Jalen Green Injury News & Updates
Keep up with the latest injuries from the Suns vs Thunder game on tomorrow with our National Basketball Association injury report.Nov 11, 2025
Out for at least four weeks
Green (hamstring) will be re-evaluated in four-to-six weeks, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Green aggravated a right hamstring strain, which first cost him the onset of the season, during Saturday's game against the Clippers, and he's now facing another extended absence. The star guard's timetable for a return could keep him on the shelf through mid-December. Both Grayson Allen and Royce O'Neale should be able to hold onto a boost in fantasy value, and Collin Gillespie is another candidate for increased playing time for the time being.
Nov 9, 2025
Ruled out vs. New Orleans
Green (hamstring) has been ruled out for Monday's game against New Orleans.
ANALYSIS
Green exited Saturday's win over the Clippers in the first quarter and was unable to return due to a right hamstring injury. His next opportunity to play will come Wednesday against the Mavericks. With the 23-year-old shooting guard sidelined, Jordan Goodwin and Collin Gillespie are candidates for increased minutes.
Nov 8, 2025
Won't return Saturday
Green (hamstring) won't return to Saturday's game against the Clippers, Amanda Pflugrad of 3TV Phoenix reports. He posted two points (1-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt), a rebound and an assist across seven minutes before leaving the game.
ANALYSIS
This is far from a surprising development, as Green had to be helped off the court after the injury. The absence of the star guard means Grayson Allen and Jordan Goodwin, as well as potentially Collin Gillespie, could see more minutes in the backcourt next to Devin Booker. Further tests will likely be needed to determine whether Green will be available to face the Pelicans on Monday.
Nov 8, 2025
Exits with hamstring injury
Green exited Saturday's game against the Clippers with a right hamstring injury, Amanda Pflugrad of 3TV Phoenix reports.
ANALYSIS
Green had to be helped off the court by the training staff, which isn't encouraging. The Suns will rest Sunday before facing the Pelicans on Monday, and further updates regarding Green's health will be needed to determine if he's going to miss time.
Nov 7, 2025
Impresses in season debut
Green closed with 29 points (10-20 FG, 6-13 3Pt, 3-5 FT), three rebounds, three assists and two steals in 23 minutes during Thursday's 115-102 victory over the Clippers.
ANALYSIS
It was reported before Thursday's tipoff that Green would be on a minute restriction, but that didn't prevent him from making his mark as a scorer. He was particularly impressive from beyond the arc, as he become the first player in Suns history to sink six triples in his team debut. Green also chipped in on the opposite end of the court, where he was one of three starters to collect two or more swipes.
Nov 6, 2025
Ready for 2025-26 debut
Green (hamstring) will play in Thursday's game against the Clippers, Kellan Olson of ArizonaSports.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Green is ready to make his first appearance of the season after putting a right hamstring injury behind him. He'll presumably enter the starting lineup for Thursday's clash, which would bump Grayson Allen to the bench. Olson notes that Green will have a "target number" of minutes in his first matchup of the season, so fantasy managers should temper expectations, at least for his first game or two.
Nov 6, 2025
Goes through shootaround
Green (hamstring) participated in Thursday's morning shootaround, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.
ANALYSIS
All signs continue to point to Green making his season debut against the Clippers on Thursday. Green is officially listed as probable, and it will be interesting to see how the Suns handle his minutes in his season debut.
Nov 5, 2025
Probable for Thursday
Green (hamstring) is probable to play Thursday against the Clippers.
ANALYSIS
It looks like Green will be making his Phoenix debut Thursday evening, which will likely result in either Ryan Dunn or Royce O'Neale heading to the second unit. We'd anticipate some minutes restrictions for Green in his first game back from the hamstring injury, but even on a 20-minute limit, he's worth deploying in most fantasy leagues.
Nov 3, 2025
Out again Tuesday
Green (hamstring) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Warriors.
ANALYSIS
Green has yet to make an appearance this season while tending to a right hamstring strain. His next opportunity to take the floor will arrive Thursday against the Clippers.
Nov 1, 2025
Won't debut Sunday
Green (hamstring) will not play Sunday against the Spurs.
ANALYSIS
Although he's not ready to make his season debut Sunday, Green is getting closer to a return -- he participated in some 5-on-5 work prior to Saturday's practice. Green's next chance to play comes Tuesday against Golden State.
Nov 1, 2025
Participates in 5-on-5 work
Green (hamstring) participated in 5-on-5 action before Saturday's practice, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.
ANALYSIS
Green has yet to make his season debut due to a right hamstring strain but is considered day-to-day. The 23-year-old shooting guard's participation in 5-on-5 work bodes well for his status ahead of Sunday's game against the Spurs, and the Suns are expected to provide an update by Saturday night. If Green remains sidelined, Grayson Allen and Jordan Goodwin will likely continue to see increased minutes.
Oct 30, 2025
Remains out
Green (hamstring) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Jazz, Shane Young of Forbes.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Green has yet to make his debut with his new team. The next chance for him to make his season debut will be Sunday against the Spurs.
Oct 29, 2025
Considered day-to-day
Green (hamstring) is considered day-to-day, Kellan Olson of ArizonaSports.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Green continues to deal with a hamstring injury, which has prevented him from making his debut with his new squad. The next opportunity for him to make his season debut will be Friday against the Jazz.
Oct 29, 2025
Won't play Wednesday
Green (hamstring) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Grizzlies, John Gambadoro of Arizona Sports 98.7 FM reports.
ANALYSIS
Green was originally listed as questionable for Wednesday's game, which is the first time he's registered that designation this season, so he does appear to be inching towards making his regular-season debut. His next chance to play will come Friday against the Jazz.
Oct 28, 2025
Iffy for Wednesday
Green (hamstring) is questionable to play in Wednesday's game against the Grizzlies.
ANALYSIS
Green has yet to make his debut with his new squad this season, as he continues to deal with a hamstring injury. However, he seems to be trending in the right direction. If he's unable to play, his next chance to get back on the floor will be Friday against the Jazz.
Oct 26, 2025
Remains out
Green (hamstring) is out for Monday's game against the Jazz, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.
ANALYSIS
Green will remain sidelined due to a right hamstring strain. Grayson Allen will continue to see high usage in Green's absence. Green's next chance to debut comes Wednesday against the Grizzlies.
Oct 23, 2025
Out for at least two more games
Head coach Jordan Ott announced Thursday that Green (hamstring) will miss Friday's game against the Clippers and Saturday's game against the Nuggets, per Stephen PridGeon-Gardner of PHNX Suns.
ANALYSIS
Green is still working his way back from a low-grade hamstring strain. The star guard's Suns debut won't come until Monday in Utah at the earliest. Grayson Allen will continue to start in his place and offer enhanced streaming appeal.
Oct 14, 2025
Aggravates hamstring injury
Green aggravated his hamstring injury during the Suns' trip to China and he will be re-evaluated in 10 days, Kellan Olson of ArizonaSports.com reports.
ANALYSIS
This rules Green out for Opening Night, and while he'll be re-evaluated on October 24, that doesn't mean he'll be ready to play by then. Hamstring injuries can be tricky, and given that he's now experienced one setback, the Phoenix medical staff will likely be ultra-cautious bringing him back. The injury news should bump Green down a few rounds on your draft board.
Oct 10, 2025
Aiming to return for Opening Night
The Suns are targeting Opening Night for Green's (hamstring) return to the lineup, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.
ANALYSIS
It doesn't sound like Green will be able to see any preseason action this fall, though he appears to be on track to return from a low-grade hamstring strain for the Oct. 22 regular-season opener against the Kings. If the star guard is unable to be ready for the start of the season, Grayson Allen would likely step into a more pronounced role.
Oct 10, 2025
Doesn't suit up Friday
Green (hamstring) did not suit up for Friday's preseason game against the Nets, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.
ANALYSIS
Green was in street clothes for this contest, marking his second straight absence. He's reportedly closing in on a return, with his next chance to play coming Sunday in a rematch versus the Nets.
Oct 6, 2025
Nearing return to lineup
Green (hamstring) is close to returning to action, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.
ANALYSIS
The Suns held Green out of Friday's preseason opener against the Lakers, but the star guard appears to be on the verge of returning from a low-grade hamstring strain. He can tentatively be considered probable for Friday's exhibition game against the Nets in China. Green's likely return should push Grayson Allen back to a reserve role.
Oct 2, 2025
Managing low-grade hamstring strain
Green (hamstring) is out for Friday's preseason opener against the Lakers, Kellan Olson of ArizonaSports.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Green is nursing a low-grade hamstring strain, and head coach Jordan Ott said the focus is to have the star guard ready for Opening Night. That said, it's possible Green won't see much preseason action this fall. In his absence, Grayson Allen and Ryan Dunn will be candidates for an amplified role.
Apr 13, 2025
Logs perfect attendance again
Green finished with two points (0-7 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds and two assists across 21 minutes during Sunday's 126-111 loss to Denver.
ANALYSIS
It's rare to see an NBA player go one season without missing a game, but Green capped off the season with a two-year streak of court appearances intact. Green took no rest days and appeared in a staggering 163 games over the past two seasons. Green's minutes were limited Sunday and his results followed suit, but he'll be at 100 percent to begin the playoffs next week.
Apr 12, 2025
Plays 15 minutes in loss to LAL
Green had seven points (3-10 FG, 1-4 3Pt), four rebounds, three assists and one steal over 15 minutes during Friday's 140-109 loss to the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
Green didn't play in the second half of Friday's blowout loss, as the Rockets played mostly young players in a game that was out of reach by halftime. The Rockets have been resting their regulars in the final days of the regular season, but it's unclear if Green will rest Sunday against the Nuggets. The star guard currently has the third longest streak of consecutive appearances in the NBA, and that's a streak he probably won't want to snap any time soon.
Apr 10, 2025
Doesn't play second half Wednesday
Green finished Wednesday's 134-117 loss to the Clippers with five points (2-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt) and three assists across 15 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Green logged just 15 minutes before sitting out the second half of Wednesday's contest, allowing Nate Williams to see extended playing time. With the Rockets locked into the second seed in the Western Conference, Green will likely continue to see reduced minutes in Houston's final two contests of the regular season, even if he remains in the starting lineup.
Apr 5, 2025
Leads all scorers with 34 points
Green chipped in 34 points (11-24 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 9-10 FT), four rebounds, five assists, one block and two steals in 38 minutes during Friday's 125-111 win over the Thunder.
ANALYSIS
On top of leading all scorers Friday, Green also provided a full stat line against a tough Thunder defense. The star guard can deliver the occasional dud, as he does have two games with single-digit points since March 12, but he's reached the 20-point marker in 11 of his last 13 games. During this stretch, Green has averaged 24.8 points, 6.2 rebounds, 4.4 assists, 1.1 steals and 3.1 three-pointers in 35.2 minutes.
Apr 3, 2025
Leading scorer in win
Green accumulated 22 points (7-15 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 4-6 FT), four rebounds, two assists and one steal across 28 minutes during Wednesday's 143-105 win over the Jazz.
ANALYSIS
The fourth-year guard didn't play a minute in the fourth quarter during the rout, but Green still led Houston in scoring on the night. He's scored more than 20 points in 10 of the last 12 games, averaging 24.1 points, 6.3 boards, 4.3 assists, 3.1 threes and 1.0 steals during that span as the Rockets try to lock up the No. 2 seed in the Western Conference -- they're three games up on the Nuggets and Lakers, with five games left on their schedule.
Mar 28, 2025
Posts 21 points in victory
Green registered 21 points (8-20 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 1-3 FT), eight rebounds and six assists in 35 minutes during Thursday's 121-110 victory over the Jazz.
ANALYSIS
Green came back to earth after posting two consecutive 30-plus scoring totals, but he still managed a solid line to prop up Houston's backcourt. The Rockets needed Green's support, asFred VanVleet struggled mightily in the win, connecting only 10 percent of his shots. Despite VanVleet's issues, Houston's core is healthy again and getting hot at the right moment, and Green is often atop the box score.
Mar 26, 2025
Explodes for 32 points
Green ended Tuesday's 121-114 win over the Hawks with 32 points (14-24 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 3-5 FT), 11 rebounds, four assists and two steals in 41 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Green carried the Rockets to victory in this game with an impressive scoring display, but fantasy managers who have trusted Green all season long shouldn't be surprised by the way he's been playing of late. He's reached the 30-point mark in three of his last five outings, as well as the 20-point plateau in all but one of his previous eight, so his role as one of the Rockets' most reliable scoring weapons is completely secure.
Mar 20, 2025
Puts up 26 points in win
Green notched 26 points (8-18 FG, 3-11 3Pt, 7-10 FT), seven rebounds and two assists in 37 minutes during Wednesday's 116-108 win over Orlando.
