Josh Okogie - Scores eight points Tuesday Okogie racked up eight points (1-3 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 5-6 FT), two rebounds, one assist and one block over 20 minutes during Tuesday's 125-124 double-overtime loss to the Thunder.
Impact Okogie saw a decent role for his Houston debut, though that could change when the Rockets get some reinforcements back -- Jae'Sean Tate (ankle) and Dorian Finney (ankle) are currently still sidelined. Okogie is more of a defensive specialist with a low usage rate, limiting his overall upside in fantasy formats.
OCTOBER 22, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Clint Capela - Sees eight minutes Capela chipped in four points (1-1 FG, 2-2 FT) and one steal over eight minutes during Tuesday's 125-124 double-overtime loss to Oklahoma City.
Impact The Rockets started a jumbo lineup of Steven Adams and Alperen Sengun in the front court Tuesday, but coach Ime Udoka has previously said that lineups could be fluid based on matchups. Still, it's pretty telling that Capela logged just eight minutes in this double-overtime loss. There will likely be some games where Capela is way more involved, and it's worth noting that Adams is expected to have a maintenance plan as well. But if Tuesday was any indication, Capela's fantasy appeal isn't the greatest as things currently stand.
OCTOBER 22, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Kevin Durant - Notches 23 points in loss Durant recorded 23 points (9-16 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 5-6 FT), nine rebounds and three assists in 47 minutes before fouling out of Tuesday's 125-124 double-overtime loss to Oklahoma City.
Impact Durant, who just recently signed a two-year, $90 million extension, had a solid start to his Houston career. His usage rate of 20.7 percent was the fourth highest on the team, and both Amen Thompson and Alperen Sengun logged more shot attempts from the field in what was a very-balanced attack from Houston. Even at age 37, Durant still looks to have a ton of gas left in the tank.
