versus the Mavericks. Check back for official confirmation on Sengun's status closer to tip-off.

Rockets' Steven Adams: Grabs eight boards in start
Adams finished with four points (2-4 FG), eight rebounds, three assists, two blocks and two steals over 30 minutes during Friday's 117-98 win over Phoenix.
Adams moved into the starting lineup for the fifth time this season, replacing Alperen Sengun, who was ruled out due to illness. As usual, Adams filled in admirably, including recording a season-high four combined steals and blocks. Sengun is unlikely to miss a significant amount of time, meaning Adams should be viewed as nothing more than a streaming option for those needing rebounds.

Rockets' Jeff Green: Uncle Jeff sighting
Green accumulated zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and one rebound in eight minutes during Friday's 117-98 win over the Suns.
Green made a rare appearance, moving into the rotation for just the ninth time this season, all of which have come during garbage time. Now firmly in the twilight of his career, Green serves as a positive locker room presence and nothing more. Don't expect to see him on the floor any time a game is even moderately close.

Rockets' Amen Thompson: Season-high 31 points
Thompson totaled 31 points (12-17 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 6-6 FT), four rebounds and one assist in 32 minutes during Friday's 117-98 victory over the Suns.
Thompson continued his recent scoring surge, tallying a season-high 31 points, his third straight game with at least 20 points. After a somewhat underwhelming start to the season, Thompson has slowly turned things around. In 14 appearances over the past month, he has averaged 18.3 points, 7.6 rebounds, 4.9 assists, 1.5 steals and 0.6 blocks in 36.9 minutes per contest, which is good enough for top 50 value in standard leagues.

Rockets' Kevin Durant: Crosses 31K-point plateau in win
Durant posted 28 points (11-17 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds, eight assists, three steals and one block over 32 minutes during Friday's 117-98 win over the Suns.
Durant reached a big career milestone Friday night, as he surpassed 31,000 career points, something only eight other NBA players have accomplished. The superstar has notched 20-plus points in four straight games, dishing out eight dimes in each of his last two. He also tied his season-high mark in steals Friday.

Rockets' Steven Adams: Starting sans Sengun
Adams will start Friday's game against the Suns, Vanessa Richardson of Space City Home Network reports.
Adams will step into the first unit due to the absence of Alperen Sengun (illness). In four starts this season, Adams has averaged 6.5 points, 10.5 rebounds and 2.0 assists across 28.0 minutes. Friday night is the first leg of a back-to-back set, and Ime Udoka said pregame that Adams will be held out of Saturday's matchup with the Mavericks, per Will Guillory of The Athletic reports.

Rockets' Alperen Sengun: Ruled out Friday
Sengun (illness) won't suit up for Friday's game versus the Suns, Vanessa Richardson of Space City Home Network reports.
With Sengun unavailable, Steven Adams will draw the start and Clint Capela should be more involved in the rotation. The Rockets' next game comes Saturday versus the Mavs, and for now, Sengun should be considered questionable for that one.

Rockets' Alperen Sengun: Questionable with illness
Sengun is listed as questionable for Friday's game against Phoenix due to illness.
Sengun is a late addition to the Rockets' injury report due to an illness. The superstar center hasn't missed a game this season, but considering Friday night's game is the first of a back-to-back set, Houston could exercise more caution. If Sengun can't play, Steven Adams and Clint Capela would likely pick up the slack.

Rockets' Kevin Durant: Strikes for 24 in Wednesday's win
Durant contributed 24 points (9-16 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 5-5 FT), three rebounds, eight assists and one block over 32 minutes during Wednesday's 121-95 victory over the Kings.
The eight dimes led the Rockets on the night and were a season high for Durant. The 37-year-old forward is thriving as the veteran foundation for an otherwise young lineup, scoring at least 20 points in nine of his last 10 games while averaging 25.7 points, 4.9 boards, 4.4 assists, 1.8 threes and 0.9 steals while shooting 50.6 percent from the floor.

Rockets' Alperen Sengun: Big double-double in win
Sengun contributed 28 points (11-20 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 6-7 FT), 10 rebounds, three assists and four steals across 30 minutes during Wednesday's 121-95 victory over Sacramento.
The 28 points led all scorers on the night as Sengun delivered his second straight double-double -- one with boards, one with assists -- and 11th of the season in 19 games. The fifth-year center also set a new season high in steals, and he's emerging as an elite fantasy asset in 2025-26, averaging 23.1 points, 9.1 boards, 7.1 assists, 1.3 steals, 1.1 threes and 1.0 blocks while shooting 50.5 percent from the floor.

Rockets' Amen Thompson: Double-doubles with seven dimes
Thompson produced 20 points (8-16 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 12 rebounds, seven assists, two steals, one block and five turnovers in 37 minutes during Wednesday's 121-95 blowout win over the Kings.
After a rough two-game stretch to close out November, Thompson has been hot to begin December, scoring at least 20 points in back-to-back games while racking up the defensive stats. He's also shot a respectable 11-for-13 at the line over the current hot streak, and he's gone 16-for-32 from the floor.

Rockets' Tari Eason: Aiming to return before 2026
Eason (oblique) is targeting a late December return, Michael Shapiro of SI.com reports.
Eason was given a four-to-six-week timetable for a return after being diagnosed with a strained right oblique Nov. 15. He's on track to return near the six-week mark and is hopeful to make it back before the calendar flips to 2026. Look for players like Josh Okogie, Jae'Sean Tate and Jeff Green to continue to see more minutes while Eason is sidelined.

Rockets' Dorian Finney-Smith: Likely out through December
The Rockets are eyeing January for Finney-Smith (ankle) to make his season debut, Michael Shapiro of SI.com reports.
The target month would appear to rule out the veteran forward for the rest of December. However, Finney-Smith is beginning to ramp up his basketball activity with live action in practice. Until Finney-Smith is fully recovered from ankle surgery, Josh Okogie should play meaningful minutes.
