Aaron Holiday - Quiet in 20 minutes Holiday closed with two points (1-3 FG, 0-2 3Pt) across 20 minutes during Monday's 123-118 victory over Washington.

Impact Holiday saw a healthy workload with the second unit, but his usage rate was microscopic. It's worth mentioning that Amen Thompson tweaked his ankle Monday, so there could be more minutes opening up in Houston.

Dorian Finney-Smith - Decent workload in win Finney-Smith ended with five points (2-6 FG, 1-1 3Pt), six rebounds, one assist and one steal across 27 minutes during Monday's 123-118 win over the Wizards.

Impact Finney-Smith saw a sizable workload in this win, but he wasn't able to do much damage in the box score. Amen Thompson suffered an ankle issue Monday and Jabari Smith (ankle) is also day-to-day, so Finney-Smith could see a short-term boost in minutes.

Kevin Durant - Drops 30 points in victory Durant finished with 30 points (8-15 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 11-11 FT), seven rebounds, one assist and one block in 37 minutes during Monday's 123-118 win over Washington.

Impact Durant turned in a strong scoring performance and led the Rockets with 30 points. The star forward continues to serve as a key source of scoring for Houston, as he's put up 30 or more points in three straight matchups. It was also a positive sign to see Durant get back on track from beyond the arc after struggling to 4-for-18 clip from downtown in his previous two outings.

Clint Capela - Minimal impact in win Capela finished Monday's 123-118 victory over the Wizards with four points (1-3 FG, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds and one assist over 11 minutes.

Impact Capela continues to do the bare minimum with his time on the floor, averaging just 3.3 points and 4.1 rebounds in 12.0 minutes per game in seven appearances over the past two weeks. Houston is very thin when it comes to the center spot, with Capela struggling to hold his own, even against the opposition's second unit.

Alperen Sengun - Goes for 32-and-12 Sengun finished with 32 points (12-20 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 8-11 FT), 12 rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 38 minutes during Monday's 123-118 win over Washington.

Impact Sengun took advantage of an undermanned frontcourt, scoring at least 30 points for the first time in his past 12 games. While he was able to score at will against the likes of Julian Reese and Will Riley, Sengun's eight turnovers cannot be overlooked. For those in nine-category formats, rostering a center who averages 3.2 turnovers per game has to be factored in when evaluating his overall value.

Reed Sheppard - Dominates on both ends Sheppard finished Monday's 123-118 victory over Washington with 19 points (7-18 FG, 4-11 3Pt, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds, 10 assists, two blocks and six steals over 42 minutes.

Impact Sheppard was a menace on the defensive end, while also contributing heavily on offense. He closed by recording his first double-double of the season, continuing what has been a strong run over the past week. In four appearances during that time, he has averaged 20.3 points, 4.5 rebounds, 5.3 assists, 5.0 three-pointers and 3.8 combined steals and blocks, making him a first-round asset. The impending return of Jabari Smith could bring all of this to a grinding halt; however, managers would be wise to hold Sheppard, just in case he has, in fact, turned the corner.

Amen Thompson - Doesn't return Monday Thompson (ankle) did not return to Monday's 123-118 win over the Wizards. He finished with 22 points (10-15 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 1-1 FT), 12 rebounds, four assists and two steals across 31...

Impact Thompson exited at the 8:11 mark of the fourth quarter with a reported right ankle injury, though he did plenty of damage prior to departing, posting his 13th double-double of the season. Not known for outside shooting, the guard also knocked down a three-pointer for his 19th trey of the campaign. An update on the specifics and severity of Thompson's injury should surface soon, with the Rockets' next game coming Thursday against the Warriors.

Amen Thompson - Exits with ankle injury Thompson (ankle) went to the locker room in the fourth quarter of Monday's game against the Wizards, Will Guillory of The Athletic reports.

Impact Thompson checked out at the 8:11 mark of the fourth quarter and headed to the locker room after grabbing at his right ankle. The Rockets may opt to be cautious with the 23-year-old, and if he doesn't return down the stretch Monday, Reed Sheppard would likely handle point guard duties, with Dorian Finney-Smith, Aaron Holiday and Josh Okogie serving as reserve reinforcements.

Impact Eason was involved in an on-court altercation with Jamir Watkins and was assessed a pair of technical fouls, resulting in an ejection at the 2:52 mark of the third quarter. The Rockets will turn to Dorian Finney-Smith, Aaron Holiday and Josh Okogie as reserve reinforcements for the fourth quarter with Eason disqualified.
