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.

Alex Sarr (toe) is questionable for Friday’s game against the Raptors.

Sarr did not play in Wednesday’s loss to the Timberwolves, with Marvin Bagley replacing him in the starting lineup. However, with Bagley (hip) doubtful for Friday night, Sarr’s availability is even more critical. If both players are unavailable, the Wizards will have to rely on a rotation of Tristan Vukčević and Anthony Gill.

Marvin Bagley (hip) is doubtful for Friday’s game against the Raptors.

Filling in for the injured Alex Sarr, Bagley played 31 minutes in Wednesday’s loss to the Timberwolves. However, he landed hard on his hip while attempting to grab a rebound, which led to Bagley’s appearance on the injury report. With Sarr questionable for Friday’s game, Tristan Vukčević will figure more prominently in the Wizards’ rotation. He is only worth streaming if Sarr and Bagley can’t play.

Bilal Coulibaly accumulated 13 points (5-of-6 FGs, 1-of-1 FTs), four rebounds, four assists, two blocks and two three-pointers.

After totaling seven points on 2-of-11 shooting in his prior two appearances, Coulibaly needed a night like Wednesday. He only missed one shot from the field, and the final stat line was only lacking in the steals category. Coulibaly’s inconsistent offense is what holds him back in fantasy, as he’s only shooting 42 percent from the field. However, he’s shot 58.3 percent from the field over the past two weeks, which is why he’s been a third-round player during this stretch.

Marvin Bagley finished Wednesday’s loss to the Timberwolves with 13 points (6-of-11 FGs, 1-of-2 FTs), seven rebounds, three assists, three steals and one blocked shot.

With Alex Sarr (toe) out, Bagley made his first start of the season on Wednesday. He had a good night, shooting over 50 percent from the field and recording a near-complete stat line. Bagley is only rostered in one percent of Yahoo! leagues, so there weren’t many managers willing to roll the dice. However, he’ll be worth a look in deep leagues if Sarr misses more time. Tristan Vukčević served as the backup center on Wednesday, finishing with seven points, five rebounds, one assist and one three-pointer in 20 minutes.

Kyshawn George accounted for 23 points (8-of-17 FGs, 3-of-5 FTs), seven rebounds, seven assists, one steal, one block and four three-pointers in Wednesday’s loss to the Timberwolves.

George continues to flourish, most recently doing so on a night when the Wizards were without Alex Sarr. The second-year wing has scored at least 20 points on five occasions this season, including each of his last two appearances. In fantasy basketball, only Sarr has been more valuable than George among Wizards players thus far. Given how well Kyshawn has played, that’s unlikely to change anytime soon.

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.

CJ McCollum, Bilal Coulibaly, Kyshawn George, Khris Middleton and Marvin Bagley will start Wednesday’s game against the Timberwolves.

The Wizards will be without their most productive player on Wednesday, as Alex Sarr is out with a toe injury. He’ll be replaced in the lineup by Bagley, who should be streamed in deep leagues. Washington’s other four starters are unchanged.

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.

Alex Sarr (toe) is out for Wednesday’s game against the Timberwolves.

Wednesday’s absence will be the first of the season for Sarr, who has been a fantasy standout so far. His absence frees up minutes for Marvin Bagley and Tristan Vukčević, with the former likely to replace Sarr in the starting lineup. While this is a difficult matchup, Bagley will be worth streaming in deep leagues.

Alex Sarr (toe) is questionable to play against the Timberwolves on Wednesday.

Sarr may miss a game for the first time this season, which would open up the starting spot at center. Tristan Vukcevic and Marvin Bagley will be tasked with filling out the minutes. One will start, but neither will be great streaming options.

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.

Kyshawn George recorded 29 points (9-of-16 FGs, 6-of-7 FTs), six rebounds and five assists over 31 minutes in Sunday’s loss to the Nets.

George knocked down five of 10 attempts from beyond the arc, finishing just shy of his second 30-point outing of the season. It was an impressive individual showing, but it wasn’t enough to keep Washington from dropping its 11th straight game, falling to 1-12 on the year. The 21-year-old has averaged 19.7 points over his last three contests, performing at roughly a fifth-round level for fantasy purposes during that stretch. The Wizards will attempt to turn things around this week when they face the Timberwolves, Raptors and Bulls in road tilts.

CJ McCollum tallied 17 points (6-of-12 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), two rebounds, three assists and two steals over 32 minutes in Sunday’s loss to the Nets.

There simply weren’t a ton of bright spots for the Wizards in this one as McCollum was one of just three Wizards in double figures during a one-sided defeat at the hands of the rebuilding Nets. The veteran point guard has scored just 27 points combined over his past two games after exploding for 42 points against the Pistons earlier this week.

