Eason returned to the court on Monday after missing Friday’s win over the Pistons, and he was placed back in the starting lineup immediately. The production was good, with the Rockets’ forward now having knocked down at least four three-pointers in five games this season. Last season, Eason had one such game. He does remain under a minutes restriction, but Eason doesn’t need to log heavy minutes to provide solid fantasy value.

For the first time this season, Durant has recorded three consecutive 30-point games. And he kept the turnovers in check, as that category has been a minor issue for nine-cat managers recently. Over the past two weeks, Durant has been a third-round player in nine-cat, one round behind his eight-cat value. But this is picking nits; KD’s fantasy value has remained excellent throughout his first season in Houston.

Simply put, the Grizzlies had no answer for Şengün, regardless of who they gave the task of defending him. The Rockets center made his first seven shot attempts and shot 15-of-17 from the field on the night. The 33 points were the most in a game for Şengün since December 15, when he hit that number in an overtime loss to the Nuggets. Add in the rebounds and assists, and Monday was an excellent night to have Şengün rostered.

Eason is off the injury report and back in the starting lineup for the Rockets, sending Josh Okogie back to the bench. Houston has had an up-and-down season but has won four out of its last five games. With their starting unit back intact, the Rockets will have a stronger chance of collecting another win against a banged-up Gizzlies team.

After a five-game absence, Holiday is available for Tuesday’s game. However, while he may see some action, the reserve point guard is unlikely to get the time needed to affect fantasy basketball. Leave Holiday on the waiver wire.

Koloko backed up Onyeka Okongwu (12/10/2 with a block in 31 minutes) at center, and he logged more minutes than Mouhamed Gueye (seven points and six rebounds in 13 minutes). Koloko is on a two-way deal, but he could see meaningful minutes until Kristaps Porziņǵis (Achilles) returns to the lineup. The former is worth a look in deep leagues only.

Johnson couldn’t get it going as a scorer, but he did everything else in the box score, and fantasy managers ended up with another strong performance. Johnson will look to get back on track from an efficiency standpoint when the Hawks face the Celtics on Wednesday.

McCollum hasn’t had trouble offering strong scoring numbers off the bench, but Monday’s final stat line represents arguably his best all-around performance in a Hawks uniform. Fantasy managers who rolled with McCollum were treated to a team-high point total, meaningful counting stats, strong defensive contributions and a flurry of triples.

Risacher is nearing a return after nearly three weeks on the shelf, but until he’s back, Corey Kispert and Vit Krejčí should see increased run. Despite the bump in playing time, neither Kispert nor Krejčí are worth a look outside of deep fantasy leagues.

Porziņǵis is participating in basketball activity, but he’s still at least a week away from returning to the court. Onyeka Okongwu has been soaking up minutes in KP’s absence, and he’s been a strong producer for fantasy managers. Mouhamed Gueye has earned some additional backup minutes, but he’s only worth a look in deep leagues.

Holiday has missed Houston’s last five games with a back injury. While having the veteran guard available would give the Rockets another option off the bench, Holiday is not a lock to play rotation minutes.

Finney-Smith is available after sitting out Friday’s win over the Pistons for injury maintenance. While the veteran forward’s availability allows Houston to expand its rotation, Finney-Smith won’t affect fantasy basketball.

Eason did not play in Friday’s win over the Pistons, allowing Josh Okogie to start and play 35 minutes. Eason’s return will likely push Okogie to the bench, and there isn’t much to gain from streaming him in that role.

Inclement weather has forced a change to the start time for Monday’s game, which was initially scheduled to begin at 7:30 PM Eastern. Monday’s game between Philadelphia and Charlotte was also moved up, and it will start at 3 PM Eastern.

Due to a bone contusion in his left knee, Risacher has not appeared in a game since January 7. Being assigned to the Hawks’ G League affiliate is a step in the right direction, as it’s a sign that he’s able to do some on-court work. While Vit Krejčí was Risacher’s replacement in the starting lineup in the immediate aftermath of his knee injury, Corey Kispert has been the most recent replacement. Neither player should be rostered in most fantasy leagues.

McCollum hasn’t been great with the Hawks, but he has been a consistent source of points. That held true in this game. McCollum should continue to see plenty of minutes for Atlanta, mostly as a reserve, but his impact in category leagues will remain limited. However, he should be able to contribute more in other categories than he did in this game. Just not much more.

Okongwu remains limited on the glass, but he has been able to make an impact in a multitude of categories consistently. He also led the Hawks in scoring in the win. Okongwu is currently providing third-round value in nine-category leagues this season and has been able to produce value across the board. This was a strong performance for him, and he’ll look to keep it going against the Pacers on Monday.

Johnson had a few rough performances in January, but the last three games have been strong. He has averaged 27.7 points, 16.3 rebounds and 7.7 assists per game during this stretch. He hasn’t been as strong in the other categories, but he has been a beast in points, rebounds and assists. He matched his career high for boards in this game, which he has now set three times this season. He’ll look to keep his dominance on the glass up against the Pacers on Monday.

Capela hasn’t been more than a depth piece down low for the Rockets this season, which hasn’t resulted in much production in the box score. However, with Steven Adams (ankle) out indefinitely, Capela has taken on more minutes and was able to contribute some boards and blocks in this game. He’ll be a solid reserve moving forward, but as long as Alperen Şengün is healthy, Capela won’t play enough to be worth rostering.

Durant got off to a hot start in this game and entered halftime with 18 points. He remained hot after the break and ended up scoring at least 30 points for the second time in 24 hours. Durant has now shot at least 55 percent from the floor in four of his last five games. He has been hot recently and continues to play big minutes; he’s averaging 39.3 minutes per game over the past two weeks. As long as he’s on the floor, KD will continue to shine.

Smith has had some subpar performances recently, but he was able to turn in a strong line on Friday. This was only his second double-double of the month, and despite being a high-level defender, Smith hasn’t been able to consistently contribute defensive stats. That wasn’t the case in this game. He didn’t do much scoring, but he was efficient. He’ll look to keep it going against the Grizzlies on Monday.

Holiday is set to miss his fifth consecutive game when the Rockets take on the Pistons in Detroit. The veteran guard has spent the majority of his three seasons in Houston as a depth piece, and his absence on Friday will leave an opportunity for Reed Sheppard to continue to soak up the majority of the backup point guard minutes.

Both players will get the night off for injury maintenance, which means Josh Okogie and Reed Sheppard should see additional minutes against Detroit.

While Şengün finished Thursday’s overtime defeat with a complete stat line, the efficiency was lacking. He shot 33.3 percent from the field and even worse from the foul line, struggling to get much going against the 76ers’ center rotation. Nights like Thursday haven’t been the norm for Şengün, but he’ll have another difficult matchup on Friday when the Rockets visit the Pistons.

Thompson’s improved field-goal percentage has given his fantasy value a welcome boost recently. Over the past two weeks, he’s shot 52.3 percent from the field, one reason why the Rockets’ guard/forward has been provided top-50 per-game value during this run. Obviously, fantasy managers have to put three-pointers when rostering Thompson, but there’s a lot that he brings to the table despite that “deficiency.”

After totaling 36 points on 12-of-30 shooting in his previous two games, Durant equalled the points tally on Thursday. However, while the shooting was highly efficient, he was responsible for a season-high eight turnovers. That may be a byproduct of Houston’s lack of a stable point guard, as Durant was left to navigate Philadelphia’s defensive pressure without much help. And things won’t get any easier for KD, as the Rockets visit the Pistons on Friday.
