Steven Adams (calf) is questionable for Friday’s game against the Spurs.

A game-time call for Houston’s season opener, Adams did not play in Wednesday’s win over the Mavericks. Clint Capela effectively took over backup center duties, but he played just eight minutes. Rostering Capela would not be much of a gain for fantasy managers if Adams remains out on Friday.

Steven Adams (calf) is out for Wednesday’s game against the Mavericks.

Adams was seemingly on the wrong side of questionable with a calf injury and has since been ruled out for Wednesday’s game against the Mavericks. Adams wasn’t likely to have much of an impact on fantasy basketball anyway, but his absence will open up some bench minutes for Clint Capela behind starter Alperen Sengun.

Steven Adams (calf) and Julian Phillips (illness) are questionable for Wednesday’s matchup with the Mavericks.

Phillips’ absence doesn’t impact fantasy hoops, but if Adams is sidelined, Clint Capela could see additional run behind Alperen Sengun.

Clint Capela had 23 points (9-of-11 FGs, 4-of-7 FTs), 13 rebounds, one assist, one steal, three blocks and one three-pointer in the Rockets’ 132-101 victory over the Grizzlies on Sunday.

Capela started, played 23 minutes and had a double-double in the win over the Grizzlies on Sunday. There’s not much more you could want out of the 31-year-old big man on the last day of the regular season. Capela will go back to his reserve role in the Rockets’ first round playoff series.

Kevin Durant (rest) and Alperen Şengün (rest) are out for Sunday’s game against the Grizzlies.

With Friday’s loss to the Timberwolves, the Rockets are locked into the No. 5 seed in the Western Conference. Since there isn’t anything on the line on Sunday, Reed Sheppard is the lone starter who will play. Tari Eason and Clint Capela should benefit from Durant and Şengün sitting.

Alperen Şengün (back) is available for Saturday’s game against the Heat.

Initially questionable, Şengün is active for Saturday’s game. As a result, there isn’t much to gain from streaming Clint Capela or Dorian Finney-Smith since they’ll play limited minutes off the bench.

Amen Thompson, Kevin Durant, Tari Eason, Jabari Smith Jr. and Alperen Şengün will start Wednesday’s game against the Lakers.

The lone change to the Rockets’ starting lineup is Şengün, who is back after sitting out Monday’s loss to the Lakers. His return means that Clint Capela will head to the bench, and he may fall out of the rotation entirely.

Alperen Şengün (back) is off the injury report for Wednesday’s matchup with the Lakers.

Şengün sat out Monday’s loss to the Lakers, but he’ll be back in action for Wednesday’s rematch. Şengün’ return will push Clint Capela back to the bench after Capela started on Monday.

Alperen Şengün (back) is out for Monday’s game against the Lakers, and Clint Capela will replace him in the starting lineup.

After sitting out Friday’s win over the Pelicans, Şengün has been ruled out for a second straight game. However, it will be Capela who replaces him in the starting lineup after Dorian Finney-Smith did so the last time out. The matchup dictated the change, as the Lakers start a true center in Deandre Ayton while New Orleans did not.

Amen Thompson, Kevin Durant, Tari Eason, Dorian Finney-Smith and Jabari Smith Jr. will start Friday’s game against the Pelicans.

The Rockets won’t have Alperen Şengün for Friday’s game, as he sits with a back injury. However, instead of replacing him with a center, the Rockets are going small, with Finney-Smith moving into the starting lineup. Clint Capela may pick up a few more minutes off the bench, but not starting eliminates what little streaming value he had.
