Rockets' Amen Thompson: Expected to play against Miami
Thompson (ankle) is listed as probable for Friday's game versus the Heat.
Thompson is expected to return to action Friday after missing Houston's previous six outings due to a sprained left ankle. While the 22-year-old could reclaim his starting spot from Tari Eason, he will likely operate on a minutes restriction.

Rockets' Tari Eason: Tallies five swipes in win
Eason posted 16 points (7-10 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds, four assists, one block and five steals in 32 minutes during Wednesday's 116-108 victory over the Magic.
Eason made his seventh straight Wednesday and is averaging 17.1 points, 6.6 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 1.9 steals and 1.1 blocks in 30.9 minutes over that span. Only Hawks guard Dyson Daniels (3.0) averages more than Eason's 1.9 steals per contest this season.

Rockets' Fred VanVleet: Solid line in win over Orlando
VanVleet logged 19 points (4-15 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 8-8 FT), six rebounds, three assists and one steal in 36 minutes during Wednesday's 116-108 win over Orlando.
There have been quite a few ups and downs in VanVleet's five games since returning from a prolonged absence -- he made just one appearance between Feb. 3 and March 10. This game was undoubtedly a step in the right direction. While VanVleet will remain a reliable fantasy option for the Rockets as long as he stays healthy, his upside right now won't be the highest due to the inconsistencies he's showing on a game-to-game basis.

Rockets' Jalen Green: Puts up 26 points in win
Green notched 26 points (8-18 FG, 3-11 3Pt, 7-10 FT), seven rebounds and two assists in 37 minutes during Wednesday's 116-108 win over Orlando.
Green surpassed the 20-point mark for the fifth consecutive game, and while Alperen Sengun has been one of the most reliable scoring weapons for Houston all season long, Green can take over the offense on some stretches. That seems to be the case now, as this is the fifth time he's recorded at least four consecutive games with at least 20 points. The star guard is averaging 20.7 points, 5.8 rebounds and 4.9 assists per game since the beginning of March.

Rockets' Alperen Sengun: Posts strong double-double
Sengun registered 22 points (9-18 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 12 rebounds and four assists in 37 minutes during Wednesday's 116-108 victory over Orlando.
Sengun posted a double-double for the fourth straight game, and the fifth time over his last six appearances, as he remains a capable two-way player who can also fill the stat sheet from time to time. Firmly entrenched as one of the go-to options on offense for Houston, Sengun is averaging a robust line of 20.6 points, 10.1 rebounds, 5.4 assists, 0.9 steals and 0.7 blocks per game since the beginning of March.

Rockets' Jae'Sean Tate: Sees 22 minutes off bench
Tate registered seven points (3-5 FG, 1-2 3Pt), seven rebounds and one assist across 22 minutes during Monday's 144-137 overtime win over the 76ers.
Tate has eclipsed 20 minutes in back-to-back games for Houston, taking advantage of some extra minutes due to Amen Thompson (ankle) being out. In those two games, Tate has averaged 7.0 points, 5.5 rebounds, 1.0 assists, 1.0 blocks and 1.0 three-pointers. He's trending up as a streaming option in very deep leagues.

Rockets' Jabari Smith: Scores season-high 30 points
Smith posted 30 points (11-17 FG, 5-7 3Pt, 3-4 FT), eight rebounds, three assists and two steals across 39 minutes during Monday's 144-137 overtime victory over the 76ers.
Smith has been alternating between the starting lineup and a bench role since mid-February, and it's undeniable that this was his best game of the season -- not only off the bench but in general since he established a new season-high mark in scoring. The lack of consistency in his role limits Smith's upside in most fantasy formats, but he should remain a decent option, at least as a streaming alternative.

Rockets' Dillon Brooks: Stuffs stat sheet, fouls out
Brooks had 25 points (8-19 FG, 5-11 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six rebounds, five assists, one block and two steals in 40 minutes before fouling out of Monday's 144-137 overtime victory over the 76ers.
Brooks reached the 25-point plateau for the sixth time this season, and even though he's not known for being a reliable scoring weapon, there's no doubt he's going through a prolific stretch of late. The veteran forward is averaging 16.9 points, 3.4 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 0.8 steals per game since the beginning of March.

