Tyler Kolek (oblique) is questionable for Thursday’s game against the Celtics.

Kolek, the lone Knick on the injury report for Thursday’s game, is not a consistent member of the team’s rotation. His availability does not affect fantasy basketball.

Alperen Şengün finished Tuesday’s win over the Suns with 12 points (5-of-15 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), 14 rebounds and six assists.

Şengün locking in during the fourth quarter helped the Rockets pull away in Phoenix. The Suns could not find an answer for the Rockets’ center, who was especially impactful in making plays for his teammates. In the fourth quarter, Şengün recorded three assists and committed just one turnover. While Amen Thompson led the way with eight assists, Şengün recorded six and was able to get the turnovers in check after being a bit loose with the basketball early on.

Amen Thompson accounted for 22 points (10-of-16 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), 11 rebounds, eight assists, three steals and one blocked shot in Tuesday’s win over the Suns.

Thompson was outstanding on Tuesday, finishing two assists shy of a triple-double. The Suns struggled to come up with an answer for the athletic wing, even though he isn’t much of a threat on the perimeter. In addition to his work on the offensive end, Thompson put up four defensive contributions, including three steals. With the Rockets still able to finish as high as third in the Western Conference, Thompson should continue to play starters’ minutes for the team’s final three games of the regular season.

Jabari Smith Jr. tallied 20 points (6-of-18 FGs, 3-of-3 FTs), six rebounds, one assist, one block and five three-pointers in Tuesday’s win over the Suns.

For the second consecutive game, Smith scored at least 20 points and made five three-pointers. His percentage wasn’t good on Tuesday, with a 1-of-5 night inside the arc being more problematic than Smith shooting 5-of-13 from three. Add in the rebounds, and this was a solid showing from Smith, even with the low field-goal percentage. The Rockets have three games left in their regular-season schedule, starting with the 76ers on Thursday.

Kevin Durant amassed 24 points (8-of-20 FGs, 3-of-3 FTs), four rebounds, three assists and five three-pointers in Tuesday’s win over the Suns.

Playing in Phoenix for the first time since being traded during the offseason, Durant started slowly on Tuesday. He missed five of his first six shot attempts, and the Rockets were on the wrong end of a 21-0 run during the first quarter. Durant and the Rockets would eventually find their footing, with the veteran forward leading seven double-digit scorers with 24 points. The victory pulled Houston into a tie for fourth in the West, but the Lakers do hold the tiebreaker. And third remains within reach, as the Rockets trail the Nuggets by one game with three to go.

According to ESPN’s Shams Charania, JD Davison has signed a two-year deal with the Rockets.

Davison’s deal will be converted from a two-way to a standard contract, and he’ll fill out Houston’s final roster spot ahead of the 2025-26 playoffs.

Jalen Brunson led the Knicks with 30 points (11-of-26 FGs), three rebounds, 13 assists, two steals and three three-pointers in a 108-105 win over the Hawks on Monday.

Brunson got off to a slow start to this game, and he entered halftime with just six points. Per usual, he was able to come up big late to help lead the Knicks to victory. He scored 17 points in the fourth quarter and 24 total points in the second half to help New York secure a three-point victory. This was his 11th double-double of the season, with three of those coming in his last five games, including two straight. Brunson’s production this season was pretty similar to what he did last year, though he did slow down as the year progressed. Still, he reminded the world in this game that he’ll be ready to take over when the playoffs start.

OG Anunoby lit up the Hawks with 22 points (7-of-14 FGs), five rebounds, one assist, two blocks and four three-pointers on Monday.

The solution for the Knicks was apparently to get Anunoby going offensively. He scored a total of 35 points across their three-game losing streak, but he has averaged 26 points and five triples during this three-game win streak. Anunoby has been a fantasy star once again for New York despite a slight drop in minutes, and he’ll continue to be a pivotal piece for them as they fight for playoff positioning over the final three games of the regular season.

