1 Michael Carter-Williams PG

Carter-Williams registered 13 points (5-8 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two assists and one steal across 12 minutes in the Rockets' 118-91 loss to the Jazz on Thursday.

Carter-Williams finished as the highest scorer on the second unit, and with the second-highest point total overall on the Rockets for the night. The 27-year-old has mostly been a DNP-CD or has logged single-digit minutes after the first few games of the season, with Thursday's allotment of playing time his highest since Oct. 30. Given how he's typically been deployed, Carter-Williams' production Thursday isn't likely to be replicated any time soon.

Carter-Williams (illness) is available for Saturday's showdown versus the Spurs, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.

It is one of the few games this season where Chris Paul, James Harden, and Eric Gordon (hamstring) will be available, so Carter-Williams will presumably have a hard time finding minutes. Still, he will be available off the bench.

Carter-Williams (illness) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Spurs, Mark Berman of Fox 26 Houston reports.

Carter-Williams sat out Thursday's game against the Thunder due to an illness, which is still giving him enough problems to put his status for Saturday into question. More information on his status may arrive after morning shootaround.

Carter-Williams has an illness and is out for Thursday's matchup against the Thunder, Mark Berman of Fox 26 Houston reports.

Carter-Williams being ruled out over a day in advance suggests the illness is relatively serious. In his stead, Gerald Green and Gary Clark could see extra run.

Carter-Williams had six points (2-4 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-4 FT), two assists, two steals, one rebound, and one block in 15 minutes during Tuesday's 104-85 loss to the Trail Blazers.

Carter-Williams shared the floor with starting point guard Chris Paul for only a few minutes despite the absence of James Harden (hamstring). Through six appearances this season Carter-Williams isn't earning enough minutes for him to maintain much value outside of deeper leagues.
