Kevin Durant (personal) is out for Wednesday’s game against the Rockets.

Durant will miss a second game for personal reasons, which should result in Reed Sheppard making another start. The second-year guard has played well this season, and he is worth rostering, especially with Durant unavailable.

Jae’Sean Tate (personal) is not on the injury report for Wednesday’s game against the Warriors.

Tate will be available for Wednesday’s game, and it could be a matchup in which he sees time. The Warriors only have one true big man playing consistent rotation minutes (Quinten Post), and the Rockets won’t have Steven Adams (ankle). Tate won’t be worth streaming in fantasy leagues, but he’s worth watching with Tari Eason (oblique) also out.

Steven Adams (ankle) is out for Wednesday’s game against the Warriors.

Adams is dealing with right ankle tendinopathy and will miss Houston’s final game before Thanksgiving. Clint Capela may pick up a few additional minutes off the bench, but he still is not at the point where he can be trusted in most fantasy leagues.

Amen Thompson matched a season-high with 28 points (10-of-16 FGs, 7-of-7 FTs), seven rebounds, eight assists and one block over 36 minutes on Monday, powering the Rockets to a 114-92 win over the Suns.

Thompson took over as Houston’s primary offensive catalyst with Kevin Durant — averaging a team-high 24.6 points per game — out of the lineup for the first time this season due to personal reasons, propelling the Rockets to their 11th time in their last 13 contests. They were in complete control from the outset of this one as Thompson knocked down 10 of 16 shots from the floor while also chipping in eight assists and seven rebounds in a stat sheet-stuffing performance worthy of a Thanksgiving feast. The 22-year-old burgeoning superstar has been hot recently, averaging 20.7 points, 7.7 rebounds, 5.3 assists and 2.3 steals over his last three games, delivering second-round value for fantasy purposes during that stretch. The Rockets return to action on Wednesday night with a challenging road tilt against the Warriors.

Aaron Holiday chipped in a season-high 22 points (8-of-17 FGs), two rebounds, two assists and two steals over 27 minutes off the bench in Monday’s win over the Suns.

Holiday drained six of 10 from beyond the arc while playing a season-high 27 minutes to provide a much-needed spark off the bench for a Rockets’ offense playing without Kevin Durant for the first time this season. The -year-old sharpshooter scored 12 of his 22 points in the first half to help lift Houston to a nine-point lead at the break which they wouldn’t relinquish. He doesn’t offer enough of a role to make an impact for fantasy purposes but he’s an important role player for the Rockets as they appear poised to make some serious noise in a loaded Western Conference.

Jaylon Tyson added 15 points (6-of-9 FGs, 1-of-1 FTs), nine rebounds, two assists, one steal, one block and two three-pointers in the loss to the Raptors on Monday.

Tyson logged his eighth double-digit scoring performance of the season on Monday against the Raptors. Efficient shooting led to production, and his efforts on the glass nearly earned him his first double-double of the 2025-26 campaign. Tyson will likely make his way back to the bench once the Cavaliers return to full health. But in the meantime, he’s a nice streaming option on nights when he steps into the starting lineup.

Evan Mobley totaled 14 points (5-of-7 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), five rebounds, four assists, one block and two three-pointers in the loss to the Raptors on Monday.

Mobley was one of four Cavaliers players to score in double figures on Monday, though his final line wasn’t his standard. The reigning Defensive Player of the Year finished the night with one stock and tied his third-lowest scoring total of the season. Mobley’s averages thus far have been pretty similar to his career-best 2024-25 season. He hasn’t taken a significant leap, but has been steady. Fantasy managers may be hoping for more moving forward.

Donvan Mitchell amassed 17 points (6-of-20 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), one rebound, eight assists, one steal and three three-pointers in the loss to the Raptors on Monday.

Mitchell failed to sustain the hot hand from his 37-point outing against the Clippers on Sunday. On the second night of a back-to-back, the superstar scoring struggled for much of Monday’s contest — he only tallied seven points through three quarters before chipping in 10 more in the fourth quarter. Inefficiency both inside and outside the arc hurt his production, and low free-throw output didn’t do much to make up for the off-shooting night. However, Mitchell did produce a game-high in assists and nearly notched the double-double. He’ll have a few days off before taking the court on Friday against the Hawks.

Steven Adams (ankle) is available for Monday’s game against the Suns.

