Malik Beasley - Probable for TuesdayBeasley (illness) is probable for Tuesday's game against the Spurs.

ImpactBeasley has missed back-to-back games due to an illness but should return to action Tuesday. He's started all 24 of his appearances this season, averaging 12.0 points, 4.4 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.0 steals in 30.3 minutes per game.

Jalen Green - Productive in defeatGreen racked up 16 points (6-11 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds and seven assists in 29 minutes during Sunday's 128-119 loss to the Bucks.

ImpactAlthough the Rockets were unable to pick up the win during Sunday's matchup, Green posted a well-rounded stat line that included his second-highest assist total of the year. He's been held under 30 minutes of playing time in his last four appearances, averaging 11.3 points, 4.0 assists and 3.3 rebounds in 26.3 minutes per game.

Jeff Green - Puts up 16 points in lossGreen logged 16 points (4-5 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 7-8 FT) and one assist over 17 minutes during Sunday's 128-119 loss to the Bucks.

ImpactThe Rockets ran a tight nine-man rotation Sunday in the absence of Amen Thompson (illness). Green has given the Rockets some quality end-of-bench minutes, posting averages of 9.0 points, 2.3 rebounds and 0.7 assists in 17.7 minutes through six December games.

Andre Jackson Jr. - Scores nine in winJackson recorded nine points (4-6 FG, 1-3 3Pt), six rebounds and four assists across 36 minutes before fouling out of Sunday's 128-119 victory over the Rockets.

ImpactJackson fouled out late in Sunday's matchup, but he posted a well-rounded stat line while serving as a starter for a second consecutive game. While he's seen plenty of playing time in a starting role, his usage will likely diminish once Malik Beasley (illness) is cleared to return.

DECEMBER 18, 2023•ROTOWIRE

Tari Eason - Likely to play MondayEason (lower leg) is probable for Monday's game against the Cavaliers.

ImpactAlthough Eason continues to deal with left lower leg soreness, he'll likely be able to suit up in the second half of a back-to-back set Monday. He's scored in double figures in four consecutive matchups, averaging 16.3 points, 10.5 rebounds and 1.8 steals in 26.8 minutes per game.

DECEMBER 18, 2023•ROTOWIRE

Amen Thompson - Out again MondayThompson (illness) will not play in Monday's game against the Cavaliers.

ImpactThis will be the fourth straight game on the sidelines for the rookie. Thompon's next chance to play will be Wednesday against the Hawks. Tari Eason is carrying a probable tag due to a leg issue, but he'll likely continue to see increased run for the Rockets with Thompson out.