CJ McCollum, Bilal Coulibaly, Kyshawn George, Khris Middleton and Alex Sarr will start Sunday’s game against the Nets.

Coulibaly is available after missing four games with a calf injury, which means Johnson will come off the bench. While the rookie will remain in the rotation, his fantasy ceiling takes a significant hit in the short term. The other four starters are unchanged.

Bilal Coulibaly (calf) is available for Sunday’s game against the Nets.

After a four-game absence, Coulibaly is available to play. Rookie Tre Johnson is the player most likely to move to the bench if Coulibaly starts, although Khris Middleton may also be a candidate. Nothing has been announced regarding a minutes restriction for Bilal; that may be used as a reason to bring him off the bench if one is in place.

Bilal Coulibaly (calf) is questionable to play against the Nets on Sunday.

Coulibaly has missed Washington’s last four games, but there is a chance he returns to take on Brooklyn. Tre Johnson has been starting since Coulibaly went down, and he could be pushed back to a reserve role if Coulibaly returns, though Khris Middleton is also a candidate to come off the bench. There is also a chance Coulibaly doesn’t start, though that hasn’t happened since he was a rookie.

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.

Kyshawn George produced 16 points (7-of-17 FGs), seven rebounds, nine assists, two steals, one block and two three-pointers in Wednesday’s loss to the Rockets.

While George didn’t produce the best field-goal percentage on Wednesday, fantasy managers will undoubtedly take the rebounds, assists and steals. The nine assists were a career-high for the second-year wing, who is ranked just outside the top-50 in eight-cat formats. While some pinpointed George as a potential breakout candidate during the offseason, few expected him to be as valuable as he’s been thus far.

Alex Sarr recorded 25 points (10-of-15 FGs, 3-of-5 FTs), 11 rebounds, four assists, one block and two three-pointers in Wednesday’s loss to the Rockets.

Sarr finished Wednesday’s defeat with his second consecutive double-double and fourth of the season. The second-year center has also scored 20 points or more in five games, as he continues to exceed the expectations of most fantasy managers. Sarr is providing second-round value in eight-cat formats, well ahead of his Yahoo! ADP (83). About the only thing that would derail Sarr at this point would be an injury. With the Wizards rebuilding, his playing time will be secure for the entire season.

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.

Kevin Durant accounted for 23 points (7-of-16 FGs, 7-of-8 FTs), five rebounds, four assists, two steals and two three-pointers in Wednesday’s win over the Wizards.

The Rockets grabbed control of Wednesday’s game early, scoring 40 points in the first quarter and 41 in the second. That may have limited Durant’s output, as he only needed to play 31 minutes. He’s failed to score at least 20 points in a game just twice this season, providing the consistent production the Rockets hoped to receive when they acquired the future Hall of Famer from the Suns during the offseason. Houston hosts Portland on Friday in an NBA Cup group play matchup.

Bilal Coulibaly (calf) is out for Wednesday’s game against the Pelicans.

Wednesday’s game will be the fourth that Coulibaly has missed with a left calf contusion. Rookie Tre Johnson has been the replacement in the starting lineup, and he’s worth a look in deep leagues. Johnson will be most valuable later in the season, especially if the Wizards were to move a veteran at the trade deadline.

CJ McCollum had 42 points (14-of-26 FGs, 9-of-11 FTs), six rebounds, four assists, one steal and five three-pointers against the Pistons on Monday.

McCollum had scored 25 points in each of his last two games enter play Monday and then proceeded to drop 42 points on the Pistons. The 34-year-old shooting guard has made at least five three-pointers in two of his last three games. His recent scoring is a terrific sign that he’s started to turn it around after averaging 14.3 points per game so far this season.

Tre Johnson, C.J. McCollum, Kyshawn George, Khris Middleton and Alex Sarr will start Monday’s game against the Pistons.

Since it was Washington’s second game in as many nights, Middleton did not play in Saturday’s loss to the Mavericks. His return means Justin Champagnie will head back to the bench, where he isn’t worth the risk in any fantasy leagues. Johnson will make his third start as the Wizards remain without Bilal Coulibaly.

Reed Sheppard recorded 16 points (6-of-10 FGs), two assists, four steals, one block and four three-pointers in Sunday’s win over the Bucks.

While Sheppard got off to an inconsistent start on the offensive end of the floor, he’s picked up the production recently. The second-year guard has reached double figures in three straight games, and he’s recorded seven steals during this stretch. Sheppard’s four steals on Sunday were a career-high, surpassing the three he recorded in an October 25 loss to the Pistons. While he still isn’t at the point where he has to be rostered in 12-team leagues, Sheppard is a player to watch for the back end of Week 4, as Houston doesn’t play again until Wednesday.

