GAME LOG
Christian Wood - Trending toward another absence Rockets head coach Stephen Silas said Wood (illness) is unlikely to play Friday against the Mavericks, Ben DuBose of USA Today reports. He's officially listed as questionable.
Impact Wood has missed back-to-back games due to an illness, and after missing the team's morning shootaround, it appears he will be sidelined for a third straight game. In his expected absence, Alperen Sengun figures to draw another start.
MARCH 11, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Jae'Sean Tate - 'Looks like' he'll be out Tate (ankle) is not expected to play Friday against the Mavericks, Ben DuBose of USA Today reports.
Impact Tate is still technically listed as questionable after missing the team's previous game, but coach Stephen Silas noted that it "looks like" he'll be out again Friday. Assuming that's the case, Kenyon Martin should grab another start.
MARCH 11, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Dennis Schroder - Will play Friday Schroder (ankle) will play Friday against the Mavericks, Ben DuBose of USA Today reports.
Impact Schroder will again play through a sprained right ankle and presumably come off the bench. In his three appearances as a reserve for Houston, he's averaged 8.7 points, 5.7 assists and 2.3 rebounds in 23.0 minutes.
MARCH 11, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Christian Wood - Doesn't participate in shootaround Wood (illness) wasn't at the team's morning shootaround ahead of Friday's contest against the Mavericks, Mark Berman of Fox 26 Houston reports.
Impact Wood has missed back-to-back contests and is officially listed as questionable, but he doesn't appear to be trending in the right direction. If he's sidelined once again, Alperen Sengun would be poised for another start.

Usman Garuba - Will be re-evaluated next week Updating a previous report, Garuba (wrist) will be re-evaluated next week, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Impact Garuba was off the injury report for Friday's game against the Mavericks, but that appears to have been premature. He'll hope to resume 5-on-5 workouts sometime next week with the possibility of returning before the season's end.
MARCH 10, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Usman Garuba - Off injury report Garuba (wrist) is off the injury report for Friday's matchup against the Mavericks.
Impact Garuba underwent wrist surgery in late January with a six- to eight-week timetable, and it appears that he's made a full recovery on time. That said, he's not expected to be a regular part of the rotation going forward.
MARCH 10, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Dennis Schroder - Questionable Friday Schroder (ankle) is questionable for Friday's game against the Mavericks, Mark Berman of Fox 26 Houston reports.
Impact Schroder recently missed four games due to a sprained ankle, but he returned to the court Wednesday against the Lakers and recorded 12 points, a rebound and six assists in 23 minutes. If he's unavailable Friday, Jalen Green and Daishen Nix should see additional run.
MARCH 10, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Jae'Sean Tate - Questionable against Dallas Tate (ankle) is questionable for Friday's game against the Mavericks, Mark Berman of Fox 26 Houston reports.
Impact Tate missed Wednesday's game against the Lakers due to ankle soreness but will have a chance to return Friday. If he's unavailable, Alperen Sengun, Kenyon Martin and David Nwaba could see increased run.
MARCH 10, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Christian Wood - Questionable Friday Wood (illness) is questionable for Friday's game against the Mavericks, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Impact Wood has missed the past two games with a non-COVID-19 illness, and his availability for Friday's contest is also up in the air. Alperen Sengun is poised for another start at center should Wood sit for a third straight contest.

Will Lakers miss playoffs? Loss to Rockets sparks debate

The Lakers just lost to the worst team in the West. Is L.A. in danger of missing the playoffs?

Will Lakers miss playoffs? Loss to Rockets sparks debate
Lakers Reach a New Low With Loss to the Houston Rockets Just when you thought things could not get any worse for the Lakers, they drop a game to the Rockets.
MARCH 10, 2022 • STAR-TELEGRAM.COM
Josh Christopher - Pours in 21 points in win Christopher finished with 21 points (8-13 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds and one assist across 22 minutes Wednesday in the Rockets' 139-130 overtime victory over the Lakers.
Impact Along with Christopher, fellow rookies Jalen Green (32 points) and Alperen Sengun (21 points) also cleared the 20-point threshold, becoming the first trio of teammates under 20 years old to reach that benchmark in the same game. Even though Houston returned Dennis Schroder (ankle) from a four-game absence, the Rockets were still without Christian Wood (illness) and Jae'Sean Tate (ankle), so Christopher could be a candidate to see his minutes tail off a bit if both Wood and Tate are back in action Friday against the Mavericks.
MARCH 10, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Alperen Sengun - Dazzles in career-high 40 minutes Sengun finished with 21 points (9-20 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 14 rebounds, two assists, two steals and two blocks across 40 minutes Wednesday in the Rockets' 139-130 overtime victory...
Impact Making a second straight start for an ailing Christian Wood (illness), Sengun once again saw elevated minutes and produced a fantasy-friendly line. In addition to Sengun, fellow rookies Jalen Green (32 points) and Josh Christopher (21 points) cleared the 20-point threshold, marking the first time in NBA history that a team has had three players 20 years old or younger achieve the feat in the same game. The rookie big man is expected to move into a reserve role and will see a reduction in minutes as soon as Wood gets the green light to play again, but in the opportunities he's received thus far this season, Sengun has firmly established himself as a intriguing asset in keeper or dynasty leagues.

Kevin Porter Jr. - Falls just short of triple-double Porter supplied 10 points (4-13 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), eight rebounds, 10 assists, one block and two steals across 36 minutes during Wednesday's 139-130 overtime win over the Lakers...
Impact Porter struggled from the field Wednesday but contributed across the board and fell two rebounds short of his first career triple-double. It's the sixth time this season he's recorded double-digit assists, and he did so against Los Angeles while committing only one turnover. Porter will remain a key piece at the point for Houston down the stretch, though his shooting percentages from the field (40 percent entering Wednesday) and on free throws (59.6 percent) limit his fantasy ceiling.
MARCH 10, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Dennis Schroder - Returns with 12 points, six assists Schroder (ankle) contributed 12 points (4-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), six assists and one rebound across 23 minutes during Wednesday's 139-130 overtime win over the Lakers.
Impact Schroder missed four games with a sprained ankle, but he returned to the court Wednesday and was a strong contributor off the bench. The 28-year-old provides veteran backcourt depth for Houston and should continue to see plenty of run as a reserve down the stretch behind top guards Kevin Porter and Jalen Green.
MARCH 10, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
KJ Martin Jr. - Double-doubles in first start Martin totaled 17 points (7-12 FG, 3-6 3Pt), 11 rebounds and three assists over 40 minutes during Wednesday's 139-130 overtime win over the Lakers.
Impact The 21-year-old made his first start of the season with Jae'Sean Tate (ankle) sidelined, and he came through with his first double-double of the campaign. Martin has scored in double figures in each of the past two games and should continue to have an increased role until Tate is cleared to return.

Jalen Green - Posts season-high 32 points Green provided 32 points (13-21 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, three assists and one block over 38 minutes during Wednesday's 139-130 overtime victory over the Lakers.
Impact Green delivered his highest point total of the campaign while shooting better than 60 percent from the field to help push the Rockets past the Lakers. The 20-year-old has enjoyed a strong rookie campaign overall but has really stepped up of late with averages of 23.5 points, 3.8 rebounds and 3.7 assists across the past six games.

Garrison Mathews - Moves back to bench Mathews will come off the bench for Wednesday's matchup with the Lakers, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Impact With Eric Gordon (hamstring) returning to the lineup after a one-game absence, Mathews will shift to a bench role. The 25-year-old is averaging 11.1 points and 3.2 rebounds across 27.4 minutes per game this season.
