Jabari Smith Jr.

Smith had some good games with Alperen Sengun sidelined and had another good game with Sengun back in the lineup against the Clippers Thursday. The 22-year-old power forward has provided top-100 value this season, but has a limited ceiling playing alongside Sengun and Kevin Durant.

Of the 71 points scored by Rockets starters, Durant and Jabari Smith Jr. were responsible for 49 of them. The limited production from the other starters was too much to overcome in Dallas, as Houston desperately missed Alperen Sengun (illness). Over the past two weeks, Durant has provided top-15 value in eight- and nine-cat formats. Houston plays once during Week 8, and they'll have a total of five games in leagues that will combine Weeks 8 and 9 to account for the NBA Cup.

Smith took advantage of Alperen Sengun's absence due to an illness, recording a complete stat line while shooting better than 50 percent from the field. While he has reached double figures in scoring in 13 straight games, Saturday's defeat was the third in which Smith scored at least 20 points. While he is providing top-100 value, Smith has a limited ceiling due to the presence of Sengun and Kevin Durant.

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.

Smith Jr. tallied another double-digit scoring performance, marking his 18th in 19 games this season -- he didn't get many looks at the rim on Friday but made the most of his opportunities. There wasn't much production elsewhere for the fourth-year forward against Phoenix, but it wasn't needed in the lopsided win. He'll have a chance to find more production on Saturday against Dallas.
