Fantasy Impact: Nix has been in Houston for the past couple of seasons, but now he's signing with the Timberwolves and will be playing in Minnesota next season. He only averaged four points per game on some inefficient shooting splits, so it's unlikely that he will find any sort of fantasy value here on his new team.

Fantasy Impact: Marjanović was traded to Houston last season in the deal that sent Christian Wood to the Mavericks. He will be a good veteran for the Rockets in the locker room, but he is not on the fantasy radar.

Fantasy Impact: Martin is coming off a career season with Houston, averaging over 12 points and five rebounds while starting 49 games. He figures to add some youth to the Clippers rotation and should bolster the depth in the front court. His overall role may drop a tad bit joining a deeper rotation, but he'll offer fantasy managers streaming appeal in certain spot starts.

Tari Eason recorded 16 points (6-11 FG, 1-3 3P, 3-4 FT), eight rebounds, four assists, one block, and two turnovers across 27 minutes in Sunday's 114-109 win over the Wizards.

Fantasy Impact: Eason recorded seven double-doubles in his rookie campaign and saw big minutes at times throughout the season. The LSU product has a diverse skill set and figures to be a valuable young piece for the Rockets future. Eason finished off the season averaging 21.5 minutes, 9.3 points, 6.0 rebounds, and 1.2 steals per games across all 82 games this season.

Kevin Porter Jr. recorded 26 points (7-13 FG, 2-5 3P, 10-12 FT), three rebounds, five assists, two steals, and three turnovers across 38 minutes in Friday's 112-109 win over the Hornets.

Fantasy Impact: Porter Jr. has been consistently putting up quality scoring totals with six straight games scoring at least 20 points. The 22-year-old has been an underrated fantasy asset all season when healthy. At only 22 years of age, he is still developing while already being a quality multi-dimensional fantasy player. Next up, the Rockets play the Wizards to close out the season on Sunday in D.C.

Alperen Sengun recorded 14 points (4-9 FG, 1-1 3P, 5-6 FT), 21 rebounds, three assists, two steals, one block and four turnovers across 32 minutes in Friday's 112-109 win over the Hornets.

Fantasy Impact: Not only did Sengun record his fifth consecutive double-double, but he gobbled up a career-high 21 rebounds in 32 minutes. The 20-year-old has been a stat monster by making impacts in steals, blocks, and assists on top of the double-doubles. The big man's stock continues to rise as he closes out his breakout sophomore campaign. Next up, the Rockets play the Wizards to close out the season on Sunday in D.C.

Jabari Smith Jr. recorded 16 points (6-14 FG, 0-1 3P, 4-5 FT), 13 rebounds, one assist, one steal, and one block across 36 minutes in Tuesday's 124-103 win over the Nuggets.

Fantasy Impact: Smith Jr. is up to 16 double-doubles in 77 games games this season. The rookie has delivered a double-double in four of his last five games. This type of late-season consistency in minutes and production comes as no surprise for the talented 19-year-old. Next up, the Rockets play the Hornets on the road on Friday.

Jalen Green recorded 32 points (12-27 FG, 4-8 3P, 4-4 FT), six rebounds, four assists, one steal, and three turnovers across 39 minutes in Tuesday's 124-103 win over the Nuggets.

Fantasy Impact: Green recorded his 16th game this season with 30 or more points on Tuesday. Six of said games have occurred since March 1st. The 21-year-old is a dynamic scorer who is seeing massive minutes as of late. Consequently, he is an excellent fantasy option. Next up, the Rockets play the Hornets on the road on Friday.

Fantasy Impact: Tate has been out for multiple weeks because of a knee injury, and he will miss another game because of it on Sunday. It's unclear when he will be well enough to make his return to the court for the Rockets, and Kenyon Martin Jr. will continue to get more work until then.

TyTy Washington Jr. recorded 15 points (5-12 FG, 3-6 3P, 2-3 FT), two rebounds, four assists, two steals, and one turnover across 34 minutes in Friday's 116-101 loss to the Warriors.

Fantasy Impact: With both Jalen Green and Kevin Porter Jr. still sidelined due to injury, Washington Jr. was the only true guard in the Rockets starting lineup. The Kentucky product knocked down three three-pointers which supplied most of his value. The 21-year-old is in line to continue to start as long as Green and Porter Jr. are inactive. Next up, the Rockets play the Trail Blazers on the road on Sunday.

Danny Green will sign a one-year, $2 million deal with the Cleveland Cavaliers once he clears waivers. (Source: Shams Charania on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: The Cavs were among the frontrunners to land the veteran after he was bought out by the Rockets. His role in the Cavs' rotation will become more clear in the coming weeks, but he should be able to provide some nice depth and shooting to a very good Cavaliers team.

John Wall has been traded to the Houston Rockets in a three-team deal. He will most likely be waived by the Rockets. (Source: Shams Charania on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Danny Green to the Rockets as well along with Luke Kennard to the Grizzlies, and Eric Gordon and three second-round picks to the Clippers. Wall has been dealing with an abdomen injury as of late and will likely end up somewhere other than Houston when it's all said and done.

Eric Gordon has been traded to the Clippers in a three-team deal. (Source: Shams Charania on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: The deal sends John Wall and Danny Green to the Rockets, Luke Kennard to the Grizzlies, and three second-round picks to the Clippers as well. Gordon has been a solid contributor to the Rockets and will look to have a similar role on the Clippers who are in need of some shooting. He has averaged 13.1 points per game this season.

Garrison Mathews (illness) will make his return for Friday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. (Source: Adam Spolane on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Matthews has been sidelined for close to a week while battling a non-covid illness, and he is finally well enough to make his return to the court. The team will likely monitor his conditioning, and his presence doesn't project to have any fantasy implications for relevant Houston players.

Bruno Fernando recorded 14 points (7-8 FG), seven rebounds, one assist, and one steal across 14 minutes in Friday's 122-121 win over the Suns.

Fantasy Impact: Fernando was very efficient from the field en route to his best game this season. Friday was only his sixth game played this season. Consequently, we will need to see some sustained production before Fernando can be fantasy relevant. The Rockets play the Warriors in San Francisco on Saturday.

Usman Garuba recorded 12 points (5-5 FG, 2-2 3P), nine rebounds, three assists, and three blocks across 22 minutes in Wednesday's 101-92 win over the Mavericks.

Fantasy Impact: Garuba set a career-high in points and tied his career-high in blocks on Wednesday. The 20-year-old is seeing an uptick in minutes in November compared to October. Keep an eye on if the power forward's minutes and production can stay on the rise. The Rockets play the Pacers in Houston on Friday.
