The Rockets are playing the second leg of a back-to-back set, and the veteran will sit out Monday’s rematch with Utah. With Adams out of action, Clint Capela should see additional run off the bench.

Dunn has missed the Suns’ last five games, but he is expected to be back to take on Los Angeles. When Dunn last played, he had been filling in as a starter for Grayson Allen, but Allen has since returned. Dunn will likely play a large reserve role. Nigel Hayes-Davis will likely lose minutes with Dunn back.

Adams only logged 17 minutes in this game, but that was enough time for him to record his third double-double of the season. He was able to dominate down low, but also at the free throw line, which is typically a weakness for him. Adams is shooting a career-best 73.3 percent from the line after shooting 46.2 percent last year and 36.4 percent the year before. He’ll only be worth consistently streaming when Alperen Şengün is unavailable, but this was a strong performance for him.
HOU • Center • #28

Şengün didn’t supply his typical dose of rebounds and dimes, but he was unstoppable as a scorer. He only played 28 minutes in the blowout win, so he could’ve had a better outing if the game was closer. Houston will remain in Utah to take on the Jazz once again on Monday, so Şengün should have no issues having another big scoring night.

Sheppard moved into the starting lineup with Kevin Durant (personal) unavailable for two games, but with KD back, Sheppard remained a starter, with Josh Okogie returning to the bench. Sheppard played 31 minutes in the blowout win, and while he didn’t do much scoring, he was able to make a big impact on this game. Assuming Sheppard remains a starter, he should be a reliable option in fantasy hoops for the remainder of the season, with potential to be one of the best late-round picks this year.
HOU • Forward • #35

Following a two-game absence, KD was able to get back on track after struggling in his last two appearances. He shot 11-of-33 across his last two games, but in this one, he shot above 70 percent for the third time this season. Durant will continue to be an elite fantasy basketball option, even if his numbers are slightly down from his typical output. Hopefully this efficient shooting night will help kickstart his offense and lead to a strong run. They’ll remain in Utah to take on the Jazz again on Monday.

Brooks has taken big strides as a scorer this season. He’s averaging career highs in points and field goal attempts while also enjoying the best field goal percentage of his career. His offensive growth has been pivotal in helping the Suns start 12-9 despite dealing with multiple injuries early on. Unfortunately for fantasy managers, Phoenix only has two games next week, which will limit how much Brooks can produce.

Allen missed the last seven games with a quad injury, but he was back in the lineup for this game. He immediately returned to the starting unit but only played 26 minutes, which will likely increase as he logs more games. His return bumped Collin Gillespie to the bench, though Gillespie still logged 29 minutes as a reserve. Gillespie clearly isn’t worth dropping, even if he is coming off the bench. As for Allen, it was good to see him back on the floor. His spot in the starting unit continues to be secure.

With Mark Williams (calf) sidelined for the second leg of the Suns’ back-to-back, Ighodaro slid into the starting unit. He also logged 32 minutes, while Nick Richards only saw seven minutes of game action. It wasn’t a monster game for Ighodaro, but he seems to currently be the No. 2 center option on the depth chart currently. If Williams were to miss an extended period of time, Ighodaro would be the pickup.

Allen is back in the lineup after missing just over two weeks with a quad contusion, with his return pushing Collin Gillespie to the bench. The other change to the Suns’ starting lineup is Ighodaro, who steps in for Mark Williams. With this being Phoenix’s second game in as many nights, the center rotation will consist of Ighodaro and Nick Richards.

Allen is set to make his first appearance since November 13. His return may result in Collin Gillespie moving to the bench, but the guard is worth holding onto since Jalen Green remains out. Allen should be rostered in standard leagues moving forward, as he was entrenched as a starter before the quad injury.

Williams will sit out the second leg of this back-to-back, which shouldn’t come as a surprise. That fact that he was at least questionable instead of being ruled out immediately could be seen as a positive sign. Oso Ighodaro and Nick Richards will fill out the center minutes with Williams unavailable.

Adams missed the Rockets’ most recent contest, a win over the Warriors on November 26. Due to his absence, Clint Capela played 18 minutes off the bench. While Capela did grab 12 rebounds, the role isn’t robust enough for him to be worth the risk in most fantasy leagues. Leave him on the waiver wire if Adams can’t play on Sunday.

KD missed two games, but he’ll be back to take on Utah to close out the week. Reed Sheppard started in his place and played really well. He should return to playing a reserve role, though there is certainly a chance he played well enough to maintain the starting spot. In that case, it would be Josh Okogie heading to the bench, though it is more likely that Sheppard returns to the sixth man role.

The Suns have four key players listed as questionable against the Nuggets on Saturday. That list includes Goodwin, who is somewhat of a stranger to the injury report compares to his teammates. With Goodwin, Grayson Allen and Ryan Dunn all questionable, Collin Gillespie is the obvious beneficiary and preferred streamer given the injury situation.

Dunn has missed the last four games with a sprained right wrist. The 22-year-old small forward’s status is up in the air against the Nuggets on Saturday given his questionable listing.

