4 Danuel House Jr. SF

House tallied 14 points (6-14 FG, 2-5 3Pt), five rebounds, three assists and three blocks across 34 minutes Wednesday in the Rockets' 112-96 loss to the Cavaliers.

The return of Victor Oladipo (foot) from a four-game absence didn't hurt House too much, as he still saw a heavy minutes load and was able to deliver solid across-the-board production. House is averaging 13.5 points, 4.5 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 2.3 triples and 1.0 blocks in 29.3 minutes per game over his last four outings, putting him on the radar in 12-to-14-team leagues.

House totaled 17 points (6-10 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 4-5 FT), five rebounds, three assists, one steal and one block over 36 minutes in Monday's 131-119 loss to the Wizards.

Getting the start with Victor Oladipo (foot), Eric Gordon (groin) and P.J. Tucker (quadriceps) all unavailable, House was able to achieve a new season high in scoring. House's minutes should dip once at least one or two of those injured players return to action, at which point he'll be more of an option in deeper leagues. in his five games prior to Monday's relative outburst, House averaged 9.4 points, 4.0 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 1.4 three-pointers, 1.0 steals and 0.8 blocks in 28.6 minutes.

House will start Monday's game at Washington, Cayleigh Griffin of AT&T SportsNet Southwest reports.

The 27-year-old will make his sixth start of the season with Victor Oladipo (foot), Eric Gordon (groin) and P.J. Tucker (quadriceps) all unavailable Monday. House is averaging 9.2 points, 3.8 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.2 steals in 28.2 minutes over the past nine games, but he could have a heavier workload against the Wizards.

House was held scoreless (0-8 FG, 0-5 3PT) in Saturday night's loss to the Knicks.

The Rockets shot just 37.5 percent as a team, including 18.6 percent from three, and House was one of four players to miss all of his field goal attempts. He snapped a five-game streak of hitting at least one three-pointer.

House posted 13 points (4-13 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 4-4 FT), eight rebounds, five assists and three steals in 34 minutes during Tuesday's 130-101 loss to the Rockets.

House wasn't particularly efficient Tuesday, but he made up for it with nice box score stats. The performance was the third time this season House has dished at least five assists, and it was the second time this season he's swiped at least three steals.

House will come off the bench Tuesday at New Orleans, Mark Berman of Fox 26 Houston reports.

The 27-year-old started Monday against the Hornets and had 13 points (5-11 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds and two assists in 30 minutes, but he'll return to the bench Tuesday with John Wall (rest) and Eric Gordon (rest) back in action. House should still be one of the top options off the bench for the Rockets.

House added 13 points (5-11 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds and two assists over 30 minutes during Monday's 119-94 loss to the Hornets.

House will start Monday's game at Charlotte, Mark Berman of Fox 26 Houston reports.

The 27-year-old will make his first start since Jan. 2 with John Wall (injury management) sitting out Monday. House is averaging 9.6 points, 3.8 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 1.4 steals in 27.2 minutes over his past five games.

House recorded 13 points (5-9 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 0-1 FT), five assists, three steals and two rebounds across 32 minutes Thursday in a 115-103 win at Memphis.

House's 13 points and three steals were both season highs. Thursday's game marked his best two-way effort, which has not been as prevalent since last season due to COVID-19 protocols. Fortunately, House will still have many games to showcase his value and could be in line to start over Jae'Sean Tate once he gets settled.

House tallied two points (1-7 FG, 0-5 3Pt), four rebounds, three assists and one steal over 25 minutes in Wednesday's 104-87 loss to the Thunder.

House has come off the bench in each of the five games since he returned from COVID-19 protocols, but he's still had considerable playing time for the Rockets. He posted a season-high 13 points in Monday's win over Oklahoma City, but he was inefficient Wednesday and was held to just two points. Over the last five games, House is averaging 7.2 points and 3.0 rebounds over 22.4 minutes per contest.

House had eight points (2-7 FG, 2-5 3PT, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, four assists, a steal and a block in Saturday's win over the Pelicans.

The Rockets used a 48-point second quarter to take an 18-point lead at the half, and they held a comfortable advantage for the rest of the final two quarters. That led to increased opportunity for House, who had played just 14 and 19 minutes, respectively, in his first two games back from injury.

House (COVID-19 health and safety protocol) played 14 minutes off the bench in Tuesday's 107-88 win over the Wizards, tallying two points (1-4 FG) with one rebound and one block.

House was active for the first time since Jan. 2 after missing 11 consecutive games -- initially because of back spasms, but he missed more time while working his way through the NBA's health and safety protocol. The three-week shutdown likely contributed to House's playing time being limited a bit, but once he's back to full speed, he should push closer to the 32.8 minutes per game he was averaging over his prior four appearances this season.

House (COVID-19 protocols) isn't listed on the injury report for Tuesday's game against the Wizards, Adam Spolane of Sports Radio 610 Houston reports.

The 27-year-old hasn't seen the court since the fourth game of the season Jan. 2 due to a combination of a back injury and the NBA's health and safety protocols, but he'll return to action Tuesday versus Washington. House started the first four games of the season and averaged 32.5 minutes, but he figures to have a limited workload for a few games since he's been sidelined for the past three weeks.

House (COVID-19 protocols) said Monday that he's anticipating being cleared to return for Tuesday's matchup against the Wizards, Ben DuBose of USA Today reports. "Hopefully I'll be back [Tuesday]," House said. "I'm planning on it."

Due to a combination of a back injury and health and safety protocols, House has not played in nearly a month, last taking the floor Jan. 2 against Sacramento. He said his status will ultimately be in the hands of the Rockets' training staff, but it looks like House will have a good chance to return to the rotation Tuesday. Given the long layoff, his workload could be limited over his first few games back.

House (COVID-19 protocols) is expected to be sidelined through Friday's and Saturday's matchups with the Pistons and Mavericks, respectively, Cayleigh Griffin of AT&T SportsNet Southwest reports.

House (COVID-19 protocols) is out Thursday against the Spurs, Adam Wexler of Sports Talk 790 reports.

The Rockets will be shorthanded Thursday. John Wall (knee) and James Harden (not injury related) have already been ruled out, while Eric Gordon (lower leg) is questionable. That should lead to plenty of minutes for the likes of Ben McLemore, David Nwaba, Sterling Brown and Jae'Sean Tate.

House (health and safety protocols) will not be available for Tuesday's game against the Lakers, Alykhan Bijani of The Athletic reports.

House has missed the last four games due to a back injury, but it looks like he'll now be sidelined due to possible COVID-19 exposure. House should be considered day-to-day while the Rockets conduct contact tracing, but it's possible he could miss more time as Houston heads out on a three-game road trip beginning Thursday in San Antonio.
