STEVEN ADAMS NEWS

Double-doubles in spot start Adams contributed 11 points (4-9 FG, 3-3 FT), 10 rebounds, three assists and one steal in 23 minutes during Thursday's 120-119 loss to Memphis.

Impact Adams got the start Thursday due to the absence of Alperen Sengun (calf), and the veteran big man had a solid showing on both ends of the court. Adams can't be relied upon to deliver these numbers consistently, but he's a solid streaming option in most formats whenever Sengun is out. That said, if Sengun is ready to return Saturday against the Nets, then Adams' fantasy upside will plummet considerably.

Cleared to play Adams (ankle) is available and starting Thursday's game against the Grizzlies, Danielle Lerner of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Impact Adams was given the green light to take part in shootaround earlier in the day and has since been cleared by the team's medical staff to suit up Thursday. The veteran center is averaging 5.6 points, 6.6 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.2 blocks over his last five games off the bench but should see more opportunities to produce in Alperen Sengun's (calf) place.

Iffy for Thursday Adams (ankle) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Grizzlies.

Impact The veteran big man was a late scratch in Tuesday's game against the Hawks with left ankle soreness, and Adams' status remains uncertain ahead of Thursday's action. Jock Landale came off Houston's bench for 16 minutes against Atlanta as the backup center in Adams' stead, and the former could play a big role down low for the Rockets if Alperen Sengun (calf) joins the latter on the sidelines against Memphis.
