6 HOURS AGO • YOUTUBE

Massive stat line in narrow win Thompson amassed 19 points (7-15 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-7 FT), 13 rebounds, four assists, five blocks and two steals over 41 minutes during Monday's 120-118 victory over Memphis.

Impact Although it was teammate Jalen Green who stole the show with a game-high 42 points, Thompson put his fingerprints all over Monday's game while tallying his 10th double-double of the campaign and matching his season high of five swats. The 21-year-old former No. 3 overall pick continues to take a considerable leap in his second season, as he's averaging 15.6 points, 11.0 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 1.9 blocks, 1.4 steals and 0.4 three-pointers in 37.2 minutes over his last eight contests (seven starts). The versatile Thompson should continue starting for the Rockets as long as Jabari Smith (hand) remains on the shelf, bolstering the latter's fantasy upside in the interim.

He's averaging 15.2 points, 10.6 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.8 blocks per game over his last six outings.

Confirmed starter Sunday Thompson is in the Rockets' starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Lakers, Danielle Lerner of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Impact Thompson has finished serving a two-game suspension due to an on-court altercation he had with Tyler Herro against the Heat on Sunday, Dec. 29.

Thompson, Herro, Terry Rozier and Jalen Green were all ejected from the game but only Thompson and Rozier received suspensions, with the latter forced to miss only one game. Thompson's next chance to suit up will come Sunday against the Lakers. In his absence, Cam Whitmore could see more playing time.

Gets ejected Sunday Thompson was ejected late in the fourth quarter of Sunday's game against the Heat, Jackson Gatlin of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

Impact Thompson got into an altercation with Tyler Herro, with the former throwing the latter to the ground. Thompson and Herro were ejected shortly after, as well as Terry Rozier and Jalen Green. Thompson's night will end with five points, five rebounds, five assists and one steal over 32 minutes.

Coming off bench Sunday Thompson is not in the Rockets' starting lineup against the Heat on Sunday, Danielle Lerner of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Impact Thompson started in the Rockets' last three games due to the absence of Dillon Brooks (ankle). Over that span, Thompson averaged 16.0 points, 10.7 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 3.0 blocks and 1.0 steals over 36.0 minutes per contest.

DECEMBER 29, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Double-double in Friday's loss Thompson logged 20 points (9-12 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 11 rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal over 39 minutes during Friday's 113-112 loss to the Timberwolves.

Impact Making his third straight start in place of Dillon Brooks (ankle), Thompson recorded his seventh double-double of the season. He's pulled down double-digit boards in all three of his recent starts, averaging 16.0 points, 10.7 rebounds, 3.0 blocks, 2.3 assists and 1.0 steals while shooting 58.3 percent from the floor. Brooks likely won't be sidelined much longer, but Thompson's outstanding production in the veteran's place should force coach J.B. Bickerstaff to at least consider keeping the fourth overall pick in the 2023 NBA Draft in the starting five.

Another great defensive effort Thompson recorded nine points (4-8 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 10 rebounds, three assists, five blocks and one steal in 31 minutes during Thursday's 128-111 win over New Orleans.

Impact Thompson got his second consecutive start with Dillon Brooks (ankle) sidelined. The sophomore continues to thrive when given starting responsibilities, averaging 15.8 points, 9.3 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 3.3 blocks and 1.8 steals across 234.0 minutes. Thompson's role fluctuates more than fantasy managers would like, but he's worth rostering in most formats given his upside.

DECEMBER 27, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Fills stat sheet in spot start Thompson notched 19 points (8-16 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), 11 rebounds, three assists, three blocks and one steal across 38 minutes during Monday's 114-101 win over the Hornets.

Impact Thompson got the start at power forward due to the absence of Dillon Brooks (ankle), and the second-year forward did an excellent job of filling out the stat sheet while leaving his mark on both ends of the court. Thompson's fantasy upside will be strictly tied to Brooks' availability, but it's undeniable that he's shown promise when given enough minutes. Across three starts this season, Thompson is averaging 18.0 points, 9.0 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 2.7 blocks and 2.0 steals per game.