ANALYSIS
Green surpassed the 20-point mark for the fifth consecutive game, and while Alperen Sengun has been one of the most reliable scoring weapons for Houston all season long, Green can take over the offense on some stretches. That seems to be the case now, as this is the fifth time he's recorded at least four consecutive games with at least 20 points. The star guard is averaging 20.7 points, 5.8 rebounds and 4.9 assists per game since the beginning of March.
Mar 18, 2025
Hands out 13 dimes
Green posted 30 points (10-26 FG, 5-17 3Pt, 5-5 FT), seven rebounds, 13 assists, one block and two steals in 45 minutes during Monday's 144-137 overtime victory over the 76ers.
ANALYSIS
The 13 dimes were a season-high mark for Green, and he finished just three boards away from recording a triple-double. The star guard also seems to be riding another of his patented hot streaks in the scoring column since this was his fourth consecutive outing with more than 20 points. Green, who tends to embrace a bigger role in the playmaking department whenever Fred VanVleet (who was ejected Monday) or Amen Thompson (out with an ankle injury) aren't on the court, is averaging a solid line of 20.2 points, 5.7 rebounds, 5.2 assists and 1.2 steals per game since the beginning of March.
Mar 16, 2025
Leading scorer Saturday
Green registered 28 points (11-25 FG, 5-13 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six rebounds, three assists and one block over 38 minutes during Saturday's 117-114 win over the Bulls.
ANALYSIS
The fourth-year guard led all scorers as he topped 20 points for the third straight game. Green fell into a bit of a shooting slump earlier in March, but he's still drained multiple three-pointers in seven straight contests, averaging 18.6 points, 6.0 boards, 4.7 assists, 3.0 threes and 1.0 steals during that span.
Mar 15, 2025
Narrowly misses double-double
Green logged 23 points (9-19 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 1-2 FT), nine rebounds, five assists, two blocks and one steal in 32 minutes during Friday's 133-96 victory over the Mavericks.
ANALYSIS
It was full stat line for Green, who fell just one rebound shy of what would have been his third double-double of the season. The star guard has averaged 20.8 points, 5.6 rebounds, 4.8 assists, 1.0 steals and 3.3 three-pointers in 33.0 minutes over 12 games since the All-Star break, scoring in double figures in all but one of these appearances.
Mar 13, 2025
Pours in 29 points
Green closed Wednesday's 111-104 victory over the Suns with 29 points (8-16 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 10-11 FT), seven rebounds, four assists and three steals over 37 minutes.
ANALYSIS
This was Green's 13th game of the campaign with at least 29 points, and his fifth game with at least three steals. With 66 games under his belt, Green holds averages of 21.1 points, 4.5 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 0.9 steals and 2.9 three-pointers.
Mar 11, 2025
Sniffs triple-double in win
Green closed Monday's 97-84 win over Orlando with 15 points (6-18 FG, 3-9 3Pt), seven rebounds, eight assists and two steals across 32 minutes.
ANALYSIS
The fourth-year guard teased his second career triple-double as he continues to provide a solid fantasy floor for his production. Green has drained at least one three-pointer in 32 straight games dating back to Jan. 2, failing to score in double digits only twice in that span while averaging 22.7 points, 4.4 boards, 4.0 assists, 3.4 threes and 0.7 steals.
Mar 7, 2025
Struggles with shot
Green logged nine points (3-10 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two rebounds, eight assists and one block across 34 minutes during Thursday's 109-97 victory over the Pelicans.
ANALYSIS
This was an off night for Green, as he was held to single-digit points for the first time since Feb. 13. He's averaging 20.0 points, 4.3 assists, 4.1 rebounds and 3.4 three-pointers over his last 10 outings, but his shooting percentages and lack of steals and blocks has held him back in nine-category formats -- he's sitting outside the top-200 during this stretch.
Mar 2, 2025
Scores 24 points in loss Saturday
Green closed Saturday's 113-103 loss to the Kings with 24 points (9-20 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, two assists and one steal in 37 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Green has been on a sizzling note since the All-Star break and posted another impressive stat line Saturday, though his scoring efforts weren't enough to lift the Rockets to victory. Green has surpassed the 20-point mark in his five appearances since the end of the All-Star break, averaging 26.0 points per game and shooting 47.1 percent from the floor during that span.
Feb 27, 2025
Drops 21 in win over San Antonio
Green notched 21 points (9-17 FG, 3-8 3Pt), seven rebounds and four assists over 28 minutes during Wednesday's 118-106 win over the Spurs.
ANALYSIS
The fourth-year guard has come out of the All-Star break on fire, topping 20 points in four straight games. Green has drained multiple threes in 10 straight contests dating back to Feb. 4, a stretch in which he's averaged 22.0 points, 4.7 boards, 4.6 assists and 3.6 threes.
Feb 22, 2025
Leads charge with 35 points
Green racked up a team-high 35 points (12-24 FG, 5-11 3Pt, 6-9 FT), five rebounds, four assists and two steals in 39 minutes during Friday's 121-115 win over the Timberwolves.
ANALYSIS
The fourth-year guard apparently benefitted from some rest over the All-Star break, as he topped 30 points for the first time since Jan. 15. Green's five made threes also led the Rockets, and through nine February contests he's averaging 22.1 points, 4.1 boards, 4.0 assists and 2.9 treys.
Feb 13, 2025
Scores 22 points in win
Green racked up 22 points (8-21 FG, 4-15 3Pt, 2-3 FT), five assists, three rebounds and one block in 37 minutes during Wednesday's 119-111 win over the Suns.
ANALYSIS
The fourth-year guard struggled with efficiency from three-point range in the victory, though he did finish as the club's second-leading scorer behind Tari Eason (25 points). Green has scored 20 or more points in 31 of his 54 regular-season appearances this year. Moreover, he is on pace to shoot a career-high 34.8 percent from beyond the arc. Green has scored 20-plus points in three of his last five games, during which he has averaged 21.0 points, 4.8 rebounds, 4.8 assists and 3.0 three-pointers across 36.6 minutes per contest.
Feb 8, 2025
Scores 24 points vs. Dallas
Green supplied 24 points (10-21 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, six assists and one steal across 41 minutes during Saturday's 116-105 loss to Dallas.
ANALYSIS
Green finished Saturday's game as the Rockets' second-leading scorer behind Alperen Sengun (30). The Rockets are in the midst of a six-game losing streak, and over that span Green has averaged 23.3 points on 41.9 percent shooting, 4.7 assists and 4.3 rebounds over 37.5 minutes per game. Houston will look to break out of its slump against Toronto on Sunday.
Feb 7, 2025
Goes for 28 points Thursday
Green amassed 28 points (9-22 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 7-10 FT), six rebounds, five assists and one steal across 38 minutes during Thursday's 127-114 loss to the Timberwolves.
ANALYSIS
Green didn't have his best shooting display, but the volume he had as Houston's primary scoring weapon allowed him to reach the 20-point mark for the fifth time over his last six outings while also bouncing back from the 13-point display he had in the loss to the Nets on Feb. 4. Green is averaging 23.5 points per game during that aforementioned six-game stretch.
Feb 1, 2025
Game-high 29 points Saturday
Green recorded 29 points (11-24 FG, 3-11 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three rebounds and two assists over 38 minutes during Saturday's 110-98 loss to the Nets.
ANALYSIS
Green wasn't particularly efficient from beyond the arc Saturday, but he managed to lead both teams in scoring and helped the Rockets make a small push late in the fourth quarter. Green has scored at least 25 points in four of his last five games, and since and including Jan. 1 he has averaged 25.9 points, 4.1 rebounds and 3.1 assists over 34.1 minutes per game.
Jan 31, 2025
Scores 25 points
Green notched 25 points (8-21 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 4-5 FT), six rebounds and five assists over 38 minutes during Thursday's 120-119 loss to the Grizzlies.
ANALYSIS
Green has been going through some ups and downs of late, as he's failed to reach the 20-point plateau in three of his last six outings, but he's trending in the right direction after scoring at least 25 in three of his previous four. For the most part, though, Green has been excellent as a scoring weapon for a red-hot Rockets team that had to settle for a one-point loss Thursday. He's averaging 25.7 points, 4.2 rebounds and 3.2 assists per game since the beginning of January.
Jan 27, 2025
Returns for second half
Green (head) has been cleared to start the second half of Monday's game against the Celtics, Kelly Iko of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Green went to the locker room during the second quarter after appearing to suffer a head injury, but he managed to avoid the league's concussion protocol. He'll presumably be a full go the rest of the way.
Jan 27, 2025
Heads to locker room Monday
Green went back to the locker room after sustaining an apparent head injury in the second quarter of Monday's game against Boston, Kelly Iko of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Green hit the deck and grabbed his head before exiting to the locker room. If the 22-year-old is unable to return, Tari Eason and Aaron Holiday will likely see a bump in minutes.
Jan 21, 2025
Scoring streak snapped
Green contributed 19 points (8-21 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, four assists and one steal over 30 minutes during Monday's 107-96 loss to the Pistons.
ANALYSIS
Green saw the end of his nine-game streak with at least 20 points abruptly Monday, as he ended up needing 21 shots just to score 19 points in what was a subpar shooting display from the star guard. One bad performance can't stain what Green has done throughout the month of January, though, where he's been the best player for the Rockets by a wide margin. Through 10 games this month, Green is averaging 28.7 points, 4.2 rebounds and 2.8 assists per game while shooting an impressive 51.2 percent from the floor.
Jan 19, 2025
Hits for 26 points in win
Green ended Saturday's 125-103 victory over Portland with 26 points (10-17 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, one assist and one steal in 29 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Green was the primary catalyst of a third-quarter run that Portland was unable to answer, ultimately sealing the victory for the Rockets. Green's production has been rock-solid throughout the month. The last time Green's scoring total has dipped below 20 points was three weeks ago, and he's been on an aggressive tear of production since, averaging 29.8 points, 4.2 rebounds and 2.7 assists over the past nine games.
Jan 17, 2025
Leads Houston in scoring
Green provided 28 points (10-20 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 4-5 FT), five rebounds, four assists and one block in 34 minutes during Thursday's 132-127 loss to the Kings.
ANALYSIS
Green carried the Rockets offensively once again, and there's no question he's currently riding another one of his patented hot streaks. This was his seventh straight game with at least 25 points, a span in which he's averaging 31.4 points per game while shooting an impressive 53.5 percent from the floor.
Jan 16, 2025
Stays hot with game-high 34 points
Green dropped 34 points (10-16 FG, 6-10 3Pt, 8-8 FT), five assists, a rebound and a block in 30 minutes of action in Wednesday's 128-108 win over the Nuggets.
ANALYSIS
Green has been on fire of late from outside the arc in particular, now averaging 33.0 points on 55.4 percent from the field and 52.9 percent from three-point range over his last five games. He's had stretches like this in the past before his efficiency comes plummeting back down to earth, so it'd be prudent for fantasy managers to remain cautious about getting their hopes up amidst this hot streak. In the meantime, Green will look to prove his consistency against the Kings on Thursday.
Jan 13, 2025
Erupts for 42 points in win
Green finished with 42 points (13-18 FG, 5-6 3Pt, 11-11 FT), three rebounds, four assists and one steal over 40 minutes in Monday's 120-118 victory over the Grizzlies.
ANALYSIS
Green tied his career high in points and was incredibly efficient on the offensive end. He also got to the charity stripe at will, attempting double-digit free throws for just the second time this season. Green has put up 20 or more points in six straight appearances and is averaging 30.0 points during this hot stretch.
Jan 11, 2025
Saturday's game postponed
Green and the Rockets won't play in Saturday's versus the Hawks, as the game has been postponed due to severe weather and hazardous icy conditions in the Atlanta area.
ANALYSIS
The NBA has yet to announce when Saturday's game will be rescheduled. However, the Rockets host Memphis on Monday, so the team should be back in action shortly.
Jan 10, 2025
Chips in 27 points vs. Memphis
Green racked up 27 points (11-21 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds, three assists, one block and three steals over 38 minutes during Thursday's 119-115 victory over Memphis.
ANALYSIS
Green was the Rockets' second-leading scorer Thursday behind Alperen Sengun (32). Green hasn't been a particularly effective shooter from three through his four-year NBA career, but over his last five games he's shooting 41.2 percent from beyond the arc on 10.2 3PA/G. Over that span, he's averaged 27.6 points, 4.8 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.2 steals over 34.8 minutes per game.
Jan 7, 2025
Dominant third quarter in victory
Green produced 29 points (10-22 FG, 7-15 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, two assists and two steals in 30 minutes during Tuesday's 135-112 victory over the Wizards.
ANALYSIS
Green started the game by scoring seven points and shooting 2-for-9 from the field in the first half. However, the 22-year-old erupted for 22 points during the third quarter, during which he sank six triples. Green has scored 20-plus points in each of his last four outings, and he has shot 39.5 percent from beyond the arc in that four-game span.

