Analysis: Eason returned to the court on Monday after missing Friday's win over the Pistons, and he was placed back in the starting lineup immediately. The production was good, with the Rockets' forward now having knocked down at least four three-pointers in five games this season. Last season, Eason had one such game. He does remain under a minutes restriction, but Eason doesn't need to log heavy minutes to provide solid fantasy value.

Analysis: For the first time this season, Durant has recorded three consecutive 30-point games. And he kept the turnovers in check, as that category has been a minor issue for nine-cat managers recently. Over the past two weeks, Durant has been a third-round player in nine-cat, one round behind his eight-cat value. But this is picking nits; KD's fantasy value has remained excellent throughout his first season in Houston.

Analysis: Simply put, the Grizzlies had no answer for ?engün, regardless of who they gave the task of defending him. The Rockets center made his first seven shot attempts and shot 15-of-17 from the field on the night. The 33 points were the most in a game for ?engün since December 15, when he hit that number in an overtime loss to the Nuggets. Add in the rebounds and assists, and Monday was an excellent night to have ?engün rostered.

Analysis: Eason is off the injury report and back in the starting lineup for the Rockets, sending Josh Okogie back to the bench. Houston has had an up-and-down season but has won four out of its last five games. With their starting unit back intact, the Rockets will have a stronger chance of collecting another win against a banged-up Gizzlies team.

Analysis: After a five-game absence, Holiday is available for Tuesday's game. However, while he may see some action, the reserve point guard is unlikely to get the time needed to affect fantasy basketball. Leave Holiday on the waiver wire.

Analysis: Holiday has missed Houston's last five games with a back injury. While having the veteran guard available would give the Rockets another option off the bench, Holiday is not a lock to play rotation minutes.

Analysis: Finney-Smith is available after sitting out Friday's win over the Pistons for injury maintenance. While the veteran forward's availability allows Houston to expand its rotation, Finney-Smith won't affect fantasy basketball.

Analysis: Eason did not play in Friday's win over the Pistons, allowing Josh Okogie to start and play 35 minutes. Eason's return will likely push Okogie to the bench, and there isn't much to gain from streaming him in that role.

Analysis: Capela hasn't been more than a depth piece down low for the Rockets this season, which hasn't resulted in much production in the box score. However, with Steven Adams (ankle) out indefinitely, Capela has taken on more minutes and was able to contribute some boards and blocks in this game. He'll be a solid reserve moving forward, but as long as Alperen ?engün is healthy, Capela won't play enough to be worth rostering.

Analysis: Durant got off to a hot start in this game and entered halftime with 18 points. He remained hot after the break and ended up scoring at least 30 points for the second time in 24 hours. Durant has now shot at least 55 percent from the floor in four of his last five games. He has been hot recently and continues to play big minutes; he's averaging 39.3 minutes per game over the past two weeks. As long as he's on the floor, KD will continue to shine.

Analysis: Smith has had some subpar performances recently, but he was able to turn in a strong line on Friday. This was only his second double-double of the month, and despite being a high-level defender, Smith hasn't been able to consistently contribute defensive stats. That wasn't the case in this game. He didn't do much scoring, but he was efficient. He'll look to keep it going against the Grizzlies on Monday.

Analysis: Holiday is set to miss his fifth consecutive game when the Rockets take on the Pistons in Detroit. The veteran guard has spent the majority of his three seasons in Houston as a depth piece, and his absence on Friday will leave an opportunity for Reed Sheppard to continue to soak up the majority of the backup point guard minutes.

Analysis: Both players will get the night off for injury maintenance, which means Josh Okogie and Reed Sheppard should see additional minutes against Detroit.

Analysis: While ?engün finished Thursday's overtime defeat with a complete stat line, the efficiency was lacking. He shot 33.3 percent from the field and even worse from the foul line, struggling to get much going against the 76ers' center rotation. Nights like Thursday haven't been the norm for ?engün, but he'll have another difficult matchup on Friday when the Rockets visit the Pistons.

Analysis: Thompson's improved field-goal percentage has given his fantasy value a welcome boost recently. Over the past two weeks, he's shot 52.3 percent from the field, one reason why the Rockets' guard/forward has been provided top-50 per-game value during this run. Obviously, fantasy managers have to put three-pointers when rostering Thompson, but there's a lot that he brings to the table despite that “deficiency.”

Analysis: After totaling 36 points on 12-of-30 shooting in his previous two games, Durant equalled the points tally on Thursday. However, while the shooting was highly efficient, he was responsible for a season-high eight turnovers. That may be a byproduct of Houston's lack of a stable point guard, as Durant was left to navigate Philadelphia's defensive pressure without much help. And things won't get any easier for KD, as the Rockets visit the Pistons on Friday.

Analysis: Holiday will now have missed three straight games with a back injury and four of the last five. The one game he did play, he was only able to play for four minutes. He only averages 14 minutes per game on the season, so this is not a major loss for the Rockets' rotation.

Analysis: Holiday is dealing with back spasms, which is why he is on the injury report. The guard's availability does not affect fantasy basketball, as he isn't guaranteed rotation minutes when healthy.

Analysis: Thompson recorded another robust stat line, continuing to offer excellent fantasy value. The Rockets' guard/forward has been a top-50 player in eight- and nine-cat formats. While the value may not align with his Yahoo! ADP (21), Thompson is only two rounds off after getting off to a slow start to begin the season. Something to watch is whether Houston adds a point guard ahead of the trade deadline, as that would affect Thompson's fantasy ceiling.

Analysis: After going off for a season-high 39 in a January 17 win over the Timberwolves, Durant has totaled 36 over his last two games. However, he was more efficient on Tuesday than in Sunday's win over the Pelicans, and the seven assists were a nice bonus for fantasy managers. Durant has recorded 22 assists over the last three games and has offered second-round value in eight-cat formats over the past two weeks.
