Jeremy Lin - G - Rockets

Jeremy Lin came out of nowhere to score 26 points off Houston's bench on Sunday, sinking 10-of-12 free throws with two 3-pointers, three rebounds, one assist and two steals in 34 minutes.

He played the majority of the second half alongside Patrick Beverley (12 points, four steals) and took over at PG once Bev fouled out in overtime. Hopefully this huge game off the bench will thrust Lin into a bigger role going forward, but he's hard to trust after failing to score more than 11 points in any of his previous nine games.

Terrence Jones - F - Rockets

Terrence Jones vanished on Sunday, scoring two points with four rebounds in just 20 minutes of action.

Jones was struggling vs. LaMarcus Aldridge and the Rockets quickly found success with a small lineup, so coach Kevin McHale shifted gears and sat Jones for all but six minutes of the second half and overtime. This makes two straight duds for Jones, who has developed a pattern of explosive weeks followed by stretches of barren production. With any luck he'll re-emerge as a force during Houston's upcoming three-game week, beginning Tuesday at Oklahoma City.

James Harden - G - Rockets

James Harden went off for 41 points, seven 3-pointers, 10 rebounds, six assists, six steals and one block in Sunday's overtime victory vs. the visiting the Blazers.

He forced OT with a cold-blooded 3-pointer and simply couldn't be checked by Portland as he set or tied season-highs in rebounds, 3-pointers and steals, while adding his first blocked shot in over three weeks. The Rockets have won five straight games to move into third place in the West, and Harden is catching fire at just the right time for playoff-bound fantasy owners.
Mar 9 - 10:54 PM
Troy Daniels - G - Rockets

The Rockets announced on Sunday that they have re-assigned guard Troy Daniels to the D-League.

He played in two games for the Rockets, totaling six minutes, five points, and a foul. He was a beast in the D-League averaging 23.3 points with the Rio Grande Valley Vipers, but those numbers just didn't translate at the NBA level.

James Harden - G - Rockets

James Harden scored 28 points on 10-of-17 shooting (including four threes) with four rebounds, four assists and three steals as the Rockets wiped the floor with the Pacers on Friday by the score of 112-86.

The Demolition Man was all up in Evan Turner's grill and flexing after big makes, showing more fierce enthusiasm than we've ever seen in his career. The box wasn't overly kind to the usual suspects, but everybody played well in this route. Dwight Howard went for 15 and seven with four assists and a block, Chandler Parsons scored 11 points with five rebounds, six assists and a three, and Terrence Jones had seven points, four boards, one steal and a three of his own.

Patrick Beverley - G - Rockets

Patrick Beverley (broken hose) logged 26 minutes in Friday's blowout win over the Pacers, scoring nine points on 4-of-6 shooting (including a three) with two rebounds, five assists and a steal.

Beverley took a shot to the nose at one point but stayed in the game and turned in a fairly normal effort. Owners may be a bit gun shy after a very quiet outing on Wednesday, but he had been playing well enough to be in all lineups prior to that.

Patrick Beverley - G - Rockets

Patrick Beverley (broken nose) will play in Friday's game against the Pacers.

Beverley might not even wear the mask he's been fitted for. The defensive stopper and 3-point shooter is averaging 2.4 3-pointers and 1.4 steals over his last five games.

Patrick Beverley - G - Rockets

Patrick Beverley suffered a broken nose against the Magic on Wednesday and will be fitted for a mask on Thursday.

He was popped in the nose by Tobias Harris and it caused some bleeding. Beverley had gauze in his nose for much of the game and he was able to play through the injury. His shot wasn't falling tonight and he'll look to get back on track against the Pacers on Friday.

James Harden - G - Rockets

James Harden hit 11-of-19 shots and two 3-pointers for 31 points, three rebounds and six assists in Wednesday's win.

Harden is rolling again for the Rockets, quietly averaging 26.6 points, 4.0 rebounds, 8.0 assists, 1.4 steals and 2.2 3-pointers over his last five games.
Mar 5 - 9:44 PM
Patrick Beverley - G - Rockets

Patrick Beverley hit just 1-of-8 shots for four points, zero rebounds, one assist and two steals in Wednesday's win over the Magic.

Ronnie Price started at point guard for the Magic with Jameer Nelson sidelined and committed six turnovers. While Beverley was responsible for many of them, it's little consolation to his fantasy owners. He had 19 points and a nice line in Tuesday's win over the Heat, but didn't do anything in this one. Beverley was starting to come on a bit, but after this nightmare, owners will have to weigh options when setting lineups, as he's simply not having a good season offensively.

Chandler Parsons - F - Rockets

Chandler Parsons hit 8-of-20 shots and two 3-pointers for 19 points, six rebounds, seven assists and a steal in Wednesday's win.

He played through an illness on Tuesday and scored 10, but looked much better tonight. He should be good to go from here on in.
Mar 5 - 9:36 PM
Terrence Jones - F - Rockets

Terrence Jones stayed hot on Wednesday, hitting 8-of-10 shots and a 3-pointer for 17 points, 10 rebounds, a steal and two blocks in a win over the Magic.

Jones was playing on a back-to-back and the Rockets traveled from Houston to Orlando overnight. After going through a dreadful slump, TJ is rocking again, racking up double-doubles in three straight games and averaging 19.3 points, 11.0 rebounds and 1.3 blocks over that stretch. He could disappear again at any time, but it looks like he has reclaimed his hold on the power forward minutes after struggling for much of the month of February.
Mar 5 - 9:35 PM
Donatas Motiejunas - F/C - Rockets

Donatas Motiejunas went to the locker room in the second quarter of Wednesday's game.

He looked like he took a shot to the face and perhaps may have been poked in the eye. Motiejunas did return to the game and looks to be fine.
Mar 5 - 7:49 PM
Patrick Beverley - G - Rockets

Patrick Beverley's offensive output continued on Tuesday during an impressive 106-103 win over the Heat, scoring 19 points with two boards, two assists, three steals and five 3-pointers in 33 minutes.

For whatever reason, Patrick Beverley has transformed into Patrick B3v3rl3y lately for the Rockets. In his previous 13 games, he's made 2.2 triples per game on 46.7 percent from that range and the Rockets are kicking the ball out to him a ton. His defense has been phenomenal and now that he's hitting shots with a decent sample size, he looks like he's locked and loaded as a must-start player in standard leagues.
Mar 5 - 12:21 AM
Dwight Howard - F/C - Rockets

Dwight Howard's back injury was not a problem on Tuesday against the Heat with 22 points, 16 boards and one assist on 8-of-13 from the field.

The Rockets held him out of practice on Monday due to a sore back. As for tonight, his defense was a big part of the win and Howard was able to put up his 40th double-double of the year, which ranks third behind Kevin Love and Andre Drummond. While Howard had some back complications cost him time last year, he's been in the lineup for all of Houston's 60 games this season. The Rockets are playing some great ball right now and could be a threat to win the Western Conference.
