Fantasy Impact: Landale played five minutes in Game 5, recording two points. However, he missed Game 6 with a right knee contusion and will remain sidelined for Game 7. His absence will not impact the Rockets’ rotation.

Jalen Green scored two points (0-7 FG, 0-1 3PT, 2-2 FT) to go along with two rebounds and two assists in the Rockets 126-111 loss against the Nuggets.

Fantasy Impact: It was not an ideal end to the regular season for Green in what was a meaningless game for Houston. He'll be needed to bounce back for Houston in the playoffs.

Fred VanVleet scored 15 points (5-13 FG, 3-8 3PT, 2-3 FT) to go along with three assists and one steal in the Rockets 126-111 loss against the Nuggets.

Fantasy Impact: As was the case for the whole team, VanVleet was playing limited minutes in the regular season finale. The Rockets will play either the Warriors or Grizzlies in round one of the playoffs.

Alperen Sengun scored 14 points (7-14 FG) to go along with five rebounds, four assists and one block in the Rockets 126-111 loss against the Nuggets.

Fantasy Impact: Sengun was limited to just 24 minutes to end the regular season. The Rockets will wait for the play-in tournament to see who they are playing in round one.

Amen Thompson scored 15 points (6-9 FG, 0-1 3PT, 3-4 FT) to go along with six rebounds, six assists, one steal and one block in the Rockets 126-111 loss against the Nuggets.

Fantasy Impact: Thompson was limited to just 26 minutes in the regular season finale. He did what he usually does with production on both sides of the floor. It has been a breakout year for him as the Rockets head into the playoffs as the No. 2 seed.

Jae'Sean Tate is considered week-to-week with his back injury.

Fantasy Impact: Tate's return for the playoffs is up in the air. He hasn't played a huge role when he has been healthy.

Jabari Smith Jr. has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Nuggets.

Fantasy Impact: Smith has been ruled out after being left off the initial injury report. Cam Whitmore should see more run in his place.

Fantasy Impact: The Rockets have determined that Eason will be sidelined on Friday as part of the injury management for his leg issue. He should be back in the near future, and his absence will lead to more work for Cam Whitmore and Jeff Green for now.

Fantasy Impact: The Rockets will let Brooks take another rest game on Friday against the Lakers. It remains to be seen whether or not he will be back for the team's final game of the season on Sunday, but that's looking like a long shot at this point. Jeff Green will see more work for the time being.

Aaron Holiday scored 16 points (6-13 FG, 4-6 3PT) and dished out four assists in Wednesday's 134-117 loss to the Los Angeles Clippers.

Fantasy Impact: Holiday was productive on Wednesday. He finished Wednesday's game with 16 points across 20 minutes of action, although it wasn't enough to help Houston draw close to a win over the Clippers. Fantasy managers shouldn't have high expectations for him moving forward.

Jeff Green scored 19 points (7-9 FG, 4-6 3PT) and grabbed three rebounds in Wednesday's 134-117 loss to the Los Angeles Clippers.

Fantasy Impact: Green saw just 19 minutes of action on Wednesday. He was able to score 19 points in that time while missing just two shots from the field, which left him with a strong fantasy total on the night. He won't see as much work whenever Amen Thompson (rest) and Jabari Smith Jr. (groin) are back in the lineup for Houston.

Reed Sheppard put up 20 points (7-14 FG, 6-10 3PT) to go with five rebounds and two steals in Wednesday's 134-117 loss to the Los Angeles Clippers.

Fantasy Impact: Sheppard saw a sharp increase in opportunities on Wednesday with Amen Thompson (rest) and Fred VanVleet (ankle) both sidelined for the Rockets. He was able to do well with his increased run, leading the team with 20 points on great efficiency from beyond the arc. He won't be valuable whenever Thompson or VanVleet make their return to the lineup.

Cam Whitmore scored 14 points (6-12 FG, 1-4 3PT, 1-2 FT) and grabbed five rebounds in Wednesday's 134-117 loss to the Los Angeles Clippers.

Fantasy Impact: The Rockets were missing several key players on Wednesday, which left Whitmore with more work against the Clippers. He was able to turn that into a solid 14 points on the night, but he isn't expected to see this much work on a game-to-game basis in the future.

Steven Adams totaled eight points (4-7 FG), 12 rebounds, two steals, and one block in the Rockets' 125-111 win over the Thunder.

Fantasy Impact: Adams anchored the glass with a team-high 12 rebounds while adding some sneaky value with two steals and a block. Although his offensive role is minimal, his rebounding and defensive contributions remain reliable for managers in need of big-man stats. Adams holds strong value in category formats, especially for boards and stocks.

Nate Williams totaled zero points in two minutes in the Rockets’ 111-104 win over the Suns.

Fantasy Impact: Williams has yet to find a meaningful role since joining the Rockets, logging just two minutes in this one without making an impact. While he showed promise in his rookie season, his move to a developing Houston squad has placed him firmly outside the rotation. Should injuries hit the Rockets’ backcourt, he could see an opportunity to carve out a role, but for now, he remains off the fantasy radar in all formats. He’s a name to keep in mind for the future, but there’s no actionable move here at this time.

The Rockets waived Cody Zeller. (Source: Shams Charania on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Zeller was not expected to join the Rockets after he was traded to them at the deadline.
