Houston Rockets NBA Scores & Schedule | FOX Sports

Josh Christopher - Scores 11 points off bench Christopher accumulated 11 points (4-8 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), one rebound, one assist and one steal across 15 minutes during Saturday's 119-111 loss to the Bulls.

Impact Christopher continues to play a limited reserve role for Houston, but he was able to reach double figures Saturday for the first time in four games. Since the All-Star break (nine games), the second-year wing is averaging 8.1 points, 1.4 assists and 1.2 rebounds in 17.6 minutes per contest.

Jabari Smith Jr. - Back-to-back double-doubles Smith contributed 20 points (8-14 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 10 rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal in 36 minutes during Saturday's 119-111 loss to the Bulls.

Impact Smith has posted back-to-back games with at least 20 points and 10 rebounds, but he's also recorded at least one tally in each defensive category during both of those contests. Over his last five games -- arguably his best stretch of the season -- the rookie is averaging 17.6 points, 7.2 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 1.4 steals-plus-blocks in 33.8 minutes per game.

Daishen Nix - Heads back to bench Nix will move back to the bench Saturday against the Bulls, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Impact Kevin Porter (thigh contusion) is returning from a one-game absence, so there are no surprises here. Nix did not take advantage of his expanded opportunity Thursday versus Indiana, as he was held to six points on 25 percent shooting in 35 minutes.

Kevin Porter Jr. - Cleared to play Porter (thigh) is available and will start Saturday against the Bulls, Coty M. Davis of SI.com reports.

Impact Porter is coming off a one-game absence against the Pacers. With Porter getting the green light to return, Daishen Nix returns to the bench and will lose most of his fantasy value.

Kevin Porter Jr. - Likely to play against Chicago Porter (thigh) is probable for Saturday's game versus the Bulls.

Impact Porter is expected to return to the lineup Saturday after missing the previous game with a left thigh contusion. The 22-year-old guard will likely replace Daishen Nix in the starting five.

MARCH 10 • ROTOWIRE

TyTy Washington Jr. - Back to NBA Houston recalled Washington from the League's Rio Grande Valley Vipers on Friday, Alykhan Bijani of The Athletic reports.

Impact Washington fell out of the rotation with Kevin Porter and Jalen Green healthy and was sent to the G League. However, Porter is back on the injury report again with a thigh issue, so Washington has been recalled and will serve as a depth option if Porter is ultimately sidelined.

Daishen Nix - Fails to deliver in start Nix chipped in six points (3-12 FG, 0-2 3Pt), seven rebounds and two assists across 35 minutes before fouling out of Thursday's 134-125 overtime loss to Indiana.

Impact Nix moved into the starting lineup Thursday, replacing Kevin Porter, who was ruled out due to a thigh injury. Despite playing 35 minutes, Nix failed to come through with the goods. While TyTy Washington continues to bide his time on the bench, head coach Stephen Silas has thus far refused to shake up the team's rotation. As long as Nix continues to log meaningful minutes, he is at least worth a look in deeper formats.

Kenyon Martin Jr. - Lands 23 points in loss Martin finished with 23 points (9-13 FG, 5-8 FT), three rebounds, one assist and two steals across 32 minutes during Thursday's 134-125 overtime loss to Indiana.

Impact Martin continues to put together the best season of his career, having now scored in double digits in seven of his past eight games. While he is outside the top 150 for the season, over the past month he has yielded top-100 value. He is locked in as a starter, and although there are a couple of glaring flaws in his overall game, he remains a must-roster player in just about every format.

Jabari Smith Jr. - Career-best performance Thursday Smith amassed 30 points (10-19 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 7-9 FT), 12 rebounds, three assists, one block and two steals over 47 minutes during Thursday's 134-125 overtime loss to Indiana.

Impact Smith was firing on all cylinders Thursday, turning in easily the best performance of his young career. In what has been a disappointing rookie campaign, Smith was finally able to deliver on the hype, putting up solid contributions on both ends of the floor. The Rockets are going to continue handing him as many minutes as possible, providing him an excellent opportunity to build on this moving forward. Managers shouldn't expect numbers like this very often, but at this point, any progression is a bonus.

Daishen Nix - Set to start against Indiana Coach Stephen Silas said Nix is expected to be in the starting lineup for Thursday's game versus the Pacers, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Impact Nix is slated to replace Kevin Porter (thigh) in the starting five Thursday despite not seeing any playing time in the last two games. Nix is averaging 6.8 points, 4.0 assists and 2.5 rebounds in 28.7 minutes across his previous six outings starting this season.