Karl-Anthony Towns recorded a double-double on Monday with 21 points (9-of-12 FGs), 12 rebounds, six assists, two steals, one block and two three-pointers against the Hawks.

Following a one-game absence against Chicago on Friday, Towns was back to take on Atlanta. That pushed Mitchell Robinson back to the bench, though he still contributed 12 rebounds and five stocks in 20 minutes. KAT wasn’t able to match his triple-double from his last appearance, but he was able to stuff the stat sheet efficiently, which was enough for the Knicks to win a third straight game. KAT hasn’t been as productive in his second season with the Knicks, but he’s still a fantasy stud and will be an important piece for them entering the postseason.

Amen Thompson accounted for 18 points (8-of-11 FGs, 2-of-4 FTs), three rebounds, seven assists and one steal in Sunday’s win over the Warriors.

Spending a good portion of his night chasing around Stephen Curry did not prohibit Thompson from recording a solid stat line. While he was only responsible for one steal, the Rockets’ wing shot the ball well from the field and finished second on the team in assists behind Kevin Durant. While Thompson did not reach his ADP (22), he provided fourth-round value in eight- and nine-cat formats, so he was far from a disappointment in fantasy basketball.

Alperen Şengün tallied 24 points (10-of-19 FGs, 3-of-3 FTs), six rebounds, seven assists, two blocks and one three-pointer in Sunday’s win over the Warriors.

Şengün’s layup with just under 12 seconds remaining gave Houston the 117-116 victory, extending their win streak to six games. The Rockets’ center finished with a final stat line that lacked only a steal, a positive end to championship week in Yahoo! default leagues. For those competing in leagues that will be active in Week 24, the Rockets still have plenty to play for in a four-game week. As a result, Şengün’s availability should not be a concern.

Jabari Smith Jr. amassed 23 points (9-of-12 FGs), nine rebounds, one assist and five three-pointers in Sunday’s win over the Warriors.

Smith shot 5-of-7 from beyond the arc on Sunday, making it seven straight games in which he’s made at least two three-pointers. The five triples were the most in a game for him since February 23 against the Jazz. Also, the 23 points were the most that Smith has scored in a game since March 20, when he hit that number in a win over the Hawks. Smith did not record any defensive stats, but the nine rebounds helped fantasy managers.

Kevin Durant finished Sunday’s win over the Warriors with 31 points (10-of-17 FGs, 8-of-9 FTs), eight rebounds, eight assists, three blocks and three three-pointers.

While he finished with 31 points, Durant’s biggest play on Sunday was an assist. His pass to Alperen Şengün led to the game-winning layup with 11.6 seconds remaining. The Rockets have won their last six games, and KD has averaged eight helpers per game during the run. In Sunday’s victory, Durant also provided solid value in rebounds and blocked shots, which fantasy managers were undoubtedly pleased with. For managers whose leagues run through Week 24, the Rockets play four games, starting with the Suns on Tuesday.

Karl-Anthony Towns (elbow) is not on the injury report for Monday’s game against the Hawks.

Towns is back after sitting out Friday’s rout of the Bulls. His return means that Mitchell Robinson will come off the bench, lowering his fantasy ceiling.

Tari Eason finished Friday’s win over the Jazz with 16 points (7-of-10 FGs), seven rebounds and two three-pointers.

Eason continues to find a bit of a rhythm ahead of the NBA playoffs and at the tail end of the fantasy playoffs. He made multiple three-pointers for the third time in the last four games and has now scored at least 15 points in four of his last five appearances. Eason’s new reserve role could be of high importance for the Rockets as the postseason nears. At his best, he can impact the game as a defender and multi-level scorer.

Thompson was one of the Rockets’ most productive players on the night. Despite a 34-point victory, he still logged 32 minutes and displayed his usual versatility on both ends of the floor. Efficient shooting inside the arc allowed him to conclude as one of two Houston players with at least 20 points. Meanwhile, his work on the defensive glass was a major factor in his team-high rebounds. As the fantasy season is nearing its conclusion, Thompson will have taken another step forward in Year 3. His potential remains high.

