Wall (knee) is listed as out for Tuesday's game versus Atlanta.
EDGE Analysis
It will be the fourth straight absence for Wall, who continues to nurse a bruised left knee. Earlier Monday, Chris Haynes of Yahoo Sports reported that Wall will eventually require a scope of his knee, but for now he'll focus on recovering from this latest setback in hopes of returning to the court as soon as possible. With the Rockets entering a back-to-back, there's a good chance Wall could remain out Wednesday against the Warriors, as well.

Wall (knee) is expected to have his left knee scoped later in the season, Chris Haynes of Yahoo Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
Haynes notes only that the knee will be examined "at some point this season," so it's very much unclear how much time Wall could potentially miss. The five-time All-Star is currently on the shelf after bruising his knee during a recent practice, but he's expected to return to game action in the near future. Houston is yet to clarify the guard's status for Tuesday's home matchup against Atlanta.

Wall (knee) will remain sidelined for Sunday's game against the Celtics.
EDGE Analysis
Wall was initially expected to be available for the start of the Rockets' second-half schedule, but he will now miss his third straight game since its resumption. His absence means Victor Oladipo will be relied more on as a play-maker, while Kevin Porter and Sterling Brown could also see extra minutes. The veteran point guard's next chance to return will come Tuesday against the Hawks.

Wall (knee) is ruled out for Friday's game against the Jazz, Cayleigh Griffin of AT&T SportsNet Southwest reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wall will miss both games of Houston's back-to-back set against the Jazz. He was initially expected to be available for the start of the Rockets' second-half schedule, but a bruised left knee sustained during Wednesday's practice has forced a change of plans. With Victor Oladipo (rest), Eric Gordon (groin), Danuel House (knee) and Christian Wood (ankle) also out Friday, Houston will likely be forced to rely heavily on Kevin Porter, Ben McLemore, Sterling Brown and Kenyon Martin.

Rockets head coach Stephen Silas suggested after Thursday's 125-105 loss to the Kings that Wall (knee) may not be available to play Friday in Utah, Adam Spolane of Sports Radio 610 Houston reports.
EDGE Analysis
Coming out of the All-Star break, Silas indicated that Wall would likely be available for both ends of the Rockets' back-to-back set to begin their second-half schedule, but those plans changed when the point guard made knee-to-knee contact with a teammate during Wednesday's practice, according to Cayleigh Griffin of AT&T SportsNet Southwest. Wall woke up with soreness and stiffness in his left knee and was ruled out for Thursday's contest, and the coach's postgame comments didn't offer much confidence that the 30-year-old would be ready to go for Friday. With Christian Wood (ankle), Eric Gordon (groin), P.J. Tucker (coach's decision), Dante Exum (calf), David Nwaba (wrist), Danuel House (knee), Rodions Kurucs (oblique) already ruled out for the contest on top of Wall and Victor Oladipo (rest) both being at risk of sitting out as well, Houston could have as few as eight players available. Kevin Porter -- who posted 13 points and 10 assists over 29 minutes in his Rockets debut Thursday -- would likely handle most of the ball-handling and playmaking responsibilities if Wall sits.

Wall (knee) will not play Thursday against the Kings, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wall will miss his first game since Feb. 8 due to a bruised left knee. The injury comes after he went off for 36 points in the team's final game before the All-Star break, so it may have been something he picked up in practice. His absence will likely mean more playing time for Kevin Porter, Eric Gordon and Sterling Brown.

Wall is questionable for Thursday's game against the Kings due to a bruised left knee.
EDGE Analysis
Wall is a late addition to Thursday's injury report. If the point guard doesn't play, that could lead to more playing time for Kevin Porter, Eric Gordon (knee) and Sterling Brown.

Wall had 36 points (12-30 FG, 5-12 3Pt, 7-11 FT), five assists, two rebounds and a block across 41 minutes in Wednesday's loss against the Nets.
EDGE Analysis
Wall has now scored 30 or more points in back-to-back games, and he has reached the 20-point mark in four of his last five contests. The veteran point guard is firmly established as the Rockets' main offensive threat and the numbers are backing him up to be a solid contributor on a nightly basis.

Wall scored 32 points (11-24 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 9-12 FT), five assists, three rebounds, a steal and a block across 40 minutes in Monday's loss against the Cavaliers.
EDGE Analysis
Wall didn't have his best night shooting the rock, but the fact that he made 12 trips to the charity stripe -- draining nine attempts -- certainly boosted his scoring figures. In fact, this was Wall's best scoring output of the campaign and the first time he surpasses the 30-point plateau this season. He has, however, scored at least 20 points in six of his last eight appearances.
