Dillon Brooks - Struggles with shot Brooks had seven points (3-9 FG, 1-6 3Pt), four rebounds and one assist over 32 minutes during Tuesday's 112-95 loss to the Thunder.
Impact Brooks couldn't get much going offensively, but that will rarely affect his aggressiveness. He's had a tough month, posting averages of 12.8 points, 3.5 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 2.4 three-pointers in February while shooting 37.4 percent from the field.
FEBRUARY 28, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Alperen Sengun - Posts monster line Sengun amassed 23 points (8-13 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 7-12 FT), 11 rebounds, six assists, two blocks and two steals across 36 minutes during Tuesday's 112-95 loss to the Thunder.
Impact Lines like this have become the norm for Sengun this season. He's been a sixth-round fantasy value in nine-category leagues so far, posting averages of 21.1 points, 9.2 rebounds, 4.9 assists, 1.1 steals and 0.8 blocks.
FEBRUARY 28, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Jabari Smith Jr. - Double-doubles in loss Smith closed with 18 points (7-16 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 13 rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal across 35 minutes during Tuesday's 112-95 loss to the Thunder.
Impact Smith now has 13 double-doubles to his name this season. He's been very productive over his last three appearances, averaging 20.0 points, 15.3 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 1.3 steals and 2.7 three-pointers. He hasn't been hot from the field by any means, however, as he shot 38.8 percent in that span.

Fred VanVleet - Hits for 20 in Sunday's loss VanVleet ended Sunday's 123-110 loss to the Thunder with 20 points (7-16 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, three assists and one steal in 38 minutes.
Impact The veteran point guard missed five games in early February due to an adductor strain, but VanVleet appears to be healthy now. He's scored at least 20 points in back-to-back contests, and in three games since his return to the court he's gone 12-for-30 (40.0 percent) from beyond the arc while nabbing five total steals.
FEBRUARY 26, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Alperen Sengun - Double-double against OKC Sengun recorded 19 points (6-12 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 6-7 FT), 12 rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal across 29 minutes during Sunday's 123-110 loss to the Thunder.
Impact It was the 25th double-double of the season for the third-year center, leaving him four short of tying the career high he set in 2022-23. Sengun has been flashing more defensive production of late as well -- over the last five games, he's averaging 18.6 points, 8.2 boards, 4.0 assists, 1.2 blocks and 0.8 steals.
FEBRUARY 26, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Jabari Smith Jr. - Big double-double in loss Smith notched 20 points (6-15 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 17 rebounds, four assists and one steal across 41 minutes during Sunday's 123-110 loss to the Thunder.
Impact The 17 boards represented Smith's best performance on the glass since he ripped down 18 back on Dec. 6, also against the Thunder. The second-year forward has produced at least 20 points in four of the last eight games, but he's scored in single digits in three of them as he attempt to find some consistency on offense. Over that stretch, he's averaging 14.8 points, 10.5 rebounds, 2.0 threes, 1.9 assists and 1.0 steals, but he's shooting only 39.0 percent from the floor and 32.0 percent from long distance.

FEBRUARY 25, 2024 • NEWSOBSERVER.COM
Tari Eason - Ruled out Sunday Eason (lower leg) is out for Sunday's game against the Thunder.
Impact Eason hasn't played since Jan. 1 due to the left lower leg injury affecting him and will likely be eased back into action with a light role whenever he's formally cleared to suit up. His next chance to play will come in a rematch against Oklahoma City on Feb. 27.
FEBRUARY 24, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Amen Thompson - Double-doubles off bench Thompson had 15 points (6-11 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 10 rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal across 33 minutes during Friday's 114-110 victory over Phoenix.
Impact Thompson played off the bench for the second consecutive game now that Fred VanVleet is back in the starting lineup, and even though he's expected to stay in a second-unit role if Houston's usual starters remain healthy, that doesn't mean Thompson can't be a player worth targeting in most formats, especially if he continues to post the numbers he's been delivering of late. The rookie has four double-doubles over his last seven appearances while averaging 13.8 points, 9.7 rebounds, 3.6 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.1 blocks per game since the beginning of February.
FEBRUARY 24, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Alperen Sengun - Posts another double-double Sengun chipped in 17 points (6-15 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 5-8 FT), 12 rebounds, four assists and one block in 35 minutes during Friday's 114-110 victory over the Suns.
Impact Sengun recorded his 23rd double-double of the season, and he dominated down low while taking advantage of Jusuf Nurkic's absence due to an ankle problem. The versatile big man has been one of the top fantasy contributors not only for the Rockets but in the Western Conference as a whole due to his impressive two-way play and his ability to rack up double-doubles with ease while also chipping in on peripheral categories. Over his last 10 games, Sengun has averaged 18.1 points, 9.1 rebounds, 4.6 assists, 0.9 steals, and 0.7 blocks across 32.2 minutes per game.
FEBRUARY 24, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Jabari Smith Jr. - Excellent in win over Phoenix Smith supplied 22 points (6-18 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 7-8 FT), 16 rebounds, three assists, one block and two steals over 41 minutes before fouling out of Friday's 114-110 win over the Suns.
Impact Smith didn't have his best performance from an efficiency point of view, as he needed 18 shots to score 22 points, but other than that, he delivered a strong all-around performance while making his presence felt on both ends of the court. Smith's growth compared to his rookie year has been noticeable both in fantasy and real life, and his numbers in recent weeks are a strong reflection of that improvement. He has scored at least 20 points in three of his last seven games, a span in which he's averaging 14.0 points, 9.6 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.0 steals per contest.
