Impact Tate will miss his first game of the season on the second leg of Houston's back-to-back Wednesday due to left knee soreness.

Dealing with knee soreness Tate is probable for Tuesday's matchup versus Dallas.

Impact Tate is one of four Rockets listed as probable for the front half of a back-to-back set. While Tate will likely suit up Tuesday, it's possible he'll take a seat for Wednesday's matchup versus Denver to manage his knee soreness.

Season-high nine boards Tate closed with two points (1-4 FG, 0-3 3Pt), nine rebounds, four assists and one steal across 26 minutes during Wednesday's 111-91 win over the Grizzlies.

Impact Tate is averaging 19.6 minutes per game but hasn't produced consistently enough to be relevant in fantasy. His nine rebounds were a season high, and he was a solid source of steals earlier in the campaign, but there's just not enough consistent all-around production to warrant any attention in standard leagues.

NOVEMBER 23, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Source of steals Tate notched three points (1-3 FG, 1-2 FT), six rebounds and three steals across 20 minutes during Sunday's 107-104 victory over Denver.

Impact Tate has notched at least three steals in back-to-back games and multiple swipes five times this season. He's currently averaging a career-high 1.6 steals per game, but the rest of his production has taken a dramatic drip.

Chips in five assists Tate finished with four points (1-5 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six rebounds and five assists across 19 minutes during Wednesday's 128-119 victory over the Hornets.

Impact Tate has struggled to get going offensively thus far and he isn't very incorporated in the offense. However, he tied for the second-most assists for the Rockets on Wednesday and will continue filling a role as a glue guy and defensive stopper.

Returns to bench Tate will come off the bench for Friday's preseason game against Miami.

Impact Fred VanVleet, Dillon Brooks and Jalen Green all returned to the lineup Friday for the final exhibition. The Rockets are much deeper than they were last season, so Tate's role for Opening Night remains to be seen.

Gets spot start Tate will start Wednesday's preseason game against the Spurs, Jackson Gatlin of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

Impact With Fred VanVleet (rest), Dillon Brooks (rest), Jeff Green (rest) and Jalen Green (toe) sidelined, Tate gets a spot start. While Tate likely won't be a starter during the regular season, the fact he's getting an extended look Wednesday suggests he may be one of the top wings off Ime Udoka's bench in 2023-24.

No restrictions to start camp Tate was a full participant at Houston's first training camp practice Tuesday, Kelly Iko of The Athletic reports.

Impact Tate was limited to 31 appearances last season due to ankle and knee injuries, although Houston's rebuild was not conducive to re-incorporating the 27-year-old down the stretch. The Rockets have revamped their wing cast with Dillon Brooks, Amen Thompson, Cam Whitmore and Reggie Bullock, but Tate impressed in Tuesday's practice and is candidate to retain a rotation role.

MARCH 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Could be rested Monday Tate could be rested Monday against the Warriors, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Impact The Rockets have been sitting Tate for one leg of their back-to-back sets, and it sounds like that will continue Monday. Feigen speculates that we could see TyTy Washington get an opportunity for some minutes against the Warriors.

Scores 13 points in win Tate closed with 13 points (6-7 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds and four assists over 21 minutes during Wednesday's 114-110 win over the Lakers.

Impact Tate made the most of his opportunities Wednesday, knocking down six of seven shot attempts and his only free-throw try. Though he played his fewest minutes March 1, the forward managed to score in double figures for the ninth time in his past 10 games. Over that stretch, Tate is averaging 12.6 points, 3.6 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 0.8 steals while shooting 52.1 percent from the field and 78.1 percent from the charity stripe.

MARCH 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Not listed on injury report Tate (ankle) is not listed on the injury report ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Spurs.

Impact Tate skipped the first leg of this back-to-back, but he'll be back in action Sunday evening, which may result in fewer minutes for Tari Eason and Usman Garuba. Tate should be good to go for minutes in the high-teens to lower-20s in this one, but he won't do much for you outside of scoring.

MARCH 5, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Absent from injury report Tate (ankle) isn't listed on the Rockets' injury report ahead of Sunday's game against the Spurs.

Impact Tate sat out the first half of a back-to-back set Saturday, but as expected, he'll return to action Sunday. He has appeared in 11 of the Rockets' past 15 games (five starts) and averaged 9.9 points, 3.4 rebounds and 1.8 assists in 21.9 minutes during that stretch.

MARCH 5, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Sitting out first Saturday Tate won't play in Saturday's game versus the Spurs due to right ankle injury maintenance.

Impact Tate is likely sitting out Saturday due to it being the first leg of a back-to-back. Josh Christopher and Kevin Porter are candidates to see extended minutes in his absence. Tate should be available for Sunday's rematch with San Antonio.

MARCH 3, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Slated to play Wednesday Tate (rest) isn't listed on the injury report for Wednesday's game versus the Grizzlies.

Impact Given that rest was the reason for Tate's absence Tuesday in the front end of a back-to-back set, his omission from Wednesday's injury report doesn't arrive as a surprise. Tate's starting status could hinge on whether Kevin Porter (foot), who is questionable, returns against Memphis.

MARCH 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Out Tuesday Tate (rest) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game versus the Nuggets.

Impact The Rockets will hold Tate out of the first leg of this back-to-back set, but he should return to the floor for Wednesday's game against the Grizzlies. Expect more burn for Josh Christopher and Tari Eason with Tate watching from the sidelines Tuesday night.

Third straight in double figures Tate recorded 17 points (7-11 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), two rebounds and two assists across 25 minutes during Sunday's 131-114 loss to the Trail Blazers.

Impact Tate missed both of his three-pointers but was efficient from inside the arc en route to his third straight game in double figures. During that stretch, the undrafted forward out of Ohio State has averaged 14.0 points, 2.3 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.0 steals in 24.0 minutes per game. As long as Jalen Green (groin) and Kevin Porter (foot) remain out, Tate is a candidate for increased offensive responsibilities within Houston's offense.

FEBRUARY 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Strong two-way effort Friday Tate provided 14 points (6-12 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds, four assists and three steals in 28 minutes during Friday's 116-101 loss to Golden State.

Impact Tate had arguably his best game of the season, producing on both ends of the floor despite the loss. The Rockets have now lost eight straight games, leaning heavily into what will end up being another lost season. Tate has started in four consecutive games, although prior to Friday his production had been mediocre, at best. He could be considered in deeper formats, but for those in standard leagues, there is likely to be a more appealing player available on waivers.