Adams is available after being listed as questionable on the initial injury report. He’ll provide depth off the bench as Alperen Şengün’s backup at center. Josh Okogie has replaced Adams in the starting lineup for Monday’s game.

Reed Sheppard, Amen Thompson, Josh Okogie, Jabari Smith Jr. and Alperen Şengün will start Monday’s game against the Suns.

The Rockets won’t have Kevin Durant for Monday’s game, as he is away from the team for personal reasons. Sheppard, who has provided top-75 value in nine-cat formats this season, moves into the starting lineup to fill the void. The other change is Okogie, who replaces Steven Adams after the veteran center started Friday’s loss to the Nuggets.

Lonzo Ball, Donovan Mitchell, Jaylon Tyson, Evan Mobley and Larry Nance Jr. will start on Monday against the Raptors.

On the second game of a back-to-back, Ball will replace Darius Garland (toe) in the Cavaliers’ opening unit, and Larry Nance Jr. will also enter the starting lineup for Jarrett Allen (finger). The Cavs enter Monday’s contest with the same 12-6 record as the Raptors, who currently occupy the second spot in the Eastern Conference standings. Like Cleveland, Toronto is also on the second day of a back-to-back, after defeating the Nets on Sunday.

Dean Wade (knee) is out for Monday’s game against the Raptors.

The Cavaliers will be down multiple rotation frontcourt players for Monday’s game, with Wade joining starter Jarrett Allen (finger) on the sideline. There should be more minutes available to Nae’Qwan Tomlin, but he hasn’t been productive enough to merit being streamed in this spot.

Dean Wade (knee) is questionable for Monday’s game against the Raptors.

The Cavaliers are going to be shorthanded against the Raptors on Monday even if Wade is available. The 29-year-old power forward is dealing with a knee injury, but he’s in line for more minutes with Jarrett Allen out if he’s available against the Raptors.

Craig Porter Jr. (hamstring) is out for Monday’s game against the Raptors.

Porter is set to sit out again with a strained hamstring after missing Sunday’s game against the Clippers with the same injury. With Darius Garland (toe) also already ruled out, the Cavaliers will lean on Lonzo Ball and Donovan Mitchell to handle the ball against the Raptors on Monday.

Sam Merrill (hand) is out for Monday’s game against the Raptors.

Merrill is set to miss his fourth consecutive game with a sprained right hand. With the Cavaliers missing multiple starters in addition to Merrill, Jaylon Tyson should be used as a streamer wherever available.

De’Andre Hunter (rest) is out for Monday’s game against the Raptors.

Hunter is being given the night off on the second game of a back-to-back against the Raptors on Monday. The 27-year-old small forward had 17 points and four three-pointers against the Clippers on Sunday. Hunter is just one of six players listed as out already for the Cavaliers on Monday.

Jarrett Allen (finger) is out for Monday’s game against the Raptors.

Allen is set to miss his third consecutive game with a right middle finger injury. Jaylon Tyson has moved into the starting lineup in Allen’s absence, playing 27 and 23 minutes in the last two games. Dean Wade should also see additional minutes off the bench.

Darius Garland (toe) is out for Monday’s game against the Raptors.

Garland had just eight points in 29 minutes against the Clippers on Sunday. The 25-year-old point guard will sit out Monday’s game against the Raptors for injury management reasons. Garland’s play and availability have been up and down since returning from a toe injury that caused him to miss 11 games.

Evan Mobley amassed 18 points (9-of-12 FGs, 0-of-4 FTs), 10 rebounds, two assists, two steals and two blocked shots in Sunday’s win over the Clippers.

Mobley has recorded double-doubles in both games the Cavaliers played without Jarrett Allen (finger) to end Week 5. While some will focus on the opposition, with Cleveland taking care of the Pacers and Clippers, those two games were reminders of what Mobley can do when he’s the lone big man in the Cavaliers’ lineup. Mobley’s fantasy value hasn’t aligned with his Yahoo! ADP (19) yet, but he’s capable of closing that distance.

De’Andre Hunter accounted for 17 points (5-of-11 FGs, 3-of-4 FTs), four rebounds, four assists, one steal and four three-pointers in Sunday’s win over the Clippers.

