Won't play Wednesday
Adams (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Warriors.
Analysis
Adams has been a regular on the injury report the last week due to right ankle tendinopathy, and he'll miss his first game since Nov. 5 on Wednesday. With the veteran big man sidelined, Clint Capela will likely see increased playing time, while Jeff Green and Isaiah Crawford are candidates to enter the rotation. Adams' next chance to play will come Sunday against the Jazz.

Available to play
Adams (ankle) will come off the bench in Monday's matchup with the Suns, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.
Analysis
Adams will power through the ankle issue and should log his usual minutes, which will make it tough for Clint Capela to get into the rotation. Adams is averaging 6.0 points and 9.4 rebounds per game this season.

Questionable against Phoenix
Adams is questionable for Monday's game against the Suns due to right ankle tendinopathy.
Analysis
Adams has been dealing with this right ankle issue for some time, but he has been able to suit up for the team's last seven games. If he is unable to go, Clint Capela could see extra minutes at the five.

Makes second straight start
Adams logged five points (2-2 FG, 1-3 FT), eight rebounds and two assists across 23 minutes during Friday's 112-109 loss to Denver.
Analysis
The Rockets started Adams and Alperen Sengun together for a second straight game, but with the offense struggling in the first half, Reed Sheppard was with the first five to begin the second half. Adams remains one of the best per-minute rebounders in the league, but he's played more than 30 minutes only one time this season, which came during Houston's double-overtime loss to the Thunder on Opening Night.

Not on bench to start third quarter
Adams isn't on the bench coming out of halftime of Friday's game against the Nuggets for undisclosed reasons, Adam Wexler of Sportstalk 790 Houston reports.
Analysis
Adams isn't on the bench coming out of halftime, though it's uncertain why he remained in the locker room. Reed Sheppard, who scored 20 points in the first half, replaced Adams in the starting lineup to open the third period.

Starting Friday
Adams (ankle) is in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Nuggets, Lachard Binkley of SI.com reports.
Analysis
Adams will get his second straight start and will be joined by Amen Thompson, Jabari Smith, Kevin Durant and Alperen Sengun in the first unit. In three starts this season, Adams has posted averages of 7.0 points, 11.3 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 1.0 steals and 2.0 turnovers per contest.

Questionable vs. Nuggets
Adams (ankle) is questionable for Friday's game against the Nuggets.
Analysis
Adams is nursing right ankle tendinopathy, clouding his status for Friday. If the veteran big man is downgraded to out against Denver, Clint Capela could see enough minutes to warrant streaming consideration in deeper fantasy setups.