Mitchell Robinson accumulated 17 points (7-of-7 FGs, 3-of-4 FTs), 11 rebounds, two steals and one blocked shot in Friday’s win over the Bulls.

With no Karl-Anthony Towns (elbow), Robinson made his return to action as a starter after sitting out Wednesday’s win over the Grizzlies. He did most of his damage before halftime, finishing the first half with 15 points and 10 rebounds. Robinson was also responsible for three defensive contributions in his 23 minutes. Josh Hart also reached double figures in rebounds, grabbing 11 to go along with seven points and four assists. The Knicks play four games in Week 24 for managers whose leagues will remain active.

OG Anunoby tallied 31 points (9-of-15 FGs,6-of-6 FTs), eight rebounds, two assists, one block and seven three-pointers in Friday’s win over the Bulls.

For the second consecutive game, Anunoby and the Knicks took advantage of a lottery-bound opponent. He shot 7-of-10 from beyond the arc against the Bulls, matching his career-high for made threes in a game. Add in the rebounds, points and percentages, and this was an excellent end to Week 23 for those rostering Anunoby. The lone negative is that the Knicks won’t play again until Monday, ending OG’s fantasy season in Yahoo! default leagues.

Jalen Brunson accounted for 17 points (6-of-13 FGs, 4-of-4 FTs), one rebound, 10 assists and one three-pointer in Friday’s win over the Bulls.

Back in action after sitting out Wednesday’s win over the Grizzlies, Brunson played 30 minutes on Friday. With the Knicks scoring 20 of the game’s first 21 points, there was little need for the Knicks to push their point guard too far. Brunson recorded his second points/assists double-double in four appearances while committing just two turnovers. The Knicks are done for Week 23, but they’ll play four games in Week 24 for those competing in fantasy leagues that will still be active.

Kevin Durant amassed 25 points (8-of-12 FGs, 7-of-8 FTs), five rebounds, six assists, two blocks and two three-pointers in the win over the Jazz on Friday.

Durant had another efficient outing on Friday, needing only 12 shot attempts to score over 25 points and lead the Rockets in points. In addition to scoring, the decorated forward excelled on the glass and was also one of Houston’s leaders in assists on the evening. A 34-point win ultimately limited Durant to 30 minutes of action, but he still produced fairly well in his opportunities. The Rockets will close Week 23 on the road against the Warriors.

Karl-Anthony Towns (elbow) is out for Friday’s game against the Bulls.

Towns is out after recording his first triple-double of the season in Wednesday’s win over the Grizzlies. Mitchell Robinson, who did not play on Wednesday, will move into the starting lineup and is worth streaming in some 12-team leagues. Jalen Brunson, Mikal Bridges, Josh Hart and OG Anunoby complete the starting five.

Karl-Anthony Towns (elbow) is questionable for Friday’s matchup with the Bulls, and Mitchell Robinson (ankle) is off the injury report.

KAT is dealing with right elbow impingement, and his late addition to the injury report doesn’t bode well for his status against Chicago. If Towns is forced to sit this one out, Robinson would replace him in the starting five, making him a reliable Friday streaming option.

Jalen Brunson (ankle) and Miles McBride (pelvis) are off the injury report for Friday’s matchup with the Bulls.

Brunson and Deuce will be available after sitting out Wednesday, and both should handle their typical workloads. Jose Alvarado, Tyler Kolek and Jordan Clarkson should all see their minutes reduced with New York’s top two point guards available.

Kevin Durant totaled 19 points (7-of-16 FGs, 3-of-4 FTs), five rebounds, nine assists, one block and two three-pointers in the win over the Bucks on Wednesday.

Durant played more of a facilitating role in Wednesday’s victory. He was Houston’s leader in assists, which nearly led him to a double-double. One noteworthy stat was Durant’s two turnovers, making his high assist total even more significant. The two-time Finals MVP will certainly have better nights as a scorer, but he did what was required of him to help the team to a fourth consecutive win.

