Steven Adams DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

Houston Rockets center Steven Adams (ankle) is not on the injury report against the Warriors, even though there was an earlier report that the 31-year-old would sit out since the Rockets were playing the second half of a back-to-back set of games. Adams had five points and six rebounds while playing just 10 minutes against the Suns, so maybe the lighter workload is part of why he can bounce back and play again on Thursday. He has been dealing with an ankle injury that has had him in and out of the lineup, but it looks like he'll be available to serve as the primary backup for Alperen Sengun in the Rockets' last game before the All-Star break.

Houston Rockets center Steven Adams (ankle) will be held out of the team's second game in a back-to-back situation on Thursday against the Golden State Warriors. Adams has recently been in and out of the lineup due to an ankle injury. He will be rested against the Warriors after Adams registered five points and six rebounds in 10 minutes Wednesday night in a 119-111 win over the Phoenix Suns. Jock Landale and Jeff Green didn't see the court on Wednesday and will be fully rested to back up Alperen Sengun. However, the two don't have any fantasy value.

Houston Rockets center Steven Adams (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Thursday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. The big man only managed to play 13 minutes during Tuesday's game and appears to be dealing with a left ankle injury. His absence should mean that Jock Landale will be asked to be the primary backup to Alperen Sengun. There probably won't be enough playing time available for Landale to be worth a look as a streaming option on Thursday. The next chance for Adams to play will be Saturday against the Dallas Mavericks.

Houston Rockets center Steven Adams (ankle) is available on Thursday against Memphis. The veteran was in danger of missing this contest because of ankle soreness. However, he'll be out there and will get the start in place of Alperen Sengun (calf), who will miss his first game of the 2024-25 campaign. Adams has averaged only 3.2 points and 4.8 rebounds this season. Yet, it's logical to assume he'll be more productive, so he has some streaming value for fantasy managers. Adams will likely also draw value attention from DFS participants. The same can be said for Jock Landale, who will come off the bench behind Adams.

Houston Rockets center Steven Adams (ankle) will not be available for Tuesday's contest against the Atlanta Hawks. He landed on the injury report late with left ankle soreness. Adams played 14 minutes in Monday's win over the Boston Celtics, notching four points and four rebounds. Jock Landale should take over his minutes as the backup center on Tuesday. As Alperen Sengun is fully healthy, Landale likely won't play enough to warrant fantasy selection.
