Clint Capela - Non-factor in win Capela had two points (1-1 FG) and two rebounds across five minutes during Tuesday's 119-113 victory over the Bulls.

Impact With Steven Adams and Alperen Sengun now healthy, Capela's role has disappeared, having played no more than 12 minutes in four straight games. He is the clear third option at this point, meaning he can be safely ignored in just about every fantasy format.

Reed Sheppard - Limited role continues Sheppard produced eight points (3-8 FG, 2-5 3Pt), one rebound and one assist over 22 minutes during Tuesday's 119-113 victory over the Bulls.

Impact Sheppard scored single digits for the fourth time in the past six games, continuing to play a limited role off the bench. Despite the fact that Tari Eason is dealing with an ankle injury, it appears as though Ime Udoka is looking for any excuse not to play Sheppard, even going with JD Davison down the stretch. While the upside is clear, the time may have come to part ways with Sheppard in certain situations.

JD Davison - Season-high 25 minutes Davison racked up nine points (3-6 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-3 FT), seven rebounds, four assists and one block across 25 minutes during Tuesday's 119-113 win over the Bulls.

Impact Davison was thrust into the rotation, logging a season-high 25 minutes after failing to see the floor during the previous five games. This was likely a simple case of being in the right place at the right time, with head coach Ime Udoka leaving him out there down the stretch. It is a situation to monitor, but managers shouldn't overreact based on one outlier performance.

Durant's 28 points, Sengun's double-double lead Rockets past Bulls in 119-113

Kevin Durant had 28 points and Alperen Sengun added 23 with 11 assists to lead the Houston Rockets to a 119-113 win over the Chicago Bulls Tuesday night

Alperen Sengun - Dishes 11 dimes in Tuesday's win Sengun logged 23 points (10-18 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 11 assists, seven rebounds and one block over 36 minutes during the Rockets' 119-113 win over the Bulls on Tuesday.

Impact Sengun finished tied with Amen Thompson as the Rockets' second-leading scorer behind Kevin Durant (28 points), and Sengun's 11 dimes were his most in a game since Dec. 1 against the Jazz (14). The fifth-year center has played 35-plus minutes in each of the two games since returning from a three-game absence due to an ankle injury, so it appears he has fully recovered from that issue. Sengun is averaging 21.7 points, 8.9 rebounds, 6.6 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.0 blocks over 34.4 minutes per game this season.

Dorian Finney-Smith - Sitting out vs. Bulls Finney-Smith is out for Tuesday's game against the Bulls due to left ankle injury management.

Impact Finney-Smith missed the onset of the season due to offseason left ankle surgery, and the Rockets are giving him Tuesday night off. Thursday's matchup against the Thunder is his next chance to suit up. His absence should allow Aaron Holiday and Josh Okogie to see an uptick in playing time off the bench Tuesday.

Impact Sengun returned after missing three games with an ankle injury. He logged 35 minutes in the loss and appears to be on track to keep playing without any restrictions, though an upcoming back-to-back set on Thursday and Friday might result in an absence due to injury management.
