4 Danuel House Jr. SF

House generated 14 points (5-6 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-4 FT), seven rebounds and two assists across 28 minutes off the bench Sunday in the Rockets' 117-102 win over the Timberwolves.

With the Rockets finally bringing House aboard on a standard contract earlier this month, he's expected to hold a regular role in the rotation moving forward. The second-year third-year swingman has been productive in both of his first two games since returning from the G League's Rio Grande Valley Vipers, averaging topping double figures in scoring in both contests while knocking down six triples in total.

House will come off the bench Sunday against the Timberwolves, Alykhan Bijani of The Athletic reports.

House drew the start Friday against the Suns due to the absence of Chris Paul (rest). However, with Paul back in the lineup Sunday, House will come off the pine.

House recorded 18 points (6-11 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, and one steal in 35 minutes during Friday's 108-102 win over the Suns.

House matched career highs in scoring and made threes in this his first appearance since Jan. 14. He has now reached double figures in four consecutive contests, with Chris Paul's absence for rest purposes allowing House to slot into the starting five for this one.

House will enter the starting lineup for Friday's game against Phoenix, Craig Ackerman of AT&T SportsNet Southwest reports.

With Chris Paul set to get the night off, the Rockets will insert House into the starting lineup. He hasn't seen NBA action since Jan. 14, but put up 14.3 ppg in his previous three starts with the Rockets.

House is expected to sign a standard NBA contract that covers the remainder of the season, Kelly Iko of The Athletic reports.

House rejoined the Rockets in December on a two-way deal, but he's played well enough to earn a standard NBA deal and his play has even warranted an endorsement from James Harden. House hasn't taken the court with Houston since Jan. 14, but he averaged 10.6 points, 4.3 rebounds and 1.6 assists in his previous 12 starts at the NBA level. The contract could be done as soon as Wednesday.
