Dorian Finney-Smith - Not listed on injury report Finney-Smith (ankle) isn't listed on the injury report for Monday's game against the Grizzlies.

Impact Finney-Smith sat out Friday's win over Detroit -- the second leg of a back-to-back set -- due to left ankle injury management. However, he's set to return to action Monday. The veteran forward has appeared in 10 games so far this month, during which he has averaged 3.2 points and 3.0 rebounds in 15.5 minutes per tilt.

Aaron Holiday - Likely to play Monday Holiday (back) is probable for Monday's game against the Grizzlies.

Impact Holiday will likely return to the lineup Monday after missing the last five games with a back issue. Holiday has seen inconsistent minutes this season, but with the team relatively healthy, he doesn't figure to return to a significant role.

Tari Eason - Off injury report for Monday Eason (ankle) isn't listed on the injury report for Monday's game against the Grizzlies.

Impact Eason sat out Friday's win over Detroit -- the second half of a back-to-back set -- due to right ankle injury management. However, he's set to return to the lineup Monday. The 24-year-old forward has appeared in just two of Houston's past eight games, averaging 9.5 points, 7.5 rebounds, 2.5 steals and 1.5 assists across 24.0 minutes per contest off the bench over that stretch.

Jae'Sean Tate - Back in rotation Friday Tate notched four points (1-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds and one assist over 16 minutes during Friday's 111-104 win over the Pistons.

Impact Tate was back in the rotation after missing the previous two games, playing at least 15 minutes for just the third time this season. At this point, Tate is nothing more than a depth piece, called upon when the going gets tough. In 26 appearances, he has averaged just 2.7 points in 8.0 minutes per game.

Reed Sheppard - Drops 18 points Friday Sheppard ended Friday's 111-104 win over the Pistons with 18 points (6-15 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 5-5 FT), one assist and one steal in 25 minutes.

Impact Sheppard scored double digits for the fifth straight game, continuing to flirt with standard league value. While Houston continues to deal with its fair share of injuries, Sheppard has been unable to step into a starter-level role. In eight appearances over the past two weeks, he has averaged 12.4 points, 1.0 steals and 2.5 three-pointers in just 21.2 minutes per contest.

Jabari Smith Jr. - Double-doubles in win Smith contributed 11 points (5-9 FG, 1-3 3Pt), 10 rebounds, three assists, two blocks and two steals across 37 minutes during Friday's 111-104 win over the Pistons.

Impact Smith notched his ninth double-double of the season, while also adding four combined steals and blocks. Coming off an empty performance the night prior, this was a welcome sight for managers. Although it feels as though Smith has yet to reach his potential, we continue to get glimpses from time to time. Through 42 games, Smith has been a borderline top 100 player, averaging 15.3 points, 6.9 rebounds, 2.2 three-pointers and 1.6 combined steals and blocks.

Impact Durant turned in an efficient performance and led all players in points and triples. The superstar has recorded 32-plus points in back-to-back games, knocking down five triples in each of them. He also chipped in a steal and a block for the second time in his last three appearances. The veteran forward has reached the 30-point threshold in three of his last five outings, averaging 28.6 points, 5.6 rebounds, 5.6 assists and 1.0 steals per game over that stretch.
