Houston faces Los Angeles in a matchup of Western Conference teams

Rockets must consider this bold strategic shift when times get tough The Houston Rockets struggled with Alperen Sengun and Steven Adams absent on Saturday. One strategic shift could have helped their cause.

DECEMBER 7, 2025 • SPACECITYSCOOP.COM

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

Impact Alperen Sengun (illness) is doubtful for Saturday's game, so Clint Capela could be headed for a spot-start and Jeff Green could see meaningful minutes in the rotation. Adams' next chance to play will come Thursday against the Clippers.

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.

Starting sans Sengun Adams will start Friday's game against the Suns, Vanessa Richardson of Space City Home Network reports.

Friday night is the first leg of a back-to-back set, and Ime Udoka said pregame that Adams will be held out of Saturday's matchup with the Mavericks, per Will Guillory of The Athletic reports.

Given green light Adams (ankle) will play in Wednesday's game against Sacramento, Vanessa Richardson of Space City Home Network reports.

Impact Adams has been cleared to take the floor Wednesday night, though he'll do so as a member of the second unit. In 11 appearances off the bench this season, Adams is averaging 6.5 points and 9.0 rebounds across 19.1 minutes.

Questionable vs. Kings Adams (ankle) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Kings.

Impact The 32-year-old center is nursing right ankle tendinopathy. Houston tends to roll with a jumbo lineup, though it's possible Aaron Holiday would be the direct fantasy beneficiary of Adams' potential absence Wednesday if the Rockets opt to go a bit smaller.

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.

Good to go Sunday Adams (ankle) is available off the bench for Sunday's game against the Jazz, Vanessa Richardson of Space City Home Network reports.

Impact Adams will shed his questionable tag due to a right ankle issue after missing Wednesday's win over Golden State. In his last five outings off the bench, the veteran big man has averaged 6.2 points and 9.0 rebounds in 20.0 minutes per contest.

Questionable to play Sunday Adams (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Jazz.

Impact Adams has been a regular on the injury report due to a right ankle injury, but the questionable tag suggests the big man should have a chance to suit up this weekend. If Adams doesn't play, Clint Capela would be in line to take his place in the lineup.
