OCTOBER 10, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Impact Landale will make his preseason debut Wednesday, and he could be due for a sizable workload with Steven Adams (rest) inactive. Landale will come off the bench.
OCTOBER 10, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Dillon Brooks - Active Wednesday Brooks (rest) will play and start in Wednesday's preseason contest versus Oklahoma City, Jackson Gatlin of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
Impact Brooks is flanked by Jabari Smith and Alperen Sengun in Houston's frontcourt Wednesday. Amen Thompson and Jalen Green represent the rest of the Rockets' starting ensemble.
OCTOBER 9, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Amen Thompson - Starting at point guard Thompson will start at point guard during Wednesday's preseason game against the Thunder, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Impact With Dillon Brooks resting, Thompson started at small forward during Monday's preseason opener. However, with Brooks back and Fred VanVleet now getting the night off, the second-year pro will shift to point guard, showcasing the versatility that makes him an intriguing fantasy option if he can reach his potential.
OCTOBER 9, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Fred VanVleet - Won't play Wednesday VanVleet (rest) will not play in Wednesday's preseason game versus Oklahoma City, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Impact VanVleet will be replaced by Amen Thompson in the starting lineup Wednesday. VanVleet's next opportunity for preseason reps comes against the Pelicans on Tuesday.

Amen Thompson - Efficient in loss Monday Thompson notched 13 points (6-8 FG, 1-1 FT), three rebounds, an assist and two steals across 22 minutes in Monday's 122-113 preseason loss to the Jazz.
Impact Thompson got the start at small forward over Dillon Brooks (rest) in the preseason opener, and while he's ticketed for a bench role to start the 2024-25 campaign, he possesses decent upside as a do-it-all type of forward who can fill the stat sheet even when coming off the bench. Thompson averaged 9.5 points, 6.6 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 1.3 steals and 0.6 blocks per game across 62 regular-season appearances as a rookie in 2023-24.
OCTOBER 8, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Alperen Sengün - Fills stat sheet Monday Sengun recorded 17 points (6-8 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds, four assists, three steals and a block across 22 minutes in Monday's 122-113 preseason loss to the Jazz.
Impact Sengun missed the final 18 games of the 2023-24 season with a Grade 3 right ankle sprain but was deemed healthy for training camp in late September, and if fantasy managers needed any confirmation of his status, this performance cleared every possible question marking regarding the 'promising big man. It's unclear who will operate as Houston's go-to player on offense this season, but there's no question Sengun has the most upside in the Rockets roster from a fantasy perspective. He's expected to take another leap in his game after posting averages of 21.1 points, 9.3 rebounds, 5.0 assists, 1.2 steals, 0.7 blocks and 0.5 three-pointers in 32.5 minutes per game over 63 regular-season appearances in 2023-24.
OCTOBER 8, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Jalen Green - Paces Houston in loss Monday Green delivered 21 points (7-14 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 3-3 FT), three rebounds and a block across 20 minutes in Monday's 122-113 preseason loss to the Jazz.
Impact Head coach Ime Udoka attempted to give the potential starters a solid run of minutes in this preseason opener, and Green made the most of it while leading the team in scoring. His role as one of the Rockets' primary offensive threats is not in any danger after displaying tremendous growth in 2023-24, where he averaged 22.8 points per game since the All-Star break.

Cam Whitmore - Efficient outing in preseason loss Whitmore posted 17 points (6-8 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three steals, two rebounds, one block and one assist across 19 minutes during Monday's 122-113 preseason loss to the Jazz.
Impact Whitmore was extremely efficient while getting it done on both ends of the floor, and he tallied the second-highest scoring mark for the Rockets behind Jalen Green (21). Whitmore is coming off a solid rookie season, during which he averaged 12.3 points and 3.8 rebounds across only 18.7 minutes per game in 47 regular-season appearances. The 20-year-old is expected to compete for playing time off the bench with Tari Eason (rest) and Amen Thompson behind Dillon Brooks (rest). However, if Whitmore can stay healthy and affect the game on both ends of the floor, it'll likely be difficult for the club to keep him off the court.