Shooting just 31.3 percent from three on the season, Hunter has picked up the production recently. Over the last three games, he’s shot 12-of-24 from deep, which will definitely help that percentage for the season. However, the issue for Hunter isn’t percentages; it’s the limited production outside of points, rebounds and three-pointers. His four assists on Sunday were the most in a game for Hunter since November 13, when he dished out a season-high six against the Raptors. Racking up assists in a lineup that includes Darius Garland and Donovan Mitchell is challenging, which is where the defensive stats should come in. Unfortunately, the production in those categories has been limited.

Donovan Mitchell shot 14-of-22 from the field and 4-of-4 from the foul line in Sunday’s win over the Clippers, scoring 37 points with eight rebounds, six assists, one steal and five three-pointers.

The Clippers didn’t have an answer for Mitchell on Sunday, as he did most of what he wanted in the 120-105 victory. Since missing the Cavaliers’ November 12 game against Miami, he has scored at least 30 points in five of the last six games. During this run, Mitchell has averaged 31.3 points, 6.0 rebounds, 5.2 assists, 1.3 steals and 3.7 three-pointers while shooting 52.5 percent from the field. He’s been on a roll recently, which has been a significant development for those who have Spida rostered. Cleveland opens a three-game Week 6 in Toronto on Monday.

Jae’Sean Tate (personal) is out for Monday’s game against the Suns.

Tate has not been a consistent member of the Rockets’ rotation this season, so his absence will not affect fantasy basketball. However, it does leave them down another frontcourt option, as Tari Eason (oblique) is already out.

Steven Adams (ankle) is questionable for Monday’s game against the Suns.

Adams is dealing with left ankle tendinopathy, and there could be minutes available to Clint Capela if he’s unable to play on Monday. However, even if Capela picks up rotation minutes, he would not be worth the risk in most fantasy leagues. Also, the Rockets could bring Josh Okogie back into the starting lineup, especially with the Suns only having one true big (Mark Williams) in their starting lineup.

Kevin Durant (personal) is out for Monday’s game against the Suns.

Durant is away from the Rockets, attending to a family matter, so he will not return to Phoenix for the first time since being traded during the offseason. Reed Sheppard and Josh Okogie are two players who should see more opportunities with Durant unavailable. Sheppard has been a top-75 player in fantasy basketball this season and is the superior option for managers seeking reliable production.

Craig Porter Jr. (hamstring) is out for Sunday’s game against the Clippers.

Porter is out with a strained hamstring, and the Cavaliers will also be without Lonzo Ball for injury management reasons. They’ll ask even more of starters Darius Garland and Donovan Mitchell on Sunday, which is the first of two games in as many nights for Cleveland.

Sam Merrill (hand) is out for Sunday’s game against the Clippers.

Sunday’s game will be the third Merrill has missed with a sprained right hand. With Darius Garland and Jaylon Tyson available, both started Friday’s win over the Pacers. That should remain the case on Sunday, and Tyson is worth streaming in deep leagues.

Lonzo Ball (knee) is out for Sunday’s game against the Clippers.

Sunday’s game is the first of two in as many nights for the Cavaliers, so Ball will not play. With Craig Porter Jr. also out, head coach Kenny Atkinson may look to stagger the minutes of starters Darius Garland and Donovan Mitchell to ensure that one of those two is on the floor at all times.

Jarrett Allen (finger) is out for Sunday’s game against the Clippers.

Sunday’s game will be the second that Allen has missed with a strained right middle finger. Jaylon Tyson replaced him in the starting lineup for Friday’s win over the Pacers, logging 27 minutes. The second-year wing should take on a similar workload on Sunday, with Dean Wade’s playing time also receiving a boost.

Evan Mobley had 22 points (7-of-13 FGs, 7-of-11 FTs), 12 rebounds, four assists, four blocks and one three-pointer against the Pacers on Friday.

Mobley stepped into a major defensive role with Jarrett Allen (finger) sidelined. The 24-year-old center responded by stepping up and recording four blocks. Mobley also had a little more space around him offensively and put up 22 points and 12 rebounds, including four offensive rebounds. He had been off to a slow start to the season, returning just eighth-round value so far.

Darius Garland had 20 points (5-of-12 FGs, 7-of-7 FTs), two rebounds, seven assists and three three-pointers against the Pacers on Friday.

Garland played 27 minutes in his first game in 11 days after missing time with a toe injury. The 25-year-old point guard was on a minutes limit, but with how well he played that might not last much longer. How Garland bounces back will be important as well and the Cavaliers take the court next against the Clippers at home on Sunday.

