Avoids injury report Wall doesn't appear on the Rockets' injury report and should be available for Monday's game against the Cavaliers, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Impact Heading into Sunday's game against the Grizzlies, Rockets head coach Stephen Silas suggested that Wall could be a candidate to sit Monday in the second half of the back-to-back set. With the Grizzlies turning Sunday's game into a runaway 133-84 victory, the Rockets were able to limit playing time for all of their starters, with Wall playing only 27 minutes in the contest. The lack of full minutes coupled with Wall's absence from the report means he should be in store for a normal workload Monday, provided the game proves more competitive than Sunday's.

Out with strained oblique Kurucs is listed as out for Monday's game against Cleveland due to a strained left oblique.

Impact Kurucs picked up the injury during Sunday night's embarrassing loss to the Grizzlies, which he finished with one rebound, two assists, a steal and a block in nine minutes off the bench. Beyond Monday night, consider the reserve big man day-to-day as the All-Star break approaches.

Questionable for Monday Gordon is listed as questionable for Monday's game against Cleveland due to a sore left knee.

Impact Gordon is coming off of a horrific shooting night (five points, 1-10 FG) in Sunday's 49-point loss to Memphis, and he's now listed on the team's initial injury report with soreness in his troublesome left knee. The hope is that he'll be able to play through it, but it wouldn't be a shock if the Rockets ultimately hold him out -- especially with Victor Oladipo set to return after resting Sunday.

Falls flat depite spot start Gordon tallied just five points (1-10 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT), two rebounds and two assists in 23 minutes during Sunday's 134-85 loss to Memphis.

Impact Gordon replaced Victor Oladipo (rest) in the starting lineup, although you wouldn't have known it to look at the boxscore. Outside of points and triples, Gordon basically offers nothing to fantasy GMs and so on nights like this, he is pretty much a waste of time.

Drops 14 points despite relegation Tate totaled 14 points (4-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 6-7 FT), four rebounds, one steal and one block in 24 minutes during Sunday's 134-85 loss to the Grizzlies.

Impact Tate moved back to the bench as the Rockets attempted to combat the size of the Grizzlies frontcourt. It clearly failed as the Rockets were thumped and so perhaps Tate moves back into the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Cavaliers. He has been a sneaky addition for the Rockets and despite a couple of bumps in the road, he is deserving of a roster spot in standard formats.

Blocks two shots in starting role Patton had 10 points (4-6 FG, 2-4 3Pt), five rebounds and two blocks in 26 minutes during Sunday's 134-85 loss to the Grizzlies.

Impact Patton shifted into the starting lineup, presumably as a means of matching up with the size of the Grizzlies. All-in-all, we would have to say that it didn't work given the team was defeated by almost 50 points. Despite being the only active center on the roster, his role is far too unstable to warrant a roster spot in 12-team leagues.

Starting for Oladipo Gordon will be in the starting five for Sunday's game against Memphis, Cayleigh Griffin of ATT SportsNet reports.

Impact With Victor Oladipo resting again, Gordon will move back into the starting lineup at one guard spot alongside John Wall. Gordon has already averaged 33 minutes per game off the bench in his last two appearances, so the change in role likely won't have a major impact on his overall workload.

Set to start Sunday Patton will be in the starting five for Sunday's game against Memphis, Cayleigh Griffin of ATT SportsNet reports.

Impact The journeyman signed a two-way deal with the Rockets just over a week ago, and this will be his first start in a Houston uniform. In three appearances off the bench thus far, Patton has totaled 15 points, seven rebounds and five blocks in 43 minutes. He could be set for a slight increase in minutes Sunday, though Patton remains a fairly risky DFS play, even at his low salary.

Not starting Sunday Tate isn't starting Sunday's game against the Grizzlies, Craig Ackerman of AT&T SportsNet Southwest reports.

Still in walking boot Exum (calf) remains in a walking boot and is without a firm timetable to return, Ben DuBose of USA Today reports.

Impact The oft-injured guard hasn't played since early January, back when he was member of the Cavs, and coach Stephen Silas didn't sound optimistic that he'll be available anytime soon. With the All-Star break approaching, 2020-21 is shaping up to be another season mostly lost to injury for Exum.

To play Sunday, could sit Monday Wall will play in Sunday's game against the Grizzlies, but coach Stephen Silas said he's yet to decide on the point guard's status for Monday's game against the Cavs, Jonathan Feig...

Impact The Rockets have understandably been cautious with Wall, who's yet to play in both halves of any back-to-backs this season. It looks like he may have a chance to change that Monday, but the team will likely wait to see how he responds in the wake of Sunday's contest. Over the last eight games, Wall is averaging 22.6 points, 7.1 assists and 3.0 rebounds in 33.1 minutes.