Good to go Tuesday
Green (knee) is available and in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Wizards, Adam Spolane of Sports Radio 610 Houston reports.
ANALYSIS
Green has been upgraded from questionable to available Tuesday despite dealing with a right knee contusion. There is no indication that the 22-year-old guard will operate on a minutes restriction.
Jan 6, 2025
Iffy for Tuesday
Green is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Wizards with a right knee contusion.
ANALYSIS
This is a new injury for Green, but the questionable tag suggests that it's a day-to-day issue. The timing is unfortunate for Green, as he's been on a tear over his last three games with averages of 27.3 points, 4.7 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 1.0 blocks and 3.3 three-pointers. If he's unable to play Tuesday, Cam Whitmore could potentially get some extended run with Reed Sheppard currently on assignment in the G League.
Jan 6, 2025
Scores 33 points in win
Green racked up 33 points (12-24 FG, 5-12 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six rebounds, four assists and one block over 33 minutes during Sunday's 119-115 victory over the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
Green reached the 30-point mark for the sixth time this season, and he's been on a tear in recent games after surpassing the 20-point mark in his last three contests. The star guard has been prone to inconsistencies from time to time, but his role as one of the Rockets' primary offensive weapons suggests he should remain valuable in fantasy even when navigating his tough stretches. Green is averaging 24.2 points per game while shooting 44.3 percent from the floor over his last six stretches.
Jan 4, 2025
Game-high 27 points in loss
Green posted 27 points (10-21 FG, 5-13 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, two blocks and an assist during 35 minutes in a loss to the Celtics on Friday.
ANALYSIS
The fourth-year guard has struggled to score with consistent efficiency this season, but he's been finding his footing over the past two weeks, and Friday's bout with the Celtics was no exception despite the loss. There's no question Green can score in buckets, and as the focal point of head coach Ime Udoka's offense, he should continue to get significant volume. He'll look to stay hot against the Lakers on Sunday.
Jan 2, 2025
Scores 22 points in victory
Green accumulated 22 points (9-21 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 4-5 FT), five rebounds and one steal over 38 minutes during Wednesday's 110-99 win over Dallas.
ANALYSIS
The star shooting guard finished as the second-leading scorer behind Alperen Sengun (23 points) in Wednesday's victory. Green did struggle from three-point range, and in his last 10 outings he has shot only 29.7 percent from beyond the arc. In that 10-game span, he has averaged 20.2 points, 3.8 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 0.8 steals across 33.2 minutes per contest.
Dec 29, 2024
Ejected Sunday
Green was ejected from Sunday's game against the Heat, Jackson Gatlin of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Green was one of numerous player ejected following an altercation late in the fourth quarter of Sunday's game against the Heat. He concludes the contest with 19 points (6-20 FG, 1-8 3Pt, 6-7 FT), three rebounds and two assists across 34 minutes.
Dec 26, 2024
Goes off for 30 points in win
Green chipped in 30 points (12-21 FG, 6-11 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists and two steals across 30 minutes during Thursday's 128-111 victory over the Pelicans.
ANALYSIS
Green has been playing at a very high level since pouring 41 points across 41 minutes in a 122-115 win over the 76ers on Nov. 27, and even though he's had a few off nights here and there, Green has been a reliable offensive weapon for Houston for the better part of the last four or five weeks. This was the fifth time he reached the 20-point mark in 10 games in December, but his arrow is definitively trending up since he's done so in three of his last four outings. Perhaps even more importantly, Green managed to shake off the rust following his six-point outing in the win over the Hornets on Monday, as that game was his lowest scoring mark of the campaign.
Dec 23, 2024
Hits for 22 in Toronto
Green provided 22 points (9-20 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 2-3 FT), seven rebounds and two assists over 34 minutes during Sunday's 114-110 win over Toronto.
ANALYSIS
Consistency remains the only obstacle between Green and a true breakout. The fourth-year guard has scored at least 12 points in seven straight games, his longest such streak of the season to date, and he's averaged 21.9 points, 5.0 boards, 2.4 assists, 2.4 threes and 1.4 steals over that stretch while shooting 44.6 percent from the floor. While the latter numbers is far from exceptional, it would represent a career high for Green if he kept it up over a full campaign.
Dec 20, 2024
Stellar outing in victory Thursday
Green contributed 34 points (13-22 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 4-5 FT), six rebounds, three assists and one steal over 32 minutes during Thursday's 133-113 win over the Pelicans.
ANALYSIS
Green logged his fourth 30-plus-point outing while leading the Rockets to victory with a game-high 34 points. The 22-year-old has delivered some stellar performances this season, though consistency has been an issue for him thus far. Over his last five outings, Green has averaged 20.6 points, 4.2 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.8 steals while shooting only 25.6 percent from three-point range across 33.8 minutes per contest.
Dec 9, 2024
Erupts for 31 in Sunday's win
Green had a game-high 31 points (9-20 FG, 5-13 3Pt, 8-8 FT), four rebounds, one assist and one steal over 36 minutes during Sunday's 117-106 victory over the Clippers.
ANALYSIS
The fourth-year shooting guard has been on a roller coaster of late, alternating strong scoring nights with shaky ones. Green has dropped at least 28 points in three of his last six games but hasn't topped 14 in the other three, and over the last 12 contests he's averaging just 18.3 points, 4.7 boards, 2.2 assists, 2.0 threes and 1.3 steals while shooting 41.6 percent from the floor and 30.4 percent from beyond the arc.
Dec 4, 2024
Healthy entering Thursday
Green (eye) does not carry an injury designation in advance of Thursday's game versus Golden State.
ANALYSIS
Green was jabbed in the eye during Tuesday's loss to Sacramento, but he appears no worse for the wear. Green has alternated monster scoring performances with subpar output of late, and he was limited to seven points (2-13 FG) in a loss to Golden State on Nov. 2.
Dec 4, 2024
Suffers eye injury Tuesday
Green will be evaluated by an eye doctor Wednesday after taking a hit to his right eye during Tuesday's 120-111 loss to the Kings, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports. He ended the game with 28 points (9-14 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 5-5 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and one steal across 34 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Green was able to play through the issue, though he said he experienced impaired vision after taking a hit to the eye, according to Feigen. The 22-year-old delivered a stellar performance with his 10th 20-plus-point outing, but his status could be in jeopardy for Thursday's game against the Warriors. If Green is sidelined, Amen Thompson and Reed Sheppard are candidates for an increased role.
Dec 2, 2024
Held to nine points
Green ended Sunday's 119-116 win over the Thunder with nine points (2-6 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-6 FT), two rebounds, three assists and one block across 34 minutes.
ANALYSIS
This was a lackluster performance from Green, but the Rockets managed to pull out the win with Fred VanVleet and Alperen Sengun combining for 58 points. Apart from his 41-point outburst against the 76ers on Wednesday, Green has been pretty underwhelming with 10 or fewer points in three of his last four contests.
Nov 28, 2024
Explodes for 41 points in win
Green amassed 41 points (12-20 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 13-14 FT), seven rebounds, two assists, one block and two steals over 41 minutes during Wednesday's 122-115 overtime victory over the 76ers.
ANALYSIS
The Rockets had to work harder than expected to win this one, but Green played a pivotal role with his impressive scoring outburst. Aside from notching a season-high mark in the scoring column, the star guard finished just one point shy of matching his previous career-high output, established last season in a win over the Wizards. Perhaps more importantly, Green left his slump behind, as he entered this game on a four-game stretch in which he couldn't score more than 17 points while shooting a woeful 32.1 percent from the floor. One slump isn't going to alter his fantasy status considerably, though, as Green is still posting a solid line of 19.4 points, 4.8 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 1.0 steals per game this season.
Nov 26, 2024
Set to play Tuesday
Green (illness) is available for Tuesday's game versus the Timberwolves, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.
ANALYSIS
Green has been upgraded from questionable to available Tuesday despite dealing with an illness. The 22-year-old guard is averaging 15.6 points, 4.9 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.0 steals in 30.7 minutes across his last 10 appearances.
Nov 26, 2024
Goes through shootaround
Green (illness) participated in Tuesday's morning shootaround, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.
ANALYSIS
Green is currently listed as questionable to face the Timberwolves on Tuesday night. He played through the illness in two previous outings, but sat out practice Monday as a result. For now, it appears that he may be closer to probable to suit up.
Nov 25, 2024
Dealing with illness
Green is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Timberwolves due to an illness.
ANALYSIS
Green has yet to miss a game this season and played through an illness after being listed as questionable last week. It's unclear if the two ailments are related, but if Green is sidelined, Amen Thompson and Reed Sheppard would be candidates for increased usage versus Minnesota. Notably, Fred VanVleet won't be suspended for the contest after making contact with an official which resulted in an ejection during Saturday's loss to Portland.
Nov 20, 2024
Officially active Wednesday
Green (illness) will play Wednesday versus Indiana, Danielle Lerner of the Houston Chronicle reports.
ANALYSIS
Green joins a fully healthy Houston backcourt, while Cam Whitmore (knee) remains questionable on the wings. Green is averaging 16.4 points across his last seven contests, although he's slumping from deep over that span, connecting on just 24.5 percent of 7.0 threes per game.
Nov 19, 2024
Questionable to play Wednesday
Green is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Pacers due to an illness.
ANALYSIS
The availability of Green for Wednesday's contest is uncertain, but more clarity regarding his status should be announced closer to Wednesday's 8 p.m. ET tipoff. Green is averaging 15.8 points per game while shooting a meager 36.6 percent from the floor since the beginning of November.
Nov 19, 2024
Scores 21 points in loss
Green logged 21 points (9-24 FG, 3-8 3Pt), nine rebounds and two assists across 39 minutes during Monday's 101-100 loss to Milwaukee.
ANALYSIS
Green recorded 20-plus points for the eighth time this season while setting a new season high in playing time. He also posted his second-highest mark in rebounds through 15 regular-season outings. However, 22-year-old struggled shooting the rock, and he has shot only 40.0 percent from the floor across his last five games.
Nov 14, 2024
Goes for 21 points Wednesday
Green finished Wednesday's 111-103 win over the Clippers with 21 points (7-21 FG, 5-14 3Pt, 2-3 FT), seven rebounds and five assists over 36 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Green reached the 20-point plateau for the first time since Nov. 6, snapping a three-game drought in which he didn't do so. However, the solid scoring output was more based on volume rather than efficiency, as he needed 21 shots to reach that mark. Green has been struggling with efficiency of late, making just 33.6 percent of his shots and 28.6 percent of his threes since the beginning of November.
Nov 12, 2024
Shooting woes continue
Green chipped in 18 points (6-15 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 5-5 FT), four rebounds, two assists and two steals in 37 minutes during Monday's 107-92 victory over the Wizards.
ANALYSIS
The stat line looks good on the surface for Green, but he's been trending in the wrong direction over the last two weeks. He opened the campaign with five straight outings with at least 20 points while shooting 41.3 percent from the floor, but things have taken a turn for the worst since the calendar flipped to November. He's averaging just 15.0 points per game while shooting 33.7 percent in six November outings while surpassing the 15-point mark just twice in that span.
Nov 7, 2024
Scores 21 points in win
Green closed with 21 points (6-14 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 5-6 FT), five rebounds, four assists and one block in 31 minutes during Wednesday's 127-100 victory over the Spurs.
ANALYSIS
Green got back to his usual scoring ways after two games in which he delivered below-average production. Even though he might be prone to having a few off nights every now and then, Green's role as one of the Rockets' primary offensive weapons looks set in stone. He's scored at least 20 points in six of his eight appearances this season while averaging a solid 22.6 points per contest.
Nov 1, 2024
Double-double vs. Dallas
Green accumulated 23 points (9-21 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 2-3 FT), 12 rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal in 36 minutes during Thursday's 108-102 win over the Mavericks.
ANALYSIS
Green logged his first double-double of the regular season Thursday, his first since March 27 against the Thunder. The 2021 first-round pick has scored 22-plus points in all five regular-season games and is averaging 27.6 points on 40.7 percent shooting from three on 10.8 3PA/G, along with 5.4 rebounds and 3.0 assists over 34.8 minutes per contest.
Oct 29, 2024
Notches 36 points
Green had 36 points (11-22 FG, 7-13 3Pt, 7-7 FT), one rebound and two assists over 38 minutes during Monday's 106-101 victory over San Antonio.
ANALYSIS
Green's 36 points mark a new season best as the Rockets improved to 2-2. The guard is on pace to average a career-best 28.8 points per game, but his peripheral stats are lacking right now with 3.8 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 0.8 steals.
Oct 27, 2024
Scores 29 in loss to Spurs
Green ended with 29 points (10-22 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 6-6 FT), six rebounds and five assists across 33 minutes during Saturday's 109-106 loss to the Spurs.
