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.

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.

Williams was also questionable ahead of Wednesday’s win over the Bucks, but he did not play. If JayWill has to miss another game, Kenrich Williams and Branden Carlson will benefit the most in terms of playing time. “Kenny Hustle” would be worthy of streaming consideration in deep leagues, but he should not be considered a must-add player.

Caruso suffered a strained right adductor during Monday’s win over the Cavaliers, and Friday’s game will be the second that he’s missed since. Cason Wallace and Isaiah Joe have picked up a few additional minutes in Caruso’s absence, with the former starting due to Jalen Williams being out. Of the two, Wallace offers a higher fantasy upside.

Holiday will now have missed three straight games with a back injury and four of the last five. The one game he did play, he was only able to play for four minutes. He only averages 14 minutes per game on the season, so this is not a major loss for the Rockets’ rotation.

Already down a few rotation players, the Thunder lost Ajay Mitchell during Wednesday’s game with a hip contusion. The absences created opportunities for Williams to increase his production, and “Kenny Hustle” had one of his best games of the season. Wednesday’s game was his sixth this season in double figures, and the 18 points were three shy of his season-high. There’s no need to add Williams after this performance, but there may come a time later this season when his playing time increases due to other players resting for the postseason.

The Bucks had no answer for the reigning MVP, who was on his “A game” Wednesday night. Gilgeous-Alexander’s three misses were shots that he usually makes at a high clip, and he finished three rebounds shy of a triple-double. With Nikola Jokić sidelined by a knee injury, an argument can be made that Gilgeous-Alexander is the best player in fantasy basketball. And SGA could be in for another big night as the Thunder hosts the Pacers on Friday.

Inserted into the starting lineup due to Aaron Wiggins being out, Mitchell played 25 minutes before exiting with a right hip contusion.

The Thunder are without two players who started Monday’s win over the Cavaliers in Aaron Wiggins and Jaylin Williams. Dort will fill one of the voids in his return to action, with Mitchell filling the other. While Mitchell should already be rostered in some 12-team leagues, fantasy managers can afford to leave Dort alone.

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.

Holmgren has been excellent in fantasy hoops this season, but he hasn’t had many big scoring nights like this one. This was only the fourth time he scored at least 28 points in a game, with two of those coming in his first three games. Holmgren dominated the matchup against the Cleveland bigs, and he ranks inside the top 10 in nine-cat value over the past two weeks. He’ll look to stay hot against the Bucks on Wednesday.

SGA didn’t provide his typical dose of boards and dimes, but the defensive production was solid. However, the highlight was his second straight 30-point game, and he shot at least 60 percent from the floor in both. Most of his numbers are down from last season, but his field goal percentage has gone up 2.9 percent, making SGA one of the most efficient guards in the league. That shouldn’t change moving forward, and he’ll look to stay hot against the Bucks on Wednesday.

Jaylin Williams started this game in place of Jalen Williams, who is set to miss time with a hamstring injury. However, Jaylin exited early with a back injury, which resulted in Kenrich Williams starting the second half in his place. If Jaylin were to miss more than just the rest of this game, Kenny Hustle could start against the Bucks on Wednesday. He had a few productive starts last season, and even if he didn’t contribute a ton of value in this game, he would hold upside as a streamer in that scenario.

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.

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.
