GAME LOG
Alperen Sengun - Well-rounded performance off bench Sengun finished with 13 points (6-15 FG, 1-3 3Pt), nine rebounds, two steals, two blocks and one assist across 22 minutes Tuesday in the Rockets' 113-100 loss to the Clippers.
Impact After serving as more of a strict backup to center Christian Wood in the first two games coming out of the All-Star break, the two big men saw some minutes alongside one another Tuesday. Sengun was able to pick up some extra run as a result and showcased a fantasy-friendly profile, but until head coach Stephen Silas is willing to consistently hand the big man 20-to-25 minutes per game, the rookie's production may be somewhat unreliable. He still makes for a high-upside option to fill out the back end of a 12-team roster, in case he can capture a larger role as the season winds down.

Eric Gordon - Won't play Wednesday Gordon has been ruled out for Wednesday's contest against the Jazz due to right groin soreness, Alykhan Bijani of The Athletic reports.
Impact Rockets head coach Stephen Silas intimated prior to Tuesday's contest that Gordon would likely be held out of the second half of the Rockets' back-to-back due to rest purposes, so while he's labeled with a groin injury, the absence isn't expected to be anything more than a veteran's day off. Regardless, in his stead, Garrison Mathews (ankle), Josh Christopher and David Nwaba are all candidates for increased roles.
MARCH 2, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Dennis Schroder - Questionable against Utah Schroder is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Jazz due to a right ankle sprain, Alykhan Bijani of The Athletic reports.
Impact Schroder has started three of the last four games, but he's dealing with an ankle issue ahead of the second half of a back-to-back set. Even if he's available Wednesday, he could take on a bench role since Kevin Porter (ankle) is probable.
MARCH 2, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Garrison Mathews - Expected to play Wednesday Mathews (ankle) is probable for Wednesday's matchup against the Jazz, Alykhan Bijani of The Athletic reports.
Impact Mathews played through the sprained left ankle Tuesday and totaled eight points (3-10 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 0-1 FT), two rebounds and one steal in 26 minutes. Barring a setback, he'll likely be available for the second half of the Rockets' back-to-back.
MARCH 2, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Kevin Porter Jr. - Probable Wednesday Porter (ankle) is probable for Wednesday's game against the Jazz, Alykhan Bijani of The Athletic reports.
Impact Porter missed the last two games due to a left ankle sprain, but he seems to have a good chance to return for the second half of the back-to-back set Wednesday. Across seven appearances since the start of February, he's averaged 14.3 points, 5.4 assists and 3.3 rebounds in 28.4 minutes per game.
MARCH 2, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Christian Wood - Solid output in defeat Wood recorded 17 points (7-11 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), eight rebounds, one assist and three blocks over 31 minutes during Tuesday's 113-100 loss to the Clippers.
Impact Wood has been extremely consistent this season, and the numbers back that up, as he has scored in double digits while pulling down at least seven rebounds in each of his last 18 games. Over that span, which dates back to Jan. 12, the former Pistons big man is averaging 18.6 points and 10.3 rebounds per game while posting nine double-doubles.
MARCH 2, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Jae'Sean Tate - Sniffs double-double in loss Tate provided 12 points (4-8 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-4 FT), nine rebounds and two assists over 20 minutes during Tuesday's 113-100 loss to the Clippers.
Impact Tate was efficient from the floor and also contributed as a rebounder, as he ended just one board away from posting a double-double. The second-year forward also extended his streak of games with 10 or more points to seven appearances, and he's averaging 15.1 points, 5.9 rebounds and 3.4 assists per game over that span.
MARCH 2, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Jalen Green - Reaches 20-point mark again Green contributed 20 points (9-21 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, one assist, one block and two steals in 33 minutes during Tuesday's 113-100 loss to the Clippers.
Impact Green reached the 20-point mark for the third time over his last four appearances, and perhaps even more importantly, he showed the ability to bounce back instantly following a subpar performance since he had scored just 10 points in the previous meeting against the Clippers on Feb. 27. The rookie scored in double figures in every February matchup and is averaging 16.8 points per game over his last 11 contests.