ANALYSIS
Green has scored 25-plus points in two of his first three outings of the 2024-25 season, and the star guard has maintained the momentum after closing out the 2023-24 campaign on a strong note. Green averaged 22.8 points per game after the 2024 All-Star break and is now putting up 26.3 points per game to open the new season while shooting 36.4 percent from deep.
Oct 24, 2024
Leads Rockets with 28 points
Green accumulated 28 points (9-23 FG, 5-15 3Pt, 5-5 FT) and two rebounds in 35 minutes during Wednesday's 110-105 loss to the Hornets.
ANALYSIS
Green picked up where he left off last season, leading Houston with 28 points. Although his points production was more than adequate, the same cannot be said for the rest of his line. Inefficient shooting and a lack of peripheral stats are something he has been a victim of throughout his career. While he is absolutely worth rostering, managers should be aware of his flaws.
Oct 21, 2024
Secures 3-year extension
Green and the Rockets agreed to a three-year, $106 million extension Monday, ESPN's Shams Charania reports.
ANALYSIS
This will be a very unique extension, as it includes a player option for the third season to increase his earning potential. Green is coming off a stellar preseason and there have been a lot of positive reports coming out of Houston. He could be a poised for a breakout campaign after averaging 22.8 points per game after the All-Star break in 2023-24.
Oct 18, 2024
Scores 30 in preseason finale
Green posted 30 points (8-16 FG, 7-13 3Pt, 7-8 FT), two rebounds, two assists, a steal and a block across 27 minutes in Thursday's 129-107 preseason win over the Spurs.
ANALYSIS
Green has been leading the Rockets in scoring throughout the preseason, but he saved the best for last in this one, as he torched the Spurs time and time again. The star shooting guard seems more than ready for the regular-season opener against the Hornets on Wednesday, and he should play a prominent role in Houston's offensive scheme as a legit three-level scorer.
Oct 16, 2024
Leads Rockets in scoring Tuesday
Green notched 19 points (7-15 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 3-5 FT), six rebounds and a steal across 23 minutes in Tuesday's 118-98 preseason win over the Pelicans.
ANALYSIS
Green seems ready to pick things right where he left them in the 2023-24 season, and based on what has happened in the preseason, the fourth-year guard is widely expected to operate as Houston's go-to player on offense in most games. Green averaged 22.8 points per game after the All-Star break in 2023-24, and he seems poised to average at least 20 points per game for the second time over the last three seasons.
Oct 8, 2024
Paces Houston in loss Monday
Green delivered 21 points (7-14 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 3-3 FT), three rebounds and a block across 20 minutes in Monday's 122-113 preseason loss to the Jazz.
ANALYSIS
Head coach Ime Udoka attempted to give the potential starters a solid run of minutes in this preseason opener, and Green made the most of it while leading the team in scoring. His role as one of the Rockets' primary offensive threats is not in any danger after displaying tremendous growth in 2023-24, where he averaged 22.8 points per game since the All-Star break.
Apr 13, 2024
Scores team-high 26 points
Green recorded 26 points (10-20 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 1-1 FT), nine rebounds and one assist in 35 minutes during Friday's 116-107 victory over the Trail Blazers.
ANALYSIS
Green's shot heated back up after shooting a tepid 37.7 percent over his past eight games. His long-range shot also came back to life, converting his highest three-point total since drilling seven threes against Oklahoma City nine games ago.
Apr 5, 2024
Struggles from field Thursday
Green finished with 13 points (4-12 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, seven assists and one steal across 30 minutes during Thursday's 133-110 loss to the Warriors.
ANALYSIS
The Rockets lost a third straight game, and while Green has been absolutely on fire over the last few weeks, he looked tired and ineffective in this one. One subpar performance is not going to erase all the impressive outings Green has posted in recent weeks, however, and he'll aim to bounce back when the Rockets take on the Heat on Friday. After all, this was just the second time Green couldn't reach the 15-point plateau since Feb. 25.
Apr 3, 2024
Goes for 26 points in loss
Green recorded 26 points (10-22 FG, 2-11 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds and six assists over 38 minutes during Tuesday's 113-106 loss to the Timberwolves.
ANALYSIS
Green had a rough night from beyond the arc Tuesday, but at least he bounced back from the 12-point effort he posted in the 125-107 loss to the Mavericks on Sunday. The Rockets might have dropped two in a row, but Green remains scorching hot on offense, averaging 30.8 points per game over his last 10 appearances. He should handle a heavy workload on offense against the Warriors on Thursday in a game that might decide their fate this season considering their position in the standings.
Mar 30, 2024
Shines in win over Utah
Green finished Friday's 101-100 victory over the Jazz with 34 points (11-24 FG, 4-11 3Pt, 8-14 FT), nine rebounds, six assists and two steals across 39 minutes.
ANALYSIS
With each passing game, the argument to consider Green one of the hottest offensive players in The Association gets stronger and stronger. The star guard has been on an absolute tear in recent weeks and has played a prominent role in Houston's ongoing 11-game winning streak. He's scored at least 30 points in four of his last six outings while averaging 30.2 points, 6.6 rebounds and 4.1 assists per game during the Rockets' winning stretch.
Mar 28, 2024
Keeps sizzling streak alive
Green recorded 37 points (14-24 FG, 7-11 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds, seven assists, one block and two steals across 46 minutes during Wednesday's 132-126 overtime win over the Thunder.
ANALYSIS
Green has been one of the most productive players in the Western Conference over the last few weeks, and the numbers don't lie, as he's been a key cog in Houston's ongoing 10-game winning run. This was his seventh straight game with 25 or more points, and he's averaging 29.8 points, 6.4 rebounds, 3.9 assists and 1.1 steals per game during the Rockets' undefeated stretch. Green will aim to remain hot against the Jazz, on what promises to be a favorable matchup on paper, on Friday.
Mar 26, 2024
Remains hot on offense
Green posted 27 points (9-26 FG, 4-12 3Pt, 5-6 FT), six rebounds, three assists, one block and three steals over 40 minutes during Monday's 110-92 win over the Trail Blazers.
ANALYSIS
Green couldn't replicate the 41-point performance he delivered against the Jazz on Saturday, but he extended his torrid stretch and scored over 25 points for the sixth consecutive game. Green is averaging 29.0 points per game during Houston's nine-game winning run.
Mar 24, 2024
Explodes for 41 points Saturday
Green posted 41 points (15-22 FG, 7-11 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds, four assists and one steal in 33 minutes during Saturday's 147-119 victory over the Jazz.
ANALYSIS
Green has been one of the league's most explosive offensive threats in recent weeks, and he's had a pivotal role in Houston's ongoing eight-game winning streak by routinely leading the team in scoring. He's surpassed the 25-point mark in each of his last five outings while averaging 29.3 points, 6.1 rebounds and 3.6 assists per game during the team's winning streak.
Mar 22, 2024
Goes for 26 points Thursday
Green contributed 26 points (10-22 FG, 4-12 3Pt, 2-4 FT), four rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal across 40 minutes during Thursday's 127-117 victory over the Bulls.
ANALYSIS
Green continues to play at a high level for the Rockets, and while he's never going to be an efficient scorer, there's no question he's taken steps in the right direction in that regard lately. Green is arguably going through his most productive stretch of the season, averaging 32.8 points per game and shooting 53.5 percent from the field across his last four appearances.
Mar 19, 2024
Scores season-high 42 points
Green ended with 42 points (12-21 FG, 7-13 3Pt, 11-13 FT), 10 rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal across 36 minutes during Tuesday's 137-114 victory over Washington.
ANALYSIS
Green continues to deliver for fantasy managers, casually dropping a season-high 42 points including seven triples. In what has been a modest season to date, Green has come through at the right time for anyone who stuck with him, putting up top-40 value over the past two weeks. While he is clearly a must-roster player, the fact three of his past four performances have come against either the Wizards or the Spurs shouldn't be overlooked.
Mar 17, 2024
Notches double-double vs. Cavs
Green produced 26 points (9-20 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 4-6 FT), 11 rebounds, four assists, two blocks and one steal over 33 minutes during Saturday's 117-103 win over the Cavaliers.
ANALYSIS
Green registered his sixth double-double of the season in Saturday's win. The third-year guard has upped his game as of late and is a big reason the Rockets are 7-1 in March. Green is averaging 24.6 points on 49.0 percent shooting (including 37.3 percent from three on 8.4 3PA/G), 5.6 rebounds and 3.5 assists over 35.5 minutes per game in March.
Mar 15, 2024
Erupts for season-high 37
Green accumulated 37 points (15-23 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds and two assists across 37 minutes during Thursday's 135-119 win over the Wizards.
ANALYSIS
It was a season-best scoring performance from Green, and his highest output in nearly a calendar year -- he dropped 40 on the Pelicans back on Mar. 19, 2023. The third-year guard has topped 30 points three times in the last eight games, averaging 25.6 points, 4.9 boards, 3.5 threes, 3.3 assists and 1.1 steals over that stretch, and while consistency remains an issue for Green, the talent that made him the second overall pick in the 2021 Draft is still readily apparent.
Mar 11, 2024
Posts 19-point effort Sunday
Green accumulated 19 points (6-15 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 6-8 FT), two rebounds and three assists across 35 minutes during Sunday's 112-104 win over the Kings.
ANALYSIS
Green seems to have left a rough patch behind, as his scoring figures and shooting percentages are on the rise over the last few games. Through his last six appearances, Green is averaging 25.3 points per game while shooting 45.9 percent from the field. Both are an uptick compared to his season-long numbers of 18.4 points per game and 41.2 percent from the field.
Mar 9, 2024
Strong from deep as top scorer
Green recorded 27 points (11-19 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, five assists and two steals over 34 minutes during Friday's 123-107 victory over the Trail Blazers.
ANALYSIS
Green led all Houston players in scoring while connecting on a team-high-tying mark from three and adding a handful of assists in a winning effort. Green, who recorded a team-high-tying pair of steals on the defensive end, has recorded at least 25 points and five assists in four games this season.
Mar 6, 2024
Drops 23 against San Antonio
Green closed Tuesday's 114-101 win over the Spurs with 23 points (11-23 FG, 1-10 3Pt), two rebounds, three assists and one steal over 39 minutes.
ANALYSIS
The third-year guard topped 20 points for the third straight game while scoring in double digits for the seventh straight since the All-Star break. Over that latter stretch, Green is averaging 20.3 points, 5.1 boards, 3.1 assists, 3.1 threes and 1.0 steals as he begins to live up to his pedigree as the second overall pick in the 2021 Draft.
Mar 3, 2024
Explodes for 34 points in victory
Green had 34 points (12-23 FG, 6-12 3Pt, 4-4 FT), nine rebounds, four assists and two steals in 38 minutes during Saturday's 118-109 victory over Phoenix.
ANALYSIS
Green is going through the most productive stretch of his career, and while he still needs to do a lot of work in the efficiency department, that won't matter much as long as he can keep putting the ball in the basket the way he's done it over the Rockets' last few games. Green posted back-to-back games with 30 or more points just for the second time this season, and he's averaging a solid 19.8 points per game since the league resumed following the All-Star break. However, he's also making just 38 percent of his shots in that span.
Mar 1, 2024
Explodes for 34 points in loss
Green supplied 34 points (10-28 FG, 7-17 3Pt, 7-7 FT), five rebounds, two assists and three steals across 39 minutes during Thursday's 110-105 loss to the Suns.
ANALYSIS
Green finished just two points shy of tying what would've been his best scoring mark of the campaign, but even if that wasn't the case, the third-year forward continues to make an impact as a scoring threat for Houston. This was one of his best performances of the campaign, but he's still shy of averaging 20.0 points per game, and he's also shooting a career-worst 40.4 percent from the field.
Feb 29, 2024
Available versus Suns
Green (illness) is available versus the Suns on Thursday, according to Rockets reporter Vanessa Richardson.
ANALYSIS
Green was a late addition to the injury report and was carrying a probable tag prior to this update, but he'll maintain his track record of zero games missed this season with this news.
Feb 29, 2024
Late addition to injury report
Green is listed as questionable for Thursday's game versus the Suns due to an illness.
ANALYSIS
Green is in danger of missing his first game this season Thursday after being a late addition to the injury report with a non-COVID illness. If the 21-year-old guard is ruled out, Amen Thomspon, Aaron Holiday, and Cam Whitmore are candidates to receive increased playing time.
Feb 23, 2024
Poor shooting display Thursday
Green recorded 10 points (3-14 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, two assists and one steal in 24 minutes during Thursday's 127-105 loss to the Pelicans.
ANALYSIS
Green had a rough shooting performance Thursday, but that shouldn't surprise anyone who has been following the Rockets this season, as Green is prone to have efficiency issues. Even though he's averaging 14.4 points per game since the beginning of February, he's also shot 37 percent from the field and a mere 17.4 percent from three-point range in that span.
