Dallas faces conference foe Houston
Houston takes on Dallas for a Western Conference matchup Saturday3 HOURS AGO • Associated Press
Steven Adams - Grabs eight boards in start Adams finished with four points (2-4 FG), eight rebounds, three assists, two blocks and two steals over 30 minutes during Friday's 117-98 win over Phoenix.
Impact Adams moved into the starting lineup for the fifth time this season, replacing Alperen Sengun, who was ruled out due to illness. As usual, Adams filled in admirably, including recording a season-high four combined steals and blocks. Sengun is unlikely to miss a significant amount of time, meaning Adams should be viewed as nothing more than a streaming option for those needing rebounds.

Jeff Green - Uncle Jeff sighting Green accumulated zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and one rebound in eight minutes during Friday's 117-98 win over the Suns.
Impact Green made a rare appearance, moving into the rotation for just the ninth time this season, all of which have come during garbage time. Now firmly in the twilight of his career, Green serves as a positive locker room presence, and nothing more. Don't expect to see him on the floor any time a game is even moderately close.

Amen Thompson - Season-high 31 points Thompson totaled 31 points (12-17 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 6-6 FT), four rebounds and one assist in 32 minutes during Friday's 117-98 victory over the Suns.
Impact Thompson continued his recent scoring surge, tallying a season-high 31 points, his third straight game with at least 20 points. After a somewhat underwhelming start to the season, Thompson has slowly turned things around. In 14 appearances over the past month, he has averaged 18.3 points, 7.6 rebounds, 4.9 assists, 1.5 steals and 0.6 blocks in 36.9 minutes per contest, good enough for top 50 value in standard leagues.

Impact Adams will step into the first unit due to the absence of Alperen Sengun (illness). In four starts this season, Adams is averaging 6.5 points, 10.5 rebounds and 2.0 assists across 28.0 minutes.

Alperen Sengun - Ruled out for Friday Sengun (illness) won't suit up for Friday's game versus the Suns, Vanessa Richardson of Space City Home Network reports.
Impact With Sengun unavailable, Steven Adams will draw the start and Clint Capela should be more involved in the rotation. The Rockets' next game comes Saturday versus the Mavs, and for now, Sengun should be considered questionable for that one.

Alperen Sengun - Questionable with illness Sengun is listed as questionable for Friday's game against Phoenix due to illness.
Impact Sengun is a late addition to the Rockets' injury report due to an illness. The superstar center hasn't missed a game this season, but considering Friday night's game is the first of a back-to-back set, Houston could exercise more caution. If Sengun can't play, Steven Adams and Clint Capela would likely pick up the slack.
