JALEN GREEN NEWS

Iffy against Portland Green (illness) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game versus the Trail Blazers.

Impact Green is in danger of missing his first game of the season Wednesday after missing Tuesday's practice with a non-COVID illness. If Green is unable to suit, Amen Thompson and Aaron Holiday would be candidates to receive increased playing time.

Dealing with illness Green was unable to practice Tuesday because of an illness, Adam Spolane of Sports Radio 610 Houston reports.

Impact Green's status for Wednesday's game against Portland is undetermined, potentially jeopardizing his perfect attendance thus far. Fred VanVleet is on track to return following a one-game absence due to back soreness, joining an otherwise healthy Rockets' backcourt.

Misses all five three's vs. Knicks Green contributed 15 points (6-15 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT), seven rebounds, one assist and one steal over 29 minutes in Wednesday's 109-94 loss to the Knicks.

Impact Green has scored in double digits in each of his last 12 games. He has struggled from three as of late and has shot just 21.3 percent from beyond the arc over his last seven appearances. Green is still a solid contributor and is averaging 17.7 points, 5.0 rebounds and 3.3 assists over 30.6 minutes per game in January.

Sets season high as top scorer Green posted 20 points (7-16 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 5-7 FT), five rebounds and three assists over 27 minutes in Monday's 124-115 loss to Philadelphia.

Impact Green led all Rockets in scoring while hauling in a handful of rebounds and adding a trio of assists over just 27 minutes of action. Green has crossed the 20-point mark in 17 games this season, adding at least five boards in 10 of those outings. Green has scored 20 or more points in two of his last three appearances.

Pops for 28 in Friday's win Green amassed 28 points (9-25 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 8-9 FT), four rebounds, three assists, one block and two steals in 39 minutes during Friday's 112-110 win over Detroit.

Impact The third-year guard has seen his usage take a step backward in 2023-24 as the Rockets' roster is deeper this season that it's been in a while, but Green has still been productive. He's scored in double digits in nine straight games, averaging 20.3 points, 5.3 boards, 3.7 assists and 3.3 threes during that stretch, but that follows a sluggish December in which he didn't score more than 17 points in nine straight.

Needs 19 shots to score 18 points Green amassed 18 points (8-19 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 0-1 FT), six rebounds, eight assists and one steal across 40 minutes during Wednesday's 124-119 overtime loss to Chicago.

Impact Green has scored in double digits in eight consecutive games, and while he will get enough touches to remain relevant in fantasy across all formats, his lack of efficiency certainly limits his upside in some formats. During that eight-game stretch, Green is averaging 19.4 points per game while shooting just 43.1 percent from the field.

Comes close to double-double Green ended with 14 points (5-15 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 1-2 FT), eight rebounds and four assists over 31 minutes during Wednesday's 112-101 victory over Brooklyn.

Impact Green didn't have a good shooting performance after ending with 14 points on 15 field goals, but those efficiency woes come with Green's scoring arsenal. Fortunately for him, he's finding ways to contribute in other categories, and while his lack of efficiency as a shooter will always hurt his upside, his ability to make an impact in other areas can compensate for that. Green is averaging 16.5 points, 4.7 rebounds and 3.2 assists over his last 10 games, a span in which he's shooting just 40.1 percent from the field and 39.7 percent from deep.

Strong from deep in 20-point game Green amassed 22 points (6-12 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 5-6 FT), five rebounds, one assist and one steal across 27 minutes during Monday's 136-113 win over the Pistons.

Impact Green led all players in the New Year's Day contest in threes made while adding a handful or rebounds and ending as one of two Rockets with 20 or more points in a blowout win. Green has connected on five or more threes in five outings this year, including in three straight contests. He has surpassed the 20-point mark on 15 occasions this season.

JANUARY 2 • ROTOWIRE

Efficient against Philadelphia Green totaled 31 points (12-19 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 2-4 FT), six rebounds and four assists over 36 minutes during Friday's 131-127 loss to the 76ers.

Impact Green endured a rough patch between Dec. 11 and Dec. 26, a span in which he averaged just 11.6 points per game while shooting 30.5 percent from the field, but he seems to be leaving those woes behind after surpassing the 25-point mark in his last two outings. The inconsistencies and lack of efficiency are something that tends to happen with Green on a regular basis, but his fantasy stock lies more on his offensive volume rather than being an efficient shooter.