Williams’ status is up in the air for the second game of a back-to-back against the Nuggets on Saturday. The 23-year-old center has yet to play 30 minutes in a game this season, but that hasn’t stopped him from producing. Williams has totaled 34 points and 31 rebounds over his last two games. Oso Ighodaro would move into the starting lineup if Williams is ultimately ruled out.

For matchup purposes, Suns coach Jordan Ott ended up playing Oso Ighodaro for 22 minutes off the bench, which left 22 minutes for Williams and four for Nick Richards. Despite the lack of opportunity, Williams was able to dominate the glass, which can at least partially be attributed to the absence of Isaiah Hartenstein. This was a third straight double-double for Williams, who has still surpassed 30 minutes just one time this season.

Booker’s cold spell continued in this loss to OKC. This was the fifth straight game that Booker shot below 40 percent from the floor, which is surprising after he started off the year as hot as he did. They have ran into some tough defenses lately, though some of the rough performances have come against bad teams. Booker will look to get back on track against the Nuggets on Saturday, which will be the second leg of this back-to-back for Phoenix.

Gillespie continues to prove that he is a legitimate, reliable option for the Suns, and as this team gets healthy, head coach Jordan Ott is going to have some tough decisions to make. Gillespie has been starting in place of Grayson Allen (quad) and Jalen Green (hamstring) is still out as well. Gillespie has earned his place in the rotation, but there may not be enough minutes to go around. For now, he should be rostered everywhere, regardless of league format.

On a night in which Kevin Durant was unavailable, Sengun didn’t fully take advantage of the additional scoring opportunities left behind. He shot inefficiently from the field, didn’t make a three-pointer, and was hardly impactful on the glass. Still, Sengun came up with a big basket down the stretch and finished as the Rockets’ leader in assists. He’s been less productive over the past few games, but should remain as one of the top centers in fantasy leagues moving forward.

Smith Jr. finished Wednesday as one of the Rockets’ leading scorers despite not shooting a great percentage. He did have success from the three-point line, but wasn’t able to land much production elsewhere. Yet, even with an unspectacular Wednesday performance, the fourth-year forward is putting together his highest-scoring and most efficient three-point shooting season of his career. He’ll have a chance to log better numbers against the Jazz on Sunday.

After tallying just seven points in a win over the Suns on Monday, Sheppard responded on Wednesday with his third 20-point game of the month, and first 30-point game of his young career. He was productive from beyond the arc and dazzled in the midrange, which led him to finish as Houston’s leading scorer on the evening. He also made an impact with his rebounding and playmaking in the win. The sophomore guard continues to put together a strong season and should remain an important piece going forward.

Booker struggled with his shot on Wednesday, shooting 4-of-13 from inside the arc. The good news for fantasy managers is that he provided solid value in the rebound and assist categories. Over the past two weeks, Booker has shot 38.8 percent from the field, which is why he has not been a top-100 player during this period. The season-long value remains solid, but many hoped to receive first-round value from Booker, and it hasn’t happened just yet.

Back in the starting lineup after missing Monday’s win over the Rockets, Williams had his best game since joining the Suns this offseason. The 17 rebounds were a season-high for the 7-footer, who recorded his third 20-point double-double of the season. Due to his injury history, Williams’ availability remains a concern. However, the Suns have seemingly pushed all the right buttons so far, and fantasy managers have reaped the rewards.

Having provided solid fantasy value while coming off the bench, Gillespie was inserted into the Suns’ starting lineup on Wednesday. He had another excellent night, finishing with a season-high point total. Also, the nine assists were the most in a game for Gillespie since October 27, when he dished out a career-high 13. Jordan Goodwin (7/8/2/2/1 with one three-pointer) was solid off the bench, but his fantasy value takes a hit with Gillespie replacing him in the starting lineup.

After Jordan Goodwin moved into the starting lineup for the last two games with Ryan Dunn unavailable, Suns head coach Jordan Ott has made a change. Gillespie, who has been an excellent fantasy asset recently, replaces Goodwin in the starting lineup.

Nick Richards will rejoin the second unit.

Thompson took over as Houston’s primary offensive catalyst with Kevin Durant — averaging a team-high 24.6 points per game — out of the lineup for the first time this season due to personal reasons, propelling the Rockets to their 11th time in their last 13 contests. They were in complete control from the outset of this one as Thompson knocked down 10 of 16 shots from the floor while also chipping in eight assists and seven rebounds in a stat sheet-stuffing performance worthy of a Thanksgiving feast. The 22-year-old burgeoning superstar has been hot recently, averaging 20.7 points, 7.7 rebounds, 5.3 assists and 2.3 steals over his last three games, delivering second-round value for fantasy purposes during that stretch. The Rockets return to action on Wednesday night with a challenging road tilt against the Warriors.

Holiday drained six of 10 from beyond the arc while playing a season-high 27 minutes to provide a much-needed spark off the bench for a Rockets’ offense playing without Kevin Durant for the first time this season. The -year-old sharpshooter scored 12 of his 22 points in the first half to help lift Houston to a nine-point lead at the break which they wouldn’t relinquish.

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.

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.

With the Cavaliers boasting a bigger frontcourt than most teams, the Rockets have made a change to their starting lineup.
