He also became the second player in team history to score 30 points, grab 10 rebounds and hit eight three-pointers in a game, joining James Harden.

Monster performance not enough Wood produced 32 points (11-14 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 6-8 FT), 13 rebounds, seven assists, three blocks and two steals over 34 minutes during Friday's 121-118 loss to the Pacers.

Impact Wood finished with team highs in points and rebounds en route to his 30th double-double of the campaign. His 32 points were one short of his season high and it was the 20th time he grabbed at least 13 rebounds. Wood also displayed his defensive instincts by registering multiple blocks and multiple steals in the same game for just the second time this season. After a three-game absence due to an illness, the undrafted (2015) big man put together back-to-back modest performances, but he appears to have gotten back on track Friday. Wood will look to build off his stellar performance Sunday against the Grizzlies.

Comes close to double-double Wood accumulated 18 points (5-12 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 6-9 FT), nine rebounds and one assist across 27 minutes during Wednesday's 129-112 loss to the Suns.

Impact Wood ended just one rebound away from posting a double-double, but he hasn't been playing well since returning from a three-game absence due to illness. The big man hasn't recorded a double-double since Mar. 6, but he's still averaging 19.5 points and 10.2 rebounds per game across six appearances this month.

Uninspired performance Sunday Wood accumulated eight points (3-9 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 12 rebounds, four assists and one block across 26 minutes during Sunday's 130-105 loss to New Orleans.

Impact Wood returned to action Sunday but was unable to deliver the kind of performance managers would have been hoping for. The Rockets were torn apart by the Pelicans, resulting in limited minutes for all of the starters, Wood included. Given the Rockets are playing for very little, knowing what they are going to do with their rotation moving forward is riddled with uncertainty. Wood remains a must-roster player but it wouldn't be surprising to see his production fluctuate the rest of the way, much like it has all season.
