Dorian Finney-Smith - Chance to return Christmas Day Finney-Smith (ankle) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Lakers.
Impact Finney-Smith has yet to appear in a game this season as he continues to recover from an offseason ankle surgery. The veteran forward was eyeing a January return, but it looks like he's slightly ahead of schedule. If cleared to face the Lakers on Christmas Day, Finney-Smith would likely be under a significant minutes restriction. Still, his return could mean fewer opportunities for Jae'Sean Tate or Josh Okogie.

Alperen Sengun - Questionable Thursday Sengun is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Lakers due to left calf tightness.
Impact Sengun is at risk of missing the Rockets' game on Christmas Day due to a calf injury. If the standout center were to miss the contest, Steven Adams, Clint Capela and Jabari Smith would handle most of the center duties. In his last six games, Sengun is averaging 23.0 points, 9.8 rebounds, 6.2 assists, 2.2 steals and 1.2 blocks across 35.5 minutes.

Jae'Sean Tate - Questionable for Christmas Day Tate is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Lakers due to a left wrist contusion.
Impact Tate may have picked up the injury during the Rockets' loss to the Clippers on Tuesday, when he played 14 minutes and finished with seven points (3-4 FG, 1-1 FT), three rebounds, three assists and one block. His playing time has fluctuated over the course of the season, but if he was not cleared to play Christmas Day, then Reed Sheppard and Tari Eason would be in line for more rotational minutes off the bench.
