Not starting Monday
Adams is not listed in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Nets, Lachard Binkley of SI.com reports.
Analysis
Adams started Houston's first two games of the season, but he'll head to the bench on Monday, with the Rockets opting to go small. Adams could move in and out of the starting unit throughout the season based on the matchup, but as a reserve, he's a far less attractive option in fantasy hoops.

Double-doubles in loss
Adams recorded 11 points (4-4 FG, 3-4 FT), 10 rebounds and three steals across 25 minutes during Friday's 115-111 loss to Detroit.
Analysis
Adams recorded his first double-double of the season, having now started in each of the first two games. While the decision to start him is likely based on the individual matchup, he has looked great during his time on the floor. His value will almost certainly fluctuate depending on the opponent, but for now, he is worth streaming for rebounding purposes.

Grabs 13 boards in start
Adams provided four points (1-4 FG, 2-2 FT), 13 rebounds and three assists across 36 minutes during Tuesday's 125-124 double-overtime loss to Oklahoma City.
Analysis
Adams was given the starting nod, likely a matchup-based decision given the size of the opposition. He led the Rockets with 13 rebounds, a handy bonus for anyone who streamed him on a low-volume night. Reed Sheppard played 28 minutes off the bench and could supplant Adams in the starting lineup from time to time, should the matchup call for it.