Finds range despite loss Green chipped in 23 points (8-20 FG, 6-12 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five rebounds, three assists and one steal across 26 minutes during Wednesday's 129-113 loss to the Suns.

Impact Green delivered a strong offensive performance despite the loss, scoring 23 points including 6-of-12 from the three-point line. This was the first time Green had scored more than 20 points in almost three weeks. With Dillon Brooks (oblique) sidelined, Green will have to do more on both ends of the floor for the foreseeable future. If he was dropped in your league, now is a good time to take a chance on a player we have seen catch fire in the past.

Productive in defeat Green racked up 16 points (6-11 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds and seven assists in 29 minutes during Sunday's 128-119 loss to the Bucks.

Impact Although the Rockets were unable to pick up the win during Sunday's matchup, Green posted a well-rounded stat line that included his second-highest assist total of the year. He's been held under 30 minutes of playing time in his last four appearances, averaging 11.3 points, 4.0 assists and 3.3 rebounds in 26.3 minutes per game.

Strong offneisve showing Green closed Friday's 114-106 victory over the Nuggets with 25 points (8-17 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 7-9 FT), three rebounds and one assist over 35 minutes.

Impact Green scored at least 20 points for just the second time in the past five games, helping the Rockets to an impressive road victory. He currently sits outside the top 200 in nine-category leagues, thanks largely to the fact he is shooting just 42.7 percent from the field, adding 0.5 steals per game. He remains a must-roster player but is better suited for points leagues and those punting percentages.

Green scores 26 as Rockets beat Nuggets 114-106 for 1st road win

Jalen Green scored 26 points, Fred VanVleet had 25 and the Houston Rockets withstood a furious Denver rally to beat the Nuggets 114-106 for their first road win of the season

DECEMBER 9, 2023 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Comes close to double-double Green closed with 26 points (8-12 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 5-6 FT), six rebounds, nine assists and one block in 34 minutes during Wednesday's 134-124 loss to the Nuggets.

Impact Green had one of his best performances of the season, as he was handed more responsibility on offense with Fred VanVleet (thumb) out, but he responded admirably while ending just one assist shy of what would've been his first double-double of the season. Green hasn't been very consistent with his scoring figures of late but seems to be turning a corner after scoring at least 25 points in three of his last four outings.

Explodes for season-high 34 points Green amassed 34 points (13-26 FG, 3-13 3Pt, 5-5 FT), two rebounds, four assists and one steal across 30 minutes during Wednesday's 111-91 win over Memphis.

Impact Green has been inconsistent to start 2023-24, but Wednesday's outing was one of his best performances of the campaign. He needed 26 shots to score 34 points, but despite some poor three-point shooting, Green was actually quite efficient from the field. On the season, the third-year wing is averaging 19.2 points, 4.4 rebounds and 2.9 assists with 41/33/80 shooting splits.

Held to nine points Green ended with nine points (3-10 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 1-3 FT), six rebounds, three assists and one block over 31 minutes during Sunday's 105-104 loss to the Lakers.

Impact Green's production has been a bit of a rollercoaster for most of the season due to his streaky shooting. Through eight November games, Green is shooting 39.3 percent from the field, but he's hitting his three-pointers at a 40.9 percent clip.

Drops 20 points in defeat Green notched 20 points (5-16 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 9-10 FT), four rebounds, five assists and one block across 33 minutes during Friday's 106-100 loss to the Clippers.

Impact Green was held to a single-digit scoring total for the first time this season during Sunday's win over the Nuggets, but he bounced back Friday by scoring at least 20 points for the fourth time in his last five appearances. However, he wasn't particularly efficient from the floor Friday and has now converted just 20.7 percent of his field-goal attempts over his last two outings. Despite his recent inefficiency, Green is still a reliable scoring threat.

Soars to season-high point total Green ended Wednesday's 128-94 win over the Lakers with 28 points (11-15 FG, 5-6 3Pt, 1-4 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and one steal over 21 minutes.

Impact Green didn't play in the fourth quarter with Houston holding a big lead, yet he rode an ultra-efficient 11-for-15 mark from the field to a game-high point total that also ranked as his best scoring effort so far in the young season. The third-year guard scored more than half of his points from three-point range, where he shot a red-hot 5-for-6. Green has surpassed 20 points in five of his seven contests on the campaign, and he's the Rockets' top scorer so far with an average of 19.6 points per game.
