Nwaba (ankle) did not practice Sunday, and isn't expected to play Monday or Wednesday against the Thunder, Cayleigh Griffin of AT&T SportsNet Southwest reports.

Nwaba suffered a left ankle sprain during Saturday's win over the Pelicans, Cayleigh Griffin of AT&T SportsNet Southwest reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 28-year-old had nine points (4-11 FG, 1-2 3Pt) and three rebounds in 16 minutes before leaving with the injury. Nwaba should be considered questionable for Monday's matchup with the Thunder until his status is updated.

Nwaba finished with 11 points (5-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt), nine rebounds, three assists, two steals and one block across 23 minutes Tuesday in the Rockets' 107-88 win over the Wizards.

EDGE Analysis

Nwaba hit double figures in points for the third straight game and complemented his scoring with some solid peripheral numbers -- good for arguably his best fantasy line of the season. The 28-year-old appears to have moved ahead of both Sterling Brown (16 minutes Tuesday) and Ben McLemore (two minutes) on the Rockets' wing depth chart, but Nwaba could see his playing time tail off once Danuel House (back/COVID-19 protocols) has some time to ramp up. House was limited to 14 minutes Tuesday in his first appearance since Jan. 2, but he had averaged 32.8 minutes per game in his prior four outings before being shut down.

Nwaba contributed 18 points (6-7 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 4-5 FT), three assists, two rebounds and a steal across 27 minutes in Saturday's 133-108 win over the Mavericks.

EDGE Analysis

When the dust settles amidst the Rockets' COVID and injury struggles, Nwaba's role is bound to reduce. He has provided excellent support through the past two weeks, however. Even as a starter. Nwaba hasn't produced enough to be a reliable seasonal option, but his ability to beat value in DFS contests made him a go-to option for many DFS players.Nwaba's played well enough to earn more playing time, but he'll be buried on the depth chart once everyone is healthy.

Nwaba recorded 13 points (6-12 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT), seven rebounds, four assists, two steals and two blocks in 21 minutes during Friday's 103-102 win over the Pistons.

EDGE Analysis

Friday's effort was Nwaba's best of the season, as he was aggressive on offense in limited minutes and contributed a great defensive game. Nwaba has been used primarily as a defensive specialist throughout his career, but he can occasionally pop off for a double-digit scoring game. From a fantasy perspective, he's only worth a look in the deepest of leagues if you're desperate for defensive stats. However, once the Rockets get fully healthy, his minutes could continue falling by the wayside.

EDGE Analysis
