Kevin Porter Jr. - Questionable Sunday Porter (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Clippers, Cayleigh Griffin of AT&T SportsNet Southwest reports.
Impact Porter rolled his ankle late in Friday's loss to the Magic and was unavailable to close out the game. He received treatment on his ankle Saturday and was unable to participate in practice. If Porter is held out Sunday, Dennis Schroder, Jalen Green and Josh Christopher should see increased run.
FEBRUARY 26, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Garrison Mathews - Effective off bench Mathews finished with 13 points (5-9 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two rebounds and two steals in 23 minutes during Friday's 119-111 loss to the Magic.
Impact Mathews started two of the four games leading up to the All-Star break, but he returned to a bench role for Friday's matchup. He maintained consistent playing time and scored in double figures for the first time since Feb. 10. While Mathews has had inconsistent fantasy production recently, he should have ample playing time regardless of his starting status.
FEBRUARY 26, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Christian Wood - Posts double-double Friday Wood racked up 21 points (8-15 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 3-13 FT), 11 rebounds and one assist in 28 minutes during Friday's 119-111 loss to the Magic.
Impact Wood struggled mightily from the charity stripe during Friday's matchup, but he was relatively efficient from the floor en route to the second-highest scoring total on the team. He now has double-doubles in two of his last four appearances, and he's averaged 15.8 points, 9.5 rebounds and 3.0 assists in 28.0 minutes per game across that span.
FEBRUARY 26, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Jae'Sean Tate - Solid production against Orlando Tate accumulated 13 points (6-11 FG, 1-2 3Pt), five rebounds, six assists, one block and two steals across 28 minutes before fouling out of Friday's 119-111 loss to the Magic.
Impact Tate didn't have any trips to the charity stripe during Friday's loss, but he shot 54.5 percent from the floor to score in double figures for a fifth consecutive game. He also tied for the team lead in assists and has now averaged 16.0 points, 5.2 rebounds and 3.6 assists in 29.2 minutes per game across his last five appearances.
FEBRUARY 26, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Jalen Green - Scores 23 in loss Green closed Friday's 119-111 loss to the Magic with 23 points (9-16 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five rebounds, two assists and four steals in 31 minutes.
Impact In Houston's first game after the All-Star break, Green picked up right where he left off by scoring 20-plus points for a second straight contest while also generating solid marks in rebounds and steals. He's now scored in double figures in 11 consecutive appearances and has averaged 16.5 points, 2.9 rebounds and 2.8 assists in 31.8 minutes per game during that time.

Kevin Porter Jr. - Unable to finish Friday's game Porter was unavailable late in Friday's loss to the Magic after rolling his ankle, Danielle Lerner of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Impact Porter was back in action Friday following a two-game absence due to an illness, and he logged six points (2-10 FG, 2-6 3Pt), five rebounds, an assist and two steals in 21 minutes prior to his departure. Coach Stephen Silas didn't sound too concerned about Porter's injury after the game, but it's not yet clear whether the guard will be available Sunday against the Clippers.

Tensions rising between LeBron James and Lakers' front office?
Eric Gordon - Not on injury report Gordon (groin) is not on the injury report ahead of Friday's game against the Magic, Alykhan Bijani of The Athletic reports.
Impact Gordon missed the Rockets' final game before the break due to soreness in his groin, but Houston was on the second leg of a back-to-back, so it's likely he was simply being held out for maintenance purposes. In any case, the veteran guard will likely be back in the starting lineup Friday.

Kevin Porter Jr. - Not on injury report Porter (illness) isn't on the injury report ahead of Friday's game against the Magic.
Impact Porter missed the Rockets' final two games prior to the All-Star break due to an illness, but he'll be back in action once the team resumes play. He's averaged 15.9 points, 6.9 assists and 2.7 rebounds in 30.1 minutes per game across his last seven appearances.

Dennis Schroder - Expected to remain in Houston Schroder isn't expected to be bought out and is instead on course to stick with Houston for the remainder of the season, NBA writer Marc Stein reports.
Impact While rumors swirled that Schroder would possibly be a buyout candidate after being traded to the Rockets in exchange for Daniel Theis, Stein relays that neither Houston nor the point guard favor the move. With starting point guard Kevin Porter (illness) sidelined for back-to-back games heading into the All-Star break, Schroder drew starts in each game and registered a team-high 23 points, nine assists and six rebounds in 39 minutes during the first half of the back-to-back set. However, he'll likely operate as a reserve when the Rockets are back to full strength, which they are expected to be when they return to action Friday against the Magic.
