GAME LOG
Kenyon Martin Jr. - Not starting Monday Martin isn't in the starting five Monday against Chicago, Mark Berman of Fox 26 Houston reports.
Impact Martin will come in off the bench after starting the Rockets' latest matchup Friday against Dallas. Martin has averaged 10.7 points and 5.0 rebounds in 32 games played this year.
DECEMBER 27, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Eric Gordon - Good to go against Chicago Gordon (thumb) is available to play in Monday's matchup with the Bulls.
Impact Gordon has been upgraded from questionable to available Monday after missing the previous game with a left thumb contusion. The veteran guard will likely reclaim his starting spot for Kenyon Martin against the Bulls.

Jae'Sean Tate - Ruled out Monday Tate (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Bulls.
Impact Coach Stephen Silas recently said that Tate is "days away" from returning, but he'll be unavailable once again Friday. He hasn't played since Oct. 30, so it wouldn't be surprising to see him face a minutes restriction once he's cleared to suit up. His next opportunity to return will be Tuesday against Boston.

Eric Gordon - Questionable Monday Gordon (thumb) is questionable for Monday's game against Chicago.
Impact Gordon sat out Friday against Dallas due to a left thumb contusion, but he'll have a chance to return against the Bulls. If he remains out, Tari Eason and Kenyon Martin could see increased run.

Garrison Mathews - Minimal output in return Mathews logged zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt), one rebound, two assists and one steal in 12 minutes during Friday's 112-106 loss to the Mavericks.
Impact Mathews resurfaced from a three-game absence due to illness Friday but may not have been in full form, failing to score while only attempting one shot. He's not worthy of a roster spot in most fantasy formats but can post an occasional outburst.
DECEMBER 24, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Jalen Green - Nice effort in loss Green compiled 23 points (6-17 FG, 0-4 3PT, 11-12 FT), eight rebounds, four assists and two steals across 39 minutes in Friday's 112-106 loss to the Mavericks.
Impact While Green stuggled from the field, he was able to make up for it with an all-around effort that included a healthy number of attempts from the charity stripe. It was the fifth time this season he got double-digit attempts from there, and by only missing one he increased his percentage on the year to 79.9. The second-year combo guard still needs to work on his efficiency, but is capable of getting hot at any moment.
DECEMBER 24, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Jabari Smith Jr. - Multiple career highs Smith totaled 24 points (10-17 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 1-1 FT), 10 rebounds, three assists and one block over 34 minutes during Friday's 112-106 loss to the Mavericks.
Impact Smith had arguably the best game of his rookie season Friday. The 2022 No. 3 pick posted a career high in points and assists while posting his sixth double-double.
DECEMBER 24, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Alperen Sengun - Flirts with triple-double Sengun finished Friday's 112-106 loss to Dallas with 19 points (6-9 FG, 7-8 FT), eight rebounds, seven assists and one steal over 27 minutes.
Impact Sengun didn't finish with double digits in either rebounds or assists but drew relatively close to it in both, finishing with a season-high seven assists in this one. Sengun's showing Friday is one of his better of the season, and the big man has certainly built off of a promising rookie season by delivering top-100 fantasy value to date in 2022-23. He's locked himself into a starting role for Houston, and the 2021 first-round pick could be a contributor for years to come.
DECEMBER 24, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Kenyon Martin Jr. - Mediocre showing in spot start Martin posted 10 points (4-7 FG, 2-2 3Pt), three rebounds, one assist and three steals across 30 minutes during Friday's 112-106 loss to the Mavericks.
Impact Martin got a look in the starting five Friday but didn't exactly light it up, finishing with only 10 points on seven shot attempts. He did snatch a season-high three steals but supplied little else from a fantasy perspective. Martin also figures to return to a bench role once Eric Gordon (thumb) is cleared to return.

Jae'Sean Tate - Set to play in coming days Rockets coach Stephen Silas said Tate (ankle) is getting closer to returning and is now days away instead of weeks, Adam Spolane of Sports Radio 610 Houston reports.
