Dorian Finney-Smith - Sitting out Friday Finney-Smith is out for Friday's game against Detroit due to left ankle injury management.
Impact The veteran forward is sitting out the second half of Houston's back-to-back set. With Tari Eason (ankle) joining Finney-Smith as a spectator Friday, Josh Okogie could see a bump in minutes in the frontcourt.
JANUARY 23 • ROTOWIRE
Aaron Holiday - Listed questionable Friday Holiday is questionable for Friday's game against Detroit with back spasms.
Impact Holiday is looking to return from a one-game absence after sitting out the front end of Houston's back-to-back set Thursday. With Tari Eason (ankle) out against the Pistons, Holiday could end up seeing some decent run off the bench if he's able to suit up.
JANUARY 23 • ROTOWIRE
Tari Eason - Won't play Friday Eason (rest) will not play Friday against the Pistons.
Impact After logging 28 minutes in Thursday's overtime loss to the 76ers, Eason will be held out for left ankle injury management. Presumably, he will be back in action Monday against Memphis. Josh Okogie and Clint Capela are candidates to be more involved as a result Friday.

Kevin Durant - Coughs up eight turnovers in loss Durant finished Thursday's 128-122 overtime loss to Philadelphia with 36 points (13-21 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 5-6 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and one block over 44 minutes.
Impact Durant was responsible for half of Houston's 16 turnovers in the six-point loss, tying his season high in giveaways and finishing with a minus-15 plus/minus. Alperen Sengun posted a team-worst minus-18 differential, recording 13 points (5-15 FG, 1-10 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, seven assists, three steals, two blocks and two turnovers across 38 minutes in the loss.

Amen Thompson - Scores 17 points with nine dimes Thompson contributed 17 points (7-11 FG, 3-5 FT), six rebounds, nine assists and three steals over 42 minutes during Thursday's 128-122 overtime loss to Philadelphia.
Impact Thompson did a nice job running the offense in this one, dishing out nine dimes before committing his first turnover, and he was also a pest on the defensive end. He's been hot through 12 games in January, flirting with top-30 value behind averages of 20.2 points, 4.8 assists, 8.5 rebounds, 1.5 steals and 0.6 swats per contest.

Aaron Holiday - Won't play Thursday Holiday (back) will not play Thursday against the 76ers.
Impact Holiday hasn't been in the rotation for Houston lately, so this news is unlikely to make much of an impact in fantasy hoops.
JANUARY 22 • ROTOWIRE
Isaiah Crawford - Recalled to NBA Houston recalled Crawford from the G League's Rio Grande Valley Vipers on Thursday.
Impact With Steven Adams (ankle) sidelined indefinitely, this may be a long-term callup for Crawford. He's been terrific in the G League, and now he'll have an opportunity to provide frontcourt depth at the NBA level.

Aaron Holiday - Iffy for Thursday Holiday is questionable for Thursday's game against the 76ers due to back spasms.
Impact It's worth noting that Thursday is the front end of a back-to-back for the Rockets. However, Holiday hasn't appeared in three consecutive contests, so his absence wouldn't seem to open up any playing time in the backcourt.
