According to ESPN’s Shams Charania, JD Davison has signed a two-year deal with the Rockets.

Davison’s deal will be converted from a two-way to a standard contract, and he’ll fill out Houston’s final roster spot ahead of the 2025-26 playoffs.
Amen Thompson

HOU Guard-Forward #1

Amen Thompson accounted for 18 points (8-of-11 FGs, 2-of-4 FTs), three rebounds, seven assists and one steal in Sunday’s win over the Warriors.

Spending a good portion of his night chasing around Stephen Curry did not prohibit Thompson from recording a solid stat line. While he was only responsible for one steal, the Rockets’ wing shot the ball well from the field and finished second on the team in assists behind Kevin Durant. While Thompson did not reach his ADP (22), he provided fourth-round value in eight- and nine-cat formats, so he was far from a disappointment in fantasy basketball.
Alperen Sengun

HOU Center #28

Alperen Şengün tallied 24 points (10-of-19 FGs, 3-of-3 FTs), six rebounds, seven assists, two blocks and one three-pointer in Sunday’s win over the Warriors.

Şengün’s layup with just under 12 seconds remaining gave Houston the 117-116 victory, extending their win streak to six games. The Rockets’ center finished with a final stat line that lacked only a steal, a positive end to championship week in Yahoo! default leagues. For those competing in leagues that will be active in Week 24, the Rockets still have plenty to play for in a four-game week. As a result, Şengün’s availability should not be a concern.
Jabari Smith

HOU Forward #10

Jabari Smith Jr. amassed 23 points (9-of-12 FGs), nine rebounds, one assist and five three-pointers in Sunday’s win over the Warriors.

Smith shot 5-of-7 from beyond the arc on Sunday, making it seven straight games in which he’s made at least two three-pointers. The five triples were the most in a game for him since February 23 against the Jazz. Also, the 23 points were the most that Smith has scored in a game since March 20, when he hit that number in a win over the Hawks. Smith did not record any defensive stats, but the nine rebounds helped fantasy managers.
Kevin Durant

HOU Forward #7

Kevin Durant finished Sunday’s win over the Warriors with 31 points (10-of-17 FGs, 8-of-9 FTs), eight rebounds, eight assists, three blocks and three three-pointers.

While he finished with 31 points, Durant’s biggest play on Sunday was an assist. His pass to Alperen Şengün led to the game-winning layup with 11.6 seconds remaining. The Rockets have won their last six games, and KD has averaged eight helpers per game during the run. In Sunday’s victory, Durant also provided solid value in rebounds and blocked shots, which fantasy managers were undoubtedly pleased with. For managers whose leagues run through Week 24, the Rockets play four games, starting with the Suns on Tuesday.
Tari Eason

HOU Forward #17

Tari Eason finished Friday’s win over the Jazz with 16 points (7-of-10 FGs), seven rebounds and two three-pointers.

Eason continues to find a bit of a rhythm ahead of the NBA playoffs and at the tail end of the fantasy playoffs. He made multiple three-pointers for the third time in the last four games and has now scored at least 15 points in four of his last five appearances. Eason’s new reserve role could be of high importance for the Rockets as the postseason nears. At his best, he can impact the game as a defender and multi-level scorer.
Amen Thompson

HOU Guard-Forward #1

Thompson was one of the Rockets’ most productive players on the night. Despite a 34-point victory, he still logged 32 minutes and displayed his usual versatility on both ends of the floor. Efficient shooting inside the arc allowed him to conclude as one of two Houston players with at least 20 points. Meanwhile, his work on the defensive glass was a major factor in his team-high rebounds. As the fantasy season is nearing its conclusion, Thompson will have taken another step forward in Year 3. His potential remains high.
Kevin Durant

HOU Forward #7

Kevin Durant amassed 25 points (8-of-12 FGs, 7-of-8 FTs), five rebounds, six assists, two blocks and two three-pointers in the win over the Jazz on Friday.

Durant had another efficient outing on Friday, needing only 12 shot attempts to score over 25 points and lead the Rockets in points. In addition to scoring, the decorated forward excelled on the glass and was also one of Houston’s leaders in assists on the evening. A 34-point win ultimately limited Durant to 30 minutes of action, but he still produced fairly well in his opportunities. The Rockets will close Week 23 on the road against the Warriors.
Kevin Durant

HOU Forward #7

Kevin Durant totaled 19 points (7-of-16 FGs, 3-of-4 FTs), five rebounds, nine assists, one block and two three-pointers in the win over the Bucks on Wednesday.

Durant played more of a facilitating role in Wednesday’s victory. He was Houston’s leader in assists, which nearly led him to a double-double. One noteworthy stat was Durant’s two turnovers, making his high assist total even more significant. The two-time Finals MVP will certainly have better nights as a scorer, but he did what was required of him to help the team to a fourth consecutive win.
Reed Sheppard

HOU Guard #15

Reed Sheppard tallied 27 points (9-of-15 FGs), four rebounds, six assists, two steals and nine three-pointers on Wednesday in the win over the Bucks.

Sheppard had the hot hand against Milwaukee. All but one of his 15 shots were three-pointers, and he finished just one made triple away from logging 10 makes. Nevertheless, the second-year guard was one of Houston’s most productive scorers on the evening. His production has fluctuated throughout the season, but with back-to-back 20-point games, Sheppard could be entering the postseason with some momentum.
