GAME LOG
Tari Eason - Off injury report for Saturday Eason (lower leg) isn't listed on the injury report for Saturday's game against Oklahoma City.
Impact Eason sat out Thursday's loss to the Hornets -- the second leg of a back-to-back set -- due to left lower leg injury management. However, he'll return to action against the Thunder. Over his last five appearances (all starts), the 24-year-old forward has averaged 12.6 points, 6.8 rebounds and 1.4 steals in 28.8 minutes per contest.

Impact Smith extended his double-digit scoring streak to five games in the loss to Charlotte. He connected on 70.0-percent of his shots while staying active on defense as well. Smith and Kevin Durant were the lone bright spots offensively as no other Rockets players scored in double figures.

Kevin Durant - Bright spot in loss Durant recorded 31 points (11-21 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 6-8 FT), three rebounds, one assist and five steals in 31 minutes during Thursday's 109-99 loss to Charlotte.
Impact Durant played well enough to keep Houston in the game, but he received little help from his teammates. The 37-year-old posted a solid showing from beyond the arc after struggling to a 4-for-16 clip in his previous three matchups and turned in his 19th game of 30 or more points through 47 appearances so far this season.

Tari Eason - Ruled out Thursday Eason (lower leg) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Hornets.
Impact Eason popped up on Thursday's injury report as questionable due to a lower leg injury, and it wasn't until minutes before the 8:00 p.m. ET tipoff when the fourth-year pro was officially ruled out. Josh Okogie will enter the Rockets' starting lineup in Eason's absence.

Josh Okogie - Starting Thursday Okogie is in the Rockets' starting lineup against the Hornets on Thursday, Lachard Binkley of SI.com reports.
Impact Okogie has come off the bench in the Rockets' last three games, but he'll make his 29th start of the season Thursday due to the uncertainty over whether Tari Eason (lower leg) will play. Okogie has averaged 3.8 points, 3.1 rebounds and 0.9 assists over 18.6 minutes per game since Jan. 1.

Dorian Finney-Smith - Available to play Thursday Finney-Smith (ankle) is available for Thursday's game against the Hornets.
Impact After sitting out the front end of a back-to-back set, Finney-Smith will be good to go for this contest. The forward is averaging 15.5 minutes per game over his last five outings.
FEBRUARY 5 • ROTOWIRE
Jae'Sean Tate - Ruled out Thursday Tate won't play Thursday against the Hornets due to a left wrist contusion.
Impact Tate has been an inconsistent part of the Rockets' rotation this season, so his absence from the active roster won't impact fantasy leagues. Tate's next chance to play will come Saturday in Oklahoma City.

Tari Eason - Listed questionable Thursday Eason is questionable for Thursday's game against the Hornets due to left lower-leg injury management.
Impact The Rockets are considering holding Eason out of action for the second part of their back-to-back set. If the forward is ultimately downgraded to out, Josh Okogie stands out as the most likely candidate to replace Eason in the starting lineup Thursday.

Kevin Durant - Muted performance in return Durant logged 15 points (4-11 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 7-7 FT), five rebounds, one assist, two steals and one block over 33 minutes during the Rockets' 114-93 loss to the Celtics on Wednesday.
Impact Durant was cleared to return Wednesday from a one-game absence due to a left ankle sprain. Despite logging just 15 points, the All-Star forward still finished as the Rockets' leading scorer in a game where Houston struggled offensively. Durant has scored 15 points or less in each of his last two outings but tallied at least 30 points in four of the five games prior, and the veteran will look to have a more productive outing against the Hornets on Thursday.
