  • Rockets' Tari Eason: Out vs. Pelicans

    Eason (lower leg) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against New Orleans.

    Eason is being shut down Thursday for injury management reasons. His next chance to suit up will arrive Sunday in Toronto.

  • Rockets' Steven Adams: Good to go Thursday

    Adams (ankle) is listed as available for Thursday's game against the Pelicans.

    Adams sprained his left ankle during Saturday's loss to the Thunder, though he'll return to action Thursday without missing a contest. The big man's presence shouldn't affect any fantasy decisions, as he has averaged 3.2 points and 4.6 rebounds across only 10.0 minutes per game in his last five appearances.

  • Rockets' Alperen Sengun: Gets green light

    Sengun (knee) will play Thursday against the Pelicans.

    Sengun was considered questionable due to left knee soreness, but the issue won't force him to miss out on Thursday's action. He's turned in three straight double-doubles heading into his team's clash with New Orleans.

  • Rockets' Fred VanVleet: Absent from injury report

    VanVleet (undisclosed) isn't listed on the Rockets' injury report ahead of Thursday's game against the Pelicans.

    VanVleet was a limited participant in Tuesday's practice for unknown reasons, but he'll be available to play New Orleans. In 24 appearances this season, VanVleet is averaging 15.3 points, 6.0 assists, 4.3 rebounds and 1.5 steals across 35.5 minutes.

  • Rockets' Steven Adams: Labeled questionable

    Adams (ankle) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Pelicans, Ben DuBose of USA Today reports.

    Adams exited Saturday's game after suffering a sprained left ankle, and the issue could keep him sidelined Thursday. With Alperen Sengun (knee) also questionable, Jock Landale and Jeff Green could see more action at the center spot.

  • Rockets' Tari Eason: Labeled questionable

    Eason is questionable for Thursday's game against New Orleans due to left lower leg injury management, Ben DuBose of USA Today reports.

    The Rockets could give Eason the night off Thursday for injury management purposes. If that's the case, Cam Whitmore, Jeff Green and Jae'Sean Tate could see more minutes.

  • Rockets' Alperen Sengun: Iffy for Thursday

    Sengun is questionable for Thursday's game against the Pelicans due to left knee soreness, Ben DuBose of USA Today reports.

    Sengun has been dealing with lingering soreness in his left knee, but he's yet to miss a game this season. The 26-year-old center is averaging 18.6 points, 10.7 rebounds, 5.2 assists and 2.2 combined steals-plus-blocks across 31.0 minutes per game in the regular season. If he can't play, Steven Adams (ankle) and Jock Landale would see expanded roles.

  • Rockets' Fred VanVleet: Limited during Tuesday's practice

    VanVleet didn't participate during the portion of Tuesday's practice that was open to the media, but coach Ime Udoka said the point guard was active for the rest of the session, Adam Spolane of Sports Radio 610 Houston reports.

    VanVleet missed a Dec. 8 win over the Clippers due to a knee issue, marking his second absence of the season, and he's totaled only 16 points (6-28 FG, 3-20 3Pt) over two appearances since returning to action. It's unclear if his prior knee issue is related to his current struggles or his limitations during Tuesday's practice. However, more clarity will come when the Rockets release their injury report for Thursday's game against the Pelicans, which should drop Wednesday afternoon.

  • Rockets' Fred VanVleet: Goes 1-of-11 from three

    VanVleet produced eight points (3-15 FG, 1-11 3Pt, 1-2 FT), nine rebounds, seven assists and one steal in 42 minutes during Saturday's 111-96 loss to Oklahoma City.

    VanVleet felt the full force of the Thunder defense, shooting 1-of-11 from the three-point line. It's been a disappointing start to the season for VanVleet, at least from a production standpoint. Across 24 games, he is averaging 15.3 points, 6.0 assists, 1.5 steals and 2.4 three-pointers in 35.4 minutes per game, shooting 37.7 percent from the floor. Although efficiency has never been a strong point for VanVleet, the hope is that he can improve in that area as the season continues to progress.

  • Rockets' Aaron Holiday: Fails to score in loss

    Holiday posted zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt) in five minutes during Saturday's 111-96 loss to the Thunder.

    Holiday continues to play a limited role off the bench, failing to score in five minutes of action. Although he has now suited up in five straight games, Holiday has struggled to make the most of his opportunities. During that time he has delivered averages of just 4.4 points and 1.2 assists in 10.9 minutes per game.

  • Rockets' Amen Thompson: Drops team-high 19 points

    Thompson chipped in 19 points (9-15 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-3 FT), seven rebounds, one assist and three steals in 30 minutes during Saturday's 111-96 loss to the Thunder.

    Thompson scored a team-high 19 points, tallying double-digits for the fourth straight game. Despite continuing to come off the bench, Thompson has been a meaningful contributor, averaging 12.1 points, 7.0 rebounds and 2.1 combined steals and blocks in 27.1 minutes per game. Although it would likely take an injury to Fred VanVleet for Thompson to step into a starting role, he should continue to be a pivotal piece on a team exceeding all expectations thus far.

  • Rockets' Steven Adams: Exits, doesn't return Saturday

    Adams exited in the third quarter of Saturday's 111-96 loss to the Thunder with a left ankle injury and was unable to return, Adam Wexler of Sportstalk 790 Houston reports.

    Adams finished with four points (1-2 FG, 2-4 FT) and six rebounds in six minutes before departing. He'll benefit from some extra healing time with the Rockets off until Thursday against the Pelicans, but if Adams is unable to move past the ankle injury by then, Jock Landale would likely slot in as the primary backup to starting center Alperen Sengun.
