Impact Schroder missed Wednesday's loss to the Jazz and is slated to miss a second consecutive contest due to a nagging ankle issue. In his expected absence, Josh Christopher and Garrison Mathews will likely see more playing time.

Eric Gordon - Off injury report Gordon (groin) is off the injury report for Friday's game against the Nuggets.
Impact After sitting out the second half a back-to-back set Wednesday, Gordon will be back in action. Since the start of February, he's averaged 12.0 points, 1.9 rebounds and 1.7 assists in 29.3 minutes.
MARCH 4, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Jae'Sean Tate - Off injury report Tate isn't listed on the Rockets' injury report Thursday, indicating he should play Friday against Denver, Ben DuBose of USA Todayreports.
Impact Tate suffered an ankle injury in Wednesday's contest against the Jazz and was forced to exit the game early. The forward seems on track to play against the Nuggets, with Kenyon Martin set to fill in off the bench.
MARCH 4, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Dennis Schroder - Questionable for Friday Schroder (ankle) is listed as questionable for Friday's contest against the Nuggets, Ben DuBose of USA Today reports.
Impact Schroder was forced to miss Wednesday's contest with an ankle issue that's been nagging the guard. With Schroder downgraded to questionable for Friday, it's possible that Josh Christopher and Garrison Mathews (ankle) will see more playing time against Denver.
MARCH 4, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Trevelin Queen - Rejoins NBA club Queen was recalled from the G League by the Rockets on Thursday, Cayleigh Griffin of AT&T SportsNet Southwest reports.
Impact Queen is averaging 24.7 points with the Rio Grande Valley Vipers in the G League this season, but he'll join the NBA roster ahead of Friday's matchup with the Nuggets. He's appeared in eight games for Houston this season.
MARCH 3, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Daishen Nix - Recalled by Rockets Nix was recalled by the Rockets on Thursday, Cayleigh Griffin of AT&T SportsNet Southwest reports.
Impact Nix had been in the G League since mid-January but will now rejoin the parent club with just over a month remaining in the regular season. He's made eight appearances for the Rockets this year and has averaged 3.8 points in 8.4 minutes per game.
MARCH 3, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
KJ Martin Jr. - Submits season-best line in loss Martin delivered a season-high 20 points (8-14 FG, 4-8 3Pt) and added seven rebounds, two assists, one steal and one block across 36 minutes Wednesday in the Rockets' 132-127 overt...
Impact After Jae'Sean Tate's night ended early due to an ankle injury, Martin stepped in to fill most of the minutes at power forward and finished with what may have been his best fantasy line of the season. The second-year forward has flashed this sort of multi-category upside on the few occasions he's handled big minutes loads in the past, so he could make for an intriguing speculative pickup if Tate misses more time. Even before Tate suffered the injury, Martin had been angling for a larger role, as he entered Wednesday's contest with averages of 10.4 points, 3.1 rebounds, 1.4 three-pointers and 1.1 assists in 22.6 minutes over the prior seven contests.
MARCH 3, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Jalen Green - Scores 27 points in loss Green logged 27 points (11-16 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal across 47 minutes during Wednesday's 132-127 overtime loss to the Jazz.
Impact The rookie had an excellent performance, and while the Rockets lost this one, he can't be the one to blame. Green was efficient and trustworthy on offense, but that has been a trend with him of late. The first-year guard has scored at least 20 points in four of his last five contests.
MARCH 3, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Christian Wood - Submits massive line in OT loss Wood posted 24 points (8-13 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 4-8 FT), 10 rebounds, five assists, four steals and one block across 43 minutes Wednesday in the Rockets' 132-127 overtime loss to the Jazz...
Impact The poor showing from the free-throw line limited the overall impact of Wood's fantasy line in eight- and nine-category leagues, but the 26-year-old otherwise gave managers little reason to complain Wednesday. Not only did Wood deliver his most points and three-pointers since Jan. 31, but he also matched his season high in steals. He's now averaging 17.6 points, 8.9 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 2.1 treys, 1.0 blocks and 0.9 steals in 31.8 minutes since the start of February.
MARCH 3, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Jalen Green - Puts up most points since Jan. 1 Green tallied 27 points (11-16 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four assists, two rebounds, one steal and one block across 47 minutes Wednesday in the Rockets' 132-127 overtime loss to the Ja...
Impact Though Green hasn't quite lived up to the Rookie of the Year hype he held heading into the campaign, the 20-year-old has seemingly settled into a groove since late January. He's reached double figures in the scoring column in 14 straight games, with his 27-point outing Wednesday marking his best showing in the category since Jan. 1. Green is also converting at a 44.7 percent clip from the field and a 35.8 percent clip from downtown, both of which are well above his season-long rates (39.6 and 31.2 percent, respectively). The young guard typically doesn't offer much production in the peripheral categories, however, so he'll continue to retain most of his fantasy value in points leagues.

Jae'Sean Tate - Picks up ankle injury Tate won't return to Wednesday's game against the Jazz due to left ankle soreness, Cayleigh Griffin of AT&T SportsNet Southwest reports.
Impact Tate took his usual place in the starting five Wednesday and appeared to suffer the injury early in the contest, though he attempted to return before officially being ruled out. The 26-year-old finished with nine points (3-6 FG, 3-5 3Pt) and one assist in 11 minutes, and he should be considered questionable for Friday's matchup with Denver until his status is updated.
MARCH 3, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Garrison Mathews - Starting versus Utah Mathews will start Wednesday's game against the Jazz, Adam Spolane of Sports Radio 610 Houston reports.
Impact The 25-year-old is unsurprisely available after being considered probable with a sprained left ankle, and he'll start with Eric Gordon (groin) sitting out Wednesday. Mathews has averaged 13.8 points, 3.9 rebounds and 1.0 assists in 31.8 minutes across 18 starts this season.
MARCH 3, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Garrison Mathews - Available Wednesday Mathews (ankle) is available for Wednesday's game against the Jazz.
Impact As expected, Mathews will play through a sprained left ankle. Since the start of February, he's averaged 11.4 points, 2.7 rebounds and 1.2 assists in 26.0 minutes.
MARCH 2, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Kevin Porter Jr. - Set to return Wednesday Porter (ankle) will be available for Wednesday's game against Utah, Alykhan Bijani of The Athletic reports.
Impact Prior to Tuesday's game against the Clippers, coach Stephen Silas implied that Porter could miss both halves of the back-to-back, but he was surprisingly listed as probable earlier in the day and has now been fully removed from the injury report. All signs point to Porter returning to the starting lineup at point guard -- especially with Dennis Schroder (ankle) sidelined.
MARCH 2, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Dennis Schroder - Out Wednesday Schroder (ankle) is out Wednesday against the Jazz, Adam Wexler of Sportstalk 790 Houston reports.
Impact Though Schroder is out, the Rockets will at least be getting back Kevin Porter (ankle), so the backcourt isn't in awful shape. Schroder's absence could result in more usage for Josh Christopher and Garrison Mathews (ankle).
