  • Rockets' Amen Thompson: Logs 11 points in Rising Stars

    Thompson tallied 11 points (5-6 FG, 1-1 FT), two assists and two rebounds over 11:47 of court time during Team M's 40-39 loss to Team G League in the Rising Stars semifinal.

    It was a disappointing loss for Team M, but Thompson did his part in leading the team in scoring. He has been an everyday starter for the Rockets since the beginning of January due to the absence of Jabari Smith (hand). Over that span, Thompson has averaged 16.5 points on 52.7 percent shooting, 8.7 rebounds, 5.4 assists, 1.9 steals and 1.6 blocks over 38.4 minutes per game. Smith has been increasing his activity as of late and is expected to return after the All-Star break, but he could serve in a bench role when he comes back while Thompson remains in Houston's starting five.

  • Rockets' Reed Sheppard: Muted impact in loss

    Sheppard chipped in no counting stats over five minutes during Thursday's 105-98 loss to the Warriors.

    Sheppard has played in Houston's last eight contests but has scored double-digit points just once over that span. Across those eight appearances, Sheppard averaged 4.4 points and 2.0 rebounds in 13.0 minutes.

  • Rockets' Cam Whitmore: Struggles in loss

    Whitmore totaled six points (2-7 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), one rebound, one assist and one steal in 10 minutes during Thursday's 105-98 loss to Golden State.

    After logging at least 20 minutes of action in each of his last six outings, Whitmore's 10 minutes played were his fewest since Jan. 25. The second-year forward is struggling with his outside shot as of late, converting just 28.9 percent of his 4.5 three-point attempts per contest over his previous 10 appearances.

  • Rockets' Jock Landale: Misses out on double-double

    Landale closed with 13 points (6-9 FG, 1-2 3Pt), eight rebounds, one assist and one steal in 16 minutes during Thursday's 105-98 loss to the Warriors.

    Despite Steven Adams playing Thursday, Landale was able to secure the majority of Houston's backup center minutes against Golden State. Although Landale continues to receive inconsistent playing time, he has scored double-digit points in each of his last three outings.

  • Rockets' Jae'Sean Tate: Makes positive impact off bench

    Tate recorded three points (1-5 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 0-2 FT), five rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal in 27 minutes during Thursday's 105-98 loss to the Warriors.

    Despite not producing eye-popping counting stats, Tate posted a plus-11 point differential in Thursday's loss. Tate continues to be one of Houston's primary bench options and is averaging 4.5 points, 2.2 rebounds and 1.4 assists in 15.4 minutes across his last 10 appearances.

  • Rockets' Dillon Brooks: Playing time cut short in loss

    Brooks posted seven points (2-6 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT) and one assist over 21 minutes during Thursday's 105-98 loss to Golden State.

    Brooks' 21 minutes logged were his fewest in a game since Jan. 7, as Jae'Sean Tate received 27 minutes of action off the bench. However, Brooks still continued to hot shooting from behind the arc, converting 41.0 percent of his 6.1 three-point attempts per contest over his last 10 outings.

  • Rockets' Alperen Sengun: Double-double despite early exit

    Sengun amassed 10 points (4-10 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-4 FT), 13 rebounds, four assists and one steal in 27 minutes during Thursday's 105-98 loss to the Warriors.

    While the fourth-year center did contribute his 32nd double-double of the season, Sengun was one of the Rocket starters benched by coach Ime Udoka for the entire fourth quarter in an effort to generate a comeback from a 12-point deficit. Not counting a Feb. 9 game in which he played only three minutes due to back trouble, Sengun heads into the All-Star break averaging 19.4 points, 12.8 boards, 4.6 assists and 1.0 steals over his last five contests.

  • Rockets' Nate Williams: Productive off bench Thursday

    Williams contributed 11 points (5-9 FG, 1-3 3Pt), two rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal over 18 minutes off the bench during Thursday's 105-98 loss to the Warriors.

    The 26-year-old guard saw his biggest workload of the season as Houston coach Ime Udoka benched Dillon Brooks and Jalen Green for the entire fourth quarter in an effort to spark his sluggish squad. Williams delivered a solid all-around performance, but his path to consistent minutes will get even narrower with Fred VanVleet (ankle) expected back in the lineup after the All-Star break.

