Steven Adams Does Little In Loss To Timberwolves
Steven Adams tallied 12 points, four rebounds and one turnover over 28 minutes in Sunday's loss to the Timberwolves. The 25-year-old was 6-for-10 from the field. It was his lowest rebound total since picking three balls off the backboard on Nov. 2. The game also marked the first time this year that the sixth-year pro did not tally an assist, block or steal. Adams has an entertaining matchup against Clint Capela on Christmas Day. He compiled 19 points, 10 rebounds, and four assists in the earlier meeting this season against the Rockets.

Steven Adams Iffy For Thursday
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.

Steven Adams Active On Monday
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.

Steven Adams Not On The Injury Report For Tuesday
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.

Steven Adams Not Listed On The Injury Report
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.
