Ruled out for Saturday Adams is out for Saturday's game in Dallas due to right ankle tendinopathy.

Grabs eight boards in start Adams finished with four points (2-4 FG), eight rebounds, three assists, two blocks and two steals over 30 minutes during Friday's 117-98 win over Phoenix.

Impact Adams moved into the starting lineup for the fifth time this season, replacing Alperen Sengun, who was ruled out due to illness. As usual, Adams filled in admirably, including recording a season-high four combined steals and blocks. Sengun is unlikely to miss a significant amount of time, meaning Adams should be viewed as nothing more than a streaming option for those needing rebounds.

Won't play Monday Adams (rest) won't play Monday against the Jazz.

Impact Monday's game is the second leg of a back-to-back set, so the Rockets will hold out the veteran for maintenance reasons. In Adams' absence, Clint Capela is likely to see an uptick in minutes in the frontcourt.

Double-double off bench Sunday Adams closed with 13 points (2-4 FG, 9-10 FT), 12 rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 17 minutes off the bench during Sunday's 129-101 victory over Utah.

Impact After sitting out Wednesday's win over the Warriors due to a minor ankle injury, Adams was back in the lineup, although he remained on the second unit while the Rockets take a longer look at Reed Sheppard in the starting five. The veteran center's double-double was his third of the season in 15 games, and with Houston having won three straight road games with Sheppard as a starter, Adams could continue primarily coming off the bench for a while.
