Clint Capela - Logs 12 minutes in win Capela finished with six points (2-3 FG, 2-2 FT), two rebounds and one block across 12 minutes during Tuesday's 111-106 victory over the Spurs.

Impact Steven Adams recently suffered a Grade 3 left ankle sprain and will be out indefinitely, creating an opportunity for Capela to see more minutes off the bench. But if Tuesday was any indication, the Rockets could also lean heavily on some small-ball lineups. For now, Capela is only worth monitoring in deeper formats.

Houston faces Philadelphia on 3-game win streak

Houston will attempt to build upon its three-game win streak with a victory against Philadelphia

Josh Okogie - Struggles in start Okogie racked up five points (2-2 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 0-3 FT), one rebound and one steal across 17 minutes during Tuesday's 111-106 victory over San Antonio.

Impact Okogie remained in the starting lineup, yet logged fewer than 20 minutes for the second straight game. With Ime Udoka seemingly against starting Reed Sheppard, Okogie has been able to stick as a meaningful part of the rotation despite his lack of production. As a player who is averaging 5.5 points and 1.0 steals in 19.5 minutes per game this season, Okogie warrants no real fantasy attention.

Tari Eason - Limited in return Eason ended with six points (3-6 FG), six rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal across 20 minutes during Tuesday's 111-106 victory over the Spurs.

Impact Eason returned from a five-game absence as a result of an ankle injury, logging 20 minutes off the bench. Prior to the injury, Eason had been playing his best basketball of the season, having started in eight straight games. While this wasn't his best performance, he is definitely someone who needs to be added in all formats moving forward.

Reed Sheppard - Standout performance in win Sheppard posted 21 points (8-17 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal across 29 minutes during Tuesday's 111-106 win over San Antonio.

Impact Sheppard reminded everyone what he is capable of when afforded meaningful minutes, scoring at least 20 points for just the second time in the past 16 games. Trailing by as much as 16 points, Houston was able to turn the tables late, on the back of some fantastic play by Sheppard. While this was certainly a standout performance, fantasy managers are right to remain skeptical given the lack of trust from Ime Udoka. If Sheppard was dropped in your league, he could be worth picking up, just in case this is the start of a turnaround.

Alperen Sengun had 20 points, 13 rebounds and nine assists to help the Houston Rockets rally for a 111-106 win over the San Antonio Spurs on Tuesday night

JANUARY 21 • Associated Press

Impact Sengun turned in a well-rounded performance in this one, securing his fourth double-double over his last five outings. The star big man finished as Houston's second-leading scorer and reached the 20-point mark for a third straight game. Furthermore, he led all players in rebounds and assists while making his presence felt on the defensive end. Sengun tied the game high in swats and has recorded a block in six consecutive contests.

Josh Okogie - Back in starting lineup Tuesday Okogie is in the Rockets' starting lineup against the Spurs on Tuesday, Will Guillory of The Athletic reports.

Impact Okogie was moved to the bench for Sunday's loss against the Pelicans after starting in the three prior games. However, he'll return to the starting lineup Tuesday in the absence of Steven Adams, who is out indefinitely due to a Grade 3 left ankle sprain that he suffered against New Orleans. As a starter this season, Okogie is averaging 6.8 points, 3.2 rebounds, 1.1 assists, 1.1 threes and 1.5 steals over 23.9 minutes per game.

Tari Eason - Won't start in return Eason (ankle) won't start Tuesday's game against the Spurs, Will Guillory of The Athletic reports.

Impact Eason is available to return from a five-game absence due to a right ankle sprain, though he'll come off the bench and could operate on a minutes restriction in his return. In 12 outings off the bench so far this season, the 24-year-old forward has averaged 11.2 points, 5.1 rebounds and 1.6 assists in 21.8 minutes per contest.

Steven Adams - Out indefinitely Head coach Ime Udoka said Tuesday that Adams suffered a "severely sprained, Grade 3 ankle sprain" and will be out indefinitely, Vanessa Richardson of Space City Home Network report...

Impact Adams sustained the ankle injury in Sunday's win over the Pelicans, and Udoka added that the Rockets are still gathering more information. With the veteran big man expected to miss an extended period, Clint Capela will likely see an uptick in playing time behind Alperen Sengun. In 32 regular-season appearances (11 starts) thus far, Adams has averaged 5.8 points and 8.6 rebounds across 22.8 minutes per tilt.

Tari Eason - Available to play Eason (ankle) is available for Tuesday's game versus the Spurs, Vanessa Richardson of Space City Home Network reports.

Impact Eason is set to return from a five-game absence Tuesday evening, so he'll likely have some minutes restrictions in his first game back. Eason's return will likely result in less playing time for Jae'Sean Tate, Josh Okogie and Dorian Finney-Smith.

Tari Eason - Iffy for Tuesday Eason (ankle) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Spurs.

Impact Eason is in jeopardy of missing his sixth consecutive contest due to a right ankle sprain. If the 24-year-old forward isn't cleared to return, Josh Okogie would likely see increased playing time, while Jae'Sean Tate could remain in the Houston rotation. In five appearances this month, Eason has averaged 13.4 points, 8.6 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.4 steals in 26.6 minutes per contest.
