Reed Sheppard - Muted performance in loss Sheppard finished with 12 points (5-8 FG, 2-3 3Pt), two rebounds and three assists in 20 minutes during Saturday's 122-109 loss to the Mavericks.
Impact Sheppard's fantasy appeal continues to leave a lot to be desired. Considering Alperen Sengun (illness) was out for a second straight game, Sheppard's fantasy managers were likely expecting much more. Over his last four outings, Sheppard is averaging 9.0 points, 3.8 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 1.0 steals and 2.0 three-pointers in 23.1 minutes per contest.
DECEMBER 8, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Aaron Holiday - Plays well again in loss Holiday closed with 19 points (7-12 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, one block and one steal over 27 minutes during Saturday's 122-109 loss to Dallas.
Impact Holiday continues to trend up for the Rockets and is seemingly pulling ahead of Reed Sheppard in the backcourt, at least in terms of minutes. Over his last four games, Holiday is seeing 26.4 minutes per game compared to 23.1 for Sheppard. In that span, he's averaging 11.5 points, 1.8 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 0.8 steals and 2.3 three-pointers.
DECEMBER 8, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Jabari Smith Jr. - Notches 22 points in loss Smith accumulated 22 points (10-19 FG, 2-7 3Pt), eight rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal in 41 minutes during Saturday's 122-109 loss to Dallas.
Impact Smith picked up some offensive usage with Alperen Sengun (illness) sidelined for a second straight game, combining with Kevin Durant for a total of 49 points. Smith is currently on pace for ninth-round value in nine-category formats on a per-game basis with regular-season averages of 15.3 points, 6.4 rebounds, 1.9 assists, 0.8 steals, 0.8 blocks and 2.0 three-pointers across 20 appearances.

Jae'Sean Tate - Chips in five points in defeat Tate registered five points (2-4 FG, 1-3 3Pt), three rebounds, three assists and one steal in 17 minutes during Saturday's 122-109 loss to Dallas.
Impact With Alperen Sengun (illness) joining Tari Eason (oblique) and Dorian Finney-Smith (ankle) on the sidelines for a second consecutive game, Tate saw increased run and dished out a season-high three assists. The 30-year-old forward has appeared in six consecutive contests, during which he has averaged 5.5 points and 2.7 rebounds while shooting 61.9 percent from the field in 12.5 minutes per game.
