Rockets' Jae'Sean Tate: Not listed on injury report
Rotowire
Tate (ankle) is not listed on the injury report ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Spurs.
Tate skipped the first leg of this back-to-back, but he'll be back in action Sunday evening, which may result in fewer minutes for Tari Eason and Usman Garuba. Tate should be good to go for minutes in the high-teens to lower-20s in this one, but he won't do much for you outside of scoring.

Rockets' Jae'Sean Tate: Slated to play Wednesday
Rotowire
Tate (rest) isn't listed on the injury report for Wednesday's game versus the Grizzlies.
Given that rest was the reason for Tate's absence Tuesday in the front end of a back-to-back set, his omission from Wednesday's injury report doesn't arrive as a surprise. Tate's starting status could hinge on whether Kevin Porter (foot), who is questionable, returns against Memphis.

Rockets' Jae'Sean Tate: Third straight in double figures
Rotowire
Tate recorded 17 points (7-11 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), two rebounds and two assists across 25 minutes during Sunday's 131-114 loss to the Trail Blazers.
Tate missed both of his three-pointers but was efficient from inside the arc en route to his third straight game in double figures. During that stretch, the undrafted forward out of Ohio State has averaged 14.0 points, 2.3 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.0 steals in 24.0 minutes per game. As long as Jalen Green (groin) and Kevin Porter (foot) remain out, Tate is a candidate for increased offensive responsibilities within Houston's offense.
Tate provided 14 points (6-12 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds, four assists and three steals in 28 minutes during Friday's 116-101 loss to Golden State.
Tate had arguably his best game of the season, producing on both ends of the floor despite the loss. The Rockets have now lost eight straight games, leaning heavily into what will end up being another lost season. Tate has started in four consecutive games, although prior to Friday his production had been mediocre, at best. He could be considered in deeper formats, but for those in standard leagues, there is likely to be a more appealing player available on waivers.
