Houston Rockets News and Rumors - NBA

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.

Jabari Smith Jr. - Secures double-double in loss Smith supplied 17 points (5-15 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 10 rebounds, one assist, one block and two steals across 34 minutes during Thursday's 111-91 loss to Oklahoma City.

Impact Smith struggled to find the bottom of the net from the field but managed to do damage by knocking down three treys. He also finished second on his team in rebounds, marking his first double-double since Dec. 29. The Auburn product is averaging 14.3 points, 8.0 rebounds and 1.3 steals over his last four games.

Kevin Durant - Paces Houston with 19 points Durant ended Thursday's 111-91 loss to Oklahoma City with 19 points (7-23 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 5-5 FT), seven rebounds, three assists, one block and three steals across 37 minutes.

Impact Durant struggled to get in a groove offensively and only managed to lead the Rockets in scoring due to sheer volume. Thursday marked the first time since Dec. 11 that he's been held under 20 points, which speaks to the tear that he's been on for the last month or so. Durant was also more active on the defensive end, tying his season high in steals after failing to record a swipe in his previous nine games.

Impact Sengun wasn't as effective as he usually is on the offensive end, but he turned in his second straight double-double, this time by grabbing double-digit rebounds. He continues to look solid since returning from a three-game absence, averaging 18.7 points, 9.7 rebounds, 6.7 assists and 1.0 blocks in his last three appearances.

Tari Eason - Ruled out for Thursday Eason (ankle) won't play Thursday versus the Thunder.

Impact Thursday will mark the third consecutive game on the sidelines for Eason, but perhaps he'll be able to get back out there for Friday's game versus the Timberwolves. Aaron Holiday and Josh Okogie have alternated starts the past two games with Eason unavailable, so it'll be interesting to see who gets the call Wednesday evening.

Dorian Finney-Smith - Out again Thursday Finney-Smith has been ruled out for Thursday's game against Oklahoma City.

Impact Finney-Smith will miss a second straight game due to left ankle injury management. Thursday's contest is the first leg of a back-to-back set, so it's possible the Rockets plan on playing him Friday against Minnesota. Regardless, Aaron Holiday and Josh Okogie could see a slight increase in playing time. Finney-Smith is averaging 2.8 points and 2.9 rebounds across 15.4 minutes per game this season.

Impact Thompson saw another massive workload for Houston and continues to churn out elite fantasy numbers. As the halfway point of the season approaches, Thompson is currently on pace to return fourth-round value in nine-category formats with 18.8 points, 7.6 rebounds, 5.1 assists, 1.3 steals, 0.5 blocks and 0.4 three-pointers.
