Houston Rockets center Christian Wood shot 0-for-6 from downtown against the Bucks on Wednesday, but he remained in good form, recording a team-high 20 points and 11 rebounds in a 126-106 loss. His overall shooting was pretty decent at 6-for-13 and Wood picked up a lot of points with an 8-for-11 record at the line. He swatted away one shot and posted two turnovers in 28 minutes. The 26-year-old continues to play through left knee tendinitis and it seems likely that he will sit out a game or two soon. Houston is back in action Thursday against Indiana and the team might want to rest Wood for that one.

Houston Rockets center Christian Wood (knee) is among the starting five for Wednesday's contest against the Bucks, confirming an earlier update that he was likely to take the floor. Wood missed two games over the past week due to a balky knee, but any short-term fears have been alleviated for the time being. The 26-year-old remains the focal point of the Rockets' offense, having reached the 20-point mark in four of his last five games, three of which have seen him log a double-double. Milwaukee is drastically thin on the interior for the time being, giving Wood sound DFS upside amidst an archaic slate.

Houston Rockets center Christian Wood (knee) is expected to play on Wednesday versus Milwaukee. He recently missed a pair of games with left knee tendinitis and it's still bothering him, but it seems like he's good to go for now. The final green light will come after the warm-up. Wood has been rocking lately, and his good performances include a 22-point, 13-rebound double-double with two blocks against the Bucks on Dec. 10. His presence has pushed Daniel Theis completely out of the rotation and the German will likely remain nailed to the bench Wednesday night.

Houston Rockets center Christian Wood (knee) has been deemed questionable to suit up for Wednesday's contest against the Bucks due to left knee tendinitis. Wood was forced to the sidelines for two games last week due to the same issue, so there is cause for concern for fantasy managers as it pertains to his status. When healthy, Wood has been Houston's most captivating fantasy commodity, having accrued 16 double-doubles thus far in 2021-22. Should he ultimately be held out, look for Alperen Sengun to see a significant uptick in usage, making the rookie a strong DFS option; if Wood plays, he'll be matched up vs. a Milwaukee squad that he dropped 21 points and 13 rebounds against on Dec. 10.

Houston Rockets center Christian Wood complied his 16th double-double of the season on Monday, notching a team-high 23 points and 11 rebounds in a blowout loss to Chicago.

Houston Rockets center Christian Wood (knee) and shooting guard Armoni Brooks (ankle) have been tagged as questionable to play in Saturday's game against the Pistons. Wood has been sidelined for the past two outings due to left knee tendinitis, while Brooks was limited to just nine minutes Thursday after dealing with a sore left ankle. Wood has been an integral part of Houston's offense this season, averaging 16.5 points per game, while pitching in a career-high 11.1 boards as well. A matchup Saturday with Detroit would allow him to face off with his former team, which first gave him a glimpse at a starting gig back in 2019-20. Check back for the final word on the status of both players prior to tip-off.

Houston Rockets center Christian Wood (knee) will not play Thursday against the New York Knicks, but is expected to return Saturday against the Detroit Pistons.

It's also worth noting that Wood has a slim chance of playing during Thursday's contest. It sounds like the Rockets want to be cautious with Wood right now.

Daniel Theis and Usman Garuba could get more involved as well, but aren't worth using as streaming options.

He was tagged as questionable previously, but Jonathan Feigen believes Wood is closer to doubtful for this contest. Wood has been dealing with left knee soreness for some time now, so it wouldn't be shocking to see the team rest him here. The Rockets don't want to risk a long term injury, so it's probably a better plan to rest Wood. Alperen Sengun and Daniel Theis would see additional playing time, assuming Wood is out. Sengun is the better option between the two, but both could have streaming appeal on Wednesday.

Wood has notched five double-doubles during Houston's seven-game winning streak.

It's relatively surprising that he's playing, especially since he was recently wearing a walking boot, though it's certainly positive news for fantasy managers. Nonetheless, with a favorable matchup on tap for Wood, he should be starting in all fantasy lineups. However, there is a good chance he may be limited from a minutes standpoint, so he may not be the best option for DFS contests.

Fantasy managers in season long formats should feel safe plugging Wood back into their lineups.

The organization doesn't believe Wood would miss much time, but his status for Friday's contest is uncertain. It wouldn't be shocking to see the Rockets play it safe and have Wood sit out at least one game.

Although, both players could have some streaming value on Friday if Wood is out.

He nailed three shots from deep with six attempts and shot 9-for-17 overall from the field, adding one steal and three blocks to his tally in 31 minutes.

The big man is also shooting 46.1% from the field, a low number for a power forward/center, and an ugly 56.3% from the line. Wood is fantasy relevant and carries additional value in double-double leagues, but he doesn't provide a ton of value outside of points and boards.
