Alperen Sengun - Questionable Friday Sengun (lower leg) is questionable Friday against the Kings, Alykhan Bijani of The Athletic reports.
Impact Sengun sat out Wednesday's loss to the Kings but should see increased run if available due to Christian Wood (hamstring) being sidelined. The rookie has seen at least 20 minutes in each of his past eight appearances with averages of 12.0 points, 6.8 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 1.1 steals and 1.0 blocks.

Bruno Fernando - Double-doubles off bench Fernando ended Wednesday's 121-118 loss to the Kings with 17 points (6-8 FG, 5-6 FT), 10 rebounds, two assists and one block over 22 minutes.
Impact Fernando is not known for filling out the stat sheet on a regular basis, so there's no question this was a surprise outing for the former Maryland standout. However, he has proven he can produce when given enough time. He has logged more than 20 minutes twice this season and he ended up with double-doubles in both contests.
MARCH 31, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Jalen Green - Explodes for 32 points Green notched 32 points (11-25 FG, 6-14 3Pt, 4-5 FT), two rebounds and two assists over 37 minutes during Wednesday's 121-118 loss to the Kings.
Impact Green was undoubtedly one of the best offensive threats for the Rockets but wasn't entirely efficient, as he needed 25 shots to record 32 points and didn't offer much in other categories. Either way, the rookie has now scored at least 30 points in back-to-back games and has now delivered at least 23 points in four straight appearances. He's averaging 20.8 points per game in March.
MARCH 31, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Kevin Porter Jr. - Triple-doubles in loss Porter supplied 30 points (11-17 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 4-5 FT), 12 rebounds, 12 assists and one block in 38 minutes during Wednesday's 121-118 loss to the Kings.
Impact Porter has been one of the most productive players for the Rockets this season, and this was just another strong performance in midst of what has been a career year for the former USC standout. Porter has been excellent in March and is averaging 16.5 points, 6.3 assists and 4.9 rebounds per game across 16 games this month.

Usman Garuba - Making first career start Garuba will start Wednesday's game against the Kings, Cayleigh Griffin of AT&T SportsNet Southwest reports.
Impact The rookie first-round pick will make his first NBA start with Alperen Sengun (lower leg) sidelined and Christian Wood (hamstring) out for the season. Garuba put up five points (1-2 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds and one assist in 14 minutes Monday but is now poised to see more run.
MARCH 30, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Alperen Sengun - Ruled out Wednesday Sengun (leg) will not play Wednesday against the Kings, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Impact As expected, Sengun will be held out as he deals with a bruised leg. Feigen relays that the Rockets are considering the big man day-to-day but are hoping he can play in as many games as possible down the stretch -- especially with Christian Wood (hamstring) done for the year.
MARCH 30, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Alperen Sengun - 'Unlikely' to play Wednesday Sengun (leg) did not go through shootaround and is considered unlikely to play Wednesday against the Kings, despite the fact that he's still listed as questionable, Jonathan Feige...
Impact Sengun remains questionable on the official injury report, but there have been rumblings throughout the day that he's actually much closer to doubtful. If that's the case, the Rockets will likely have to turn to Usman Garuba and Bruno Fernando for minutes at center with Christian Wood (hamstring) done for the season.
MARCH 30, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Dennis Schroder - Done for season Schroder (shoulder) has been ruled out for the remainder of the season, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Impact Schroder was expected to miss his second straight game Wednesday due to a shoulder issue, but the Rockets have elected to shut him down for the rest of the season, along with fellow veterans Eric Gordon (groin/rest) and Christian Wood (hamstring). After being acquired by the Rockets ahead of the trade deadline, the point guard appeared in 15 games and averaged 10.9 points, 5.9 assists and 3.3 rebounds in 27.0 minutes per contest. In his absence, rookies Daishen Nix and Josh Christopher are both candidates for increased roles.
MARCH 30, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Eric Gordon - Ruled out for season Gordon (groin/rest) has been ruled out for the rest of the season, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Impact Gordon was slated to miss his third straight game Wednesday -- one due to rest and the following two due to a groin issue -- and an update like this appeared imminent with only two weeks remaining in the regular season. The 33-year-old finished the campaign averaging 13.4 points, 2.7 assists and 2.0 rebounds in 29.3 minutes across 57 appearances. Houston also ruled out fellow veterans Dennis Schroder (shoulder) and Christian Wood (hamstring) for the season as well. In their absences, the Rockets' youthful reserves -- led by Alperen Sengun (leg), Garrison Mathews and Josh Christopher -- will likely all get plenty of looks during the remainder of the season.
MARCH 30, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Christian Wood - Shut down for season Wood (hamstring) has been shut down for the remainder of the season, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Impact Wood was slated to miss a second consecutive game Wednesday due to a lingering hamstring injury, but the Rockets will elect to keep him out for the final week and a half of the year. The 26-year-old appeared in a career-high 68 games during his second season with the Rockets and averaged 17.9 points, 10.1 rebounds and 2.3 assists in 30.8 minutes per game. Alperen Sengun (lower leg), Usman Garuba and Kenyon Martin should see additional run in the frontcourt down the stretch.
MARCH 30, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Alperen Sengun - Questionable for Wednesday's game Sengun (leg) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Kings, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Impact Sengun left Monday's contest early due to a lower-leg bruise. Christian Wood (hamstring) has already been ruled out, so if Sengun is also sidelined, Usman Garuba, Kenyon Martin and Bruno Fernando would all be candidates for increased roles.
MARCH 29, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Dennis Schroder - Remains out Wednesday Schroder (shoulder) won't play Wednesday versus Sacramento, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Impact The guard also missed Monday's loss to the Spurs with the nagging left shoulder injury, so Wednesday's absence will mark the 15th missed game this season for Schroder. As a result, expect Jalen Green and Josh Christopher to see increased run versus the Kings on Wednesday.