Rockets' Jalen Green: Hands out 13 dimes
Green posted 30 points (10-26 FG, 5-17 3Pt, 5-5 FT), seven rebounds, 13 assists, one block and two steals in 45 minutes during Monday's 144-137 overtime victory over the 76ers.
The 13 dimes were a season-high mark for Green, and he finished just three boards away from recording a triple-double. The star guard also seems to be riding another of his patented hot streaks in the scoring column as this was his fourth consecutive outing with more than 20 points. Green, who tends to embrace a bigger role in the playmaking department whenever Fred VanVleet (who was ejected Monday) or Amen Thompson (out with an ankle injury) aren't on the court, is averaging a solid line of 20.2 points, 5.7 rebounds, 5.2 assists and 1.2 steals per game since the beginning of March.

VanVleet was ejected after being assessed a Flagrant 2 foul in the fourth quarter of Monday's game against the 76ers, Ben DuBose of USA Today reports.
VanVleet was ejected in the final minutes of Monday's game after he committed a reckless foul under the basket. He'll finish the game with three points (1-6 FG, 1-5 3Pt), seven rebounds, five assists, two steals and two blocks across 38 minutes.

Rockets' Jabari Smith: Returning to bench
Smith isn't in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the 76ers, Lachard Binkley of SI.com reports.
Smith has fluctuated between a starting and bench role since mid-February, and he'll shift yet again Monday after drawing the start Saturday against the Bulls. The Auburn product has found success as a reserve, finishing in double figures in three of his last four appearances off the bench.

Rockets' Tari Eason: Starting against 76ers
Eason is in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the 76ers, Lachard Binkley of SI.com reports.
Eason will get the nod in the first unit in favor of Jabari Smith against an undermanned 76ers frontcourt. Over 11 games as a starter, Eason has averaged 14.7 points, 5.7 rebounds, 1.9 steals and 1.4 blocks in 30.0 minutes.

Rockets' Amen Thompson: Getting closer to return
Rockets head coach Ime Udoka said Monday that Thompson (ankle) has yet to go through contact drills, though the second-year wing is progressing well and could return to action as soon as Friday's game against Miami, Danielle Lerner of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Thompson has been out since March 10 due to a sprained left ankle, though he is expected to return shortly after he's able to go through contact drills. Once cleared to play, the 22-year-old will likely operate under a light minutes restriction for a game or two. Since the All-Star break, Thompson is averaging 16.0 points, 10.0 rebounds, 4.9 assists, 1.1 blocks and 0.6 steals in 36.6 minutes per game while shooting 60.6 percent from the field over eight appearances.

Rockets' Tari Eason: Available for Monday
Eason (lower leg) is off the injury report ahead of Monday's game against the 76ers.
Eason missed Saturday's game against the Bulls as he continues to nurse a left lower-leg issue, but he will be available Monday. Eason has started the last five games he has appeared in, averaging 16.6 points, 5.8 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 1.6 steals and 1.2 blocks in 29.0 minutes per contest over that stretch.

Rockets' Fred VanVleet: Steps up with 23 points Saturday
VanVleet closed Saturday's 117-114 win over Chicago with 23 points (8-20 FG, 5-14 3Pt, 2-4 FT), four rebounds, seven assists and one block over 35 minutes.
After seeing a limited workload in his first two games back from a right ankle sprain, VanVleet saw his usual minutes Saturday and responded by scoring at least 20 points with five or more made three-pointers for the first time since Jan. 25. The veteran point guard has seen his usage and numbers decline in 2024-25 even when healthy. but the 31-year-old remains a key piece of Houston's backcourt.

Rockets' Jalen Green: Leading scorer Saturday
Green registered 28 points (11-25 FG, 5-13 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six rebounds, three assists and one block over 38 minutes during Saturday's 117-114 win over the Bulls.
The fourth-year guard led all scorers as he topped 20 points for the third straight game. Green fell into a bit of a shooting slump earlier in March, but he's still drained multiple three-pointers in seven straight contests, averaging 18.6 points, 6.0 boards, 4.7 assists, 3.0 threes and 1.0 steals during that span.
