Daniel Theis - Won't be available Tuesday Theis won't play Tuesday against the Pelicans due to personal reasons, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Impact Theis and fellow veteran Eric Gordon (heel) have both been ruled out for the Rockets' final contest before the Feb. 10 trade deadline. Theis hasn't appeared in a game since Jan. 14, so his absence shouldn't impact Houston's rotation.
FEBRUARY 8, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Eric Gordon - Ruled out Tuesday Gordon (heel) has been ruled out for Tuesday's matchup with New Orleans due to personal reasons, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Impact Gordon, who has missed back-to-back games due to a heel injury, won't play in the Rockets' final game before the Feb. 10 trade deadline. In his absence, Garrison Mathews should continue to handle increased work.
FEBRUARY 8, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Eric Gordon - Officially questionable Tuesday Gordon (heel) is questionable for Tuesday's game against New Orleans, Adam Spolane of Sports Radio 610 Houston reports.
Impact Coach Stephen Silas said after Monday's practice that Gordon is doubtful for Tuesday's matchup against New Orleans, but the Rockets' injury report lists him as questionable. If the 33-year-old is unable to play, Garrison Mathews should continue to handle increased work.
FEBRUARY 7, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Eric Gordon - Unlikely to play Tuesday Gordon (heel) is doubtful for Tuesday's contest against New Orleans, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Impact Despite practicing Monday, Gordon is headed toward a second straight absence due to a sore left heel, which coach Stephen Silas classified as plantar fasciitis. In his expected absence, Garrison Mathews will likely continue to garner a sizable role off the bench.
FEBRUARY 7, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Eric Gordon - Returns to practice Monday Gordon (heel) participated in practice Monday, Adam Spolane of Sports Radio 610 Houston reports.
Impact Gordon was sidelined for Sunday's loss to the Pelicans after being a late addition to the injury report with a heel issue. He's trending in the right direction, but his status for Tuesday's rematch against New Orleans is still up in the air.
FEBRUARY 7, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Garrison Mathews - Excellent effort off bench Mathews supplied 18 points (6-11 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 1-2 FT), one rebound, four assists and one block over 30 minutes during Sunday's 120-107 loss to the Pelicans.
Impact Mathews is slowly carving a role as a bench scoring threat for the Rockets and made his presence felt once again, draining five threes and ending as one of the Rockets' main scoring weapons. He has scored in double digits in four of his last five appearances and is shooting an impressive 40.5 percent from deep in that span, so expect Mathews to continue seeing minutes off the bench for Houston.
FEBRUARY 7, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Christian Wood - Comes close to double-double Wood finished Sunday's 120-107 loss to the Pelicans with 22 points (8-15 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), eight rebounds, three assists and one block over 35 minutes.
Impact Wood ended just two rebounds away from delivering what would've been his fourth double-double over his last five appearances, and he continues to make an impact at both ends of the court for the Rockets. Over his last 11 appearances, Wood has seven double-doubles while averaging 20.0 points, 11.3 rebounds and 2.3 assists per game. He's also shooting 51.6 percent from the field and 46.9 percent from three-point range during that span.
FEBRUARY 7, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Jae'Sean Tate - Scores 15 in loss Tate ended Sunday's 120-107 loss to the Pelicans with 15 points (5-10 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three rebounds, one assist, two blocks and one steal across 32 minutes.
Impact Tate scored in double digits once again, and while he's gone seven straight contests without clearing the 15-point plateau, it's worth noting that he's scored in double digits in all but three games since the beginning of January. Tate is averaging 12.1 points, 5.1 rebounds and 3.1 assists per game in that span.

REPORT: Christian Wood Wants to Stay in Houston ' SLAM Ahead of the Feb. 10 trade deadline, it appears that Christian Wood prefers to stick with the Houston Rockets longer term.

