Description: Rockets forward Thomas Robinson had 12 points, seven rebounds and one steal in 20 minutes of play off the bench Wednesday against Phoenix. | Insight: Robinson hasn't received the minutes boost that we expected after being traded to Houston. Donatas Motiejunas has moved into the starting lineup instead while Robinson gets inconsistent playing time on the bench. | | |

Description: Rockets forward Thomas Robinson has not received the minutes boost we expected since joining Houston. He's only playing 14 mpg in six games, down from 16 with Sacramento. | Insight: We expected Robinson to take over the starting PF spot after Patrick Patterson was traded for him. However, Donatas Motiejunas has taken over that role. The Rockets likely still have plans to get Robinson involved in the rotation but until that happens he's useless to fantasy owners. | | |

Description: Rockets forward Thomas Robinson made 3-of-4 from the field and 4-of-6 from the free-throw line in 18 minutes of play for 10 points Sunday against the Mavericks. He added eight rebounds and three steals. | Insight: Robinson only played 10.5 ppg and attempted two field goals in his first two games with the Rockets but he received more minutes Sunday with the team up big on Dallas. We eventually expect Robinson to replace Donatas Motiejunas in the starting lineup, but until that happens he won't put up many fantasy worthy lines. | | |

Description: Forward Thomas Robinson only played eight minutes and scored two points in his Rockets debut Wednesday night. He has been working daily with coach Kevin McHale and assistant coach J.B. Bickerstaff on low-post drills, accoridng to the Houston Chronicle. | Insight: McHale is a Hall of Fame big man so Robinson is in good hands. Donatas Montiejunas has started and played 24.5 minutes over the last two games but Robinson is a more highly regarded prospect and should eventually take over starting duties. Fantasy owners should exercise patience if they can. | | |

Description: Thomas Robinson will make his Rockets debut on Wednesday, coach Kevin McHale said. SOURCE: David Barron, Houston Chronicle | Insight: Houston sent power forwards Patrick Patterson and Marcus Morris packing, leaving Robinson as the best option to fill the void. He's worth a look in fantasy leagues, as 25 mpg is a possibility immediately, even with Donatas Montiejunas named as the starter for Wednesday. | | |

Description: The Kings have traded power forward Thomas Robinson to the Rockets for Patrick Patterson, Cole Aldrich and Toney Douglas. SOURCE: Adrian Wojnarowski, Yahoo!

Description: Sacramento forward Thomas Robinson was taken to the locker room after getting hit in the mouth Saturday against Charlotte. His return is questionable. | Insight: Robinson (4.6 ppg) only lasted a minute before getting injured. His X-rays came back negative but he might still be a bit sore after getting stitches. We're guessing the Kings will play it safe here and give Robinson the rest of the night off. | | |

Description: Kings power forward Thomas Robinson will serve a two-game suspension after elbowing Pistons forward Jonas Jerebko in the throat Wednesday in Sacramento. | Insight: That's not how you want to begin your rookie season.