Reed Sheppard tallied 27 points (9-of-15 FGs), four rebounds, six assists, two steals and nine three-pointers on Wednesday in the win over the Bucks.

Sheppard had the hot hand against Milwaukee. All but one of his 15 shots were three-pointers, and he finished just one made triple away from logging 10 makes. Nevertheless, the second-year guard was one of Houston’s most productive scorers on the evening. His production has fluctuated throughout the season, but with back-to-back 20-point games, Sheppard could be entering the postseason with some momentum.

Alperen Şengün logged 25 points (9-of-13 FGs, 5-of-6 FTs), eight rebounds, four assists, two steals, one block and two three-pointers in the win over the Bucks on Wednesday.

Şengün showcased his versatility in Wednesday’s victory. As a scorer, he produced at the free-throw line, inside the arc, and from deep, en route to finishing as one of the Rockets’ leading scorers. He also distributed the ball well and was disruptive on the defensive end of the floor. He’s played some good basketball down the stretch of the season, and it’s coincided with team success. Friday’s matchup against the Jazz will present Şengün with another opportunity to log big numbers.

Landry Shamet (knee) accounted for 13 points (5-of-9 FGs, 0-of-1 FTs), three rebounds, one assist, two steals and three three-pointers in Wednesday’s win over the Grizzlies.

Back in the Knicks’ rotation after a five-game absence, Shamet played 31 minutes without incident on Wednesday. And he had a good night shooting the basketball, making three of five attempts from beyond the arc. With Miles McBride, who did not play on Wednesday, avoiding an injury scare during Sunday’s loss to the Thunder, getting Shamet back will strengthen New York’s perimeter depth ahead of the postseason.

OG Anunoby tallied 25 points (8-of-17 FGs, 5-of-6 FTs), 13 rebounds, three assists, one steal, two blocks and four three-pointers in Wednesday’s win over the Grizzlies.

After totaling 35 points in the first three games of the Knicks’ four-game road trip, Anunoby put up 25 in the finale on Wednesday. Add in the rebounds and other categories, and the Knicks’ wing gave fantasy managers an excellent stat line to work with. New York ends its Week 23 with a game against the Bulls on Friday, which could be another big game for Anunoby.

Mikal Bridges notched 24 points (9-of-15 FGs, 3-of-3 FTs), two rebounds, one assist, one block and three three-pointers in Wednesday’s win over the Grizzlies.

For the first time in a month, Bridges has scored at least 20 points in a game. No Jalen Brunson in the lineup opened things up for the other Knicks, especially those who take a back seat offensively on most nights. In addition to shooting 66.7 percent from the field, Bridges’ three free throws were the most he’s attempted in a game since March 13. In fact, since that win over the Pacers, he totaled four free-throw attempts in the nine games that followed. Regardless of who’s on the court for the Knicks, they need Bridges to be more aggressive on offense.

Karl-Anthony Towns finished Wednesday’s win over the Grizzlies with 20 points (8-of-12 FGs, 4-of-5 FTs), 11 rebounds, 11 assists and one blocked shot.

With Jalen Brunson sitting out Wednesday’s game, more of the Knicks’ offense ran through Towns in Memphis. And he took advantage of the opportunity, recording his first triple-double of the season. While Towns was responsible for seven turnovers, the percentages were excellent. The Knicks end Week 23 with a game against the Bulls on Friday. Given Chicago’s lack of interior depth, fantasy managers will hope for another big night from Towns, minus the turnovers.

Jose Alvarado, Mikal Bridges, Josh Hart, Karl-Anthony Towns and OG Anunoby will start against the Grizzlies on Wednesday.

Alvarado gets the start for the injured Jalen Brunson (ankle) on the second night of a back-to-back. He’ll join the usual starters and will have a chance to increase his production on both ends of the floor. Jordan Clarkson could play an even bigger role off the bench.