Eric Gordon - Playing Tuesday, could sit on B2B Coach Stephen Silas intimated prior to Tuesday's game against the Clippers that Gordon may be held out of Wednesday's game against Utah for rest purposes, Mark Berman of Fox 26 in...
Impact Gordon will be available for Tuesday's contest, but as has been the case for much of the season, the veteran will likely be held out of one half of the back-to-back set for maintenance purposes. Gordon has not played in both halves of a back-to-back since Dec. 22 and 23.
MARCH 1, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Garrison Mathews - Ready to play Tuesday Mathews (ankle) is available for Tuesday's game against the Clippers, Ben DuBose of USA Today reports.
Impact Mathews was questionable for Tuesday's contest and will play through his sprained left ankle. He's averaged 10.2 points, 1.8 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 1.0 steals in 25.4 minutes across the past five games.
MARCH 1, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Kevin Porter Jr. - Ruled out Tuesday Porter (ankle) will not play Tuesday against the Clippers, Mark Berman of Fox 26 in Houston reports.
Impact Porter is still battling the sprained left ankle that kept him out of Sunday's narrow loss to the Clippers. Coach Stephen Silas implied pregame that Porter could miss Wednesday's game against Utah as well, so fantasy managers should prepare for that possibility. Dennis Schroder will likely draw another start in Porter's place.
MARCH 1, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Garrison Mathews - Questionable against Clippers Mathews is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Clippers due to a left ankle sprain, Alykhan Bijani of The Athletic reports.
Impact Mathews has come off the bench in each of the last two games, but he's scored in double figures in each of those appearances. If he's unable to suit up against the Clippers, David Nwaba and Josh Christopher should see an uptick in playing time.
FEBRUARY 28, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Kevin Porter Jr. - Questionable Tuesday Porter (ankle) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Clippers, Alykhan Bijani of The Athletic reports.
Impact Porter sprained his left ankle in Friday's loss to the Magic and was held out for Sunday's game against the Clippers. If he's forced to sit out a second straight game, Dennis Schroder, Jalen Green and Josh Christopher should handle increased work.
FEBRUARY 28, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Jae'Sean Tate - Solid line in loss Tate produced 14 points (6-11 FG, 2-4 3Pt), six rebounds, four assists and four steals in 32 minutes during Sunday's 99-98 loss to the Clippers.
Impact Tate's shot volume provided a nice day from the floor, and he also supplemented his line with great secondary numbers. His four steals Sunday matched a season-high for Tate, who will continue to be a solid fantasy producer as long as he's in a starting role.
FEBRUARY 28, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Garrison Mathews - Keeps production up off bench Mathews totaled 17 points (5-10 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 3-4 FT), one rebound, one assist and two steals in 26 minutes during Sunday's 99-98 loss to the Clippers.
Impact Mathews was a very effective shooter in the loss and has put together his best two-game in recent memory. Mathews was vital amid the slew of absences on the roster earlier in the season, but his output has taken an incredible hit since. Kevin Porter's (ankle) absence was the likely cause of this brief improvement.
FEBRUARY 28, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Dennis Schroder - Starts and logs double-double Schroder accumulated 11 points (4-15 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 10 assists and eight rebounds across 38 minutes during Sunday's 99-98 loss to the Clippers.
Impact With Kevin Porter (ankle) out, Schroder drew the start and came two rebounds shy of a triple-double in the loss. The Rockets will likely run with their youth in the final weeks of the season, but the Schroder is a grizzled pro who can offer much-needed leadership to the youngsters in the backcourt. Schroder is a solid fantasy pivot when he starts, but his position in the rotation doesn't provide much fantasy value moving forward.

Dennis Schroder - Starting Sunday Schroder will start Sunday's game against the Clippers, Adam Spolane of Sports Radio 610 Houston reports.
Impact Schroder came off the bench Friday against Orlando but will make his third start in the past four games Sunday with Kevin Porter (ankle) ruled out. Schroder has averaged 11.5 points, 3.8 rebounds, 7.3 assists and 1.0 steals in 28.5 minutes across four games since joining Houston.
