Houston Rockets center Steven Adams (wrist) will not play on Thursday against the Utah Jazz. He has been ruled out for the contest after the team listed him as questionable on the initial injury report. Jock Landale will move up on the depth chart and serve as Alperen Sengun's backup on Thursday. Additionally, Jabari Smith Jr. may also soak up some minutes at center. Adams will have his first opportunity to return to action on Sunday night against the Phoenix Suns.
Houston Rockets center Steven Adams (wrist) is considered questionable for Thursday's clash against the Utah Jazz. The big man from New Zealand is dealing with pain in his right wrist and may take the night off after playing at least 20 minutes in four consecutive games. Jock Landale will handle these minutes if Adams won't be available for Thursday's contest. Fantasy managers should ignore Landale, who has averaged only 4.0 points and 3.1 rebounds in 10.6 minutes this season.
Houston Rockets center Steven Adams (ankle) will be in the lineup on Monday against the Oklahoma City Thunder. The big man was listed on the injury report due to left ankle soreness but has been upgraded from questionable to available. Adams' availability is great news for Houston since starting center Alperen Sengun (back) will not be playing against the Thunder. However, Jock Landale has been named the starter in Sengun's absence, meaning Adams likely won't deliver much for fantasy teams.
Houston Rockets center Steven Adams (ankle) looks set to return to the lineup on Tuesday against the Milwaukee Bucks, as the team hasn't listed him on the injury report. Adams missed Saturday's matchup against the Utah Jazz as Houston completed a back-to-back set. On Tuesday, the veteran big man will provide additional depth in the frontcourt behind starting center Alperen Sengun. Adams is a fantasy afterthought these days, with him averaging 3.6 points and 5.2 rebounds in 12.4 minutes.
Houston Rockets center Steven Adams (ankle) is not on the injury report against the Warriors, even though there was an earlier report that the 31-year-old would sit out since the Rockets were playing the second half of a back-to-back set of games. Adams had five points and six rebounds while playing just 10 minutes against the Suns, so maybe the lighter workload is part of why he can bounce back and play again on Thursday. He has been dealing with an ankle injury that has had him in and out of the lineup, but it looks like he'll be available to serve as the primary backup for Alperen Sengun in the Rockets' last game before the All-Star break.
Houston Rockets center Steven Adams (ankle) will be held out of the team's second game in a back-to-back situation on Thursday against the Golden State Warriors. Adams has recently been in and out of the lineup due to an ankle injury. He will be rested against the Warriors after Adams registered five points and six rebounds in 10 minutes Wednesday night in a 119-111 win over the Phoenix Suns. Jock Landale and Jeff Green didn't see the court on Wednesday and will be fully rested to back up Alperen Sengun. However, the two don't have any fantasy value.
Houston Rockets center Steven Adams (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Thursday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. The big man only managed to play 13 minutes during Tuesday's game and appears to be dealing with a left ankle injury. His absence should mean that Jock Landale will be asked to be the primary backup to Alperen Sengun. There probably won't be enough playing time available for Landale to be worth a look as a streaming option on Thursday. The next chance for Adams to play will be Saturday against the Dallas Mavericks.
Houston Rockets center Steven Adams (ankle) is available on Thursday against Memphis. The veteran was in danger of missing this contest because of ankle soreness. However, he'll be out there and will get the start in place of Alperen Sengun (calf), who will miss his first game of the 2024-25 campaign. Adams has averaged only 3.2 points and 4.8 rebounds this season. Yet, it's logical to assume he'll be more productive, so he has some streaming value for fantasy managers. Adams will likely also draw value attention from DFS participants. The same can be said for Jock Landale, who will come off the bench behind Adams.
Houston Rockets center Steven Adams (ankle) will not be available for Tuesday's contest against the Atlanta Hawks. He landed on the injury report late with left ankle soreness. Adams played 14 minutes in Monday's win over the Boston Celtics, notching four points and four rebounds. Jock Landale should take over his minutes as the backup center on Tuesday. As Alperen Sengun is fully healthy, Landale likely won't play enough to warrant fantasy selection.
Houston Rockets center Steven Adams (knee) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Wednesday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. This is good news as Adams appears to be ready to return to the court after missing each of the last two games. He figures to continue serving as the primary backup center to Alperen Sengun. Adams has been extremely quiet in a minor role with the Rockets this season. He can be avoided for fantasy purposes right now.
