Aaron Holiday - Plays final minute of loss Holiday took the court for the final 51 seconds of Wednesday's 111-99 loss to the Spurs, finishing with one assist and no other statistics.

Impact Holiday had missed two straight games while recovering from back spasms before being cleared to return to action for Monday's 108-99 win over the Grizzlies. He went unused in that contest, and while he remained out of the rotation Wednesday, Holiday got the chance to play in the final minute when the Rockets had essentially conceded defeat. With both Tari Eason (ankle) and Dorian Finney-Smith (ankle) set to rest Thursday in Atlanta, Holiday could end up being in store for more meaningful playing time in the second leg of the Rockets' back-to-back set.

Dorian Finney-Smith - Resting Thursday Rockets head coach Ime Udoka said that Finney-Smith will be out for Thursday's game in Atlanta due to left ankle injury management, Varun Shankar of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Impact Houston will exercise caution in holding out Finney-Smith and Tari Eason for the second leg of a back-to-back set after both played in Wednesday's game against the Spurs. In the Rockets' 111-99 loss, Finney-Smith finished with zero points (0-2 FG, 0-2 3Pt) and two rebounds in 19 minutes. Finney-Smith is averaging just 2.9 points and is shooting 30 percent from the field over 15 appearances with Houston since being cleared to make his season debut Dec. 25 upon completing his recovery from offseason ankle surgery.

Impact Houston will exercise caution in holding out Eason and Dorian Finney-Smith for the second leg of a back-to-back set after both played in Wednesday's game against the Spurs. In the Rockets' 111-99 loss, Eason finished with 10 points (4-10 FG, 2-3 3Pt), six rebounds, three steals and one block in 25 minutes.

Alperen Sengun - Logs double-double in defeat Sengun finished Wednesday's 111-99 loss to San Antonio with 18 points (7-20 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 3-7 FT), 10 rebounds, seven assists and two steals across 36 minutes.

Impact Sengun was forced to leave the floor briefly with what appeared to be an ankle issue, but he returned to the floor shortly after the exit. He seemed to be fine, recording three rebounds, an assist and two points after checking back into the game. Although Sengun attempted 20 shots in the game, he only connected on seven of them, a severe drop from his 15 of 17 converted shots during Monday's win against Memphis.

Kevin Durant - Compiles 24 points in loss Durant notched 24 points (8-17 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 6-6 FT), two rebounds, six assists and one block in 36 minutes during Wednesday's 111-99 loss to the Spurs.

Impact Durant posted a significant regression after averaging 33.7 points over the last three games. His two rebounds marked his second-lowest total of the season, which was also a severe dip from his average of 7.3 rebounds over the same three-game stretch. The Rockets went 2-1 during the run, illustrating Houston's dependency on Durant for positive results.

Amen Thompson - Logs 25 points with four steals Thompson had 25 points (11-23 FG, 3-3 FT), seven rebounds, four assists, one block and four steals in 36 minutes during Wednesday's 111-99 loss to San Antonio.

Impact The Rockets ran out of gas and surrendered a fourth-quarter rally to the Spurs, but Thompson held little blame for the defeat. The interior had no answer for Victor Wembanyama, but four of the starting five scored in double-digits to keep the game competitive. Thompson has enjoyed a productive January, with his 15-game average of 19.3 points, 8.4 rebounds, 5.5 assists, and 1.7 steals surging above his seasonal averages in most categories.