Donovan Mitchell had 32 points (11-of-22 FGs, 6-of-8 FTs), nine rebounds, five assists, one steal and four three-pointers in the Cavaliers’ 120-109 victory over the Pacers on Friday.

Mitchell had yet another 30-point game against the Pacers on Friday. Only the Thunder’s Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has more games with at least 30 points this season. Mitchell showed incredible awareness without the ball in his hands in the third quarter when he signaled for Dean Wade to shoot a three-pointer. The 29-year-old shooting guard continues to light it up for the Cavaliers this year with a 30.2 points per game average.

Amen Thompson, Kevin Durant, Jabari Smith Jr., Alperen Şengün and Steven Adams will start Friday’s game against the Nuggets.

Due to knee issues, Smith and Adams were initially questionable for Friday’s game. They’re both available and will start as part of a massive Rockets lineup. This is the second consecutive game that head coach Ime Udoka has gone with this lineup, first doing so in Wednesday’s win over the Cavaliers.

Darius Garland, Donovan Mitchell, De’Andre Hunter, Jaylon Tyson and Evan Mobley will start Friday’s game against the Pacers.

Garland (toe) and Tyson (concussion) are back from injury, with the latter filling in for the injured Jarrett Allen (finger). Allen’s absence also impacts Mobley, who will be the lone big man in the Cavaliers’ starting lineup. That should give him more room to operate offensively, raising his fantasy ceiling. Nae’Qwan Tomlin will come off the bench and does not need to be rostered in redraft leagues.

Updating a prior post, Jarrett Allen (finger) is now out for Friday’s game against the Pacers.

There’s been no word as to what changed, but Allen is now out less than an hour after it was reported that he would play. His absence opens up a spot in the starting lineup, which Darius Garland could fill since he’s available. If that were to happen, Nae’Qwan Tomlin would remain with the starters, shifting Evan Mobley to the center position.

Jarrett Allen (finger) is available for Friday’s game against the Pacers.

Initially questionable for Friday’s game, Allen is officially good to go. He’ll occupy his usual place in the starting lineup, and this matchup could be a good one due to the inconsistency of the Pacers’ big men.

Jaylon Tyson (concussion) is available for Friday’s game against the Pacers.

After missing five games due to the league’s concussion protocol, Tyson is available to play on Friday. However, he’ll be restricted to 30 minutes in his first game back. Whether coming off the bench or filling a void within the starting lineup, the second-year wing has been productive. Tyson should be rostered in deep leagues, especially with Sam Merrill and Max Strus sidelined.

Darius Garland (toe) will be on a minutes limit for Friday’s game against the Pacers.

Garland is available after missing five games with a toe injury that initially became an issue in March and required surgery during the offseason. He’ll be under a restriction on Friday, with the expectation being that the point guard won’t play more than 30 minutes. Garland’s return impacts Craig Porter Jr. and Tyrese Proctor the most, as the latter may fall out of the rotation entirely.

Jaylon Tyson (concussion) is questionable for Friday’s game against the Pacers.

Tyson has missed Cleveland’s last five games due to concussion protocols. If he can play on Friday, the second-year will likely come off the bench, as Darius Garland (toe) is also questionable. Tyson’s best chance to start would be if Garland were unable to play.

Jarrett Allen (finger) is questionable for Friday’s game against the Pacers.

Having fractured his left ring finger earlier this season, Allen is now dealing with a sprained right middle finger. If he can’t play on Friday, there should be more room for Evan Mobley to operate offensively. As for the starting lineup spot, Dean Wade and Nae’Qwan Tomlin are possible replacements, which would shift Mobley to the five.

Darius Garland (toe) is questionable for Friday’s game against the Pacers.

Garland is on the verge of a return after missing Cleveland’s last five games with a toe injury. His presence is essential to the Cavaliers, who have relied on Donovan Mitchell to be the starting point guard, with Lonzo Ball and Craig Porter Jr. coming off the bench. If Garland plays on Friday, Porter may fall out of the rotation entirely.

Sam Merrill (hand) is out for Friday’s game against the Pacers.

Merrill will miss a second straight game as he continues to recover from a sprained right hand. While Nae’Qwan Tomlin started Wednesday’s loss to the Rockets, Darius Garland and Jaylon Tyson are both questionable for Friday’s game. If they’re available, Tomlin will return to the bench.

Steven Adams (knee) is questionable for Friday’s game against the Nuggets.

