Rockets' Steven Adams: Grabs eight boards Friday
Adams finished with four points (2-2 FG, 0-2 FT), eight rebounds, one assist and one steal over 20 minutes during Friday's 102-98 victory over the Heat.
Adams continues to do his job to perfection, providing the Rockets with a veteran presence in the middle. Despite playing as the backup behind Alperen Sengun, his impact on the game is obvious. He is one of the better per-minute rebounders in the league, averaging 5.4 boards in just 13.2 minutes per game this season.

Rockets' Fred VanVleet: Lands nine triples in win
VanVleet finished with 37 points (13-17 FG, 9-11 3Pt, 2-4 FT), three assists and three steals across 36 minutes during Friday's 102-98 win over Miami.
VanVleet put his recent shooting woes behind him, connecting on nine three-pointers en route to a team-high 37 points. Efficiency has been an issue for the veteran all season, making this a much-needed performance. The Rockets are a better team with VanVleet at the helm, providing the team with direction and purpose. Assuming he can stay healthy, he should continue to guide the team around the court as they prepare for the playoffs.

Rockets' Amen Thompson: Dominates in return
Thompson closed Friday's 102-98 victory over the Heat with 18 points (8-14 FG, 2-3 FT), nine rebounds, five assists, one block and seven steals over 35 minutes.
Thompson returned to the court after missing the past six games due to an ankle injury. Demonstrating that it is possible to return from an injury without requiring a ramp-up period, Thompson moved straight into the starting lineup, playing without a minutes' restriction. He picked up where he left off, tallying a career-high seven steals while falling one rebound short of a double-double. Barring any setbacks, Thompson should be good to go as the Rockets look to build momentum heading into the playoffs.

Rockets' Tari Eason: Returning to bench role
Eason is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Heat, Lachard Binkley of SI.com reports.
The Rockets will welcome Amen Thompson back in the starting lineup with no restrictions for this contest, so Eason will return to the bench. Eason averaged 17.1 points, 6.6 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 1.9 steals and 1.1 blocks per game in his previous seven starts, and he's expected to see decent minutes off the bench.

Rockets' Amen Thompson: Full go Friday
Thompson will play without a minutes restriction and enter the starting five for Friday's game versus the Heat, Vanessa Richardson of Space City Home Network reports.
Thompson is set to play his full workload against Miami after missing Houston's previous six contests due to a sprained left ankle. Thompson has averaged 15.0 points, 9.9 rebounds, 5.5 assists and 1.3 blocks in 36.4 minutes across his last 10 appearances.

Rockets' Amen Thompson: Expected to play against Miami
Thompson (ankle) is listed as probable for Friday's game versus the Heat.
Thompson is expected to return to action Friday after missing Houston's previous six outings due to a sprained left ankle. While the 22-year-old could reclaim his starting spot from Tari Eason, he will likely operate on a minutes restriction.

Rockets' Tari Eason: Tallies five swipes in win
Eason posted 16 points (7-10 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds, four assists, one block and five steals in 32 minutes during Wednesday's 116-108 victory over the Magic.
Eason made his seventh straight Wednesday and is averaging 17.1 points, 6.6 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 1.9 steals and 1.1 blocks in 30.9 minutes over that span. Only Hawks guard Dyson Daniels (3.0) averages more than Eason's 1.9 steals per contest this season.

Rockets' Fred VanVleet: Solid line in win over Orlando
VanVleet logged 19 points (4-15 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 8-8 FT), six rebounds, three assists and one steal in 36 minutes during Wednesday's 116-108 win over Orlando.
There have been quite a few ups and downs in VanVleet's five games since returning from a prolonged absence -- he made just one appearance between Feb. 3 and March 10. This game was undoubtedly a step in the right direction. While VanVleet will remain a reliable fantasy option for the Rockets as long as he stays healthy, his upside right now won't be the highest due to the inconsistencies he's showing on a game-to-game basis.

Rockets' Jalen Green: Puts up 26 points in win
Green notched 26 points (8-18 FG, 3-11 3Pt, 7-10 FT), seven rebounds and two assists in 37 minutes during Wednesday's 116-108 win over Orlando.
Green surpassed the 20-point mark for the fifth consecutive game, and while Alperen Sengun has been one of the most reliable scoring weapons for Houston all season long, Green can take over the offense on some stretches. That seems to be the case now, as this is the fifth time he's recorded at least four consecutive games with at least 20 points. The star guard is averaging 20.7 points, 5.8 rebounds and 4.9 assists per game since the beginning of March.

Rockets' Alperen Sengun: Posts strong double-double
Sengun registered 22 points (9-18 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 12 rebounds and four assists in 37 minutes during Wednesday's 116-108 victory over Orlando.
Sengun posted a double-double for the fourth straight game, and the fifth time over his last six appearances, as he remains a capable two-way player who can also fill the stat sheet from time to time. Firmly entrenched as one of the go-to options on offense for Houston, Sengun is averaging a robust line of 20.6 points, 10.1 rebounds, 5.4 assists, 0.9 steals and 0.7 blocks per game since the beginning of March.

Rockets' Jae'Sean Tate: Sees 22 minutes off bench
Tate registered seven points (3-5 FG, 1-2 3Pt), seven rebounds and one assist across 22 minutes during Monday's 144-137 overtime win over the 76ers.
Tate has eclipsed 20 minutes in back-to-back games for Houston, taking advantage of some extra minutes due to Amen Thompson (ankle) being out. In those two games, Tate has averaged 7.0 points, 5.5 rebounds, 1.0 assists, 1.0 blocks and 1.0 three-pointers. He's trending up as a streaming option in very deep leagues.

Rockets' Jabari Smith: Scores season-high 30 points
Smith posted 30 points (11-17 FG, 5-7 3Pt, 3-4 FT), eight rebounds, three assists and two steals across 39 minutes during Monday's 144-137 overtime victory over the 76ers.
Smith has been alternating between the starting lineup and a bench role since mid-February, and it's undeniable that this was his best game of the season -- not only off the bench but in general since he established a new season-high mark in scoring. The lack of consistency in his role limits Smith's upside in most fantasy formats, but he should remain a decent option, at least as a streaming alternative.

Rockets' Dillon Brooks: Stuffs stat sheet, fouls out
Brooks had 25 points (8-19 FG, 5-11 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six rebounds, five assists, one block and two steals in 40 minutes before fouling out of Monday's 144-137 overtime victory over the 76ers.
Brooks reached the 25-point plateau for the sixth time this season, and even though he's not known for being a reliable scoring weapon, there's no doubt he's going through a prolific stretch of late. The veteran forward is averaging 16.9 points, 3.4 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 0.8 steals per game since the beginning of March.
