Rockets' Alperen Sengun: Agrees to five-year extension
Sengun agreed to a five-year, $185 million rookie extension with the Rockets on Monday, Bobby Marks of ESPN.com reports.
Sengun's five-year extension includes a player option in the last year. The 2021 first-round pick is coming off a strong 2023-24 season during which he averaged 21.1 points on 53.7 percent shooting, 9.3 rebounds, 5.0 assists and 1.2 steals across 32.5 minutes per game over 63 regular-season contests. He did miss the last 18 games of the regular season due to a Grade 3 right ankle sprain, but he was able to return for the start of training camp in late September and will be good to go for the start of the 2024-25 regular season. Sengun will remain an integral part of the Rockets' youth movement alongside Jalen Green and Jabari Smith.

Rockets' Jalen Green: Secures three-year extension
Green and the Rockets agreed to a three-year, $106 million extension Monday, ESPN's Shams Charania reports.
This will be a unique extension, as it includes a player option for the third season to increase Green's earning potential. The guard is coming off a stellar preseason and there have been a lot of positive reports coming out of Houston. He could be poised for a breakout campaign after averaging 22.8 points per game following the All-Star break in 2023-24.

Rockets' Nate Hinton: Let go by Houston
The Rockets waived Hinton on Saturday, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Hinton made 15 regular-season appearances for Houston last year but was unable to make the roster for this regular season. Hinton will likely spend the 2024-25 campaign with Rio Grande Valley Vipers of the G League.

Rockets' Matt Bradley: Picked up by Rockets
Bradley signed a contract with the Rockets on Friday, Kelly Iko of The Athletic reports.
Bradley is a 6-foot-4 shooting guard from San Bernardino, CA. He most recently played for the Rostock Seawolves in Germany, where he averaged 7.4 points, 2.8 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 0.4 steals and 0.4 blocks per game. Although he was signed to the Rockets' roster, he will presumably head to their G League affiliate soon.

Rockets' Fred VanVleet: Scores 15, dishes out five dimes
VanVleet delivered 15 points (5-12 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), a rebound, five assists and a steal across 28 minutes in Thursday's 129-107 preseason win over the Spurs.
Jalen Green and Alperen Sengun led the way for the Rockets in this one after combining for 51 points, but VanVleet can't be overlooked as one of the team's main offensive threats as well. The veteran floor general will be the one in charge of running the show in his second year with the Rockets, and he averaged 17.4 points with a career-best 8.1 assists per game in 2023-24.

Rockets' Alperen Sengun: Posts double-double
Sengun recorded 21 points (9-12 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-7 FT), 10 rebounds and two assists across 26 minutes in Thursday's 129-107 preseason win over the Spurs.
Sengun should be among the leaders of this Rockets team, and his fantasy upside is sky-high if he stays healthy, as he can stuff the stat sheet. He should be one of the most reliable big men in fantasy regardless of the format and could be in line to surpass the career-best season he had in 2023-24, when he averaged 21.1 points, 9.3 rebounds and 5.0 assists per game across 63 regular-season contests.

Rockets' Jalen Green: Scores 30 in preseason finale
Green posted 30 points (8-16 FG, 7-13 3Pt, 7-8 FT), two rebounds, two assists, a steal and a block across 27 minutes in Thursday's 129-107 preseason win over the Spurs.
Green has been leading the Rockets in scoring throughout the preseason, but he saved the best for last in this one, as he torched the Spurs time and time again. The star shooting guard seems more than ready for the regular-season opener against the Hornets on Wednesday, and he should play a prominent role in Houston's offensive scheme as a legit three-level scorer.

Rockets' Tari Eason: Back to action Thursday
Eason (rest) will play in Thursday's preseason finale against San Antonio, Danielle Lerner of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Eason will join a fully healthy roster Thursday, except for Jock Landale (rest). Even with the entirety of Houston's cast of forwards set to suit up, Eason is among the more likely candidates for extended run.

Rockets' Jock Landale: Won't play Thursday
Landale (rest) will be inactive for Thursday's preseason finale against San Antonio, Danielle Lerner of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Landale will represent the team's only healthy scratch Thursday as Houston continues ramping up for Wednesday's regular-season opener against Charlotte. Landale "has taken a few bangs in training camp," per Lerner, hence the lightened workload.

Rockets' Jabari Smith: Pulls down 10 boards Tuesday
Smith finished with eight points (4-13 FG, 0-5 3Pt), 10 rebounds and five assists across 25 minutes in Tuesday's 118-98 preseason win over the Pelicans.
Smith posted solid numbers as a rebounder and playmaker, but there's no question he had a rough night from a shooting perspective. The third-year forward has averaged at least 12.5 points per game in his first two seasons in the league. He could score 15 points per game with a higher usage rate, though it remains to be seen if the touches will be there considering he shares the court with Jalen Green, Fred VanVleet and Alperen Sengun, three players who also demand a fair share of touches on offense.

Rockets' Jalen Green: Leads club in scoring Tuesday
Green notched 19 points (7-15 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 3-5 FT), six rebounds and a steal across 23 minutes in Tuesday's 118-98 preseason win over the Pelicans.
Green seems ready to pick things right where he left them in the 2023-24 season, and based on what has happened in the preseason, the fourth-year guard is widely expected to operate as Houston's go-to player on offense in most games. Green averaged 22.8 points per game after the All-Star break in 2023-24, and he seems poised to average at least 20 points per game for the second time over the last three seasons.

Rockets' Dillon Brooks: Scores 13 points Tuesday
Brooks finished with 13 points (5-7 FG, 3-4 3Pt), four rebounds and an assist across 24 minutes in Tuesday's 118-98 preseason win over the Pelicans.
Brooks was one of three starters who scored in double digits for the Rockets in this comfortable win. The veteran forward seems ready for the start of the regular season against the Hornets on Oct. 23. However, the team still has one preseason game left against the Spurs on Thursday. Whether he plays against San Antonio or not, Brooks is penciled in to open the 2024-25 campaign as the Rockets' starting small forward.

Rockets' Amen Thompson: Retreats to bench vs. New Orleans
Thompson is not in the starting five for Tuesday's preseason matchup versus the Pelicans, Adam Spolane of Sports Radio 610 Houston reports.
Thompson started in the Rockets' first two preseason games, once at small forward and once at point guard. However, Fred VanVleet is back after receiving a scheduled day off last Wednesday against the Thunder, and Thompson will likely be in the first wave of replacements off the bench.

Rockets' Steven Adams: Active Tuesday
Adams (rest) is active for Tuesday's preseason game against the Pelicans, Jackson Gatlin of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
Adams was a healthy scratch for last Wednesday's preseason game versus the Thunder, though he is expected to return off the bench Tuesday. The veteran big man didn't play a single game last year due to knee surgery, though he is expected to be fully ready for Opening Night.

Rockets' Fred VanVleet: Suiting up against New Orleans
VanVleet (rest) is available for Tuesday's preseason game versus the Pelicans, Jackson Gatlin of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
VanVleet will return to action Tuesday after sitting out Houston's previous contest for rest purposes. The 30-year-old guard's return will likely send Amen Thompson to the bench.
