Durant recorded 32 points (12-15 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), seven rebounds, two assists, four blocks and one steal across 43 minutes during Thursday's 133-128 overtime loss to the Pelicans.
For the seventh time this season, Durant eclipsed 30 points. He continues to defy Father Time, posting averages of 25.1 points, 4.7 rebounds, 3.9 assists, 1.0 steals, 1.0 blocks and 1.9 three-pointers in 35.7 minutes per contest.

Rockets' Amen Thompson: Notches 23 points
Thompson totaled 23 points (11-14 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-1 FT), six rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal in 41 minutes during Thursday's 133-128 overtime loss to New Orleans.
Thompson eclipsed 20 points for the ninth time this season and for the fifth time in his last seven outings. During that stretch, Thompson has produced averages of 19.7 points, 8.1 rebounds, 5.0 assists, 1.0 steals, 0.7 blocks and 3.1 turnovers in 37.8 minutes per contest.

Rockets' Josh Okogie: Solid line in loss
Okogie finished with 10 points (3-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 3-3 FT), four rebounds and three assists across 30 minutes during Thursday's 133-128 overtime loss to New Orleans.
The Rockets continue to trust Okogie with stable workloads, as his versatility on both ends of the court has made him an invaluable part of the rotation. Over his last five games, he's averaging 9.4 points, 4.2 rebounds, 1.2 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.0 three-pointers in 23.7 minutes per contest.

Rockets' Steven Adams: Struggles with shot
Adams logged six points (2-10 FG, 2-5 FT), 10 rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal across 28 minutes during Thursday's 133-128 overtime loss to the Pelicans.
Adams had a tough showing from the field, but he continues to be an elite source of rebounds with a sprinkle of defensive stats. Across 20 appearances, the center holds averages of 6.3 points, 8.7 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 0.8 steals and 0.7 blocks in 21.6 minutes per contest. That has him positioned just inside the top-200 players for per-game value in nine-category formats.

Rockets' Alperen Sengun: Double-doubles with eight dimes
Sengun provided 28 points (11-26 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 6-10 FT), 11 rebounds, eight assists, two blocks and two steals across 36 minutes during Thursday's 133-128 overtime loss to New Orleans.
This was Sengun's fifth straight double-double and his 14th of the year. He's been a top-30 stud in his age-23 season, posting averages of 23.6 points, 9.5 rebounds, 7.2 assists, 0.9 triples, 1.5 steals and 1.0 blocks per game.

Rockets' Tari Eason: Won't play Thursday
Eason is out for Thursday's game against the Pelicans due to a right oblique strain, per Will Guillory of The Athletic.
Eason needs at least one more contest to recover from the injury, which has kept him out since the middle of November. Josh Okogie should continue to soak up meaningful minutes in the frontcourt for the Rockets on Thursday.

Rockets' Tari Eason: Listed as questionable for Thursday
Eason is questionable for Thursday's game against the Pelicans due to a right oblique strain.
The injury has prevented Eason from playing since the middle of November, but the forward appears to be on the verge of returning. Eason is likely to carry a minutes restriction if he gains clearance for Thursday, but his eventual presence is still projected to eat into the minutes of Josh Okogie in the frontcourt.

Rockets' Reed Sheppard: Mixed bag in defeat
Sheppard finished with 14 points (5-17 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, one assist, one block and two steals in 32 minutes during Monday's 128-125 overtime loss to the Nuggets.
Sheppard's output Monday was perhaps a step in the right direction, considering his production had been on the decline of late, but the shooting inefficiency does leave a lot to be desired. With Tari Eason (oblique) nearing a return, Sheppard will likely need to heat up to maintain significant minutes. Over his last seven outings, the second-year guard has averaged 9.9 points, 4.0 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 1.4 steals in 25.9 minutes per game.

Rockets' Amen Thompson: Big workload in OT loss Monday
Thompson registered 14 points (5-13 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 4-5 FT), 12 rebounds and six assists in 44 minutes during Monday's 128-125 overtime loss to the Nuggets.
The 44 minutes were a season high for Thompson, helping him record his fifth double-double of 2025-26, but the Rockets have been leaning heavily on the third-year guard of late. Thompson played at least 40 minutes in four of the last 11 games, averaging 37.5 minutes over that stretch while producing 17.5 points, 8.7 boards, 5.4 assists and 1.4 steals.

Rockets' Jabari Smith: Second straight double-double
Smith totaled 16 points (6-11 FG, 4-6 3Pt), 10 rebounds, four assists and one block in 43 minutes during Monday's 128-125 overtime loss to the Nuggets.
The double-double was his fourth of the season, and two of them have come in the last two games. Smith has recorded all four of them since Nov. 16, and during that span, the fourth-year forward is averaging 15.8 points, 7.3 boards, 2.3 assists, 2.2 threes and 1.5 combined blocks and steals.

Rockets' Kevin Durant: Busy at both ends of court Monday
Durant contributed 25 points (8-14 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 7-8 FT), five rebounds, seven assists, five blocks and one steal in 44 minutes during Monday's 128-125 overtime loss to the Nuggets.
The five rejections were not only a season high for Durant, but they also equaled his total from his prior 13 games combined. The future Hall of Famer also scored at least 25 points for the fifth time in seven contests since returning to the Rockets after attending to a personal matter in late November. Over that stretch, he's averaging 25.3 points, 5.4 assists, 4.3 boards, 2.0 threes, 1.1 blocks and 0.9 steals while shooting 53.3 percent from the floor and a sizzling 50.0 percent (14-for-28) from beyond the arc.

Rockets' Alperen Sengun: Posts triple-double in OT loss
Sengun finished Monday's 128-125 overtime loss to the Nuggets with 33 points (14-27 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 5-6 FT), 10 rebounds, 10 assists, two steals and a block across 42 minutes.
Sengun engaged in a back-and-forth battle with Nikola Jokic, as both players posted a triple-double in this heavyweight matchup, but at the end of the day, the Rockets' big man couldn't avoid the defeat for Houston. This was Sengun's first triple-double of the 2025-26 campaign, and he's now posted either a triple-double or a double-double in his last four appearances dating back to Dec. 1.

Rockets' Tari Eason: Not playing Monday
Eason (oblique) is out for Monday's game against the Nuggets, Vanessa Richardson of Space City Home Network reports.
Head coach Ime Udoka clarified that Eason's absence from Monday's game isn't a setback in his injury but rather general soreness after a workout. The forward hasn't played in a month while dealing with an oblique injury, so his absence shouldn't have a lot of fantasy ramifications. His next chance to play will come against the Pelicans on Thursday.