Alperen Şengün amassed 23 points (10-of-15 FGs, 2-of-3 FTs), 11 rebounds, seven assists and one three-pointer in Sunday’s win over the Bucks.

With his streak of three straight games with a double-double ending in Friday’s loss to the Spurs, Şengün got to work on another streak Sunday afternoon. Of the five double-doubles he has recorded this season, the Rockets center has scored at least 20 points in four. He and Kevin Durant have worked well alongside each other, with both ranked safely within the top-50 in eight-cat formats. The Rockets begin a three-game Week 4 on Wednesday against the Wizards.

Kevin Durant tallied 31 points (11-of-15 FGs, 7-of-9 FTs), three rebounds, seven assists and two three-pointers in Sunday’s win over the Bucks.

Durant produced an offensive masterclass on Sunday, missing only four shots from the field and recording his third 30-point game of the season. And this comes on the heels of a three-game run that was anything but the norm for Durant. During that stretch, he averaged 18.7 points per game while shooting 35.2 percent from the field. It’s safe to say that Durant is back on track ahead of Houston’s three-game Week 4, and the Rockets don’t play again until Wednesday.

Khris Middleton (rest) is not on the injury report for Monday’s game against the Pistons.

Middleton is back after sitting out Saturday’s loss to the Mavericks for injury management reasons. His return means Justin Champagnie will head back to the bench, losing his streaming value in the process.

Bilal Coulibaly (calf) is out for Monday’s game against the Pistons.

Coulibaly will miss a third straight game as he recovers from a left calf contusion suffered during Washington’s November 5 loss to the Celtics. Rookie Tre Johnson has replaced him in the starting lineup and should retain that role, making him a player worth considering in deep leagues.

Alex Sarr posted a full line on Saturday with 17 points (6-of-16 FGs), six rebounds, five assists, two steals and three blocks against the Mavericks.

Sarr came up big for Washington in this game and was able to turn in a strong line across the board. Overall this season, his rebounding has been improved, but the last two games have been rough in that department; he matched his season-low for boards in this one. Still, this has been an excellent start to Sarr’s second season in the league, and he’ll look to keep it going in Detroit on Monday.

Cam Whitmore provided a boost off the bench with 19 points (7-of-13 FGs), three rebounds and three three-pointers against the Mavericks on Saturday.

Since scoring 14 points in the season opener, Whitmore has only scored in double figures once and hasn’t played a significant role. However, he was able to contribute off the bench in this game and set a new season-high for points. Still, outside of the buckets, he only contributed three boards. That’s it. Whitmore is a talented scorer, but until he is able to contribute in other areas, his upside and minutes will both be limited.

CJ McCollum led the Wizards with 25 points (9-of-19 FGs), six rebounds, two assists, two steals, two blocks and two three-pointers in a 111-105 loss to the Mavericks on Saturday.

It was a tale of two halves for McCollum. He got off to a scorching hot start to this game, scoring 23 points in the first half alone. That came after he had a season-high 25 points on Friday. He only scored two points after the break, and he wasn’t able to help the Wizards end their losing streak. Still, this two-game stretch was great to see from McCollum after he scored a total of eight points over the two previous games.

CJ McCollum, Tre Johnson, Kyshawn George, Justin Champagnie and Alex Sarr against the Mavericks on Saturday.

George is back, but Khris Middleton is out, so those two wings will swap spots. The change is Champagnie replacing Bub Carrington, who will still play a large role off the bench. Johnson will get his second straight start after starting for the first time in his career on Friday.

Kyshawn George (illness) is available to play against the Mavericks on Saturday.

George will be back after missing Friday’s game against Cleveland. Both Bub Carrington and Tre Johnson started with George and Bilal Coulibaly (leg) out. Coulibaly is still out, so only one of Carrington and Johnson will remain in the starting lineup, though both should play big minutes.

Khris Middleton (injury management) is out for Saturday’s game against the Mavericks.

Middleton had four points in 22 minutes in the loss to the Cavaliers on Friday, but he’ll sit out the second game of the back-to-back. The 34-year-old small forward’s absence won’t impact fantasy basketball as much as it’ll impact the Wizards’ overall depth with Bilal Coulibaly (leg) out and Kyshawn George (illness) questionable.

Kyshawn George (illness) is questionable for Saturday’s game against the Mavericks.

George missed Friday’s game against the Cavaliers with an illness and his questionable listing has his status up in the air for Saturday. Bub Carrington and Tre Johnson could end up playing a lot if George is ultimately ruled out in addition to Bilal Coulibaly (leg), who is set to miss another game.

Bilal Coulibaly (leg) is out for Saturday’s game against the Mavericks.

Coulibaly left Wednesday’s game against the Celtics with a leg injury and then missed Friday’s game against the Cavaliers. The 21-year-old shooting guard is set to miss another game Saturday against the Mavericks. Bub Carrington and Tre Johnson will continue to pick up minutes in his absence.