  • Rockets' Aaron Holiday: Pops for team-high 25 in loss

    Holiday recorded 25 points (10-20 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 3-3 FT), eight rebounds, four assists and one steal across 37 minutes during Thursday's 105-98 loss to the Warriors.

    The 28-year-old guard led Houston in scoring on the night while setting new season highs in minutes, points and boards. Holiday got the start Thursday for the second time in the last three games, but he didn't see the court at all in Wednesday's contest, and his recent spike in playing time has come while Fred VanVleet (ankle) has been sidelined. With VanVleet potentially set to return after the All-Star break, Holiday figures to move back into a depth backcourt role.

  • Rockets' Aaron Holiday: Getting run with starters

    Holiday will start Thursday's game against the Warriors, Lachard Binkley of SI.com reports.

    Holiday fell out of the team's rotation Wednesday against Phoenix, but he's going to see more playing time Thursday after he was announced in the starting lineup. The UCLA product also made a start Sunday, finishing with six points, four rebounds, three assists and one steal over 27 minutes.

  • Rockets' Steven Adams: Left off injury report

    Despite a previous report, Adams (ankle) isn't on the injury report for Thursday's game versus the Warriors.

    Although Adams was expected to sit out Thursday due to a lingering ankle issue, it appears that the veteran big man is set to play both legs of Houston's back-to-back. Adams is averaging 6.0 points and 7.8 rebounds in 19.2 minutes across his previous five appearances.

  • Rockets' Cody Zeller: Still sidelined Thursday

    Zeller (not with team) is out for Thursday's game versus the Warriors.

    Zeller's absence shouldn't come as a surprise, as he has yet to play for the Hawks or Rockets this season. However, it seems unlikely that the veteran big man will join his teammates for Houston's next game against Minnesota on Feb. 21.

  • Rockets' Jalen Green: Scores 22 points in win

    Green racked up 22 points (8-21 FG, 4-15 3Pt, 2-3 FT), five assists, three rebounds and one block in 37 minutes during Wednesday's 119-111 win over the Suns.

    The fourth-year guard struggled with efficiency from three-point range in the victory, though he did finish as the club's second-leading scorer behind Tari Eason (25 points). Green has scored 20 or more points in 31 of his 54 regular-season appearances this year. Moreover, he is on pace to shoot a career-high 34.8 percent from beyond the arc. Green has scored 20-plus points in three of his last five games, during which he has averaged 21.0 points, 4.8 rebounds, 4.8 assists and 3.0 three-pointers across 36.6 minutes per contest.

  • Rockets' Alperen Sengun: Double-doubles in win

    Sengun amassed 17 points (7-12 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 3-6 FT), 13 rebounds, five assists, two steals and one block over 38 minutes during Wednesday's 119-111 win over Phoenix.

    Sengun left Sunday's win over the Raptors early due to a lumbar spasm, though he returned to game action against Phoenix on Wednesday and posted a game-high 13 rebounds. Additionally, the All-Star center logged his 31st outing with a double-double or better through 51 regular-season games. Over his last five appearances with double-digit playing time, Sengun has averaged 21.0 points, 12.2 rebounds, 4.2 assists and 1.0 steals across 34.6 minutes per contest.

  • Rockets' Amen Thompson: Does it all in win

    Thompson chipped in 18 points (7-13 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 4-7 FT), 11 assists, 10 rebounds, two blocks and two steals across 41 minutes during Wednesday's 119-111 victory over the Suns.

    Thompson stuffed the stat sheet en route to his third triple-double of the season Wednesday. Additionally, the 22-year-old also logged multiple steals and blocks for the eighth time through 51 regular-season outings. The second-year pro has started in each of his last 19 appearances, averaging 17.2 points, 9.7 rebounds, 5.4 assists, 2.1 steals and 1.5 blocks across 38.8 minutes per contest. He has shot 53.4 percent from the field in that 19-game span.

  • Rockets' Tari Eason: Won't play Thursday

    Eason won't play in Thursday's game against Golden State due to left lower leg injury management, Ben DuBose of USA Today reports.

    Since returning Jan. 16 from a 13-game absence due to the lower leg injury, Eason hasn't played in both ends of back-to-back sets, so his absence Thursday comes as little surprise. Eason started in Wednesday's 119-111 win over Phoenix and logged 25 points (11-16 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 0-1 FT), nine rebounds, four assists and three steals across 34 minutes.