Adams was inserted into the starting lineup for Wednesday’s win over the Cavaliers, bumping Josh Okogie to the bench. Okogie may have been moved back into the starting lineup regardless of Adams’ status. Still, the chances of him returning to that role increase exponentially if the veteran center’s knee keeps Adams out.

Jabari Smith Jr. (knee) is questionable for Friday’s game against the Nuggets.

Smith was initially questionable for Wednesday’s win over the Cavaliers, but he started and played 31 minutes. If he can play against the Nuggets, the Rockets forward will be in line for a similar workload. If Smith can’t play, Reed Sheppard becomes a player of greater importance despite not playing the same position.

Aaron Holiday tallied 18 points (5-of-7 FGs, 5-of-5 FTs), one steal and three three-pointers in Wednesday’s win over the Cavaliers.

Holiday has hit double figures in three straight games, with Wednesday’s total being a season-high. He didn’t provide anything beyond the points, three-pointers and percentages, so there’s no need to consider rostering Holiday. Reed Sheppard (12/2/2/1/1 with two three-pointers) remains the superior option for fantasy managers, especially with Tari Eason out due to injury.

Alperen Şengün finished Wednesday’s win over the Cavaliers with 28 points (10-of-17 FGs, 8-of-10 FTs), 11 rebounds, seven assists, one steal and one blocked shot.

Şengün was outstanding on Wednesday, outplaying Cleveland’s tandem of Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen while recording his ninth double-double of the season. The Rockets center, who was effectively the starting power forward with Steven Adams (6/11/3/0/1) in the lineup, is providing top-25 value in eight- and nine-cat formats. That aligns with Şengün’s Yahoo! ADP, so those who have him rostered are in a good place.

Kevin Durant shot 6-of-18 from the field and 7-of-8 from the foul line in Wednesday’s win over the Cavaliers, scoring 20 points with three rebounds, three assists and one three-pointer.

Durant was on the proverbial “struggle bus” Wednesday night, shooting poorly from the field and committing four turnovers. Thus far, while his numbers remain solid, KD’s fantasy value has not met the expectations of most managers. Ranked just outside the top-50 in nine-cat formats, he has been two rounds more valuable in eight-cat. Given Durant’s track record and skill set, there’s no need for fantasy managers to lose any sleep over his most recent performance.

Amen Thompson, Kevin Durant, Jabari Smith Jr., Alperen Şengün and Steven Adams will start Wednesday’s game against the Rockets.

With the Cavaliers boasting a bigger frontcourt than most teams, the Rockets have made a change to their starting lineup. Adams will start, which shifts Smith and Şengün up a position, with Josh Okogie coming off the bench. Okogie provided limited value as a starter, so he should already be on the waiver wire in most leagues.

Jabari Smith Jr. (knee) is available for Wednesday’s game against the Cavaliers.

Smith is good to go after being considered questionable on Houston’s initial injury report. He will shift up a position for Wednesday’s matchup, with Josh Okogie moving to the bench in favor of Steven Adams.

Jabari Smith Jr. (knee) is questionable for Wednesday’s game against the Cavaliers.

Smith most recently played 43 minutes in Sunday’s overtime win over the Magic, and his absence would leave a hole in the Rockets’ starting lineup. If he cannot play, Steven Adams is a potential replacement in the starting lineup, especially considering the matchup. Reed Sheppard may also see his minutes increase and should be rostered in 12-team leagues.

Amen Thompson recorded 12 points (4-of-13 FGs, 4-of-4 FTs), 10 rebounds and two assists in Sunday’s win over the Magic.

Thompson notched his second double-double of the season on Sunday, but he had a difficult night shooting-wise. Over his last two games, the third-year wing has shot 10-of-30 from the field. The good news for Houston is that Reed Sheppard picked up the slack, coming off the bench to score 16 points with seven rebounds, two assists, one steal and two three-pointers. With all that Thompson brings to the table defensively and as a secondary playmaker, his role is secure. And Sheppard is developing into a player who doesn’t need to start to provide tangible fantasy value.

Alperen Şengün tallied 30 points (11-of-31 FGs, 8-of-10 FTs), 13 rebounds, eight assists and two blocks in Sunday’s overtime win over the Magic.

Şengün has recorded a double-double in four straight games, with Sunday’s being his first with at least 30 points since Houston’s season-opener. Unfortunately, fantasy managers took a beating in the field-goal percentage and turnover (five) categories, but efficiency has not been a significant issue for the Rockets center this season. Şengün heads into Week 5 providing top-30 value in eight- and nine-cat formats, performing slightly better in the former.

