Rockets' Kevin Durant: Strikes for 24 in Wednesday's win
Durant contributed 24 points (9-16 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 5-5 FT), three rebounds, eight assists and one block over 32 minutes during Wednesday's 121-95 victory over the Kings.
The eight dimes led the Rockets on the night and were a season high for Durant. The 37-year-old forward is thriving as the veteran foundation for an otherwise young lineup, scoring at least 20 points in nine of his last 10 games while averaging 25.7 points, 4.9 boards, 4.4 assists, 1.8 threes and 0.9 steals while shooting 50.6 percent from the floor.

Rockets' Alperen Sengun: Big double-double in win
Sengun contributed 28 points (11-20 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 6-7 FT), 10 rebounds, three assists and four steals across 30 minutes during Wednesday's 121-95 victory over Sacramento.
The 28 points led all scorers on the night as Sengun delivered his second straight double-double -- one with boards, one with assists -- and 11th of the season in 19 games. The fifth-year center also set a new season high in steals, and he's emerging as an elite fantasy asset in 2025-26, averaging 23.1 points, 9.1 boards, 7.1 assists, 1.3 steals, 1.1 threes and 1.0 blocks while shooting 50.5 percent from the floor.

Rockets' Amen Thompson: Double-doubles with seven dimes
Thompson produced 20 points (8-16 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 12 rebounds, seven assists, two steals, one block and five turnovers in 37 minutes during Wednesday's 121-95 blowout win over the Kings.
After a rough two-game stretch to close out November, Thompson has been hot to begin December, scoring at least 20 points in back-to-back games while racking up the defensive stats. He's also shot a respectable 11-for-13 at the line over the current hot streak, and he's gone 16-for-32 from the floor.

Rockets' Tari Eason: Aiming to return before 2026
Eason (oblique) is targeting a late December return, Michael Shapiro of SI.com reports.
Eason was given a four-to-six-week timetable for a return after being diagnosed with a strained right oblique Nov. 15. He's on track to return near the six-week mark and is hopeful to make it back before the calendar flips to 2026. Look for players like Josh Okogie, Jae'Sean Tate and Jeff Green to continue to see more minutes while Eason is sidelined.

Rockets' Dorian Finney-Smith: Likely out through December
The Rockets are eyeing January for Finney-Smith (ankle) to make his season debut, Michael Shapiro of SI.com reports.
The target month would appear to rule out the veteran forward for the rest of December. However, Finney-Smith is beginning to ramp up his basketball activity with live action in practice. Until Finney-Smith is fully recovered from ankle surgery, Josh Okogie should play meaningful minutes.

Rockets' Steven Adams: Given green light
Adams (ankle) will play in Wednesday's game against Sacramento, Vanessa Richardson of Space City Home Network reports.
Adams has been cleared to take the floor Wednesday night, though he'll do so as a member of the second unit. In 11 appearances off the bench this season, Adams is averaging 6.5 points and 9.0 rebounds across 19.1 minutes.

Rockets' Reed Sheppard: Coming off bench
Sheppard isn't part of the starting five for Wednesday's game against Sacramento, Michael C. Wright of ESPN.com reports.
Sheppard's streak of four consecutive starts will come to an end Wednesday, as he'll be replaced by Josh Okogie in the first unit. During the four-game stretch, Sheppard averaged 14.0 points, 4.5 rebounds, 4.0 assists, 2.3 steals and 1.0 blocks across 29.5 minutes.

Rockets' Josh Okogie: Back with the starters Wednesday
Okogie will return to the starting lineup for Wednesday's matchup with the Kings, Michael C. Wright of ESPN.com reports.
Okogie will replace Reed Sheppard in the starting unit in a matchup-based decision by coach Ime Udoka, so Okogie should be looking at minutes in the mid-20s Wednesday evening. Through 12 games as a starter this season, Okogie owns averages of 7.5 points, 2.5 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 1.3 triples and 1.9 steals per game.

Rockets' Steven Adams: Questionable vs. Kings
Adams (ankle) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Kings.
The 32-year-old center is nursing right ankle tendinopathy. Houston tends to roll with a jumbo lineup, though it's possible Aaron Holiday would be the direct fantasy beneficiary of Adams' potential absence Wednesday if the Rockets opt to go a bit smaller.

Rockets' Aaron Holiday: Plays 33 minutes off bench
Holiday totaled 10 points (3-10 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds and two assists across 33 minutes during Monday's 133-125 loss to Utah.
Holiday led all bench players in minutes by a wide margin, emerging as the team's backup point guard behind Amen Thompson. In his last eight games, Holiday is averaging 12.0 points, 1.0 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 0.8 steals and 2.6 threes on a 40.4 percent clip.

Rockets' Amen Thompson: Reaches 20-point threshold
Thompson provided 23 points (8-16 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 7-9 FT), eight rebounds, three assists and two blocks over 37 minutes during Monday's 133-125 loss to the Jazz.
Thompson bounced back from a dud Sunday against the Jazz in which he was held to five points on 2-for-8 from the field. He was far more aggressive on the offensive end Monday, and while he was unable to connect from deep, he still reached the 20-point threshold. Thompson has also been productive on the boards of late, averaging 9.0 rebounds over his last seven appearances.

Rockets' Alperen Sengun: Shines in loss
Sengun racked up 31 points (12-19 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 6-8 FT), eight rebounds, 14 assists, five blocks and two steals in 38 minutes during Monday's 133-125 loss to Utah.
Sengun reached the 30-point threshold in an efficient manner, combining with Kevin Durant for 63 of the team's 125 points. Sengun was also impressive as a distributor and at the rim, tallying double-digit assists for the first time in 18 appearances this season while racking up a season-high five blocks.

Rockets' Kevin Durant: Tallies 32 points in loss
Durant contributed 32 points (10-25 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 10-12 FT), nine rebounds and five assists in 40 minutes during Monday's 133-125 loss to the Jazz.
Durant was effective as a scorer and fell just one rebound shy of his first double-double of the 2025-26 campaign. However, he also committed a team-high five turnovers in the loss. Durant continues to show up in the scoring column for the Rockets, putting up 20 or more points in eight of his last nine matchups.

Rockets' Dorian Finney-Smith: Remains out for Houston
Finney-Smith (ankle) will not play Monday against the Jazz.
Finney-Smith continues to rehab from offseason ankle surgery and remains without an official timetable to return. He can be considered week-to-week moving forward.

Rockets' Steven Adams: Won't play Monday
Adams (rest) won't play Monday against the Jazz.
Monday's game is the second leg of a back-to-back set, so the Rockets will hold out the veteran for maintenance reasons. In Adams' absence, Clint Capela is likely to see an uptick in minutes in the frontcourt.
