Top Rockets News

  • Rockets' Jabari Smith: Scores 15 points in loss

    Smith notched 15 points (6-14 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and one block across 32 minutes during Wednesday's 134-124 loss to the Nuggets.

    Smith had his plate full on both ends of the court Wednesday since he had to deal with the frontcourt of Michael Porter and Nikola Jokic. He had a fair share of struggles on defense, but he still posted a decent stat line even when his shot wasn't entirely accurate. Smith remains prone to having quite a few ups and downs, which is expected from a second-year player, but the progress is noticeable compared to his rookie year. Smith has scored in double digits in six consecutive games and is averaging 16.0 points with 9.0 rebounds per game in that span.

  • Rockets' Alperen Sengun: Stuffs stat sheet in loss

    Sengun had 22 points (10-18 FG, 2-6 3Pt), seven rebounds, four assists and one steal in 28 minutes during Wednesday's 134-124 loss to the Nuggets.

    Sengun had the daunting task of dealing with Nikola Jokic, and while the Serbian star finished with a triple-double as Denver secured the victory, Sengun made his presence felt as well with contributions on both ends of the court. The young center is one of the most versatile big men in the league, and the numbers back that up, as Sengun is averaging 23.0 points, 10.2 rebounds, 5.2 assists and 1.2 blocks per game over his last six outings.

  • Rockets' Jalen Green: Comes close to double-double

    Green closed with 26 points (8-12 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 5-6 FT), six rebounds, nine assists and one block in 34 minutes during Wednesday's 134-124 loss to the Nuggets.

    Green had one of his best performances of the season, as he was handed more responsibility on offense with Fred VanVleet (thumb) out, but he responded admirably while ending just one assist shy of what would've been his first double-double of the season. Green hasn't been very consistent with his scoring figures of late but seems to be turning a corner after scoring at least 25 points in three of his last four outings.

  • Rockets' Aaron Holiday: Starting sans VanVleet

    Holiday is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Nuggets, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    Holiday will replace VanVleet (thumb) in the starting five Wednesday. Holiday will make his first starting appearance this season and will likely be relied upon to play extended minutes with Amen Thompson (ankle) still out as well.

  • Rockets' Tari Eason: Good to go Wednesday

    Eason (leg) will play in Wednesday's game against Denver.

    Despite popping up on the injury report with a leg injury, Eason will give it a go against the Nuggets. Over his last three appearances, Eason is averaging 8.0 points, 5.7 rebounds and 1.7 steals/blocks over 18.7 minutes.

  • Rockets' Jae'Sean Tate: Ruled out Wednesday

    Tate won't play in Wednesday's game versus the Nuggets due to left knee soreness.

    Tate will miss his first game of the season on the second leg of Houston's back-to-back Wednesday due to left knee soreness. With Tari Eason (leg) questionable, Reggie Bullock and Jeff Green could be in store for extended minutes. Tate's next chance to suit up is Saturday's matchup with the Lakers.

  • Rockets' Victor Oladipo: Won't play Wednesday

    Oladipo (knee) is out for Wednesday's game versus the Nuggets.

    Oladipo has yet to suit up this season while recovering from left knee surgery. His next chance to play is Saturday's matchup with the Lakers, though he can be considered doubtful until the team releases an update on his rehab progress.

  • Rockets' Fred VanVleet: Won't play Wednesday

    VanVleet (thumb) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Nuggets.

    VanVleet was probable for Tuesday's game against Dallas due to his left thumb sprain but was able to play through the issue. However, he'll be unavailable for the second half of the back-to-back set. With Jae'Sean Tate (knee) also sidelined, Aaron Holiday is a candidate to see plenty of run against Denver.

  • Rockets' Tari Eason: Questionable against Denver

    Eason (leg) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game versus the Nuggets.

    Eason has played in Houston's last three contests but could sit out the second leg of the team's back-to-back Wednesday due to left lower leg soreness. Reggie Bullock and Jeff Green would be candidates to receive extended minutes if Eason is ruled out.

  • Rockets' Aaron Holiday: Plays well with second unit

    Holiday closed Tuesday's 121-115 loss to the Mavericks with eight points (3-8 FG, 2-4 3Pt), four rebounds and four assists across 21 minutes.

    Holiday has been a significant part of Houston's second unit and has played really well in recent games. Over his last four outings, Holiday has averaged 8.8 points, 2.8 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.8 three-pointers in 20.2 minutes per contest.

  • Rockets' Alperen Sengun: Looks great despite loss

    Sengun totaled 31 points (10-19 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 11-14 FT), nine rebounds, six assists and one block over 35 minutes during Tuesday's 121-115 loss to the Mavericks.

    There's no longer any doubt that Sengun is the focal point of Houston's offense. Over his last eight games, Sengun averaged 23.3 points, 9.8 rebounds, 4.9 assists and 1.3 blocks. He does have some flaws in category leagues due to high turnovers and a below-average free-throw percentage, but it's hard to complain about his recent production.

  • Rockets' Victor Oladipo: Remains out Tuesday

    Oladipo (knee) is out for Tuesday's game against Dallas.

    Oladipo has not played this season and details have been scarce on his recovery. There has been no indication he will be a factor for Houston in 2023-24.
