Rockets Waive Center Isaiah Hartenstein
Isaiah Hartenstein has reportedly been waived by the organization. He hasn't played much with the team this season, but seemed to be a reliable depth option off the bench. However, the Rockets are all-in on small ball, so Hartenstein does not fit that system. Hartenstein played in 23 games for the Rockets this season, but didn't do much damage during his time on the court. Maybe he can land on another team before the NBA restart happens in late July. Regardless, Hartenstein won't carry much fantasy value on most organizations.

Isaiah Hartenstein Will Play On Monday
Isaiah Hartenstein (hip) is good to go for Monday's matchup against the Chicago Bulls. After he suffered a hip injury against the Indiana Pacers on Saturday, Hartenstein was initially listed as questionable for Monday. Before being limited by injury against Indiana, Hartenstein had posted five double-doubles in six appearances. He has averaged 12.1 points, 9.6 rebounds, and 1.1 blocks in 27.4 minutes this month. Chicago allows the fourth-most fantasy points in the league to centers, so Hartenstein could be in for a very productive evening.

Isaiah Hartenstein Listed As Questionable For Monday
Isaiah Hartenstein (hip) is listed as questionable ahead of Monday's game against the Chicago Bulls. Hartenstein is in danger of missing this game after exiting early on Saturday due to left hip soreness. The Thunder could be in trouble with Chet Holmgren (hip) and Jaylin Williams (hip) also tagged as questionable for Monday. If they sit, Kenrich Williams, Branden Carlson, and Dillon Jones could all see increased roles. Between the three, Williams would be the only player worth considering as a streaming option.

Isaiah Hartenstein Sits Out Wednesday's Game
Isaiah Hartenstein (back) will be inactive on Wednesday against the Philadelphia 76ers. The team has downgraded him from questionable to out, as low back spasms will prevent Hartenstein from suiting up for the game. This means Chet Holmgren is expected to take on much of the frontcourt work, while Jaylin Williams and Kenrich Williams will see extra time on the court. Both players have previously excelled in similar situations and should be considered solid streaming options.