Feb 11, 2024
Drops triple-double in loss
Green closed with 26 points (10-22 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 4-7 FT), 14 rebounds, 10 assists and one steal across 37 minutes during Saturday's 122-113 loss to the Hawks.
ANALYSIS
Green was spectacular despite the loss, recording his first triple-double of the season. While his counting stats were fantastic, his percentages left a little to be desired, much like they have all season. Green has been on a tear of late, making him a prime sell-high candidate for anyone doubting the sustainability of his recent production.
Feb 7, 2024
Goes for 30 points Tuesday
Green chipped in 30 points (12-20 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three rebounds, one assist and two steals over 33 minutes during Tuesday's 132-129 loss to the Pacers.
ANALYSIS
Green is not known for being the most efficient shooter or scorer, but he made his presence felt during Tuesday's loss with one of his best performances of the entire campaign. He's been on an absolute tear of late after recording 30 or more points in four of his last six appearances, and while the lack of efficiency remains an issue in category-based leagues, Green is certainly going through his most productive stretch of the season.
Feb 1, 2024
Hot streak continues in loss
Green amassed 31 points (11-20 FG, 5-12 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds, four assists, two blocks and three steals over 38 minutes during Wednesday's 110-99 loss to the Pelicans.
ANALYSIS
Green led all scorers with 31 points, tallying at least 30 points for the third time in the past four games. Despite being well outside the top 150 for the season, Green has turned things around in recent times. He has been inside the top 30 over the past two weeks, averaging 24.6 points per game to go with 6.1 rebounds, 4.0 assists, 1.4 steals and 2.4 triples. While he should be rostered in all formats right now, managers should absolutely view this as a prime opportunity to move him for a top 70 player.
Jan 30, 2024
Returns to booming
Green produced 34 points (12-23 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 6-6 FT), 12 rebounds, seven assists and one steal over 41 minutes during Monday's 135-119 win over the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
Green has now compiled four 30-point games on the season, with two coming in his past three contests. The 21-year-old delivered an excellent blend of three-level scoring Monday while facilitating with only one turnover. Green's rebounding activity could be symbolic of an intensity surge, as he's racked up 31 boards over his last three games.
Jan 27, 2024
Season-high 36 points vs. Hornets
Green amassed 36 points (12-20 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 11-12 FT), nine rebounds, four assists and two steals across 28 minutes during Friday's 138-104 win over the Hornets.
ANALYSIS
Friday's performance was Green's highest scoring output since Feb. 8, 2023 when he scored 41 points against the Kings, and it was the first time the third-year guard 30-plus points in a game this season. Green has scored in double-digits in all but one game in January, though he continues to struggle from distance. He is shooting 26.3 percent from beyond the arc in January and just 13.2 percent on 6.3 attempts per game over his last six appearances.
Jan 25, 2024
Scores 29 vs. Blazers
Green supplied 29 points (12-24 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three assists, one block and one steal over 39 minutes during Wednesday's 137-131 overtime loss to the Trail Blazers.
ANALYSIS
Green led the Rockets in scoring in a game that went to overtime. He didn't contribute much more in the box score, but the third-year guard is capable of having productive nights on the offensive side of the floor every night. Green's efficiency is of some concern, as he's shooting 39.4 percent from the floor in January, including 27.2 percent from three while attempting 7.1 shots from beyond the arc per game.
Jan 24, 2024
Good to go against Portland
Green (illness) is available for Wednesday's game versus the Trail Blazers, Jackson Gatlin of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Green has been upgraded from questionable to available Wednesday despite dealing with a non-COVID illness. Green has struggled with his efficiency as of late, shooting just 37.1 percent from the field and 13.8 percent on 5.8 three-point attempts per contest across his last five outings.
Jan 24, 2024
Present at shootaround
Green, who's listed as questionable due to an illness, was present during the Rockets' morning shootaround ahead of Wednesday's game against Portland, Coty M. Davis of SI.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Despite dealing with an illness, Green is trending toward suiting up and extending his perfect attendance this season. With Fred VanVleet in town, Green's numbers have taken a hit in 2023-24, but he's still averaging 17.1 points, 4.6 rebounds and 3.2 assists in 30.3 minutes per game.
Jan 23, 2024
Iffy against Portland
Green (illness) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game versus the Trail Blazers.
ANALYSIS
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.
Jan 23, 2024
Dealing with illness
Green was unable to practice Tuesday because of an illness, Adam Spolane of Sports Radio 610 Houston reports.
ANALYSIS
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.
Jan 17, 2024
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.
ANALYSIS
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.
Jan 15, 2024
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.
ANALYSIS
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.
Jan 13, 2024
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.
ANALYSIS
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.
Jan 11, 2024
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.
ANALYSIS
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.
Jan 4, 2024
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.
ANALYSIS
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.
Jan 2, 2024
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.
ANALYSIS
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.
Dec 30, 2023
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.
ANALYSIS
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.
Dec 28, 2023
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.
ANALYSIS
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.
Dec 18, 2023
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.
ANALYSIS
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.
Dec 9, 2023
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.
ANALYSIS
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.
Nov 30, 2023
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.
ANALYSIS
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.
Nov 23, 2023
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.
ANALYSIS
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.
Nov 20, 2023
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.
ANALYSIS
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.
Nov 18, 2023
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.
ANALYSIS
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.
Nov 9, 2023
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.
ANALYSIS
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.
Nov 7, 2023
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.
ANALYSIS
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.
Oct 30, 2023
Fourth-year option picked up
Green's fourth-year rookie team option for 2024-25 was officially picked up by Houston on Monday.
ANALYSIS
A contractual formality, Green's option ensures that Houston will use all four years of team control on the second overall pick from the 2021 Draft. That being said, the 21-year-old has much to prove over the next two seasons in regard to his potential as a franchise cornerstone.
Oct 30, 2023
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.
ANALYSIS
Green finished one rebound away from recording a double-double, but he showed personality and 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 season debut.
Oct 28, 2023
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.
ANALYSIS
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 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.
Oct 20, 2023
Ready to roll Friday
Green (toe) said he's "ready to play" Friday against the Heat, Coty M. Davis of SI.com reports.
ANALYSIS
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.
Oct 18, 2023
Ruled out Wednesday
Green (toe) will not play in Wednesday's preseason game against the Spurs, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.
ANALYSIS
Green isn't 100 percent yet due to a toenail issue. He'll have one more chance to play in the preseason on Friday before Opening Night on Oct. 25.
Oct 15, 2023
Out Monday
Green (toe) will be inactive for Monday's preseason game against the Spurs, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.
ANALYSIS
Green is reportedly dealing with a toenail issue, so his absence should be extremely short-term. Houston has preseason contests Wednesday and Friday as well.
Oct 11, 2023
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.
ANALYSIS
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.
Apr 5, 2023
Paces team in scoring
Green registered 32 points (12-27 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six rebounds, four assists and one steal in 39 minutes during Tuesday's 124-103 win over Denver.
ANALYSIS
Green has been on a scoring tear in recent matchups, as he's scored at least 24 points in each of his last three appearances. The 21-year-old missed two games in late February due to a groin injury but has averaged 23.4 points, 3.8 assists and 3.1 rebounds in 35.0 minutes per game over 20 appearances since then.
Mar 31, 2023
Heats up with 32 points
Green closed with 32 points (10-18 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 10-16 FT), one rebound and five assists in 37 minutes during Friday's 121-115 victory over the Pistons.
ANALYSIS
Kevin Porter has been all the talk for Houston for the past few games for his strong play, but Green broke out of a mini slump to snap a seven-game losing streak for the Rockets. Houston isn't exactly playing for much in the final four games of the season, but there's been no indication that Green will be dialed back just yet.
Mar 27, 2023
Drops game-high 30 points
Green contributed 30 points (10-17 FG, 5-11 3Pt, 5-6 FT), one rebound, four assists and one steal across 35 minutes during Sunday's 108-91 loss to the Cavaliers.
ANALYSIS
Green topped 30 points for the second time in his past three games, continuing what has been a nice stretch of offensive production. While supporting stats remain an issue, he has at least been able to do what he does best, which is score the basketball. In fact, he has been a top 85 player over the past two weeks, much improved from his season-long rank of 187. As long as efficiency and defense are not high on your list of priorities, Green remains a solid option, even in 12-team formats.
Mar 23, 2023
Paces Rockets in loss
Green racked up 32 points (10-18 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 9-9 FT), three rebounds and three assists across 37 minutes during Wednesday's 130-125 loss to Memphis.
ANALYSIS
Green continues his hot streak down the stretch and has now gone for 20-plus points in four consecutive contests. Over the last two weeks he has provided a spark for fantasy managers in the playoffs.
Mar 20, 2023
Available to play
Green (thigh) will be available to play Monday against the Warriors, as expected.
ANALYSIS
Green will power through the thigh issue and he's coming off a 40-point performance, so make sure you've got him active. With Green available, Josh Christopher is no longer an attractive streaming option.
Mar 20, 2023
Expected to be cleared
Green (thigh) is warming up with the intention of playing Monday against the Warriors, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.
ANALYSIS
Green is officially listed as questionable for the second half of Houston's back-to-back set due to a thigh contusion, but it appears he's trending more toward probable at this point. Fantasy managers should still confirm his availability ahead of the 8:00 p.m. ET tipoff. Green has appeared in 11 straight games and posted his fourth 40-plus-point outing of the season during Monday's loss to the Pelicans.
Mar 20, 2023
Listed questionable Monday
Green (thigh) is questionable for Monday's game against the Warriors according to Adam Wexler of Sportstalk 790 Houston
ANALYSIS
Green is coming off a 40-point eruption, but this is the second leg of a back-to-back and his minutes have been through the roof. Over his last seven games, Green has played at least 35 minutes. If he's held out against the Warriors, we could see guys like Josh Christopher and TyTy Washington get some run with Jae'Sean Tate being rested.
Mar 20, 2023
Explodes for game-high 40 points
Green accumulated 40 points (11-22 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 14-14 FT), four rebounds, one assist and one steal over 39 minutes during Sunday's 117-107 loss to the Pelicans.
ANALYSIS
Green was efficient from the floor and perfect from the charity stripe en route to his fourth 40-plus-point outing of the season. Over his past 10 appearances, the dynamic shooting guard is averaging 23.4 points, 3.6 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 1.2 steals-plus-blocks in 35.6 minutes. However, he's shooting just 42.2 percent from the field and 33.8 percent from deep during that stretch.
Mar 16, 2023
Struggles despite victory
Green supplied 11 points (4-13 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six rebounds, one assist and one steal over 38 minutes during Wednesday's 114-110 win over the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
Green scored his fewest points since Feb. 10 in Wednesday's win. The second-year guard's efficiency should be a concern to fantasy managers, as he is shooting 12-of-42 from the field in his last two outings.
Mar 14, 2023
Scores 28 in win
Green recorded 28 points (8-29 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 10-11 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and two steals in 40 minutes during Monday's 111-109 victory over the Celtics.
ANALYSIS
Green played big minutes again Monday night, scoring a team-high 28 points in a tight victory over Boston. In typical fashion, he shot inefficiently from the field but made up for it at the free-throw line, going a strong 10-for-11. The young guard also provided his best rebounding effort since December. Perhaps most importantly though, his minutes over the last four games have ramped back up to where they used to be prior to a groin injury back in February.
Mar 8, 2023
Scores 25 points in loss
Green chipped in 25 points (9-21 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 6-11 FT), two rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal over 37 minutes during Tuesday's 118-96 loss to the Nets.
ANALYSIS
Green is firmly entrenched as Houston's main scoring threat, but he has been struggling from the field of late, and Tuesday's game wasn't the exception. Over his last eight appearances, the second-year guard is averaging 19.9 points per game but shooting a meager 40 percent from the field and 30.8 percent from three-point range.
Mar 6, 2023
Shines against San Antonio
Green contributed 31 points (11-19 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 5-6 FT), two rebounds and two assists in 27 minutes during Sunday's 142-110 victory over the Spurs.
ANALYSIS
Green's contributions were tied almost exclusively to his scoring figures, but the second-year guard played a massive role in the team's 32-point win by posting his first 30-point effort since Feb. 8, when he scored 41 points in a loss to the Kings. Green is averaging 21.4 points per game over his last 10 contests.
Mar 2, 2023
Scores team-high 20 points
Green logged 20 points (7-18 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 2-3 FT), three rebounds, three assists and one block over 29 minutes during Wednesday's 113-99 loss to the Grizzlies.
ANALYSIS
Green played just 19 minutes during his return from a two-game absence Tuesday, but he was back around 30 minutes Wednesday. Since returning from the groin injury, the dynamic guard has averaged 18.5 points, 4.0 assists and 2.5 rebounds while shooting 50.0 percent from deep.
