Tari Eason - Questionable to play Sunday Eason (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against New Orleans.
Impact Eason has missed the Rockets' last four games due to a right ankle sprain, but the fourth-year pro has an opportunity to return for Sunday's contest. His return would likely result in Josh Okogie reverting to the bench. Across his eight outings prior to his injury, Eason averaged 12.8 points, 7.5 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 1.8 threes, 1.8 steals and 0.9 blocks over 26.1 minutes per game.

Rockets vs. Pelicans Prediction, Odds, Picks - Jan. 18
Jae'Sean Tate - Sticks in rotation Friday Tate amassed four points (2-2 FG), three rebounds and one steal in 11 minutes during Friday's 110-105 win over the Timberwolves.
Impact Tate suited up for the third straight game, albeit for a brief appearance only. Tate has been a non-factor thus far this season, averaging 2.7 points in 7.7 minutes across his 24 appearances, leaving him outside the top 400 in standard formats.

Josh Okogie - Starting role yields very little Okogie contributed one point (0-4 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds and one steal over 33 minutes during Friday's 110-105 victory over Minnesota.
Impact Okogie remained in the starting lineup, logging a season-high 33 minutes in the process. While the playing time was certainly encouraging, the same can't be said for his production. With Tari Eason on the verge of returning from an ankle injury, Okogie will likely shift back to a bench role in the near future. Even as a starter, he holds no value in fantasy, outside of the deepest formats.

Jabari Smith Jr. - Goes 3-for-12 from field Smith closed with nine points (3-12 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-5 FT), five rebounds, two assists and three blocks across 38 minutes during Friday's 110-105 win over the Timberwolves.
Impact Smith struggled with his shot in the win, scrapping his way to just nine points. Coming off one of his best performances of the season, Friday's effort was a letdown for fantasy managers. Despite playing 34.7 minutes per game this season, Smith has not been able to take his game to the next level, averaging 15.0 points, 6.9 rebounds and 2.1 three-pointers.

Kevin Durant's season-high 39 points and clutch free throws lift Rockets over Timberwolves

Kevin Durant scored 39 points and made a season-best six 3-pointers to lead the Houston Rockets to a 110-105 win over the Minnesota Timberwolves
1 DAY AGO • Associated Press
Kevin Durant - Scores season-high 39 points in win Durant finished Friday's 110-105 win over the Timberwolves with 39 points (11-18 FG, 6-8 3Pt, 11-14 FT), seven assists, four rebounds, two steals and one block across 40 minutes.
Impact Durant caught fire from beyond the arc and tied Julius Randle for the game-best mark in points, though it was the former who led his team to a win. Durant's 39 points set a new season high, and he has reached the 30-point threshold in 14 of his 37 regular-season appearances. The superstar also led the Rockets in assists, dishing out at least seven dimes for the third time this month. Additionally, the veteran forward matched the game high in steals and has recorded multiple swipes in back-to-back appearances for just the second time this season.

Tari Eason - Ruled out for Friday Eason (ankle) won't play Friday versus the Timberwolves.
Impact Eason is set to miss his fourth consecutive game, but he does appear to be getting close, as Friday was the first time he'd received the "questionable" tag since going down with the ankle injury. His next chance to play will come Sunday against the Pelicans, and for now, he should be considered questionable for that one.

Steven Adams - Omitted from injury report Adams (rest) is not on the injury report for Friday's game against Minnesota.
Impact The veteran center's omission is worth noting, as he tends to sit out one half of back-to-back sets. Adams is slated to appear in two games in as many days for the first time this season, meaning Clint Capela may not see the floor at all Friday.

Dorian Finney-Smith - Cleared from injury report Finney-Smith (ankle) is off the injury report for Friday's game against Minnesota.
Impact Finney-Smith is set to be available for the second leg of Houston's back-to-back. The veteran forward's presence is likely to result in fewer minutes for Josh Okogie and JD Davison on Friday.

Tari Eason - Questionable with ankle sprain Eason is questionable for Friday's game against Minnesota with a right ankle sprain.
Impact Eason is looking to end a three-game absence with the injury. If the forward remains sidelined, more playing time would be available to Dorian Finley-Smith and Josh Okogie in the frontcourt.
