Thabo Sefolosha

Adrian Wojnarowski has reported that Houston Rockets forward Thabo Sefolosha has decided to sit out the Orlando restart.

Fantasy Impact

The 14-year vet will join a whole slew of other NBA players who have chosen not to play during the Orlando restart. In the 41 games in which he appeared this season, Sefolosha only put up 2.2 points while only seeing 10.6 minutes a night, so it's not the end of the world for Houston. Look for Jeff Green and DeMarre Carroll to see a slight uptick in minutes to fill the void left by Sefolosha.

Thabo Sefolosha produced four points (1-2 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, three steals, one assist and a block across 18 minutes in the Rockets’ 117-109 win over the Pelicans on Sunday.

Sefolosha logged one of his highest minute totals of the season, and he turned that increased playing time into a well-rounded stat line. The 35-year-old forward has seen his court time fluctuate this season, though he's averaged just 10.5 minutes in 33 contests and doesn't need to be on fantasy rosters, even in deep leagues.

Thabo Sefolosha compiled seven points (3-4 FG, 1-2 3PT) three rebounds, two steals, and one assist across Saturday’s 158-111 win over the Hawks.

Sefolsha logged a season-high two steals and played double figures in minutes for the seventh time in eight games. With Daniel House and Eric Gordon sidelined, Sefolosha has seen an uptick in minutes. Sefolosha can be used as a streamer in deep league formats. The Rockets next scheduled game is Tuesday, away against the Spurs.

The Rockets are planning to sign Thabo Sefolosha, formerly of the Jazz, to a one-year contract worth the minimum.

Fantasy Impact

Thabo has primarily been known for his strong defensive play. At age 35 however, he is unlikely to see much time on the court, and will not be a fantasy option.

Thabo Sefolosha will not play on Saturday due to a nagging hamstring injury.

Fantasy Impact

Sefolosha is off the fantasy map so continue to leave him on the waiver wire. Jae Crowder and Kyle Korver will pick up a couple more minutes.
