Question 4

What are the injury updates for Houston Rockets vs Los Angeles Lakers?

Accepted Answer

Current injury report: Deandre Ayton (Out — Ayton was a very late addition to the injury report, though his injury is being described as soreness which sounds minor. Given the opponent, the Lakers may be contemplating a maintenance day here. If Ayton is held out, Jaxson Hayes and Jarred Vanderbilt would likely be more involved for the Lakers.); Rui Hachimura (Out — Hachimura was previously considered questionable, but he'll miss his second straight contest and will be considered day-to-day moving forward. With Marcus Smart (ankle) also out, there will be plenty of minutes available for guys like Jake LaRavia and Luke Kennard.); Marcus Smart (Out — Smart was unable to shake his doubtful tag and will miss his second straight contest. With Smart sidelined, the Lakers may rely more on Luke Kennard and Jake LaRavia.); Adou Thiero (Out — Thiero is not usually in the rotation for the Lakers, so his absence won't have many fantasy implications.); Fred VanVleet (Out — VanVleet struggled with efficiency during his second season in Houston, but the Rockets' win-loss record with him on the court (41-19) spoke volumes about his overall impact on the team. With VanVleet sidelined, the runway is clear for Reed Sheppard, who barely had a role as a rookie. Amen Thompson could also handle a ton of ball-handling responsibilities, while Aaron Holiday is the only other true point guard on the roster currently.); Jae'Sean Tate (Out — Tate picked up the knee injury during Saturday's matchup against the Knicks, and he's now looking at a multi-week absence. Coach Ime Udoka noted that the typical timeline for a return from this type of injury is 4-to-6 weeks, but the team will re-assess in two weeks. Josh Okogie and Dorian Finney-Smith will presumably be asked to pick up the slack while Tate is sidelined.); Amen Thompson (Out — Considering Wednesday is the first leg of a back-to-back, it's fair to wonder if the Rockets are taking a cautious approach with Thompson. Reed Sheppard stands out as the most likely candidate to replace Thompson in the starting lineup Wednesday, and he should see a big boost in fantasy value in that role.).
