Houston Rockets DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Houston Rockets forwardTari Eason(leg) is unavailable against the San Antonio Spurs on Wednesday. Eason is out due to leg injury management and is getting a rest day for the second half of back-to-back games. The 23-year-old finished with 12 points, six rebounds, two steals, one assist, and one block in 32 minutes of work in a 100-97 win over the Bucks on Tuesday. With Eason sidelined, forward Jabari Smith will likely be in the starting lineup and may have some fantasy upside with extra minutes on the floor.

Houston Rockets forward Jae'Sean Tate (back) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's matchup against the Milwaukee Bucks. He might have to sit out a second straight game due to back spasms. This season, Tate has struggled to earn a meaningful role in the rotation, so his absence does not have a big impact. Jeff Green, Tari Eason, and Cam Whitmore may pick up a bit of extra work off the bench with Tate out of the lineup.

Houston Rockets center Steven Adams (ankle) looks set to return to the lineup on Tuesday against the Milwaukee Bucks, as the team hasn't listed him on the injury report. Adams missed Saturday's matchup against the Utah Jazz as Houston completed a back-to-back set. On Tuesday, the veteran big man will provide additional depth in the frontcourt behind starting center Alperen Sengun. Adams is a fantasy afterthought these days, with him averaging 3.6 points and 5.2 rebounds in 12.4 minutes.

Houston Rockets forward Tari Eason (leg) is not on the injury report for Tuesday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. He missed the last game against the Utah Jazz as he continued to manage a lower leg injury, and the team completed a back-to-back set. Eason has been a starter in each of his last five appearances, but Jabari Smith Jr.'s return to action hurts his chances of maintaining the role going forward. This hurts Eason's fantasy appeal, though he has also been productive coming off the bench, averaging 11.2 points, 6.3 rebounds, and 1.9 steals as a member of the second unit this season.

Houston Rockets guard/forward Dillon Brooks (illness) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's matchup against the Milwaukee Bucks. Brooks has been ever-present for Houston in 2025 but might have to exit the lineup on Tuesday due to an illness. Fred VanVleet (ankle), who is close to returning to the starting lineup, may fill his spot in the starting lineup. Cam Whitmore and Tari Eason (leg) are also potential options to move into the first unit, with the latter having been removed from the injury report.
