Blazers' Donovan Clingan Makes Strange NBA History in Win vs Rockets The Portland Trail Blazers took down the Houston Rockets on Saturday by a score of 104-98. It was a nice bounce-back effort for the Trail Bl...

Shooting woes in loss Saturday Smith totaled 14 points (3-10 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 5-6 FT), eight rebounds, one assist and three blocks across 37 minutes during Saturday's 104-98 loss to the Trail Blazers.
Impact On the surface, Smith had a solid showing and finished just two boards away from a double-double. However, he continues to struggle with his shot. He's made four or fewer field goals in four of his last five games despite averaging 8.4 shot attempts per game in that stretch. Smith has a secondary role in the Rockets' offensive scheme, but his lack of efficiency certainly limits his fantasy upside in most formats.

Ejected late in fourth quarter VanVleet amassed eight points (4-13 FG, 0-6 3Pt), five rebounds, five assists and one steal over 28 minutes before getting ejected from Saturday's 104-98 loss to the Trail Blazers.
Impact VanVleet had a woeful performance Saturday, missing all six of his three-point attempts, struggling to get into a rhythm offensively and getting ejected in the final seconds of the fourth quarter. Don't be surprised if VanVleet receives some kind of suspension, as he was ejected after making contact with an official and after appearing to poke the referee's eye. VanVleet should continue to operate as one of the Rockets' primary options on offense, but there's no doubt that he's been struggling a lot this season.

Struggles with shot Saturday Sengun had 22 points (7-17 FG, 8-11 FT), five rebounds, five assists and two steals over 36 minutes during Saturday's 104-98 loss to the Trail Blazers.
Impact Sengun had another rough performance Saturday, and he had all sorts of problems dealing with Donovan Clingan's rim protection. Even though the star big man often finds a way to make an impact, and he did in the fourth quarter amid one of the Rockets' scoring runs, he wasn't comfortable dealing with Clingan's defensive presence. Sengun will be in line for another complicated matchup when facing Rudy Gobert and the Timberwolves on Tuesday.

Sitting out against Portland Adams (knee) is out for Saturday's game versus the Trail Blazers.
Impact Adams will miss Saturday's contest due to it being the second leg of a back-to-back. Jock Landale will likely once again operate as Houston's backup center to Alperen Sengun. Adams should be able to return to action for Tuesday's matchup with Minnesota.

Scores season-high 28 points Brooks had 28 points (10-15 FG, 6-8 3Pt, 2-4 FT), six rebounds and one assist in 25 minutes during Friday's 116-88 win over the Trail Blazers.
Impact Brooks led the Rockets in scoring Friday and delivered a season-high mark in scoring while reaching the 20-point mark for the first time in 2024/25. Don't expect Brooks to emerge as one of the Rockets' main offensive options going forward, but he remains valuable in all fantasy formats due to his starting status and his ability to make a consistent two-way impact. He's averaging 12.8 points, 3.3 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 0.7 steals per game in November.

Goes for 22 points Friday Eason supplied 22 points (8-14 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 5-5 FT), eight rebounds, two assists and two steals over 22 minutes during Friday's 116-88 victory over Portland.
Impact Eason came close to matching his season-best scoring mark Friday, and the former LSU standout continues to make a huge impact off the bench for the Rockets. This was the eighth time he scored in double digits across his last 10 appearances, and he's averaging 13.3 points, 7.8 rebounds, 1.0 assists, 2.4 steals and 1.0 blocks per game in that stretch.

Fills stat sheet Friday Thompson posted 10 points (3-8 FG, 4-7 FT), 11 rebounds, four assists, two blocks and three steals over 24 minutes during Friday's 116-88 victory over the Trail Blazers.
Impact Thompson continues to see more than 20 minutes off the bench on a regular basis, and it seems he'll continue to find ways to produce as long as he gets enough playing time. This was his fourth double-double of the season, and fantasy managers will be happy with the two-way contributions Thompson often brings to the table, making him valuable despite his bench role. He's averaging 10.8 points, 7.0 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.0 blocks per game over his last five outings off the bench.
