On a night when their starting backcourt of Amen Thompson and Josh Okogie combined to score 15 points, the Rockets received solid contributions from Holiday and Reed Sheppard (12/2/3 with two three-pointers) off the bench. The 19 points were the second-most in a game this season for Holiday, who has reached double figures in six of his last seven appearances. However, his fantasy value remains extremely low. The recent run does not change the fact that managers should leave Holiday on the waiver wire.

Smith took advantage of Alperen Şengün’s absence due to an illness, recording a complete stat line while shooting better than 50 percent from the field. While he has reached double figures in scoring in 13 straight games, Saturday’s defeat was the third in which Smith scored at least 20 points. While he is providing top-100 value, Smith has a limited ceiling due to the presence of Şengün and Kevin Durant.

Of the 71 points scored by Rockets starters, Durant and Jabari Smith Jr. were responsible for 49 of them. The limited production from the other starters was too much to overcome in Dallas, as Houston desperately missed Alperen Şengün (illness). Over the past two weeks, Durant has provided top-15 value in eight- and nine-cat formats. Houston plays once during Week 8, and they’ll have a total of five games in leagues that will combine Weeks 8 and 9 to account for the NBA Cup.

With Steven Adams already out, the Rockets will also be without Alperen Şengün on Saturday. As a result, Capela moves into the starting lineup and is worth a look in deep leagues out of necessity. The other four starters are unchanged.

Şengün will miss a second straight game, with Steven Adams replacing him in the starting lineup for Friday’s win over the Suns. However, with Adams also out, Clint Capela could move into the starting lineup on Saturday. He hasn’t affected fantasy basketball this season, but the chance to start may change that.

Sengun missed Friday’s game against the Suns with Steven Adams taking his place in the starting lineup. Adams is going to rest Saturday so Clint Capela will be in line for a rare start if Sengun is ultimately ruled out.

Smith Jr. tallied another double-digit scoring performance, marking his 18th in 19 games this season — he didn’t get many looks at the rim on Friday but made the most of his opportunities. There wasn’t much production elsewhere for the fourth-year forward against Phoenix, but it wasn’t needed in the lopsided win. He’ll have a chance to find more production on Saturday against Dallas.

Thompson put on a stellar display of basketball on the offensive end against the Suns. He made use of the charity stripe but also dominated inside the arc, making 11 two-point shots before reaching the 30-point mark for the first time all season. He led all scorers for the game and extended his streak of 20-point games to three. He’ll have a chance to secure another high-scoring outing against the Mavericks on Saturday.

Durant put on a very balanced performance on Friday in the first game of the season against his former team. He was accurate inside the arc, as well as beyond it, but also dished out a game-high in assists while being active on the defensive end. Arguably, the only blemish on the night for the two-time Finals MVP was the five turnovers he committed. He otherwise had a successful outing and continues to play well in his first season with the Rockets.

Şengün was downgraded from questionable to out ahead of Friday’s matchup with the Suns. The Rockets will instead start veteran center Steven Adams in place of Şengün as they look to secure a second win over Phoenix this season. Clint Capela should move to second on the depth chart at the center position for Friday’s game, which should allow more minutes than usual to find production.

With Alperen Şengün sidelined due to an illness, Adams will start in his place. Rockets coach Ime Udoka said that Adams will sit on Saturday against the Mavericks, so if Şengün remains out, Clint Capela could be in line for his first start of the season.

Sengun popped up as questionable with an illness on Friday afternoon ahead of the matchup against the Suns. The 23-year-old center’s status is up in air with mere hours to get over his illness. If Sengun is out, Steven Adams and Clint Capela will handle the center duties for the Rockets.

A 20-point scorer in two consecutive games for the third time this season, Thompson recorded his fourth double-double on Wednesday. Also, this was his first game with at least 20 points, 10 rebounds and seven assists since November 5 against the Grizzlies. While he still hasn’t reached the heights that many fantasy managers hoped he would before the season began, Thompson has been a top-50 player in eight-cat formats over the past two weeks.

In addition to scoring at least 24 points in each of his last three games, Durant dished out a season-high eight assists on Wednesday. Given his skill set, it’s unsurprising that the future Hall of Fame forward has fit in seamlessly with his new teammates. Durant may not be providing first-round fantasy value, but he’s been far from a slouch in his new home. Houston closes its Week 7 with a back-to-back against the Suns (Friday) and Mavericks (Sunday).

The Kings struggled to find an answer for Şengün, who recorded his 11th double-double of the season on Wednesday. For the season, the Rockets center is providing top-25 value in eight-cat formats, which aligns with his Yahoo! ADP (19). As long as Şengün stays healthy, those who have him rostered should be well-positioned to compete in their leagues throughout the season.

Okogie is back in the starting lineup for the first time in three games. He replaces Reed Sheppard, who can still provide solid fantasy value in a reserve role. Also, the Rockets will have Steven Adams to provide rebounds off the bench.

Adams missed Monday’s loss against the Jazz due to rest. The 32-year-old center will be back on the floor for Wednesday’s matchup with the Kings. Adams isn’t worth rostering in most fantasy leagues unless something happens to Alperen Sengun.

Adams was given the night off on Monday, sitting out the second game of a back-to-back in Utah. However, his absence did not result in significant minutes for fellow reserve Clint Capela, who played nine minutes. If Adams misses another game, there’s no need to consider adding Capela.

Thompson finished with at least 20 points for the third time in the last five games, with his production inside the arc being key on Monday. Despite the loss, his scoring was significantly higher than the five points he posted the night prior against the Jazz. Yet, Thompson didn’t have nearly the same level of success as a facilitator this time around. Nonetheless, the third-year guard had a solid performance overall and should be able to secure another against the Kings on Wednesday.

Sengün was fantastic in Monday’s loss, reaching the 30-point mark for the third time this season while providing much more production as a rebounder and facilitator than the previous night against the Jazz. And as if his near-triple-double wasn’t enough, the fifth-year center had his most dominant defensive performance of the season from a fantasy basketball standpoint, tallying seven stocks for the game. Sengün is likely to make a massive impact on the offensive end each time he takes the floor. If his defensive production can remain consistent, his floor and ceiling will rise even further in fantasy leagues.

Durant was one of two Rockets to pass the 30-point mark on Monday in Salt Lake City. He tallied as many free throws as he did made field goals in this game, with high volume allowing his inefficient shooting to make enough scoring production to lead Houston in points. The two-time Finals MVP also tied a season-high in rebounds to fall just shy of a double-double. His five turnovers were one of his limited weaknesses on the night. He’ll have a chance to put together another strong performance against the Kings on Wednesday.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Adams will be back in action after one game on the sideline. Expect him to handle his usual workload, while Clint Capela — who logged 18 minutes in Wednesday’s win over Golden State — should see his role reduced.

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.
