Thompson was one of Houston’s most productive players against the Lakers. On the offensive end, he excelled in his role as a combo guard, scoring as well as nearly any other Rockets player while concluding with a team-high in assists. Thompson didn’t wow with his defensive stats in terms of being disruptive with steals and blocks, but he rebounded well en route to his 16th double-double of the season. Wednesday’s rematch against the Lakers will give him a chance to outdo himself.

Smith Jr. led the Rockets in scoring on Monday, despite some struggles from behind the three-point line. He scored the ball fairly consistently throughout the game, but never had any major scoring runs. The fourth-year forward also made an impact on the glass and finished as the only starter not to commit multiple turnovers. Smith wasn’t otherworldly on Monday but did well in his minutes.

Durant logged an unspectacular game on Monday, relative to his usual production. He scored under 20 points and failed to make a three-point shot for the second time in the last three games, each coming in Houston losses. And even beyond the low scoring total, his struggles against this Los Angeles defense can be seen in the seven turnovers he committed. Durant lacked his usual production, but he will have an opportunity to bounce back on Wednesday in a second straight matchup with the Lakers.

After sitting out Friday’s win over the Pelicans, Şengün has been ruled out for a second straight game. However, it will be Capela who replaces him in the starting lineup after Dorian Finney-Smith did so the last time out. The matchup dictated the change, as the Lakers start a true center in Deandre Ayton while New Orleans did not.

Poeltl was efficient on Sunday and helped his fantasy managers by gobbling up the boards. The 30-year-old center also had no turnovers. Poeltl has provided fifth-round per game value over the last two weeks. He’ll have his work cut out for him as a difficult matchup with the Cavaliers awaits in the Raptors next game on Wednesday.

Barrett has been excellent so far in the month of March with at least 20 points in six out of seven games. The 25-year-old small forward also helped out in category leagues, a rare occurrence for him this year. Barrett has provided fifth-round per game value over the last two weeks, which is a significant uptick in his production compared to the rest of the season.

Thompson’s stat line on Friday was arguably his best since the All-Star break. The Rockets’ guard/forward finished two assists shy of a triple-double, and he’s scored 20 points or more in four of his last five appearances. Since March 1, Thompson has provided third-round value in eight-cat formats. After a relatively slow start to the season, Amen has upped the production at the right time, with the fantasy playoffs in many leagues right around the corner.

Durant made the biggest shot of Friday’s game, as his mid-range jumper with 7.6 seconds remaining gave Houston a one-point lead. The future Hall of Fame forward would make two free throws to seal the victory, capping his first 30-point game since March 2. Houston’s Week 20 schedule is complete, and the Rockets are scheduled to play four games in Week 21.

After having his fantasy value take a significant hit in February, Barrett has gotten off to a good start in March. In six games, he’s averaged 23.2 points, 5.8 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 0.7 steals and 2.0 three-pointers while shooting 59.1 percent from the field. That’s been a positive development for fantasy managers, especially those competing in category leagues. The Raptors host the Pistons on Sunday in their final game of Week 20.

In a game with three 30-point scorers, Ingram stole the show in the Raptors’ win over the Suns. Shooting 65 percent from the field, the slender forward scored 36 points, the most in a game for him since he dropped 37 in a November 24 win over the Cavaliers. While Ingram’s fantasy value has slipped slightly since the All-Star break, fantasy managers have nothing to worry about. The Raptors host the Pistons on Sunday in their final game of Week 20.

There were only two positives for Şengün in Tuesday’s blowout defeat. He kept the turnovers in check, recording two, and the three blocks were the most in a game for him since tallying three in a late February win over the Kings.

Durant wasn’t the only Rockets player to have a subpar night, but this one had to hurt for those who have the future Hall of Fame forward on their roster.

Wednesday was a night to forget for the Rockets, who were outscored by a 40-22 margin in the third quarter and would go on to lose by 36. Thompson produced a decent stat line, but the defensive output was minimal. And for a player who doesn’t offer much value in the points category, that can be an issue for fantasy managers. The Rockets play once more in Week 20, Friday night against the Pelicans.

Barnes had a rough night at the office scoring-wise, as he shot 1-of-6 from three-point range. Category league managers can take solace in the rebounds, assists and steals.

Playing in New Orleans for the first time since being traded to the Raptors, Ingram received a deserved ovation at the conclusion of his tribute video on Wednesday. While productive, he was unable to do enough to keep the Raptors from losing both games of their quick road trip. After scoring 14, 11 and nine points in his last three appearances, Ingram got back on track in New Orleans. That’s good news for fantasy managers, as the Pelicans return home for their final two games of Week 20.

Smith entered Sunday having missed three of Houston’s previous four games with an ankle injury, and his return pushed Reed Sheppard to the bench.

While Şengün shot the ball well from the field on Sunday, his overall impact was limited. And, to the dismay of managers in nine-cat formats, turnovers remain an issue for the Rockets’ center.

Also of note: Poeltl played 30 minutes, and he’s logged 29 or more in three straight games for the first time this season.
