Propels Rockets to win Monday Green closed Monday's 122-97 win over the Kings with 23 points (5-9 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 10-12 FT), two rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal in 26 minutes.

Impact Green is still adjusting to playing a bit more off the ball with Fred VanVleet as the starting point guard, but that backcourt pairing is paying off dividends for a Houston team that has now won three games in a row. Green is trending in the right direction as well and has scored at least 20 points in four of his last five appearances. Through six outings, he's averaging 18.2 points, 3.8 rebounds and 2.5 assists per game while shooting 37 percent from three-point range.

Green scores 23, VanVleet 22 as the Rockets earn 1st win of the season, beating the Hornets 128-119

Jalen Green scored 23 and Fred VanVleet added 22 points and 11 assists as the Houston Rockets earned their first win of the season, 128-119 over the Charlotte Hornets

Fourth-year option picked up The Rockets exercised Green's fourth-year team option for 2024-25 on Monday.

Impact As anticipated, Houston will maintain control on Green -- the second overall pick from the 2021 NBA Draft -- for his first four seasons in the league. The 21-year-old has proven to be an adept scorer through his first two-plus NBA campaigns, but he may need to improve his efficiency and show he can create for others before the Rockets opt to offer him a long-term extension.

Puts up 21 points despite loss Green finished with 21 points (8-20 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 4-5 FT), nine rebounds, one assist and one block over 38 minutes during Sunday's 106-95 loss to Golden State.

Impact Green finished one rebound away from recording a double-double, but he showed a never-give-up attitude in a game where the Rockets competed hard against a Western Conference contender. Green's role as one of Houston's main scoring threats is set in stone, and he's beginning to back that up with his play, as he has recorded 20-plus points in each of his last two outings following a tepid performance in his regular-season debut.

Goes for 22 points against SAS Green contributed 22 points (10-20 FG, 2-6 3Pt), five rebounds and four assists in 38 minutes during Friday's 126-122 overtime loss to the Spurs.

Impact Green looked woeful against the Magic in the season opener Wednesday, putting up just 10 points (2-10 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 6-7 FT) while committing four turnovers and dishing out zero assists, but he bounced back admirably here. Green will likely see his usage rate decrease this season following the arrival of Fred VanVleet, something that's beginning to become noticeable just two games into the regular season, but the young shooting guard should remain a valuable player for Houston on the offensive end of the court.

Ready to roll Friday Green (toe) said he's "ready to play" Friday against the Heat, Coty M. Davis of SI.com reports.

Impact Green has been sidelined recently due to a toenail issue, but he'll get some playing time during Houston's preseason finale to make sure he's as close to 100 percent as possible for the regular season. With Fred VanVleet in town, Green may see his usage decrease slightly this year, but he should remain a focal point of the Rockets' offense.

Ruled out Wednesday Green (toe) will not play in Wednesday's preseason game against the Spurs, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Impact Green isn't 100 percent yet due to a toenail issue. He'll have one more chance to play in the preseason against the Heat on Friday before Opening Night against the Magic on Oct. 25.

Puts up 11 points Tuesday Green notched 11 points (5-12 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 1-5 FT), three rebounds, two assists and a steal across 24 minutes in Tuesday's 122-103 preseason win over the Pacers.

Impact Green wasn't accurate with his shot, and just like Fred VanVleet, he also ended with more field goal attempts (12) than points scored (11), though that is not likely to be an issue in the long run. Green received praise for his play while the Team USA was preparing for the 2023 FIBA World Cup despite not being part of the roster that featured in the tournament, and all signs point to Green taking a major leap in his play in 2023-24.
