Steven Adams - Cleared to play Saturday Adams (ankle) has been cleared to play in Saturday's game against the Mavericks.
Impact After missing Thursday's loss to the Timberwolves, Adams will be available to return to the floor Saturday in Dallas. In 35 games this season, the veteran big man has averaged career-low numbers in points (3.8) and rebounds (5.2) but could be turning things around with two double-digit rebound performances in the last four games for Houston.

Mike Conley - Questionable to face Portland Conley (finger) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game versus the Trail Blazers.
Impact Conley is in jeopardy of missing his second contest since Jan. 30 due to a right index finger sprain. If the veteran point guard is sidelined, Rob Dillingham and Nickeil Alexander-Walker will likely see an uptick in playing time, especially if Anthony Edwards (hip) is also ruled out.

Anthony Edwards - Iffy for Saturday Edwards is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against Portland due to right hip soreness.
Impact Edwards is in jeopardy of missing just his second game of the season due to the hip issue. If the superstar is sidelined, Nickeil Alexander-Walker and Jaylen Clark could see an uptick in playing time. Over his last five outings, Edwards has averaged 36.0 points, 7.0 rebounds, 5.8 assists, 2.0 blocks and 1.0 steals in 37.6 minutes per contest.
