GAME LOG
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.

Tari Eason - Won't play vs. Bulls Eason (ankle) is out for Tuesday's game against the Bulls.
Impact Eason will miss a second straight game due to a right ankle sprain. Aaron Holiday saw a sizable uptick in playing time Sunday in Eason's absence, though Josh Okogie is also a candidate to see more chances Tuesday.

Alperen Sengun - Returns with 19 points Sengun chipped in 19 points (8-20 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 2-6 FT), nine rebounds, four assists, one block and two steals across 35 minutes during Sunday's 111-98 loss to the Kings.
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.
13 HOURS AGO • ROTOWIRE
Kevin Durant - Compiled 23 points in loss Durant racked up 23 points (9-18 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds and six assists across 38 minutes during Sunday's 111-98 loss to the Kings.
Impact Durant, Amen Thompson and Alperen Sengun were the only players to post double-digit scoring totals in the loss. Although the Rockets are 5-5 over the last 10 games and getting decent production from Durant every night, they've recently fallen to inferior teams and have trouble sustaining leads. Despite the issues, Durant is off to a good start in 2026, averaging 28.7 points, 6.7 rebounds, and 5.3 assists over six games.

DeMar DeRozan had 22 points and became the 23rd player in NBA history to reach 26,000 points, helping the Sacramento Kings beat the Houston Rockets 111-98 on Sunday night

Amen Thompson - Ties season high with 31 points Thompson finished Sunday's 111-98 loss to the Kings with 31 points (11-17 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 9-12 FT), 13 rebounds and six assists over 41 minutes.
Impact Thompson did commit five turnovers during Sunday's loss, but it was otherwise a strong game from the third-year pro, who set a season high with nine made free throws en route to his second 30-plus-point performance of the 2025-26 campaign. He also logged his eighth double-double of the season, three of which have come over his last five outings. In the Rockets' six games since Jan. 1, Thompson has averaged 23.2 points, 9.5 rebounds, 4.7 assists and 1.3 steals over 37.8 minutes per game while connecting on 54.8 percent of his field-goal attempts/

Steven Adams - Reverting to bench role Sunday Adams won't start against the Kings on Sunday, Lachard Binkley of SI.com reports.
Impact With Alperen Sengun back in action following a three-game absence due to a sprained ankle, Adams will slide to the second unit. Over 18 appearances off the bench so far this season, the veteran center has averaged 5.7 points and 8.2 rebounds in 19.7 minutes per contest.

Alperen Sengun - Available Sunday Sengun (ankle) is available for Sunday's game against the Kings.
Impact Sengun will shed his questionable tag and return from a three-game absence due to a sprained right ankle. However, it wouldn't be surprising to see the star big man operate under a minutes restriction. Still, fewer minutes will be available for the likes of Steven Adams and Clint Capela with Sengun back in action.
1 DAY AGO • ROTOWIRE
Aaron Holiday - Starting Sunday vs. Sacramento Head coach Ime Udoka told reporters that Holiday will start against the Kings on Sunday, Will Guillory of The Athletic reports.
Impact Tari Eason will miss Sunday's game due to an ankle injury, so Holiday will enter the Rockets' starting lineup for the first time this season. It's an opportunity to earn a larger role in the rotation for Holiday, who has averaged just 8.5 minutes per game over his last eight outings and was a healthy DNP against the Trail Blazers on Friday.

Isaiah Crawford - Not listed on injury report Crawford (illness) isn't listed on the injury report for Sunday's game against the Kings.
Impact Crawford has missed Houston's last two games due to an illness but will be available Sunday. Still, the two-way player isn't guaranteed to see the floor, as he has totaled just five minutes across two regular-season appearances thus far.
2 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE
Tari Eason - Ruled out for Sunday Eason (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Kings.
Impact Eason will miss Sunday's contest after spraining his right ankle in Friday's loss to Portland. His next opportunity to play will come Tuesday against the Bulls. With the 24-year-old forward sidelined, Josh Okogie and Dorian Finney-Smith are candidates for increased playing time, while Jae'Sean Tate could enter the Houston rotation.

Alperen Sengun - Questionable for Sunday Sengun (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Kings.
Impact Head coach Ime Udoka said Monday that Sengun would likely miss around two weeks due to a right ankle sprain, though he has a chance to return Sunday after missing Houston's past three games. If the star big man is cleared to play, he'll likely be on a minutes restriction. Still, fewer minutes would be available for the likes of Steven Adams and Clint Capela.