Reed Sheppard, Amen Thompson, Kevin Durant, Jabari Smith Jr. and Alperen Şengün will start Wednesday’s game against the Bucks.

After going with a bigger starting lineup in Tuesday’s rout of the Knicks, it’s business as usual for the Rockets on Wednesday. Sheppard returns to the starting lineup, with Tari Eason heading to the bench.

Jalen Brunson (ankle) will not play on Wednesday against the Grizzlies.

If the Knicks want to snap a three-game losing streak, they’ll have to do so on Wednesday without their top scorer. Brunson logged heavy minutes and struggled to produce on Tuesday against the Rockets, and now will sit out the second game of the back-to-back as the Knicks face the Grizzlies.

Miles McBride (groin) has been ruled out against the Grizzlies on Wednesday.

McBride will be sidelined for the second leg of this back-to-back, which should lead to extra minutes for Jose Alvarado. Jalen Brunson (ankle) is questionable, so if he is out, Tyler Kolek should see a big bump in minutes as well.

Mitchell Robinson (ankle) has been ruled out against the Grizzlies on Wednesday.

Robinson will be unavailable for the second leg of this back-to-back. Karl-Anthony Towns is playing, so Ariel Hukporti will fill out the backup center minutes behind him.

Landry Shamet (knee) is not on the injury report for Wednesday’s game against the Grizzlies.

Shamet will be back following a five-game absence. He should continue to play a large reserve role, but with the Knicks’ wing starters all healthy, Shamet won’t play enough to be worth rostering.

Jalen Brunson (ankle) is questionable to play against the Grizzlies on Wednesday.

Brunson struggled in Tuesday’s loss to Houston and could sit out the second leg of this back-to-back. If that happens, Jose Alvarado would get his second start for the Knicks, which should allow him to provide plenty of assists and steals.

Karl-Anthony Towns had 22 points (7-of-17 FGs, 6-of-8 FTs), eight rebounds, three assists and two three-pointers in Tuesday’s loss to the Rockets.

Towns’ eight rebounds were just the second time in his last eight games that he’s had less than 10 rebounds. The 30-year-old center bounced back with 22 points after scoring 15 and 13 points in his two previous games. Towns has provided third-round per game value over the last two weeks. The Knicks have two games remaining in Week 23, starting with a matchup against the Grizzlies on Wednesday.

Jalen Brunson had 12 points (5-of-14 FGs, 1-of-2 FTs), six rebounds, eight assists, one steal and one three-pointer in Tuesday’s loss to the Rockets.

Brunson had his lowest scoring output in three weeks, since scoring nine points in a 39-point win over the Nuggets. The 29-year-old point guard struggled, going 5-of-14 from the field including 1-of-5 from behind the three-point line. Brunson has provided seventh-round per game value over the last two weeks. The Knicks have two games remaining in Week 23, starting with a matchup against the Grizzlies on Wednesday.

Kevin Durant had 27 points (10-of-18 FGs, 3-of-4 FTs), six rebounds, eight assists, two blocks and four three-pointers in the Rockets’ 111-94 victory over the Knicks on Tuesday.

Durant started the game on fire by making his first four shots and scoring 10 points in the first three minutes of the game. The 37-year-old small forward also had six rebounds and eight assists, adding two blocks on the defensive end. Durant has provided third-round per game value over the last two weeks. The Rockets have three games remaining in Week 23, with a matchup against the Bucks on Wednesday coming next.

Miles McBride (groin) is available to play against the Rockets on Tuesday.

McBride made his return from a two-month absence with a core injury on Sunday, but he exited early with a groin injury. However, that won’t keep him sidelined for this game. He’ll occupy some of the reserve backcourt minutes, but his role will likely be too limited for him to make much of an impact for fantasy managers.

Amen Thompson, Tari Eason, Kevin Durant, Jabari Smith Jr. and Alperen Şengün will start against the Knicks on Tuesday.

