Carries Rockets in defeat Green supplied 33 points (13-21 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT), five rebounds, two assists and one steal in 35 minutes during Friday's 129-122 loss to the Grizzlies.

Impact Green posted underwhelming numbers in the season opener with 16 points across 20 shots, but he bounced back admirably here and carried the team despite the loss, as Green couldn't outplay Ja Morant in a duel between two of the most exciting young guards in The Association. While Green should be prone to having a few days off from time to time, his role as Houston's main offensive threat shouldn't be under question.

Records 16 points in loss Green notched 16 points (7-20 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 1-1 FT), five rebounds, three assists, one block and a steal over 32 minutes during Wednesday's loss to the Hawks.

Impact Green scored seven of his 16 points in the first quarter on 3-of-7 shooting from the field while also turning it over twice in the period. He knocked down only one shot in the second quarter, a three-pointer which came off an assist from Bruno Fernando, while also grabbing up four rebounds and two assists before halftime. The Houston guard followed that up with six second-half points and failed to knock down any of his four three-point attempts over the final two quarters.

Explodes for game-high 33 points Green amassed 33 points (10-15 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 9-9 FT), three assists, one rebound and one steal in 29 minutes during Friday's preseason win over the Pacers.

Impact Green caught fire in the victory, ending his preseason with a bang. After a strong end to his rookie campaign, Green comes into his sophomore season with a decent amount of hype. Managers wishing to acquire his services will have to reach into the fifth round of many drafts. However, do remember that his peripheral production remains questionable, adding a small element of risk to his upside.