Mar 1, 2023
Scored 17 points in return
Green finished with 17 points (7-15 FG, 3-7 3Pt), two rebounds, five assists and one steal across 19 minutes during Tuesday's 133-112 loss to the Nuggets.
ANALYSIS
Green returned from a two-game absence, and while he needed 15 shots to score 17 points, he posted a decent stat line in the end. The shooting have been an issue for the second-year guard, however, as he averaged 21.6 points but shot just 40.2 percent from the field in seven February games.
Feb 27, 2023
Not listed on injury report
Green (groin) isn't listed on the injury report for Tuesday's matchup against the Nuggets.
ANALYSIS
Green will return to action Tuesday following a two-game absence due to a groin injury. The dynamic guard hasn't played since before the All-Star break, so he may be a little rusty following a two-week layoff. However, when he's been available this year, Green has produced at an elite level, posting 21.8 points, 4.0 rebounds, 3.6 assits and 0.8 steals in 33.9 minutes -- all career highs. The one knock on the second-year pro is his efficiency, as he's shooting just 40.9 percent from the field and 33.3 percent from deep, both lower than his rookie campaign.
Feb 25, 2023
Out Sunday
Green (groin) is out for Sunday's game against the Trail Blazers.
ANALYSIS
Green practiced Saturday but will still miss a second straight game Sunday. In his absence, more minutes should be available for TyTy Washington, Josh Christopher and Daishen Nix.
Feb 25, 2023
Practices Saturday
Green (groin) full participated in practice Saturday, but his status for Sunday's game against the Trail Blazers remains to be determined, Danielle Lerner of the Houston Chronicle reports.
ANALYSIS
Green missed the Rockets' first game after the All-Star break due to a left groin strain, but he's trending in the right direction and could be back in the starting lineup soon. His availability will have a significant impact on Daishen Nix, Josh Christopher and TyTy Washington's playing time.
Feb 23, 2023
Ruled out against Warriors
Green (groin) won't play in Friday's game versus the Warriors and is considered day-to-day, Coty M. Davis of SI.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Green also missed Wednesday's practice due to a left groin strain. Coach Stephen Silas also said there is a "small chance" at least one of Green and Kevin Porter (foot) can play in Sunday's matchup with Portland. Daishen Nix, Josh Christopher and TyTy Washington will likely see increased roles in his absence.
Feb 22, 2023
Unlikely to play Friday
Green (groin) is doubtful for Friday's game versus the Warriors, Kelly Iko of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Green isn't expected to miss much time due to a strained left groin but is unlikely to play Thursday. Daishen Nix, Josh Christopher and TyTy Washington are candidates to see extended minutes in his absence. Green's next chance to suit up will be Sunday's matchup with Portland if he's ultimately ruled out versus Golden State.
Feb 19, 2023
Groin pull confirmed, may miss time
Green underwent an MRI on Friday that confirmed a strained left groin, but the Rockets are hopeful the second-year guard won't miss much time coming out of the All-Star break, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.
ANALYSIS
The Rockets aren't expected to have a clear timeline for Green's return to action until the team reconvenes within the next 2-to-3 days following All-Star weekend. Though Houston is said to be "relieved" by the results of Green's MRI, the groin injury seems likely to sideline him for the Rockets' first game out of the All-Star break next Friday at Golden State, and potentially additional games to follow. The 21-year-old's expected absence would free up more opportunities out of the backcourt for the likes of Josh Christopher, TyTy Washington and Daishen Nix, will all three players perhaps in line to seize 20-plus-minute roles if Kevin Porter (foot) remains sidelined out of the break along with Green.
Feb 16, 2023
Sitting out Rising Stars Challenge
Green (groin) won't play in the Rising Stars Challenge, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.
ANALYSIS
Green suffered a groin injury in Wednesday's game versus the Thunder and is slated to undergo an MRI, so his removal from the Rising Stars Challenge hardly comes as a surprise. He'll instead focus on healing up during the All-Star break, though the team hasn't released the extent of the damage to his groin yet. Teammate Tari Eason will take his place, while Green will turn his focus toward the start of the second half Feb. 24 versus the Warriors.
Feb 16, 2023
MRI upcoming
Rockets head coach Stephen Silas said after Wednesday's 133-96 loss to the Thunder that Green (groin) is scheduled to undergo an MRI, Coty M. Davis of SI.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Green was diagnosed with a left groin strain after exiting in the second quarter of Wednesday's contest, but the upcoming MRI should shed more light on the severity of the injury. Fortunately for Green, he'll get some added time off to heal with the Rockets off the schedule until Feb. 24 at Golden State due to the All-Star break. if Green's groin strain proves to be a low-grade one, he may not have to miss any game action on account of the injury.
Feb 15, 2023
Won't return Wednesday
Green suffered a left groin strain during Wednesday's game and he will not return, Joe Mussatto of The Oklahoman reports.
ANALYSIS
Green pulled up lame attempting to guard Josh Giddey in transition, and he immediately headed back to the locker room, clutching at his left groin. Unfortunately, this is an injury that tends to require a player to miss multiple games, but the good news is that Houston's next matchup won't come until February 24 against the Warriors. TyTy Washington started the second half in Green's place, so he could be someone to consider as a speculative add, and Josh Christopher is worth considering as well.
Feb 14, 2023
Drops 29 points in loss
Green produced 29 points (6-20 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 15-17 FT), three rebounds, four assists and two steals over 32 minutes during Monday's 123-104 loss to the 76ers.
ANALYSIS
Despite the 29 points, it was another poor shooting night for Green. Over his last two games, Green shot a combined 11-of-39 from the field. The Rockets have lost six straight games, but they have no choice but to let Green shoot himself out of this slump.
Feb 9, 2023
Drops game-high 41 points
Green closed Wednesday's 130-128 loss to the Kings with 41 points (14-22 FG, 6-9 3Pt, 7-9 FT), two rebounds and two assists in 37 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Green was in the zone right from the jump, knocking down six of eight field goal attempts in the first quarter alone before entering the break with 21 points. The shooting guard didn't slow down in the second half, going 7-of-10 from the floor to finish with a game-high 41 points on the night as the Rockets lost their fifth straight. Green also connected on a game-high six three-pointers in the contest and has now broken the 40-point mark in three of his last eight games.
Feb 7, 2023
Scores 27 in loss to Kings
Green amassed 27 points (10-21 FG, 5-11 3Pt, 2-3 FT), three rebounds, three assists and two steals over 33 minutes during Monday's 140-120 loss to Sacramento.
ANALYSIS
Green carried the Rockets offensively and reached the 25-point mark for the eighth time since the start of January, but as has been the trend all season long, his contributions were not enough to lift Houston to victory. The second-year guard is always going to produce, given his role on offense and his usage rate, but the lack of consistency on a game-to-game basis has hurt his upside a bit in recent weeks. Green is averaging 23.3 points per game over his last 10 games.
Feb 5, 2023
Sputters in return
Green (calf) finished Saturday's 153-121 loss to the Thunder with 12 points (4-15 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four assists, two rebounds and two blocks in 22 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Green was back in action after a three-game absence due to a bruised calf, but fantasy managers may have preferred for the second-year guard to have sat out Saturday after he delivered a dud of a performance while seeing limited minutes on account of the blowout. Poor efficiency from the field and a lack of peripheral statistics continue to cap Green's overall fantasy upside and render him a far more useful option in points leagues than category formats.
Feb 4, 2023
Officially available Saturday
Green (calf) is available for Saturday's matchup against the Thunder, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.
ANALYSIS
Green got through warmups without a hitch, so he'll return following a three-game absence. With Kevin Porter (foot), Eric Gordon (knee) and Jae'Sean Tate (ankle) out, Green could see more usage than usual. In January, Green averaged 22.4 points, 4.0 assists and 3.6 rebounds in 35.0 minutes, but his shooting splits of 40/34/75 leave something to be desired.
Feb 4, 2023
Likely to play
Green (calf) will likely be available for Saturday's game against the Thunder, barring a setback in pregame warmups, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.
ANALYSIS
Green is expected to return Saturday following a three-game absence due to a bruised right calf. Whether or not he's on a minutes limit, the sophomore guard could see increased usage since Kevin Porter (foot), Eric Gordon (knee) and Jae'Sean Tate (ankle) are out. In January, Green averaged 22.4 points, 4.0 assists and 3.6 rebounds in 35.0 minutes, but his shooting splits of 40/34/75 leave something to be desired.
Feb 4, 2023
Officially questionable at OKC
Green (calf) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Thunder.
ANALYSIS
Green may return Saturday following a three-game absence due to a bruised right calf. Whether or not he's on a minutes limit, the sophomore could see increased usage if available since Kevin Porter (foot), Eric Gordon (knee) and Jae-Sean Tate (ankle) are out. In January, Green averaged 22.4 points, 4.0 assists and 3.6 rebounds in 35.0 minutes, but his shooting splits of 40/34/75 leave something to be desired.
Feb 3, 2023
Could return Saturday
Coach Stephen Silas said Thursday, "fingers crossed" for Green (calf) to play in Saturday's game versus the Thunder, Ben DuBose of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
Green has already been ruled out for Friday's game versus the Raptors due to a calf injury. However, if he is unable to suit up Saturday, Silas said he will definitely be able to return for Monday's matchup with the Kings.
Feb 2, 2023
Out Friday
Green (calf) is out Friday against the Raptors, Alykhan Bijani of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
As expected, the sophomore guard will sit out a third straight game due to a bruised right calf. Given that he was initially listed as doubtful, it wouldn't be surprising if Green also sat out the second half of the back-to-back Saturday against the Thunder. With Kevin Porter (foot/toe) still out, Daishen Nix and Kenyon Martin should remain in the starting five.
Feb 2, 2023
Unlikely to return Friday
Coach Stephen Silas said Green (calf) "probably won't play in Friday's game versus the Raptors, Danielle Lerner of the Houston Chronicle reports.
ANALYSIS
Green returned to practice Thursday after missing the previous two games with a calf injury. While he was expected to return this weekend, his likely absence Friday means that Saturday's matchup with the Thunder is his target date.
Feb 1, 2023
Hoping to return this weekend
Head coach Stephen Silas relayed Wednesday that he hopes to have Green (calf) back in the lineup this weekend, Mark Berman of Fox 26 Houston reports.
ANALYSIS
Green would have two chances to return to the lineup this weekend: Friday against the Raptors or Saturday against the Thunder. He will miss his second consecutive game Wednesday to rest the bothersome right calf, and it wouldn't be shocking if the team decides to limit him to just one of the back-to-back contests. Thursday's injury report should be more telling about Green's status against the Raptors on Friday.
Jan 31, 2023
Remains out Wednesday
Green (calf) will not play Wednesday against OKC.
ANALYSIS
Green did not practice Tuesday so it's no surprise that he'll miss a second straight game with a bruised right calf. The fact that he's been ruled out well in advance isn't the most encouraging sign, and fantasy managers should be prepared for the possibility that Green also misses at least one-half of the Rockets' upcoming back-to-back set Friday (vs. TOR) and Saturday (at OKC).
Jan 31, 2023
Still not practicing
Green (calf) didn't practice Tuesday, Mark Berman of Fox 26 Houston reports.
ANALYSIS
Green was sidelined for Saturday's win over the Pistons due to a right calf bruise and didn't practice Monday or Tuesday, putting his status for Wednesday's game against the Thunder in serious jeopardy. However, further clarity on his availability will surface when Houston releases its next official injury report. Kevin Porter (foot) remains out, so if Green is also sidelined again, Daishen Nix, Josh Christopher and TyTy Washington would all be candidates for increased roles.
Jan 30, 2023
Doesn't participate in practice
Green (calf) didn't participate in Monday's practice session, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.
ANALYSIS
Green was unavailable Saturday against the Pistons due to a right calf bruise, but the Rockets hope he'll be able to return to action Wednesday against the Thunder despite missing practice Monday. Over his last six appearances, he's averaged 23.5 points, 4.3 assists and 3.0 rebounds in 35.5 minutes per game.
Jan 27, 2023
Out Saturday
Green is out for Saturday's game against the Pistons due to a bruised right calf.
ANALYSIS
Saturday will mark just the second time this season Green has missed a game. With Kevin Porter (foot) also sidelined, more minutes will be available for TyTy Washington, Daishen Nix, Garrison Mathews and Josh Christopher.
Jan 26, 2023
Scores 19 with 19 shots
Green supplied 19 points (6-19 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 5-6 FT), four rebounds and seven assists over 38 minutes during Wednesday's 108-103 loss to Washington.
ANALYSIS
Green had a rough shooting performance but still ended as one of Houston's main scoring threats, and his contributions in other categories salvaged his fantasy performance. The second-year floor general has had a few off nights in the current month, but he's been serviceable for the most part. He's averaging 23.9 points, 3.9 rebounds and 4.1 assists per game in January.