Kevin Durant finished Sunday’s overtime win over the Magic with 35 points (13-of-24 FGs, 7-of-7 FTs), five rebounds, six assists, one block and two three-pointers.

Durant has scored at least 30 points in two straight and three of his last four appearances, serving as an offensive catalyst during Houston’s four-game win streak. Playing on a better all-around squad than the Suns team he left during the offseason, KD’s points, rebounds and assists have decreased, but not by much. All it takes for him to make good on his Yahoo! ADP (16) is a sustained run of excellence, something he’s shown himself capable of doing throughout his illustrious NBA career. Unfortunately, the Rockets play only two games in Week 5.

Tari Eason (oblique) will be out for 4-6 weeks.

Initially announced to have suffered a hip injury during Friday’s win over the Trail Blazers, Eason has been diagnosed with a strained oblique. While Jeff Green could move into the rotation, it’s just as likely that Josh Okogie and Reed Sheppard will absorb some of the minutes that would have gone to Eason. Jae’Sean Tate is another possibility, but he has not recorded double-digit minutes in any of his seven appearances this season.

Alperen Şengün stuffed the stat sheet on Friday with 25 points (9-of-13 FGs), 10 rebounds, nine assists, three steals, three blocks and four three-pointers against the Trail Blazers

Şengün has been a force all season, but this was arguably his best performance of the year. He fell one assist of a triple-double, but it was the defensive production that really made this an elite performance for him. His assists and steals matched his season-high, while the blocks were the most he’s had in a game this year. On top of that, he didn’t turn the ball over once. This was an incredible outing for Şengün, and he’ll look to wrap the week up on a high note against the Magic on Sunday.

Jabari Smith Jr. lit up the Trail Blazers with 22 points (9-of-16 FGs), five rebounds, three assists and four three-pointers on Friday.

It’s early, but Smith has started this season out well and is currently posting career-highs in points, three-pointers and field goal percentage. This was his second 20-point game of the season, and he matched his season-high for three-pointers. Smith has been a consistent presence in the starting lineup for the Rockets, and while he hasn’t had many big performances, he has been a steady performer.

Kevin Durant led the Rockets with 30 points (12-of-19 FGs), five rebounds, three assists, one steal and three three-pointers in a 140-116 win over the Trail Blazers on Friday.

When Durant has had his shot going this year, he has been unstoppable. This was his fourth 30-point performance of the season, and he has shot at least 50 percent from the floor in each of those. KD’s arrival has helped Houston be the best offensive team in the league so far this season, and he hasn’t even been at his best yet. More performances like this will help both fantasy managers and the Rockets.

Tari Eason (hip) will not return to Friday’s game against the Trail Blazers.

Eason’s early exit could open the door for Jeff Green to return to the rotation, but it is more likely that Reed Sheppard and Josh Okogie will just see a few extra minutes. The Rockets could also turn to more two-big lineups, which would result in more minutes for Steven Adams and Clint Capela.

Reed Sheppard shot 8-of-11 from the field and 0-of-1 from the foul line in Wednesday’s win over the Wizards, scoring 21 points with three rebounds, three assists, two steals, one block and five three-pointers.

Tari Eason accumulated 20 points (7-of-12 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), six rebounds and four three-pointers in Wednesday’s win over the Wizards.

While the usual suspects played well for the Rockets on Wednesday, the team also received excellent production from its bench. Eason recorded his second 20-point game of the season and finished one three-pointer shy of his previous high. He’s ranked just outside the top-100 in eight- and nine-cat formats, with decreases in rebounds and steals production lowering Eason’s value. He did not record any defensive stats on Wednesday, the only thing that fantasy managers could complain about when assessing Eason’s performance.

Alperen Şengün amassed 16 points (6-of-13 FGs, 2-of-4 FTs), 13 rebounds, six assists and two three-pointers in Wednesday’s win over the Wizards.

Şengün has recorded six double-doubles this season, including Wednesday’s effort against the Wizards. The final stat line was modest, but Şengün has dished out at least six assists in every game he’s played. He’s providing third-round value in eight-cat formats, not too far removed from his Yahoo! ADP of 19. Şengün and the Rockets should be challenged more on Friday when they host the Trail Blazers in an NBA Cup group play matchup.
