Records double-double VanVleet posted 18 points (7-15 FG, 4-8 3Pt), seven rebounds, 10 assists and two steals over 33 minutes during Friday's 125-104 victory over the Clippers.
Impact VanVleet has been struggling with his shot all season long, but the veteran point guard took a step in the right direction Friday with an efficient effort that led him to posting his second double-double of the campaign. The veteran floor general came close to reaching a triple-double as well, coming up short of that achievement by just three boards. VanVleet could aim to build off this performance going forward, because even after this strong showing, he's just averaging 13.8 points per game while shooting 38 percent from the floor and 30.2 percent from beyond the arc.

Off injury report for Friday VanVleet (hamstring) is not listed on the injury report ahead of Friday's matchup against the Clippers.
Impact VanVleet played through the left hamstring soreness during Wednesday's win over the Clippers, and he is expected to shoulder his normal workload in Friday's rematch. The 30-year-old has struggled from the field while shooting 37.3 percent through 11 regular-season outings, and he has averaged 13.4 points, 5.7 assists, 4.0 rebounds and 1.7 steals across 35.5 minutes per game.

Scores 15 points in return VanVleet posted 15 points (6-18 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five rebounds, five assists, two blocks and two steals in 34 minutes during Wednesday's 111-103 victory over the Clippers.
Impact The final stat line might look decent on the surface for VanVleet, who returned to the starting unit after a one-game absence due to left hamstring soreness, but it doesn't change the fact that the veteran floor general is having a tough start to the season. He's getting his numbers as a scorer and playmaker, but overall, VanVleet is averaging a mere 13.4 points and 5.7 assists per game while shooting 37.3 percent from the field. To put things into context, these are the veteran's worst numbers in the six years in which he's been an established starter at the NBA level.

Questionable for Wednesday vs. LAC VanVleet (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Clippers.
Impact VanVleet is in jeopardy of missing his second consecutive game due to left hamstring soreness, though Monday's absence was the second game of a back-to-back set. The 30-year-old has seen a decrease in production through 10 regular-season outings in the 2024-25 campaign, during which he has averaged 13.2 points, 5.8 assists, 3.9 rebounds and 1.7 steals while shooting 37.9 percent from the field across 35.6 minutes per game.

Won't play Monday VanVleet (hamstring) will not play Monday against the Wizards.
Impact Monday's game is the second leg of a back-to-back set, so it's possible the Rockets are being cautious. VanVleet managed to play 37 minutes Sunday against the Pistons with no report of an injury. With the veteran guard sidelined, Jalen Green could soak up a ton of usage, while Amen Thompson, Reed Sheppard and Aaron Holiday could see more run.

Struggles with shot VanVleet totaled seven points (3-13 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 0-2 FT), seven rebounds, seven assists, one block and three steals in 37 minutes during Sunday's 101-99 win over the Pistons.
Impact Vanvleet has really struggled with his shot to open the season, and his counting stats have really suffered too. Through the opening 10 games of the campaign, he's posting averages of 13.2 points, 5.8 assists, 3.9 rebounds, 1.7 steals and 2.0 three-pointers while hitting 37.6 percent from the field and 28.2 percent from beyond the arc.

Sniffs triple-double in win VanVleet accumulated 21 points (10-11 FG, 1-2 3Pt), seven rebounds, 10 assists and two steals in 25 minutes during Wednesday's 127-100 victory over the Spurs.
Impact VanVleet delivered his best game of the season Monday, setting up season-high marks in points, rebounds and assists while ending just three boards shy of a triple-double. With Alperen Sengun and Jalen Green entrenched as the Rockets' go-to options on offense, VanVleet's upside has reduced a little. However, he remains a solid contributor across all formats due to the impact he can make on both ends of the court. VanVleet is averaging 14.3 points, 6.1 assists, 3.6 rebounds and 1.6 steals per game across his first eight outings.

Bounces back in win VanVleet ended Monday's 109-97 victory over New York with 19 points (8-13 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five assists, two rebounds, two steals and one block over 36 minutes.
Impact VanVleet ended as the club's second-leading scorer behind Alperen Sengun (25) in the win. After a three-game span in which the 30-year-old shot 20.5 percent from the field, he produced a bounce-back outing with an efficient game. VanVleet's offensive production has been limited thus far, and he has averaged 13.3 points, 5.6 assists, 3.1 rebounds and 1.6 steals across 37.6 minutes per game in seven regular-season outings. However, he remains a crucial part of the Rockets' frontcourt and has also racked up two-plus steals in four outings.

Struggles from floor Thursday VanVleet had four points (2-13 FG, 0-7 3Pt), five rebounds and four assists in 39 minutes during Thursday's 108-102 win over Dallas.
Impact VanVleet's four-point performance Thursday was his lowest scoring output since January 29 of the 2023-24 regular season against the Lakers (three). He's averaging just 12.6 points per game on 30.3 percent shooting to start the 2024-25 campaign, and while he's taken a back seat to Jalen Green and Alperen Sengun on offense, VanVleet will still be the Rockets' floor general and provide fantasy value in assists.