Jan 24, 2023
Carries team to victory
Green notched 42 points (15-25 FG, 6-12 3Pt, 6-10 FT), four rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal in 35 minutes during Monday's 119-114 win over the Timberwolves.
ANALYSIS
Green posted a game-high 42 points by shooting an impressive 60.0 percent from the field and 50.0 percent from beyond the arc. His 42-point night marks a new career high for the 20-year-old, and it comes only a few nights after tying his previous top mark Wednesday against Charlotte (41 points).
Jan 19, 2023
Scores 41 points in loss
Green had 41 points (16-24 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 5-6 FT), five rebounds and seven assists over 40 minutes during Wednesday's 122-117 loss to the Hornets.
ANALYSIS
The 41-point performance represented Green's best scoring mark this season by a wide margin, as his previous season-best mark was a 34-point effort against the Magic on Nov. 7. Green has experienced an uptick in his usage rate of late, which is to be expected with Kevin Porter (foot) sidelined, and this has translated in him putting up at least 20 points in each of his last four contests. The second-year guard is averaging 24.0 points, 4.4 rebounds and 4.0 assists per game in January.
Jan 17, 2023
Posts 23 points in return
Green finished Monday's 140-132 loss to the Lakers with 23 points (7-20 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 6-8 FT), five rebounds and three assists in 39 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Back in action after he served a one-game suspension in Sunday's loss to the Clippers, Green saw extended playing time out of the backcourt while running mate Kevin Porter (foot) missed a third game in a row. Despite stepping in as the Rockets' de facto starting point guard, Green didn't see a major uptick in his passing, as wing Eric Gordon (eight assists) and center Alperen Sengun (six assists) instead acted as the top facilitators for Houston. Regardless of which players the Rockets have available on a given night, Green's fantasy value is largely going to be tied to his scoring and three-point production.
Jan 15, 2023
Suspended for Sunday's contest
Green received a one-game suspension for leaving the bench area during an altercation in Friday's game against the Kings, and he'll serve the suspension Sunday against the Clippers.
ANALYSIS
Jae'Sean Tate was also suspended for the Rockets with multiple other players receiving fines. Green's absence will be significant for Houston since he is averaging 21.5 points, 4.3 rebounds and 3.6 assists in 34.5 minutes this season. Kevin Porter (foot) is doubtful, likely leaving Garrison Matthews, Josh Christopher, Daishen Nix and TyTy Washington to have major increases in playing time.
Jan 14, 2023
Shoots better in loss Friday
Green closed Friday's 139-114 loss to the Kings with 27 points (10-21 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, two assists and two steals across 33 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Green's 27 points tied for the team lead with rookie Jabari Smith, and the scoring total came with an improved shooting line. While Green came into the contest averaging 19.5 points over his previous six games, he shot a miserable 32.4 percent from the field over that span. Against Sacramento, Green found his stroke from deep, going 5-for-9 from beyond the arc. Though he doesn't produce much in the way of peripheral stats and is shooting just 40.6 percent overall this season, Green does provide plenty of scoring and triples, as he is averaging 21.5 points and 2.4 three-pointers per game on the campaign.
Jan 12, 2023
Shooting woes continue
Green ended Wednesday's 135-115 loss to the Kings with 26 points (9-25 FG, 3-12 3Pt, 5-7 FT), five rebounds and three assists in 39 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Though Green led the Rockets with 26 points, he needed 25 shots to reach that mark. He appears to have the green light as he tries to work his way out of a shooting slump that has seen him make just 35 of 108 field-goal attempts (32.4 percent) over his past seven games. While Green's fairly consistent scoring output can be nice from a fantasy perspective, he's one of the game's biggest field-goal drains -- among qualified players averaging at least 20 points per contest, none have a lower field-goal rate than Green's 40.4 percent mark.
Jan 6, 2023
Scores inefficient 30 points
Green provided 30 points (8-24 FG, 4-12 3Pt, 10-11 FT), four rebounds and four assists in 38 minutes during Thursday's 131-114 loss to the Jazz.
ANALYSIS
Green led the Rockets with 30 points, although his shooting woes continued, going just 8-of-24 from the field. He has now shot under 35 percent in four straight games, adding basically nothing on the defensive end. His flaws are obvious for all to see, placing him well outside the top 150 for the season. While he is still a must-roster player, he is certainly not going to be a viable option for everyone.
Jan 5, 2023
Scores 16 with 15 shots
Green logged 16 points (5-15 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds, four assists and one block in 32 minutes during Wednesday's 119-108 loss to the Pelicans.
ANALYSIS
Green has surpassed the 15-point mark in eight straight contests, and while he continues to produce on the backcourt, the shooting woes are real for the second-year guard. Green is shooting just 39.5 percent from the floor in his last five contests.
Jan 3, 2023
Shooting woes continue
Green closed Monday's 111-106 loss to the Mavericks with 20 points (5-17 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 8-12 FT), five rebounds, four assists and one steal in 32 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Green has been struggling with his shot of late and hasn't made more than 10 shots in a game in all but one of his last 11 appearances. The second-year guard continues to produce and remains a must-roster player in all formats, but the shooting woes are concerning and he's connected in just 40.3 percent of his field-goal attempts in that span.
Jan 1, 2023
Struggles from field
Green registered 16 points (4-12 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 5-6 FT), three rebounds and three assists across 35 minutes during Saturday's 108-88 loss to New York.
ANALYSIS
Green shot just 33.3 percent from the field, but he found more success from beyond the arc where he scored nine of his 16 points. He's knocked down three or more triples in four straight matchups, and he's averaging 22.8 points, 4.3 rebounds and 3.0 assists over this stretch.
Dec 27, 2022
Reaches 20-point mark again
Green chipped in 24 points (9-15 FG, 6-10 3Pt, 0-2 FT), six rebounds, three assists and one steal in 35 minutes during Monday's 133-118 win over Chicago.
ANALYSIS
Green has surpassed the 20-point mark in three games in a row and in six of his last eight contests, so his role as one of Houston's main scoring weapons is noticeable, as evidenced by the fact that he's attempting 17.0 field goals per game in that span. The efficiency has not always been there, though, and while Green's percentage numbers are worse compared to the ones of his rookie year, he supplies that with high-volume scoring numbers. He's averaging 21.4 points across 34.5 minutes per game.
Dec 24, 2022
Nice effort in loss
Green compiled 23 points (6-17 FG, 0-4 3PT, 11-12 FT), eight rebounds, four assists and two steals across 39 minutes in Friday's 112-106 loss to the Mavericks.
ANALYSIS
While Green stuggled from the field, he was able to make up for it with an all-around effort that included a healthy number of attempts from the charity stripe. It was the fifth time this season he got double-digit attempts from there, and by only missing one he increased his percentage on the year to 79.9. The second-year combo guard still needs to work on his efficiency, but is capable of getting hot at any moment.
Dec 18, 2022
Struggles to find shooting touch
Green amassed 15 points (5-16 FG, 0-6 3Pt, 5-9 FT), five rebounds, four assists and one block in 31 minutes during Saturday's 107-95 loss to the Trail Blazers.
ANALYSIS
Green failed to hit a shot from beyond the arc for the first time since Dec. 8, but he still managed to reach 15 points. He also made an impact on the glass and has now secured five or more rebounds in each of his last four matchups. The 20-year-old is averaging 21.6 points, 4.2 rebounds and 3.8 assists through 29 appearances so far this season.
Dec 16, 2022
Scores team-high 22 points
Green accumulated 22 points (8-21 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 5-6 FT), five rebounds, one assist, one block and three steals over 36 minutes during Thursday's 111-108 loss to the Heat.
ANALYSIS
Green is firmly entrenched as the Rockets' primary scoring weapon, and he's going through an excellent stretch over the last few weeks. The second-year guard has reached the 20-point mark in three straight contests and five of his seven games this month, averaging 23.1 points per game in that span. That said, he could use an uptick in terms of efficiency since he's making just 39.6 percent of his shots and 22.0 percent of his three-point attempts.
Dec 13, 2022
Drops game-high 26 points in win
Green registered 26 points (7-17 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 11-12 FT), seven rebounds and four assists in 37 minutes during Tuesday's 111-97 victory over the Suns.
ANALYSIS
Green led all scorers with 26 points in the win, topping 20 points for the third time in his last four games. While his efficiency remains a bugaboo for managers, he has been able to up his productivity in both assists and rebounds. The scoring will generally be there on most nights, so adding some peripheral production is going to be key to maximizing his fantasy value moving forward.
Dec 11, 2022
Drops a cool 30 points in win
Green finished Sunday's 97-92 victory over the Bucks with 30 points (12-21 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), seven rebounds and three assists over 34 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Green led all scorers Sunday as the Rockets caused a massive boilover, dropping 30 points for the sixth time this season. Despite career-high numbers across multiple categories, Green currently sits well outside the top 150, thanks primarily to poor efficiency and high turnovers. These are known fantasy issues, and something that managers should have been prepared for coming into the season. Flaws aside, he has been as advertised and should be rostered in all formats.
Dec 3, 2022
Team-high 30 points in win
Green produced 30 points (8-24 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 12-16 FT), three rebounds, two assists and three steals in 37 minutes during Friday's 122-121 victory over Phoenix.
ANALYSIS
Green led the Rockets in scoring Friday with 30 points but was incredibly inefficient outside of the third quarter where he collected 20 points on 6-of-10 shooting from the field. He was just a combined 2-of-14 through the other three quarters, though his one point from the free-throw line in the fourth quarter did put Houston up 122-121 to eventually win the game. It was Green's fifth 30-point game of the season while he also recorded a season-high three steals in the contest.
Dec 1, 2022
Needs 16 shots to score 16
Green ended with 16 points (6-16 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 3-5 FT), three rebounds and three assists in 35 minutes during Wednesday's 120-100 loss to Denver.
ANALYSIS
Green's role as one of the Rockets' main offensive weapons is not under question, but the second-year guard has been experiencing some struggles when it comes to his efficiency levels in recent games. He's failed to reach the 20-point mark in five of his last seven contests and is making just 40.2 percent of his shots from the field in that span. Those efficiency woes aren't overly concerning, however, as Green has enough volume to remain relevant in fantasy, as evidenced by the fact that he's averaging 20.0 points per game during that seven-game stretch.
Nov 27, 2022
Team-high 28 points
Green racked up 28 points (11-19 FG, 6-9 3Pt), two rebounds and nine assists in 34 minutes during Saturday's 118-105 win over the Thunder.
ANALYSIS
Green did most of his damage on offense between the second and third quarters, going 9-of-13 from the field for 22 points over that stretch while also dishing out five assists. Despite not scoring in the fourth quarter, he still finished with a team-high 28 points on the night while connecting on a game and season-high six three-pointers. The nine assists were also both a game and season-high.
Nov 26, 2022
Another impressive outing
Green totaled 30 points (10-17 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 7-9 FT), five rebounds and five assists over 33 minutes before fouling out of Friday's 128-122 victory over the Hawks.
ANALYSIS
Green was coming off three games in which his offensive numbers weren't up to the same standards of the first weeks of the campaign, but he bounced back here with his fourth 30-point performance of the season. The second-year guard is experiencing an uptick compared to the numbers of his rookie year, and he's averaging 21.5 points, 4.4 rebounds and 3.3 assists per contest.
Nov 25, 2022
Available Friday
Green (toe) is available for Friday's game against the Hawks.
ANALYSIS
Green could take on some more usage Friday, as Alperen Sengun (groin) is sidelined. This month, the guard is averaging 22.8 points, 4.7 assists and 4.4 rebounds in 35.1 minutes.
Nov 24, 2022
Dealing with sore toe
Green is probable for Friday's game against the Hawks due to a sore right toe.
ANALYSIS
There's little reason to believe the issue is serious, but Green is one of a whopping eight players listed on Houston's injury report for Friday. The second-year guard is off to a semi-disappointing start to the season, shooting just 41.2 percent from the field and 34.4 percent from deep while turning the ball over 2.9 times per game. Despite the inefficiency, Green is providing fantasy managers with 21.0 points, 4.4 rebounds and 3.5 assists per game.
Nov 21, 2022
Struggles from field continues
Green ended with 16 points (4-15 FG, 1-8 3Pt, 7-8 FT), five rebounds, four assists and two steals in 38 minutes during Sunday's 127-120 loss to the Warriors.
ANALYSIS
No one should question Green's role as Houston's main scoring threat, but he's been struggling massively in the last few games as he's failed to reach the 20-point mark in three straight outings while making just 27.5 percent of his field-goal attempts and 12.5 percent of his threes in that span. Green started the month with six straight contests with at least 20 points, however, so the chances of him turning things around sooner than later are quite strong. The Rockets have a few days off, so Green's next chance to play will come Friday against the Hawks.
