Marquese Chriss is Doubtful for Wednesday

Houston Rockets forward/center Marquese Chriss (ankle) is listed as doubtful for Wednesday's season opener against the New Orleans Pelicans.

NBA Skill Set Scarcity: Where Are the Efficient Bigs?

I'm a huge fan of Jrue Holiday. I truly believe he might be the most underrated point guard of our generation in both real life and for many years, in fantasy too. He's an elite defender who has finished better than the 90th percentile in on/off opponents' point per possession numbers in his career, with […]

Can We Trust Kawhi Leonard in Fantasy?

It's hard not to lay out an argument either for or against Kawhi Leonard in any scenario, real or fantasy, without mentioning trust. It's the foundation upon which teamwork and chemistry are built.

Pick & Roll Kings: A Short List of Top NBA Duos in 2018-2019

One of the most fundamental plays in basketball is the pick and roll. Although it is simple, it is also effective. As a Houston resident, there is no play that got me more hyped watching the Rockets than James Harden slipping a bounce pass between his legs to Clint Capela, leaping to the rim to […]

Clint Capela, Eric Gordon Expected to Play Friday

Houston Rockets center Clint Capela (hand) and shooting guard Eric Gordon (foot) are expected to play in Friday's preseason finale. Both players missed Tuesday's preseason contest due to minor injuries. Capela and Gordon should be ready for the season opener, assuming they have no setbacks. Capela is worth grabbing early in most leagues, while Gordon […]

Eric Gordon Won't Play on Tuesday

Houston Rockets shooting guard Eric Gordon (foot) is sitting out against the Shanghai Sharks on Tuesday. Gordon hurt himself during Sunday's contest and it appears he's not ready to play yet. Head coach Mike D'Antoni said Gordon could play if he needed to, but the Rockets are going to be cautious especially in the preseason. […]

Michael Carter-Williams is Sitting Out on Tuesday

Houston Rockets point guard Michael Carter-Williams (knee) has been ruled out of Tuesday's preseason game against the Shanghai Sharks. He did not play on Sunday versus the Spurs, but the injury was obviously downplayed. MCW believes he'll be fine and ready soon, but the Rockets aren't going to rush him. There is a chance that […]

Clint Capela is Questionable for Tuesday

Houston Rockets center Clint Capela (hand) is questionable for Tuesday's preseason matchup with the Shanghai Sharks. Head coach Mike D'Antoni said a few days ago that he expects Capela to be fine. The Rockets don't believe the hand injury is serious, so the team is likely take the cautious approach here. It'd be surprising to […]

Carmelo Anthony Scores 12 Points Off The Bench

Houston Rockets forward Carmelo Anthony came off the bench in this one to score 10 of his 12 points in the fourth quarter. Melo also chipped in six rebounds while connecting on two makes from downtown and did not commit any turnovers. It looks as if Anthony will be coming off the bench for the […]

Clint Capela Scores 10 Points

Houston Rockets center Clint Capela had a solid outing in his club's 15-point victory over the San Antonio Spurs. Capela scored 10 points on 4-for-9 shooting while grabbing six rebounds with a couple steals and a block in 22 minutes of action. Capela is poised for a big season with his elite rebounding ability and […]

P.J. Tucker Looks Great In Start

Houston Rockets forward P.J. Tucker got the start at the power forward spot in this one and did not disappoint. The rugged forward put up 19 points on 3-for-8 makes from deep and also grabbed seven rebounds with a steal. Tucker got the start over Carmelo Anthony and this looks to be the trend for […]

James Harden Dishes Out Nine Assists In Win

Houston Rockets guard James Harden dished out nine assists but had seven turnovers in his club's win over the San Antonio Spurs. Harden scored 21 points on 5-for-14 shooting and also grabbed a decent five rebounds. This was a bit of a dud for the superstar but the Beard always bounces back as we have […]

Chris Paul Just Misses Out On Triple-Double

Houston Rockets point guard Chris Paul flirted with a triple-double as his club downed the San Antonio Spurs 108-93. Paul scored 11 points on 4-for-13 shooting from the floor and added eight rebounds with nine assists in 33 minutes of action. We know Paul is a top-20 player in fantasy when he is on the […]