Head coach Ime Udoka said that the decision to start Eason over Reed Sheppard was based on the matchup, so Sheppard could return to start against the Bucks on Wednesday. However, Eason will get the nod for this game and will look to stay hot after averaging 15.5 points and 7.5 rebounds over his last two games.

Landry Shamet (knee) is out for Tuesday’s game against the Rockets.

Tuesday’s game will be the fifth Shamet has missed due to a right knee injury. How much Jordan Clarkson and Mohamed Diawara will play depends on Miles McBride’s availability. If McBride, who’s questionable, can’t play, more minutes will be available to Clarkson and Diawara.

Miles McBride (groin) is questionable for Tuesday’s game against the Rockets.

Making his first appearance in a game since January 27 after undergoing sports hernia surgery, McBride may have aggravated the issue during Sunday’s loss to the Thunder. The good news is that he’s questionable for Tuesday’s game. If McBride can’t play on Tuesday, Jordan Clarkson and Mohamed Diawara would see their minutes increase.

Miles McBride (groin) left Sunday’s loss to the Thunder with 5:21 remaining in the third quarter.

Sunday’s game was the first for McBride since January 27, as he was returning from sports hernia surgery. During a scramble for a loose ball, the Knicks guard reached for his inner thigh area. While he was able to walk back to the bench without assistance, McBride did so gingerly. He did not return to the bench after heading to the locker room, and the severity of McBride’s injury is unknown. If he heads back to the sidelines, those minutes are likely to go to Jordan Clarkson, as Mohamed Diawara’s playing time has decreased recently.

Karl-Anthony Towns had 15 points (5-of-9 FGs, 5-of-5 FTs), 18 rebounds, two assists and one steal in Sunday’s loss to the Thunder.

Towns has been a very consistent rebounder averaging 12.5 rebounds in March. The 18 rebounds he had against the Thunder on Sunday were the most he’s had in a game since late January when he had 22 and 20 rebounds in back-to-back games. The Knicks have three games upcoming in Week 23, starting with a matchup against the Rockets on Tuesday.

Jalen Brunson had 32 points (13-of-22 FGs, 2-of-4 FTs), five rebounds, five assists and four three-pointers in Sunday’s loss to the Thunder.

Brunson has had good numbers this week, but the Knicks still managed to go 1-2. In two of the games he had 32 points and in the other game he had 26 points and 13 assists. The lone gripe for Brunson-reliant managers this week was that he only made six three-pointers. The Knicks have three games upcoming in Week 23, starting with a matchup against the Rockets on Tuesday.

Jabari Smith Jr. amassed 20 points (7-of-15 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), four rebounds, three assists, two blocks and four three-pointers in Sunday’s win over the Pelicans.

Smith was unable to extend his run of double-doubles to three games, but he has scored 20 points or more in three of his last six. The Rockets forward shot 4-of-9 from beyond the arc, and the two blocks moved his total to four over the last three games. Since the All-Star break, Smith has provided sixth-round value in eight-cat formats. While there have been occasional hiccups, his production has been more consistent than it was earlier in the season.

Kevin Durant tallied 20 points (7-of-16 FGs, 5-of-5 FTs), four rebounds, six assists, one steal and one three-pointer in Sunday’s win over the Pelicans.

With Alperen Şengün dominating on both ends of the floor, Durant’s 1-of-7 night from beyond the arc was not an issue. He still hit 20 points and dished out six assists, so this was not a bad night for him by any stretch of the imagination. Since the All-Star break, Durant has provided first-round value in eight-cat formats. The Rockets begin a four-game Week 23 on Tuesday against the Knicks.

Alperen Şengün finished Sunday’s win over the Pelicans with 36 points (12-of-23 FGs, 7-of-8 FTs), 14 rebounds, seven assists, three steals, three blocks and five three-pointers.

After recording consecutive 30-point games, Şengün was limited to 14 in Friday’s win over the Grizzlies. To say he got back on track in New Orleans would be accurate, as the Rockets’ center was dominant in all phases. Şengün finished three assists shy of a triple-double, and the six defensive contributions were a great bonus for fantasy managers. The Rockets play four games in Week 23, starting on Tuesday against the Knicks, which is excellent news for those rostering Şengün.

