Rockets' Aaron Holiday: Listed questionable Friday
Holiday is questionable for Friday's game against Detroit with back spasms.
Holiday is looking to return from a one-game absence after sitting out the front end of Houston's back-to-back set Thursday. With Tari Eason (ankle) out against the Pistons, Holiday could end up seeing some decent run off the bench if he's able to suit up.

Rockets' Tari Eason: Won't play Friday
Eason (rest) will not play Friday against the Pistons.
After logging 28 minutes in Thursday's overtime loss to the 76ers, Eason will be held out for left ankle injury management. Presumably, he will be back in action Monday against Memphis. Josh Okogie and Clint Capela are candidates to be more involved as a result Friday.

Rockets' Kevin Durant: Coughs up eight turnovers in loss
Durant finished Thursday's 128-122 overtime loss to Philadelphia with 36 points (13-21 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 5-6 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and one block over 44 minutes.
Durant was responsible for half of Houston's 16 turnovers in the six-point loss, tying his season high in giveaways and finishing with a minus-15 plus/minus. Alperen Sengun posted a team-worst minus-18 differential, recording 13 points (5-15 FG, 1-10 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, seven assists, three steals, two blocks and two turnovers across 38 minutes in the loss.

Rockets' Amen Thompson: Scores 17 points with nine dimes
Thompson contributed 17 points (7-11 FG, 3-5 FT), six rebounds, nine assists and three steals over 42 minutes during Thursday's 128-122 overtime loss to Philadelphia.
Thompson did a nice job running the offense, dishing out nine dimes before committing his first turnover, and he was also a pest on the defensive end. He's been hot through 12 games in January, flirting with top-30 value behind averages of 20.2 points, 4.8 assists, 8.5 rebounds, 1.5 steals and 0.6 swats per contest.

Rockets' Aaron Holiday: Sitting out Thursday
Holiday (back) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the 76ers.
Holiday had been listed as questionable heading into the day, but he'll end up getting the night off as he continues to tend to back spasms. The 29-year-old guard hasn't been in the rotation for Houston lately, so his absence won't free up minutes for any of the Rockets' other reserves.

Rockets' Isaiah Crawford: Back with parent club
Houston recalled Crawford from the G League's Rio Grande Valley Vipers on Thursday.
Crawford will rejoin the Rockets ahead of Thursday's game in Philadelphia, but the two-way player is unlikely to be in the mix for meaningful playing time off the bench. He's been limited to five total minutes over his two appearances for Houston on the season, but Crawford has been exceptional in the G League. Over his 15 outings with Rio Grande Valley, Crawford is shooting 51.0 percent from the field and 39.6 percent from distance while averaging 19.3 points, 7.3 rebounds, 2.7 three-pointers, 2.3 assists, 1.8 steals and 0.8 blocks in 34.9 minutes.

Rockets' Aaron Holiday: Iffy for Thursday
Holiday is questionable for Thursday's game against the 76ers due to back spasms.
It's worth noting that Thursday is the front end of a back-to-back for the Rockets. However, Holiday hasn't appeared in three consecutive contests, so his absence wouldn't seem to open up any playing time in the backcourt.

Rockets' Clint Capela: Logs 12 minutes in win
Capela finished with six points (2-3 FG, 2-2 FT), two rebounds and one block across 12 minutes during Tuesday's 111-106 victory over the Spurs.
Steven Adams recently suffered a Grade 3 left ankle sprain and will be out indefinitely, creating an opportunity for Capela to see more minutes off the bench. But if Tuesday was any indication, the Rockets could also lean heavily on some small-ball lineups. For now, Capela is only worth monitoring in deeper formats.

Rockets' Josh Okogie: Struggles in start
Okogie racked up five points (2-2 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 0-3 FT), one rebound and one steal across 17 minutes during Tuesday's 111-106 victory over San Antonio.
Okogie remained in the starting lineup but logged fewer than 20 minutes for the second straight game. With head coach Ime Udoka seemingly against starting Reed Sheppard, Okogie has been able to stick as a meaningful part of the rotation despite his lack of production. As a player who is averaging 5.5 points and 1.0 steals in 19.5 minutes per game this season, Okogie warrants no real fantasy attention.

Rockets' Tari Eason: Limited in return
Eason (ankle) ended with six points (3-6 FG), six rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal across 20 minutes during Tuesday's 111-106 victory over the Spurs.
Eason had started in each of his prior eight appearances, but the Rockets elected to bring him off the bench Tuesday while he made his return from a five-game absence. He had been averaging 26.1 minutes per contest in those starts, but his move to the bench also came with a reduction in playing time. While Eason didn't light up the box score in his return, he's worth grabbing in most fantasy leagues where available with the expectation that he eventually recaptures a starting role and sees his minutes pick up in future games.

Rockets' Reed Sheppard: Standout performance in win
Sheppard posted 21 points (8-17 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal across 29 minutes during Tuesday's 111-106 win over San Antonio.
Sheppard reminded everyone what he is capable of when afforded meaningful minutes, scoring at least 20 points for just the second time in the past 16 games. Trailing by as much as 16 points, Houston was able to turn the tables late, on the back of some fantastic play by Sheppard. While this was certainly a standout performance, fantasy managers are right to remain skeptical given the lack of trust from head coach Ime Udoka. If Sheppard was dropped in your league, he could be worth picking up, just in case this is the start of a turnaround.

Rockets' Alperen Sengun: Nears triple-double in win
Sengun supplied 20 points (7-13 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 5-5 FT), 13 rebounds, nine assists and two blocks across 34 minutes in Tuesday's 111-106 win over the Spurs.
Sengun turned in a well-rounded performance, securing his fourth double-double over his last five outings. The star big man finished as Houston's second-leading scorer and reached the 20-point mark for a third straight game. Furthermore, he led all players in rebounds and assists while making his presence felt on the defensive end. Sengun tied the game high in swats and has recorded a block in six consecutive contests.

Rockets' Josh Okogie: Back in starting lineup Tuesday
Okogie is in the Rockets' starting lineup against the Spurs on Tuesday, Will Guillory of The Athletic reports.
Okogie was moved to the bench for Sunday's loss to the Pelicans after starting in the three prior games. However, he'll return to the starting lineup Tuesday in the absence of Steven Adams, who is out indefinitely due to a Grade 3 left ankle sprain that he suffered against New Orleans on Sunday. As a starter this season, Okogie is averaging 6.8 points, 3.2 rebounds, 1.1 assists, 1.1 threes and 1.5 steals over 23.9 minutes per game.

Rockets' Tari Eason: Won't start in return
Eason (ankle) won't start Tuesday's game against the Spurs, Will Guillory of The Athletic reports.
Eason is available to return from a five-game absence due to a right ankle sprain, though he'll come off the bench and could operate on a minutes restriction in his return. In 12 outings off the bench so far this season, the 24-year-old forward has averaged 11.2 points, 5.1 rebounds and 1.6 assists in 21.8 minutes per contest.
