Adams (calf) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Mavericks.

Adams missed Houston's final two preseason games for rest purposes but is now dealing with right calf tightness ahead of the club's regular-season opener. If the veteran big man is unable to suit up, Clint Capela figures to see increased playing time behind Alperen Sengun.

How it's counted

Each situation shows this player's numbers in those games, with the difference from their full-season line in parentheses. The definition sits under each situation name. Situations overlap: one game can count in several.

True shooting is one shooting number that folds in threes and free throws; its differences are in points of TS%. Every final box score counts — there is no minutes cutoff. Fewer than 5 games reads as a small sample. These splits describe what happened. They do not prove the schedule caused it.
