Dorian Finney-Smith - Listed out for Saturday Finney-Smith (ankle) is out for Saturday's game against the Celtics.
Impact Finney-Smith has been out of action since training camp while he recovers from offseason left ankle surgery. The veteran forward should play meaningful minutes when healthy, but his return doesn't seem to be imminent. Until Finney-Smith is ready to play, Tari Eason has one less obstacle to climb for playing time.

Jabari Smith Jr. - Drops season-high 25 points in win Smith dropped in a season-high 25 points (8-16 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 5-6 FT) Wednesday, to go with five rebounds, five assists, two steals and one block over 38 turnover-less minutes in a 1...
Impact Smith got off to a quick start in this one, dropping in 10 points in his first six minutes of play, and he did an excellent job helping spread the floor by knocking down the kick-out threes. He's been heating up over the past two, so it'll be interesting to see if he can keep it going Saturday with a tough matchup in Boston.
OCTOBER 30, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Josh Okogie - Scores 10 points with two triples Okogie provided 10 points (4-5 FG), one rebound, two assists, two triples and one turnover through 24 minutes as a starter during Wednesday's 139-121 win over the Raptors.
Impact "[Okogie] knows his role," Rockets head coach Ime Udoka stated during a recent interview, explaining his decision to move Okogie into the first unit. "He's keeping it simple. He brings the physicality and aggressiveness on the defensive side of the ball. Knows how to play off other guys and then fits in with the areas we like: Crashing the glass, slashing, making plays, second opportunities." Since being inserted into the first unit, the Rockets have rattled off two straight wins, so for now, he looks to be locked in as a starter.

Alperen Sengun - Posts 18-8-9-2-2 line in win Sengun notched 18 points (6-8 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 5-8 FT), eight rebounds, nine assists, two steals, two blocks and two turnovers in 35 minutes during Wednesday's 139-121 win over the Rap...
Impact In Sengun's first four NBA seasons, he shot just 70.1 percent at the charity stripe, which was a major negative to his overall fantasy value. However, this season he's been converting 79.4 percent of his freebies on a career-high 8.5 attempts. The early-season free-throw mastery feels flukey, but if he can keep it up, he could easily work his way into the top-15 equation.
OCTOBER 30, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Kevin Durant - Nets 31 points with three blocks Durant compiled 31 points (11-19 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 5-8 FT), five rebounds, one assist, three blocks and two turnovers in 37 minutes during Wednesday's 139-121 victory over the Raptors.
Impact Durant has been cruising along with top-40 value to open the year behind averages of 27.5 points per game on 52.2 percent shooting to go with 5.8 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 1.8 triples, 1.0 steal, 1.0 block and 2.5 turnovers per contest. He's one of the most efficient scorers to ever do it and is showing no signs of slowing down in his age-37 season.
OCTOBER 30, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Amen Thompson - Posts 18-9-7-2 line in win Thompson recorded 18 points (7-13 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 4-5 FT), nine rebounds, seven assists, two steals and four turnovers in 40 minutes during Wednesday's 139-121 win over Toronto.
Impact While Thompson shot it well from beyond the arc throughout the preseason, he still hasn't been able to get any of his three-point looks to fall through the first four games of the year, going 0-10 from distance. The Rockets clearly want him to keep taking those shots to help spread the floor, but there will be some growing pains. On a positive note, this was his first game of the season with multiple steals and more than four rebounds, so he's trending in the right direction.
