Fred VanVleet - Off injury report for Friday VanVleet (hamstring) is not listed on the injury report ahead of Friday's matchup against the Clippers.
Impact VanVleet played through the left hamstring soreness during Wednesday's win over the Clippers, and he is expected to shoulder his normal workload in Friday's rematch. The 30-year-old has struggled from the field while shooting 37.3 percent through 11 regular-season outings, and he has averaged 13.4 points, 5.7 assists, 4.0 rebounds and 1.7 steals across 35.5 minutes per game.

Steven Adams - Listed questionable for Friday Adams (knee) is questionable for Friday's game against the Clippers.
Impact Adams didn't step on the court in Wednesday's win over the Clippers, but the extra day of rest might benefit him. The Rockets are being very cautious with the veteran big man, but if he's deemed available for Friday's game, he should slot in as Alperen Sengun's primary backup option ahead of Jock Landale.

Alperen Sengün - Fills stat sheet Wednesday Sengun finished Wednesday's 111-103 victory over the Clippers with 13 points (6-14 FG, 1-2 3Pt), 11 rebounds, six assists, four blocks and one steal over 30 minutes.
Impact Sengun was impressive Wednesday and made his presence felt on both ends of the court while dominating Ivica Zubac, who entered this game on a run of three straight double-doubles. Sengun remains one of the most consistent and productive big men in the NBA, and he's an absolute stud in fantasy thanks to his averages of 19.0 points, 10.9 rebounds, 4.3 assists and 2.1 blocks per game in seven outings since the beginning of November. He also has five double-doubles in that span.

Jalen Green - Goes for 21 points Wednesday Green finished Wednesday's 111-103 win over the Clippers with 21 points (7-21 FG, 5-14 3Pt, 2-3 FT), seven rebounds and five assists over 36 minutes.
Impact Green reached the 20-point plateau for the first time since Nov. 6, snapping a three-game drought in which he didn't do so. However, the solid scoring output was more based on volume rather than efficiency, as he needed 21 shots to reach that mark. Green has been struggling with efficiency of late, making just 33.6 percent of his shots and 28.6 percent of his threes since the beginning of November.

Fred VanVleet - Scores 15 points in return VanVleet posted 15 points (6-18 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five rebounds, five assists, two blocks and two steals in 34 minutes during Wednesday's 111-103 victory over the Clippers.
Impact The final stat line might look decent on the surface for VanVleet, who returned to the starting unit after a one-game absence due to left hamstring soreness, but it doesn't change the fact that the veteran floor general is having a tough start to the season. He's getting his numbers as a scorer and playmaker, but overall, VanVleet is averaging a mere 13.4 points and 5.7 assists per game while shooting 37.3 percent from the field. To put things into context, these are the veteran's worst numbers in the six years in which he's been an established starter at the NBA level.

Amen Thompson - Slides back to bench Thompson won't start Wednesday's game against the Clippers.
Impact Thompson tallied 13 points, eight rebounds and eight combined steals-plus-blocks during a spot start Monday. However, the guard will shift back to the second unit now that Fred VanVleet is healthy. Thompson is averaging 10 points, 5.9 rebounds and 2.1 assists in 24.1 minutes over 10 appearances off the bench.

Jock Landale - Ruled in Wednesday Landale (shoulder) will play in Wednesday's game against the Clippers.
Impact Landale was labeled probable for Wednesday's tilt due to a strained left shoulder and, as expected, will suit up to face the Clippers. With Steven Adams (knee) idle for the contest, Landale should be Alperen Sengun's primary backup.

The veteran guard is off to a rough start this season, averaging 13.2 points and 5.8 assists while shooting only 37.9 percent from the field.

Jock Landale - Expected to play Wednesday Landale (shoulder) is listed as probable for Wednesday's game versus the Clippers.
Impact Landale strained his shoulder during Sunday's game against Houston. While results from the MRI the 29-year-old big man was set to undergo have yet to be released, it appears he has avoided a serious injury. With Steven Adams (knee) deemed questionable against the Clippers, Landale could operate as the team's backup center behind Alperen Sengun.

Steven Adams - Questionable for Wednesday Adams (knee) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Clippers.
Impact Adams has been used sparingly this season while recovering from a right knee injury. The big man has appeared in five regular-season games thus far, during which he has averaged 3.4 points and 3.6 rebounds across 13.6 minutes per game. If Adams is able to give it a go, he will likely compete for playing time with Jock Landale (shoulder) behind Alperen Sengun.

Impact VanVleet is in jeopardy of missing his second consecutive game due to left hamstring soreness, though Monday's absence was the second game of a back-to-back set. The 30-year-old has seen a decrease in production through 10 regular-season outings in the 2024-25 campaign, during which he has averaged 13.2 points, 5.8 assists, 3.9 rebounds and 1.7 steals while shooting 37.9 percent from the field across 35.6 minutes per game.
