McLemore tallied 21 points (7-15 FG, 7-14 3Pt), three rebounds, three assists and one steal in 36 minutes during Friday's 107-101 loss to the Timberwolves.
EDGE Analysis
McLemore shifted into the starting lineup after Danuel House (personal) was ruled out. McLemore went off for a season-high 21 points, including seven triples, making the most of his opportunity. House has already been ruled out Saturday. While the upside is basically non-existent for McLemore, he could once again be a passable streaming option if you need perimeter scoring.

McLemore notched 14 points (4-10 FG, 4-10 3PT, 2-2 FT) over 23 minutes in a 122-97 loss to the Hornets on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
McLemore tied his season high of four three-pointers made. Wednesday's performance was a bit surprising considering he's shooting just 31 percent from deep this season. The guard usually doesn't play many minutes and rarely shoots the three-point ball as much as he did against the Hornets. Don't expect the 28-year-old to achieve a performance like this anytime soon as he was granted additional minutes because the game was a blowout. Due to the Rocket's struggles this season, McLemore has received more court time than usual as the team hopes to develop more of their bench players.

McLemore (not injury related) is off the injury report ahead of Sunday's game against the Thunder, Alykhan Bijani of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
McLemore only ended up on the injury report due to an error, so his availability for Sunday isn't surprising. However, he was a DNP-CD in the Rockets' latest game against the Pistons.

McLemore is likely to be available Sunday against the Thunder, as an error in the NBA's official injury report listed his status from Dec. 23, Adam Spolane of Sports Radio 610 Houston reports.
EDGE Analysis
Both McLemore and Kenyon Martin were in self-isolation Dec. 23 when Sunday's game was initially supposed to be played and ended up being postponed until this Sunday. Barring anything unforeseen, he should be available against the Thunder.

McLemore will not play Sunday against the Thunder due to self-isolation.
EDGE Analysis
Both McLemore and Kenyon Martin are self-isolating and away from the team. In their absences, Mason Jones, Danuel House, Sterling Brown and D.J. Wilson are all candidates to see more minutes.

McLemore (ankle) is questionable for Friday's game against the Pistons, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
McLemore has missed the past two games due to a left ankle sprain but has a chance to return for Friday's matchup. If he's held out once again, Sterling Brown and Danuel House could see increased run for Houston.

McLemore (ankle) is unavailable for Wednesday's game against the Warriors, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
McLemore was considered questionable with a left ankle sprain and will be sidelined for the second straight contest. Sterling Brown should have an increased role Wednesday, and the return of Danuel House (knee) from a five-game absence will also help the shorthanded Rockets.

McLemore (ankle) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against Golden State, Alykhan Bijani of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
McLemore picked up a sprained ankle against Boston on Sunday, which kept him out of Tuesday's blowout loss to the Hawks. Due to a number of other Rockets injuries, McLemore has been able to play an elevated role when healthy lately, but he remains an afterthought in most fantasy leagues.
