Holiday is dealing with back spasms, which is why he is on the injury report. The guard’s availability does not affect fantasy basketball, as he isn’t guaranteed rotation minutes when healthy.

Zion is a late addition to the injury report, which doesn’t bode well for his chances at taking the court on Wednesday. If Williamson is ultimately sidelined, more minutes could be available for Karlo Matković and Micah Peavy, while Saddiq Bey would likely shoulder a heavier offensive responsibility.

HOU • Guard-Forward • #1

Thompson recorded another robust stat line, continuing to offer excellent fantasy value. The Rockets’ guard/forward has been a top-50 player in eight- and nine-cat formats. While the value may not align with his Yahoo! ADP (21), Thompson is only two rounds off after getting off to a slow start to begin the season. Something to watch is whether Houston adds a point guard ahead of the trade deadline, as that would affect Thompson’s fantasy ceiling.

On a night when Houston’s starters didn’t have their best stuff early on, Sheppard gave the Rockets important production off the bench. The second-year guard shot 5-of-10 from the field in the second half, and the 21 points were the most he’s scored in a game since a December 20 win over the Nuggets in which he tallied 28. Sheppaed has been ranked outside the top-200 in eight-cat formats over the past two weeks, so the season-long value has taken a hit. That said, he’s capable of having nights like Tuesday when he offers excellent production.

After going off for a season-high 39 in a January 17 win over the Timberwolves, Durant has totaled 36 over his last two games. However, he was more efficient on Tuesday than in Sunday’s win over the Pelicans, and the seven assists were a nice bonus for fantasy managers. Durant has recorded 22 assists over the last three games and has offered second-round value in eight-cat formats over the past two weeks.

Şengün finished Tuesday’s comeback victory one assist shy of his second triple-double of the season. While he only attempted two shots in the fourth quarter, the Rockets’ center’s basket with 38.6 seconds remaining extended his team’s lead to four. Houston held San Antonio to 14 points in the final frame. Houston now hits the road for a challenging back-to-back, visiting Philadelphia on Thursday and Detroit the following night.

The Rockets lost Steven Adams to a Grade 3 ankle sprain during Sunday’s win over the Pelicans, opening up a spot in the starting lineup. While Tari Eason (ankle) is available after a five-game absence, he’ll come off the bench, with Okogie receiving the starting nod.

Adams left Sunday’s game against the Pelicans with an ankle injury and didn’t return. While X-rays were negative, Udoka told reporters Tuesday that Adams is dealing with a Grade 3 ankle sprain and he’s out indefinitely. With Adams sidelined, Tari Eason will move back into the starting lineup and Clint Capela could move into the rotation as the backup center.

While fellow rookie Jeremiah Fears (two points, three rebounds, two assists and one block) has hit a rough patch recently, shooting 40.2 percent from the field over the past two weeks, Queen’s production has been consistent. During these two weeks, the rookie center has been close to a top-50 player in eight-cat formats. Fears was limited to ten minutes, with Queen sharing the frontcourt with Yves Missi (10/7/4/1/2) to begin the second half. That’s something fantasy managers should watch during the Pelicans’ three-game Week 14.

Williamson’s game does have some flaws: he isn’t a great foul shooter, and turnovers can be an issue. However, when he’s healthy, the Pelicans’ forward can offer solid fantasy value. Having scored at least 20 points in six of his last seven appearances, Williamson has been close to a top-75 player over the past two weeks. The Pelicans play three games in Week 14 without a back-to-back, so availability shouldn’t be an issue for Zion.

Murphy led six Pelicans in double figures with his 21 points, extending his streak of games with at least 21 to eight. Over the past two weeks, he has been a top-10 player in eight-cat formats. With the Pelicans not having control of their first-round pick, tanking should not be in the equation. That’s good news for fantasy managers who are hoping Murphy can help carry them to a league title. The Pelicans open a three-game Week 14 on Wednesday against the Pistons.

Adams, who started alongside Alperen Şengün, needed help getting back to the locker room after rolling his left ankle during the fourth quarter. The good news is that X-rays were negative, so the veteran center is dealing with a sprain. However, Adams is likely going to miss some time, which should push Clint Capela (DNP-CD) into the rotation.

Durant didn’t shoot the ball well, making one of his eight three-point attempts, but that didn’t prevent him from making some history. With a fourth-quarter free throw, he passed Dirk Nowitzki to move into sixth on the all-time scoring list. The next name on the storied list is Michael Jordan. Durant didn’t have his best night scoring-wise, but he did dish out eight assists to preserve some value. He’ll look to have a better night on Tuesday against the Spurs.

Şengün had a good night, shooting 66.7 percent from the field and matching his career-high with five steals. If there has been an issue for the Rockets’ center recently, it has been the foul line. Over the past two weeks, Şengün has only made 45.8 percent of his attempts. Sunday’s 3-of-5 effort is a step in the right direction, and he’s still shooting 69.9 percent for the season.

All that was missing from Thompson’s stat line was a three-pointer, but that’s a common occurrence for the third-year guard. Over the past two weeks, he has been close to a top-50 player. While that isn’t on par with his Yahoo! ADP (21), Thompson’s production has been consistent. The Rockets play three games in Week 14.

On a night when teammate Kevin Durant made some personal history, Smith had one of the best games of his NBA career. The Rockets’ forward finished with a season-high point total, and the seven three-pointers were a career-high. And to say Smith needed a night like Sunday would be an understatement. Even with this performance, he’s shot 36.1 percent from the field over the past two weeks. Smith will look to carry the momentum into a three-game Week 14 that begins on Tuesday against the Spurs.

