Chandler Parsons had team highs with 27 points and eight assists in Monday's 105-103 win over the Thunder, while adding 10 boards, one block and three 3-pointers in 41 minutes.
It was one of his best games as a pro and the timing couldn't have been better to keep the Rockets alive. Parsons was phenomenal all year, shooting 48.6 percent from the field and 38.5 from beyond the arc for 15.5 points per game this regular season. Interestingly, he shoots better on the road at 49.9 percent compared to just 47.3 percent at home. Game 5 will be in OKC on Wednesday. Apr 30 - 12:42 AM

Chandler Parsons - F - Rockets

Chandler Parsons had 23 points, four rebounds, three assists, a steal and two 3-pointers, one of which sent Wednesday's finale against the Lakers to overtime, where the Rockets lost.

Parsons' big three was a line drive that didn't look like it had a chance, but it went down cleanly. Parsons is healthy and ready to go against the Thunder in Game 1.

Chandler Parsons - F - Rockets

Chandler Parsons played 40 minutes against the Suns on Monday, scoring a team-high 24 points, four rebounds, seven assists, one block and two 3-pointers.

He played just 27 minutes in his return from a calf injury on Sunday, but his 40 minutes tonight suggest that he's back to 100 percent Parsons had a breakout season this year and he'll be off the board in the middle rounds in drafts next season.

Chandler Parsons - F - Rockets

Chandler Parsons (calf) returned to action on Sunday with 13 points, two 3-pointers, five rebounds and five assists in just 27 minutes.

The Rockets came into Sunday just half a game behind the Warriors for the No. 6 seed, and the victory propels them ahead by virtue of a tie-breaker (Houston won the season series 3-1). They could lock up the No. 6 seed by defeating the Suns on Monday and Lakers on Wednesday, so Parsons seems like a safe fantasy play in the final week of the season.

Chandler Parsons - F - Rockets

Chandler Parson (calf) will return to the lineup for Sunday's game against the Kings.

He missed four games with left calf soreness and he will play around 30 minutes tonight. The Rockets are down a half game for the sixth seed, so one thing is very clear is that they will want that spot with third-seeded Denver being banged up. Parsons should be put back in all fantasy lineups. Terrence Jones and Francisco Garcia figure to lose value.

Chandler Parsons (calf) will not play in Friday's game against the Grizzlies.

Parsons is getting close as he was able to practice Thursday, but the Rockets are going to play it safe. Coach Kevin McHale said he doesn't want a mild strain to turn into a pull and 3-4 weeks on the sidelines. It leaves Carlos Delfino, who is back from an illness Friday, as a speculative plug-n-play.

Chandler Parsons (calf) is a game-time decision on Friday vs. the Grizzlies.

Kevin McHale gave a simple "we'll see" when asked of Parsons' status, which doesn't make us feel very good about his chances of playing. If Parsons sits again, Carlos Delfino, James Anderson, Terrence Jones and Francisco Garcia should all help to pick up the slack.

Chandler Parsons (calf) and Carlos Delfino (flu) are both practicing on Thursday.

The Rockets play the Grizzlies on Friday, and it's possible he'll be back for that one, but Parsons did say he won't rush it so we're considering him questionable until we hear otherwise. Delfino should be ready for Friday's game after dealing with an illness for nearly a week.

Chandler Parsons - F - Rockets

Chandler Parsons (calf) thinks he may have overdone it in his rehab and is hopeful he'll return before the end of the season.

Instead of practicing with his teammates Wednesday, Parsons strictly focused on his rehab. "I’ve been trying so bad to get back, to have my recovery quickly, I think I’ve overdone it a little bit, because it’s so sore," Parsons said Wednesday. The Rockets are off until Friday but have only four games left before the playoffs. With a postseason spot locked up, it's possible the Rockets might rest Parsons until the postseason begins.

Chandler Parsons (calf) will miss his third straight game on Tuesday against the Suns.

This means Francisco Garcia is likely to draw another start, but keep an eye on rookie Terrence Jones, who has displayed impressive versatility in two of his last three games. Other guys like Patrick Beverley and James Anderson will also help to fill the void left by Parsons.

Chandler Parsons (calf) and Carlos Delfino (flu) both sat out Monday's practice.

Both guys are questionable to return vs. the Suns on Tuesday -- Parsons was "optimistic" that he'd be able to return, but that was contingent upon his practicing on Monday. Fantasy owners should make contingency plans -- if neither guy suits up, Francisco Garcia will once again be an excellent spot-start.

Chandler Parsons (calf) sounded optimistic when discussing his status Sunday.

Parsons sat out Saturday as the Rockets got throttled in Denver. He's hoping to practice on Monday and suit up on Tuesday. "Obviously, I want to play, especially when we play like we did (on Saturday)," he said. "I think I could help the team. And it's starting to feel better. It's not as sore, not as tender to the touch." We'll have more details on Parsons' status following Monday's workout.

Chandler Parsons - F - Rockets

Chandler Parsons (calf) will not play against the Nuggets on Saturday.

He missed Friday's game and was not expected to play in tonight. The Rockets are off until Tuesday following Saturday's game, so Parsons should have a shot to play in that game considering they're fighting for positioning in the playoffs. Francisco Garcia started on Friday and is a decent spot-start in deep leagues.

Chandler Parsons - F - Rockets

Chandler Parsons (calf) is not expected to play Saturday night.

Parsons is wearing a walking boot to relieve the pressure in his strained calf, which he suffered during Wednesday's game. The Rockets have a decent leg up on the Jazz in the playoff chase and will likely rest Parsons as much as possible in the final two weeks. Francisco Garcia will likely continue to start as long as Parsons is sidelined.

Chandler Parsons - F - Rockets

Chandler Parsons (calf) will not play in Friday's game against the Blazers.

Parsons injured the calf while popping off for 29 points, five rebounds and four assists in 39 minutes on Wednesday night. With the Rockets 3.5 games clear of the ninth-seeded Jazz, he can afford to rest. The Rockets will start Francisco Garcia at small forward once again. When Parsons was sidelined on Monday, Garcia had 14 points, five assists, four 3-pointers and three blocks in 25 minutes. He could get an even bigger boost if Carlos Delfino (game-time decision, illness) sits out.
