Rockets depth chart
The Houston Rockets' published depth chart at all five spots, the injury report, who played how many minutes last game, and our projected rotation for the next one.
The Houston Rockets list 18 players across the five spots on the league's own depth chart, last changed Sep 30. First choice at each: Fred VanVleet at point guard, Amen Thompson at shooting guard, Kevin Durant at small forward, Jabari Smith Jr. at power forward and Alperen Sengun at center. It is an ordering, not a minutes projection — a club can list five point guards and play two.
2 on the injury report. Day-to-day: Julian Phillips and Steven Adams.
Last game, vs the Thunder on Thu, Oct 15 (W 116-89), a preseason game: 18 players got on the floor. Fred VanVleet 29, Alperen Sengun 24 and Amen Thompson 22 led the minutes.
Next up: at the Hawks, Sat, Jan 11 at 3 PM ET. The projected rotation lands here once the model has priced the game, usually the morning of.
