NBC SportsAmen Thompson, Josh Okogie, Kevin Durant, Jabari Smith Jr. and Clint Capela will start Saturday's game against the Mavericks.

With Steven Adams already out, the Rockets will also be without Alperen Sengun on Saturday. As a result, Capela moves into the starting lineup and is worth a look in deep leagues out of necessity. The other four starters are unchanged.

NBC SportsAlperen Sengun (illness) is out for Saturday's game against the Mavericks.

Sengun will miss a second straight game, with Steven Adams replacing him in the starting lineup for Friday's win over the Suns. However, with Adams also out, Clint Capela could move into the starting lineup on Saturday. He hasn't affected fantasy basketball this season, but the chance to start may change that.

NBC SportsAlperen Sengun (illness) will miss Friday's game against the Suns.

Sengun was downgraded from questionable to out ahead of Friday's matchup with the Suns. The Rockets will instead start veteran center Steven Adams in place of Sengun as they look to secure a second win over Phoenix this season. Clint Capela should move to second on the depth chart at the center position for Friday's game, which should allow more minutes than usual to find production.