Alperen Sengun - Starting Sunday Sengun will start Sunday's game against the Pelicans, Mark Berman of Fox 26 in Houston reports.
Impact With Eric Gordon (heel) sidelined, the Rockets will mix it up and go with a larger lineup featuring Sengun and Christian Wood up front, while Jae'Sean Tate shifts down to the small forward spot. Fantasy managers have been clamoring all season for Sengun to take on a larger role, and the Rockets may finally be inclined to begin extending his leash over the final few months of the season. Entering Sunday, Sengun has played a combined 54 minutes over the last two games -- his most in any two-game span this season. He finished Friday's loss to the Spurs with 18 points, two rebounds, one assist, one steal and three blocks in 29 minutes.

Rockets' Eric Gordon Ruled Out For Sunday vs. Pelicans Houston Rockets guard Eric Gordon (heel) has been ruled out of Sunday's matchup with the New Orleans Pelicans.
FEBRUARY 6, 2022 • NESN.COM
Kevin Porter Jr. - Starting Sunday Porter (illness) will start Sunday's game against the Pelicans, Mark Berman of Fox 26 in Houston reports.
Impact Porter is battling a non-COVID illness, but he'll play through the ailment and start at his usual guard spot alongside Jalen Green. The illness forced Porter to exit Friday's loss to the Spurs after just 11 minutes of action.
FEBRUARY 6, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Eric Gordon - Not available Sunday Gordon (heel) has been ruled out for Sunday's contest against the Pelicans, Adam Spolane of Sports Radio 610 Houston reports.
Impact As expected, Gordon won't be available after being a late addition to the injury report Sunday. In his absence, Garrison Mathews, Josh Christopher and Armoni Brooks are all candidates for increased roles.
FEBRUARY 6, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Eric Gordon - Questionable for Sunday Gordon is listed as questionable for Sunday's contest against the Pelicans due to left heel soreness.
Impact Gordon was a late addition to the injury report, which is never a good sign. If he's unable to suit up, Garrison Mathews would be a likely candidate for an increased role.
FEBRUARY 6, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Kevin Porter Jr. - Questionable with illness Porter (illness) is questionable for Sunday's game versus New Orleans.
Impact Porter was limited to 11 minutes Friday against the Spurs due to the illness, and his availability for Sunday's contest remains in question. Eric Gordon (heel) is also questionable, so Armoni Brooks, Josh Christopher and Garrison Mathews could have heavily increased workloads if both Porter and Gordon are unavailable.

FEBRUARY 6, 2022 • USATODAY.COM
Kevin Porter Jr. - Off injury report Porter (illness) is not on the injury report for Sunday's matchup against the Pelicans, Mark Berman of Fox 26 Houston reports.
Impact Porter missed the second half of Friday's loss to the Spurs due to an illness but is fine for Sunday. Before that, he had scored in double digits in eight straight games, with averages of 17.3 points, 7.5 assists, 3.0 rebounds and 1.1 steals.
FEBRUARY 5, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Jalen Green - Scores 12 points in defeat Green contributed 12 points (3-9 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), two rebounds, three assists and one steal across 23 minutes during Friday's 131-106 loss to San Antonio.
Impact Green was one of five Houston players that scored in double digits, but he wasn't very efficient across the board and didn't do much in other categories. At least the rookie remains productive since he has scored in double digits in four games in a row.
FEBRUARY 5, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Christian Wood - Double-doubles in loss Wood totaled 13 points (5-10 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-6 FT), 11 rebounds, one assist and two blocks over 31 minutes during Friday's 131-106 loss to the Spurs.
Impact Wood's numbers in this lopsided loss don't jump out of the page, but it's worth noting that he's now recorded three double-doubles over his last four contests and seven across his last 10 games. He's averaging 19.8 points and 11.6 rebounds per game across that 10-game stretch.
FEBRUARY 5, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Josh Christopher - Scores season-high mark Friday Christopher racked up 23 points (7-13 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 7-8 FT), five rebounds, four assists and three steals in 29 minutes during Friday's 131-106 loss to the Spurs.
Impact Christopher came out of nowhere to deliver his best scoring output of the campaign, but that wasn't enough as the Spurs raced out to a comfortable victory. Even though Christopher remains in a reserve role and that's not likely to change, it's worth noting that he's scored in double digits in four of his last five contests, so an uptick in his minutes might be happening sooner than later.
