With Fred VanVleet (ankle) still sidelined, Holiday will make a return to the starting lineup. Tari Eason has started during most of FVV's absences, but on the second night of a back-to-back, Eason is sidelined. Holiday contributed six points, four rebounds, three assists, one steal and one triple during his last start.
Eason is back after sitting out Sunday's win over the Raptors, which is Houston's second game in as many days. His return means Aaron Holiday will come off the bench, but the veteran guard could return to the starting lineup on Thursday. Eason and Steven Adams (ankle) have been ruled out for Thursday's matchup with the Warriors.
The Rockets remain without Fred VanVleet, and Tari Eason is also out for Sunday's game. Holiday moves into the starting five, which gives him some streaming value in deep leagues. That's the lone change to the lineup that began Saturday's loss in Dallas.
Green continues to be one of the streakiest players in the league, but he has consistently been able to score for Houston this season. He has scored at least 20 points in six of their last seven games, and while that streak stayed alive on Saturday, it wasn't enough to end the team's losing streak. The Rockets have now dropped six games in a row, though they are still in 4th place in the West. This was the first night of a back-to-back, and they will look to get back on track against Toronto on Sunday.
No surprises here, as Sengun will return from a three-game absence after getting a probable tag earlier in the day. Holiday will remain in the starting five in place of the injured Fred VanVleet, and he and Sengun will join the rest of the typical starting lineup.