On Thursday, Durant had one of his worst shooting performances of the season in a blowout loss to the Thunder. However, he was able to respond with one of his best games of the year. The turnovers and free throws were suboptimal, but he set a new season high for scoring and was still effective as a playmaker. Durant hasn’t been as effective this year as he’s been in the past, but he’s still more than capable of outings like this from time to time.

Though it was an abysmal night from the free throw line, Şengün was able to record his third-straight double-double while posting a full stat line. The poor free throw percentage dragged his overall value down in this game, but he was able to do enough for help Houston get the win before fouling out late in the game. They’ll wrap up the week against the Pelicans on Sunday, which is a favorable matchup for Şengün to have another big night.

Bey remained in the starting lineup with Herb Jones (ankle) still out. The 26-year-old shooting guard had 20 points on 10 attempts with two three-pointers. Bey continues to be worth streaming when Jones is out. The Pelicans are off until Sunday’s game against the Rockets.

Murphy cooled off finally after dropping at least 31 points in four of his last five games entering play Friday. The 25-year-old small forward wasn’t very efficient with 22 points on 21 field goal attempts. His five three-pointers came on 14 three-point attempts. Murphy has still provided first-round per game value over the last two weeks. The Pelicans will close out the week Sunday against the Rockets on the road.

On one hard, Williamson’s last two games have been remarkable. He’s 21-of-26 from the field with 52 points in his last two games. On the other hard, he was also 10-of-15 from the free throw line with seven turnovers, which can torpedo fantasy value in certain formats. Williamson is still a fantasy mainstay when healthy and has displayed elite athleticism on a nightly basis this season.

Adams played 25 minutes off the bench in Thursday’s loss to the Thunder. His absence from the injury report means he’ll be available for both ends of a back-to-back for the first time this season. Alperen Şengün is locked in as the starting center, which limits Adams’ fantasy upside.

Eason has missed Houston’s last three games, most recently sitting out Thursday’s loss to the Thunder. Josh Okogie has started the previous two, but his production in that role has been limited.

Şengün recorded his 18th double-double of the season on Thursday, with this being the first time since before Christmas that he’s recorded one in consecutive games. The Rockets’ center’s fantasy progress was somewhat derailed by injuries that sidelined him for five of seven games after Christmas, but he appeared to be getting back on track. The good news for Şengün managers is that the Rockets still have two games left in Week 13.

While double-doubles have been the norm for frontcourt partner Alperen Şengün, that hasn’t been the case for Smith. On Thursday, he recorded his eighth of the season and second since going on a run of four consecutive games with a double-double in mid-December. Rostered in 47 percent of Yahoo! leagues, Smith has been a 12th-round player in eight-cat formats over the past month.

The Rockets had a rough night shooting the ball, making 34 percent of their field-goal attempts overall and 7-of-24 from beyond the arc. Durant missed all five of his three-point attempts, but the production in other categories, most notably rebounds and steals, should help compensate for the inefficient scoring to an extent. He’ll look to bounce back on Friday in what should be another challenging matchup, as the Rockets host the Timberwolves.

Friday’s game will be the sixth that Jones has missed with a sprained left ankle. That’s concerning, as he missed seven games with the same injury before logging 35 minutes in a January 6 loss to the Lakers.

After being a starter for most of his rookie season, Missi has primarily been a fantasy afterthought in 2025-26. However, Wednesday’s performance was one of his best, with the Pelicans’ center recording his second double-double of the season. Nine of Missi’s 12 rebounds came on the offensive end, and his play affected how the playing time was distributed. While Missi played 34 minutes, starter Derik Queen (four points, six rebounds, four assists, one steal and one block) played 16. Wednesday isn’t a sign to give up on Queen, but rather a reminder to keep an eye on Missi, especially if the rookie were to go down with an injury.

All that was missing from Williamson’s stat line on Wednesday was a three-pointer, but that’s to be expected of the Pelicans’ forward. Foul shooting remains an issue for him, as he’s making 52.2 percent of his attempts over the past two weeks. However, for those willing to punt free-throw percentage and turnovers, Williamson has been close to a top-25 player over the past two weeks. As long as he’s healthy, Zion can offer solid fantasy value.

Murphy has scored at least 31 points in four of his last five appearances, continuing to lead the way offensively for the Pelicans. A top-20 player in eight-cat formats for the season, he’s been a top-5 player over the past two weeks. With the Pelicans not having control of their first-round pick, there’s no reason for them to consider tanking. That’s great news for managers who have Murphy rostered, as it should ensure that he’ll be available during the fantasy playoff weeks.

The highs are quite high, and the lows are rather low for Poole. Over his last five games, he has hit at least four triples in three of them, and he has gone scoreless in the other two.

Murphy’s scorching hot stretch continued in this game. This was his fifth straight game with at least 20 points and three three-pointers while shooting at least 50 percent from the floor.

Following a six-game absence, Bey was back and starting for New Orleans. While he played a big role and was able to score some points, he didn’t contribute as much across the board as he has in the past.

Thompson has been on quite the scoring stretch, which continued in this game. He has scored at least 20 points in four straight games and in seven of his last eight appearances. However, the most impressive part has been his improvement at the free throw line. His free throw percentage has leaped up 12.2 percent this season, and he was outstanding from the line in this game. His last three games have been average, but prior to that, he went four straight games without missing a shot from the charity stripe. This is an encouraging development for Thompson’s upside as a shooter, which can lead to fantasy superstardom.

KD is always a consistent scorer, but his impact on the glass recently has been huge.