Kevin Durant tallied 24 points (8-of-18 FGs, 7-of-7 FTs), one rebound, two assists, one steal and one three-pointer against the Spurs on Friday.

Durant added another 20-point game to his collection, marking the sixth time he’s done so as a Houston Rocket. As he often does, the two-time Finals MVP thrived as a scorer at all three levels and also found production at the free-throw line. However, he committed a season-high eight turnovers and totaled his fewest rebounds of the season. Durant lacked the all-around production on Friday, but he will have a chance to have a more balanced performance on Sunday against the Bucks.

Alperen Sengun amassed 25 points (10-of-22 FGs, 4-of-5 FTs), nine rebounds, eight assists, one steal, one block and one three-pointer on Friday against the Spurs.

Sengun had another balanced performance on Friday against the Spurs, which was good enough to nearly collect a triple-double. Such well-rounded stat lines are the new normal for Sengun in his fifth NBA season, having firmly placed himself on the short list of upper-echelon centers. Inefficient shooting from beyond the arc ultimately led to him falling short of his scoring average and prevented him from achieving an even more dominant final stat line. Still, Sengun logged another solid game overall.

Reed Sheppard finished Friday’s 16 points (6-of-10 FGs), six assists, one steal and four three-pointers in Friday’s loss to the Spurs.

Sheppard set a new season-high in points and logged his second double-digit scoring performance in a row, again using the three-point shot to his advantage on Friday. His best moments came during the second quarter, when he led the Rockets in scoring, tallying eight points and a pair of triples. The second-year guard has seen increased opportunities early in this season and is taking advantage of them. He’s not an impactful fantasy player yet, but he could potentially become one if he remains on this upward trajectory.

Alex Sarr tallied 20 points (10-of-17 FGs, 0-of-2 FTs), four rebounds, four assists, one steal and four blocked shots in Friday’s loss to the Cavaliers.

Unsurprisingly, Sarr struggled on the glass against Cleveland’s tandem of Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen. However, the second-year center shot over 50 percent from the field and recorded four blocks, continuing to make strides on both ends of the floor. Sarr’s start to the season has been very encouraging, but there’s still room for improvement. Can he be a top-50 fantasy player for the entire season? Yes. But, for those who don’t believe in Sarr that much, now would be a good time to see what selling high can fetch on the trade market.

CJ McCollum shot 8-of-16 from the field and 3-of-4 from the foul line in Friday’s loss to the Cavaliers, scoring 25 points with two rebounds, three assists, one steal and six three-pointers.

Having shot 3-of-19 from the field and 1-of-10 from three in his two previous games, McCollum was looking to snap out of that funk. Mission accomplished, as he shot 50 percent from the field and led the Wizards in scoring. Thirteen of his 16 shot attempts were from beyond the arc, and he has a three-point attempt rate of nearly 55 percent through nine games. When the shots are falling at a solid clip, as they were on Friday, that’s a nice deal for those who have McCollum rostered.

Steve Adams (hip) will play against the Spurs on Friday.

Adams will rejoin the Rockets’ rotation after a one-game absence due to a hip injury. He’ll remain off the bench for the fifth straight game following his initial inclusion in the starting lineup to begin the season. The veteran is averaging 6.5 points, 9.5 rebounds, 0.7 blocks and 1.0 steals per game through six regular-season appearances.

Steven Adams (hip) is questionable to play against the Spurs on Friday.

After missing the Rockets’ last game with a hip injury, Adams is in danger of missing another. Clint Capela had 10 rebounds in 16 minutes off the bench on Wednesday and should fill the backup center minutes again if Adams remains out.

Alperen Sengun had 20 points (6-of-14 FGs, 8-of-10 FTs), 16 rebounds, seven assists, one steal and one block against the Grizzlies on Wednesday.

Sengun has now recorded a double-double in three consecutive games. While the 23-year-old plays the center position, he gets a good amount of assists and is currently on pace for a career-high in assists with Fred VanVleet (knee) out this year. Sengun had a second-round ADP this draft season and he’s certainly living up to it so far this season.

Amen Thompson had 28 points (13-of-26 FGs, 1-of-1 FTs), 10 rebounds, seven assists, two steals and one three-pointer in the Rockets’ 124-109 victory over the Grizzlies on Wednesday.

Thompson stayed hot on the offensive end as the Rockets won their fifth game in a row against the Grizzlies on Wednesday. The 22-year-old point guard followed up his 27-point effort on Monday with 28 points on Wednesday. Thompson is one of the best rebounding guards in the league and has had at least seven assists in four of his last five games. If his scoring keeps up, he could have a monster season with Fred VanVleet (knee) likely to miss the entire year.