Miles McBride (core) is available for Sunday’s game against the Thunder.

McBride hasn’t played since January 27 after undergoing sports hernia surgery, but is set to return Sunday against the Thunder. The 25-year-old shooting guard will be on a minutes limit, according to coach Mike Brown, which is no surprise given the time missed.

Reed Sheppard posted a full line on Friday with 15 points (6-of-15 FGs), five rebounds, five assists, four steals, one block and three three-pointers against the Grizzlies.

Though Sheppard’s 28 minutes were fewer than the other starters, that was enough time for him to stuff the stat sheet. It took time, but Sheppard appears to be locked in as a starter. In that role over their last five games, he has averaged 15.0 points, 4.8 rebounds, 6.4 assists, 2.6 steals, 1.0 block and 3.4 triples per game, which has led to top-20 production in nine-category leagues despite him shooting 40.3 percent from the floor during that stretch. Sheppard is a fantasy superstar, and he’s finally getting the chance to showcase what he can do.

Jabari Smith Jr. recorded a double-double on Friday with 21 points (7-of-16 FGs, 5-of-8 FTs), 16 rebounds, four assists, one block, two three-pointers and five turnovers against the Grizzlies.

Though the turnovers put a damper on his outing, he was able to set a new season high for rebounds in the win. This was his second straight double-double, with the most recent one before that coming before the All-Star break. Smith has struggled with his shot lately, and this game wasn’t an exception. Still, he was able to make up for it on the glass, though he’s going to have to do a lot more to make an impact for fantasy managers.

Kevin Durant led the Rockets with 25 points (8-of-14 FGs), six rebounds, 10 assists, one steal and three three-pointers in a 119-109 win over the Grizzlies on Friday.

KD has been on an offensive tear as of late, averaging 29.4 points, 4.4 rebounds, 6.4 assists and 3.6 triples while shooting 54.9 percent from the floor over his last five games while scoring at least 25 points in each. This was his third point-assist double-double of the season, and while he has been able to contribute assists at a decent rate this year, managers shouldn’t expect many more double-doubles.

Amen Thompson totaled 11 points (4-of-8 FGs, 3-of-3 FTs), nine rebounds, 10 assists and two blocks in Wednesday’s loss to the Timberwolves.

Thompson’s 45 minutes of action featured noteworthy activity on both ends of the floor. Offensively, he picked his spots as a scorer and, on limited field-goal attempts, narrowly made it to double figures in points. Yet, the third-year guard set the table well for the others en route to his second double-digit assist performance of the season. He got after it on the defensive boards and also collected a couple of stocks before narrowly missing a triple-double. Thompson remains one of the Rockets’ more reliable players on a nightly basis and should continue to be productive throughout the rest of the season.

Alperen Şengün amassed 30 points (12-of-22 FGs, 6-of-6 FTs), six rebounds, three assists and four blocks in the loss to the Timberwolves on Wednesday.

20 of Şengün’s points came after halftime. He shot efficiently and made several timely blocks on the defensive end down the stretch, ultimately leading to a team-high in blocked shots. The 30-point outing marked the second consecutive for the fifth-year center, who continues to provide during the fantasy playoffs. A third straight 30-point outing could be on the horizon when the Rockets face the Grizzlies on Friday.

Kevin Durant added 30 points (9-of-22 FGs, 10-of-12 FTs), three rebounds, eight assists, two steals, one block and two three-pointers in the loss to the Timberwolves on Wednesday.

Durant struggled for most of Wednesday’s contest. He had shot only 3-of-14 from the field through the first three quarters, but came alive in the fourth period and in overtime in what was a game of huge momentum swings. Durant ultimately reached the 30-point mark for the second straight time, each time coming in losses. However, his production continues to be significant in fantasy leagues throughout the playoffs.
