Jae'Sean Tate - Iffy Thursday Tate (ankle) is questionable to play in Thursday's game versus the Mavericks.
Impact Tate hasn't played since Oct. 30 due to right ankle soreness. He is expected to return soon, so his questionable status is a good sign of his availability moving forward. If Tate doesn't suit up Thursday, his next chance to go is Saturday's game against the Knicks.

Dallas faces Houston following Doncic's 60-point game

Usman Garuba - Unproductive again in loss Garuba logged two points (1-2 FG), three rebounds and one assist in 13 minutes during Tuesday's 126-102 loss to the Celtics.
Impact Garuba turned in another quiet performance Tuesday, providing little in the way of stats. He continues to play consistent minutes off the bench despite a lack of production. Garuba should not be on the radar in any fantasy format.
DECEMBER 28, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Tari Eason - Fails to shine again Tuesday Eason racked up six points (2-9 FG, 2-6 3Pt), five rebounds, one assist and one block over 17 minutes during Tuesday's 126-102 loss to Boston.
Impact Eason played a limited role once again Tuesday, continuing what has been a frustrating season. Despite having clear upside, he simply can't convince head coach Stephen Silas to give him more playing time. Even with Eric Gordon (groin) on the sideline, Eason was restricted to just 17 minutes. For anyone not sitting atop the standings, Eason is a very tough player to hold, at least for the foreseeable future.
DECEMBER 28, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
TyTy Washington Jr. - Logs career-high 20 minutes Washington supplied 10 points (4-10 FG, 2-5 3Pt), five rebounds, three assists and one steal across 20 minutes during Tuesday's 126-102 loss to the Celtics.
Impact Washington played as the primary backup behind Kevin Porter, usurping Daishen Nix in the rotation. Managers have been calling for Washington to play more minutes since Opening Night, and while this is still only deep-league relevant, it is certainly a step in the right direction. Managers in deeper formats should keep an eye on things in Houston, just in case Washington can carve out a regular 20-minute role.

Celtics interim coach Mazzulla misses game with eye problem

Celtics interim coach Joe Mazzulla missed the team's game against the Houston Rockets because of eye irritation and was replaced on the Boston bench by assistant Damon Stoudamire
DECEMBER 28, 2022 • Associated Press
Kenyon Martin Jr. - Returns to starting lineup Martin is in the starting five for Tuesday's game versus the Celtics, Ben DuBose of USA Today reports.
Impact Martin will replace Eric Gordon (groin) in the starting five Tuesday. However, Gordon will likely reclaim his starting spot Thursday, as he is simply sitting out the second night of a back-to-back.
DECEMBER 28, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Jae'Sean Tate - Still out Tuesday Tate (ankle) is out Tuesday against the Celtics.
Impact Tate is nearing a return, but it won't come Tuesday. His next chance to play is Thursday at Dallas.
DECEMBER 27, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Eric Gordon - Resting Tuesday Gordon is out Tuesday at Boston due to right groin injury maintenance.
Impact Gordon is sitting out the second half of Houston's back-to-back set. In his absence, more minutes should be available for Kenyon Martin, Garrison Mathews and others.
DECEMBER 27, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Jalen Green - Reaches 20-point mark again Green chipped in 24 points (9-15 FG, 6-10 3Pt, 0-2 FT), six rebounds, three assists and one steal in 35 minutes during Monday's 133-118 win over Chicago.
Impact Green has surpassed the 20-point mark in three games in a row and in six of his last eight contests, so his role as one of Houston's main scoring weapons is noticeable, as evidenced by the fact that he's attempting 17.0 field goals per game in that span. The efficiency has not always been there, though, and while Green's percentage numbers are worse compared to the ones of his rookie year, he supplies that with high-volume scoring numbers. He's averaging 21.4 points across 34.5 minutes per game.
DECEMBER 27, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Alperen Sengun - Stuffs stat sheet once again Sengun finished Monday's 133-118 win over Chicago with 25 points (10-12 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 11 rebounds, six assists, two blocks and one steal over 32 minutes.
Impact One of the most productive big men in fantasy due to his touch around the rim, rebounding energy and above-average passing, Sengun has been an absolute stud in recent weeks. Firmly entrenched as the Rockets' starting center, he has scored in double digits in seven games in a row and has racked up three double-doubles while averaging 15.9 points, 9.1 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 1.1 blocks per game during that span.
DECEMBER 27, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Kevin Porter Jr. - Erupts for season-high 36 points Porter registered 36 points (14-22 FG, 6-12 3Pt, 2-4 FT), seven rebounds and nine assists across 39 minutes during Monday's 133-118 victory over the Bulls.
Impact Porter pulverized his previous season-high mark and reached the 30-point plateau for the second time in his last three contests. The lack of consistency has been a big issue for him, but he's making strides of late with three games with at least 20 points over his last six contests. The floor general, who keeps improving his chemistry with Jalen Green in the Rockets' backcourt, is averaging 19.8 points, 5.0 assists and 4.8 rebounds per game in December.

Eric Gordon - Starting against Chicago Gordon is in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Bulls, Mark Berman of Fox 26 Houston reports.
Impact Gordon missed the team's previous game with a left thumb contusion, but he's back in the lineup for this one, meaning Kenyon Martin heads back to the bench. Gordon is averaging 11.4 points per game while shooting 35.4 percent from three-point range this season.
