Tari Eason - Worrying performance Friday Eason supplied four points (2-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt), five rebounds, two assists and one steal across 28 minutes during Friday's 115-111 loss to the Pistons.
Impact Eason struggled again Friday, continuing his slow start to the season. While his playing time was more than enough, his production was well below what is typically expected. Frustrations are likely to set in for those who took a chance on him in drafts, and rightfully so. However, he is worth holding onto in most spots, at least for another week or so, in the hope that he figures things out.

Amen Thompson - Struggles with foul trouble in loss Thompson finished Friday's 115-111 loss to the Pistons with 10 points (2-8 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 6-10 FT), four rebounds, one assist and two turnovers across 30, foul-plagued minutes.
Impact It's been a slow start to the season for Thompson, who dealt with cramping issues in the opener and then foul trouble in this one. He also got clocked in the face by Jalen Duren, which may have put him off-kilter. That said, he'll draw an ideal matchup against the Nets on Monday, so maybe he'll be able to really step into gear during Week 2.
OCTOBER 25, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Steven Adams - Double-doubles in loss Adams recorded 11 points (4-4 FG, 3-4 FT), 10 rebounds and three steals across 25 minutes during Friday's 115-111 loss to Detroit.
Impact Adams recorded his first double-double of the season, having now started in each of the first two games. While the decision to start him is likely based on the individual matchup, he has looked great during his time on the floor. His value will almost certainly fluctuate depending on the opponent, but for now, he is worth streaming for rebounding purposes.

Kevin Durant - Goes for 37 in loss to Detroit Durant finished with 37 points (9-18 FG, 3-3 3Pt, 16-18 FT), three rebounds, an assist, three steals and a block across 28 minutes in Friday's 115-111 loss to the Pistons.
Impact Durant delivered 23 points in the Opening Night loss to the Thunder, and even though this 37-point outburst didn't prevent the Rockets from remaining winless, it was strong proof of what Durant can bring to the table for Houston. The veteran forward should continue to operate as the Rockets' go-to option offensively, even ahead of Alperen Sengun, based on what he's shown in his first outings of the campaign.