Nov 15, 2022
Tallies season-high assist mark
Green provided 25 points (10-19 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, seven assists and one steal in 35 minutes during Monday's 122-106 loss to the Clippers.
ANALYSIS
Green was listed as questionable on the initial injury report due to a shoulder injury. However, he displayed no ill effects of the issue in the contest, connecting on 10 of his 19 attempts from the field while posting a high-water mark of seven assists. There shouldn't be any real concern with Green moving forward, barring a reappearance on the injury report.
Nov 14, 2022
Will play Monday
Green (shoulder) is available for Monday's contest against the Clippers, Adam Spolane of Sports Radio 610 Houston reports.
ANALYSIS
Green was added to the injury report due to shoulder soreness, but the second-year pro will officially be active for Monday's game against the Clippers. The 20-year-old guard has averaged 26.2 points, 3.4 rebounds and 4.0 assists per game over his last five showings.
Nov 13, 2022
Questionable Monday
Green is questionable for Monday's game against the Clippers due to right shoulder soreness.
ANALYSIS
Green has had plenty of playing time over his last three appearances, and he's averaged 29.3 points, 3.7 rebounds and 5.0 assists in 38.7 minutes per game during that time. However, he's apparently dealing with a shoulder injury that puts him in jeopardy of missing his first game of the season.
Nov 13, 2022
Posts another big scoring game
Green totaled 33 points (11-20 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 6-6 FT), two rebounds and six assists across 38 minutes during Saturday's 119-106 loss to the Pelicans.
ANALYSIS
Green led all players in scoring in the contest and finished one point shy of his season-high mark, which he set less than a week ago against Orlando. The sophomore guard reached his 33 points with an efficient shooting night that included a 5-for-10 mark from three-point range. Green has had a number of poor shooting games this season, but he's improved dramatically of late, making 59.6 percent of his field-goal tries (31-for-52) over his past three contests.
Nov 10, 2022
Scores team-high 21 points
Green posted 21 points (8-14 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), six rebounds and six assists across 40 minutes in Wednesday's 116-109 loss against the Raptors.
ANALYSIS
Green was the only Houston player who reached the 20-point mark in this game, but his scoring efforts were not enough to pull the upset on the road. The second-year guard is firmly established as the Rockets' main scoring threat and the numbers back that up, as he's now scored at least 20 points in four straight outings, his longest streak of the current campaign.
Nov 8, 2022
New season scoring high
Green supplied 34 points (12-18 FG, 5-11 3Pt, 5-7 FT), three rebounds, three assists, one block and two steals across 38 minutes during Monday's 134-127 win over Orlando.
ANALYSIS
The second-year guard set a new season high in points while leading the Rockets to their first win in seven games. Green also has his best shooting night of the year, as he came into Monday with a rough 37.7 percent FG%. Despite those struggles, he's averaging 20.8 points, 4.0 boards, 2.9 threes, 2.3 assists and 0.9 steals through 11 games.
Nov 7, 2022
Available Monday
Green is available for Monday's contest against the Magic, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.
ANALYSIS
Green came into Monday probable due to a knee injury and will officially be active for Houston's contest against Orlando. The second-year pro is averaging 19.5 points, 4.1 rebounds and 2.2 assists across 32.9 minutes to begin the season.
Nov 6, 2022
Probable Monday
Green is probable for Monday's game against the Magic due to a left knee contusion.
ANALYSIS
Green has topped 20 points in the last two games, but he's dealing with a knee issue ahead of Monday's matchup. However, he's unlikely to miss the game against Orlando due to the injury.
Nov 3, 2022
Ends rough shooting stretch
Green produced 22 points (9-17 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds, one assist and one steal across 30 minutes in Wednesday's 109-101 loss to the Clippers.
ANALYSIS
Though the Rockets dropped their fifth game in a row, Green at least rediscovered his shooting touch after a rough four-game stretch. In those prior four contests, Green averaged 13.0 points while shooting 24.1 percent from the field and 61.5 percent from the free-throw line. Green has yet to build on the improved efficiency he showed toward the end of his rookie season, but he's bound to take a step forward from the 48 percent true shooting rate he's turned in through the first nine games of 2022-23. Fantasy managers should continue to exercise patience with the second-year guard.
Oct 31, 2022
Struggles from field in loss
Green finished Sunday's 124-109 loss to Phoenix with 15 points (5-18 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 3-4 FT), one rebound, two assists and one steal in 31 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Green needed 18 shots just to score 15 points, and to make things even worse, he didn't record major contributions in other categories to salvage his fantasy outing. The second-year guard has been trending in the wrong direction of late, though, averaging just 14.3 points and shooting 26.3 percent from the field across his last three outings.
Oct 30, 2022
Third-year option picked up
The Rockets exercised Green's third-year option for the 2023-24 season Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Green has had a prominent role for the Rockets early in his professional career, and it's not surprising to see the team pick up his third-year option. Over the first six matchups of the 2022-23 season, he's averaged 20.7 points, 5.0 points and 2.3 assists in 33.7 minutes per game.
Oct 25, 2022
Run of production continues
Green closed Monday's 114-108 victory over the Jazz with 25 points (9-16 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 3-3 FT), three rebounds and three assists across 36 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Although Kevin Porter took sway the crown as the team's top scorer in Houston's first win, Green put up another excellent line. His 16 shot attempts marked his fewest so far this season, but he made up for it by sinking them at a 56.3 percent clip.
Oct 23, 2022
Leads Rockets in scoring again
Green ended with 22 points (6-19 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 6-6 FT), four rebounds, two assists and one steal across 32 minutes during Saturday's 125-105 loss to the Bucks.
ANALYSIS
Though Green paced Houston in scoring for the second straight game, he had trouble getting his shot to fall, especially from inside the arc. He shot well from three-point range (4-for-7) but went just 2-for-12 on two-point attempts. Green also posted modest complementary stats, so this wasn't a huge fantasy performance. He's shooting 43.3 percent from the field on the season while averaging 23.7 points, 4.7 boards, 2.3 dimes, 3.0 three-pointers and 1.0 steals.
Oct 22, 2022
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.
ANALYSIS
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.
Oct 20, 2022
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.
ANALYSIS
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.
Oct 15, 2022
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.
ANALYSIS
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.
Oct 11, 2022
Blasts off for 25 preseason points
Green recorded 25 points (7-18 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 6-6 FT), five assists, four rebounds and one steal over 28 minutes Monday in a loss to Miami.
ANALYSIS
Green led the Rockets in scoring in the exhibition game, with all but two of his field goals coming from beyond the arc. He scored 23 points in his previous preseason contest Friday and outdid himself by two points in Monday's loss. Green has combined for nine triples over his past two preseason games after averaging 2.3 three-pointers per contest as a rookie last season.
Apr 11, 2022
Explodes for 41 points in finale
Green notched 41 points (14-26 FG, 4-11 3Pt, 9-11 FT), one rebound, three assists and one steal over 40 minutes during Sunday's 130-114 loss to the Hawks.
ANALYSIS
Despite the Rockets' lost season, they've found a bonafide star in Green, who emerged as one of the league's most potent rookies down the stretch. His 41-point effort was a season-high for Green, and he's logged seven games with 30-plus points, most of which occurred recently.
Apr 10, 2022
Will play Sunday
Green (illness) will play Sunday against the Hawks, Cayleigh Griffin of AT&T SportsNet Southwest reports.
ANALYSIS
Green came into the contest questionable due to a non-COVID illness, but the rookie will suit up for the regular season finale. Since the All-Star break, he's averaged 21.3 points, 4.0 rebounds and 3.2 assists on 47/39/75 shooting.
Apr 9, 2022
Questionable for finale
Green is questionable for Sunday's game against the Hawks due to an illness, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.
ANALYSIS
Green's rookie year will come to a close Sunday whether or not he sees the floor. Out of the gate, he struggled with his shooting efficiency, but he's stepped up over the second half of the campaign. Coming out of the All-Star break, he's averaged 21.3 points, 4.0 rebounds and 3.2 assists on 47/39/75 shooting.
Apr 6, 2022
Another 30-plus point outing
Green posted 30 points (12-23 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 2-3 FT), six rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal across 41 minutes during Tuesday's 118-105 loss to the Nets.
ANALYSIS
Green finished with at least one steal and one block in the same game for the 11th time this season and scored 30-plus points for a fifth consecutive contest. During that stretch, the rookie point guard has averaged 31.2 points, 4.4 rebounds and 2.8 assists in 38.8 minutes per game.
Apr 4, 2022
Carries Houston in loss
Green accumulated 31 points (12-18 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 3-6 FT), two rebounds and five assists in 36 minutes during Sunday's 139-132 loss to the Timberwolves.
ANALYSIS
The rookie has been nearly unstoppable in recent weeks and aside from putting up 20-plus points in six games in a row, he's also reached the 30-point plateau in each of his last four contests. Green is ending his rookie year in The Association in a strong way and is averaging 22.7 points per game over his last 10 appearances.
Apr 2, 2022
Another 30-point effort
Green had 33 points (9-24 FG, 6-14 3Pt, 9-9 FT), eight rebounds, one assist and one steal across 40 minutes during Friday's 122-117 loss to Sacramento.
ANALYSIS
Green is finally living up to the hype that made him one of the top picks in the 2021 NBA Draft, and while the up-and-downs are expected for a rookie, he's been tearing it up of late. Over his last 10 contests, Green is averaging 21.8 points, 4.3 rebounds and 2.6 assists while shooting 42 percent from deep. As if that wasn't enough, Green has also scored 30 or more points in each of his last three appearances.
Mar 31, 2022
Explodes for 32 points
Green notched 32 points (11-25 FG, 6-14 3Pt, 4-5 FT), two rebounds and two assists over 37 minutes during Wednesday's 121-118 loss to the Kings.
ANALYSIS
Green was undoubtedly one of the best offensive threats for the Rockets but wasn't entirely efficient, as he needed 25 shots to record 32 points and didn't offer much in other categories. Either way, the rookie has now scored at least 30 points in back-to-back games and has now delivered at least 23 points in four straight appearances. He's averaging 20.8 points per game in March.
Mar 29, 2022
Explodes for 30 points in loss
Green chipped in 30 points (10-24 FG, 6-15 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds, four assists and one block over 40 minutes during Monday's 123-120 loss to San Antonio.
ANALYSIS
Green is on an insane three-game run, averaging 26.0 points, 4.3 rebounds and 2.0 assists over the past week. The first-round draft pick now looks like a sound investment for the Rockets, who will try to find another playmaker like Green with a high pock in the offseason.
Mar 27, 2022
Continues late-season surge
Green contributed 25 points (9-17 FG, 6-11 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal across 32 minutes during Saturday's 115-98 win over the Trail Blazers.
ANALYSIS
Green put together another standout shooting effort in the win, going 6-for-11 from three-point range and 9-for-17 from the field overall. The rookie has knocked down 11 triples over his past two games and has registered 12 games with at least three treys across his past 21 contests. Green has improved his shooting considerably over the past two months -- he has pushed his season shooting rate to 41.7 percent after sitting at just 37.0 percent through the end of January.
Mar 26, 2022
Scores 23 in win
Green supplied 23 points (9-16 FG, 5-10 3Pt) and three rebounds across 28 minutes during Friday's 125-106 win over the Trail Blazers.
ANALYSIS
The Rockets rolled over the tanking Blazers, who managed just 106 points and shot 3-of-20 from deep as a team. The rookie got off to a bit of a rocky start, but he's been much better over the second half of the season. Dating back to Feb. 2 (24 games), Green is averaging 18.0 points, 3.1 rebounds, 3.2 assists and shooting 47.1 percent from the field (37.8% 3Pt).
Mar 22, 2022
Solid line in victory
Green closed with 17 points (7-14 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 0-1 FT), six rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal in 32 minutes during Monday's 115-97 win over the Wizards.
ANALYSIS
After a slight regression against Memphis, Green got back to his recent high-scoring ways. Although the eight-point performance against the Grizzlies left much to be desired, he still managed averages of 16.8 points, 3.8 assists and 3.6 rebounds over the past five games.
Mar 19, 2022
Back-to-back 20-point games
Green accumulated 20 points (6-15 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 7-7 FT), five rebounds, six assists and one block across 37 minutes during Friday's 121-118 loss to the Pacers.
ANALYSIS
Green scored 20-plus points for a second consecutive game and for the 18th time this season. It was also just the second time that the rookie finished with at least 20 points, five rebounds and five assists in a game during the campaign. Across 10 games in March, Green has averaged 21.1 points, 4.1 assists and 3.3 rebounds in 34.3 minutes per game.
Mar 14, 2022
Serviceable effort despite loss
Green notched 17 points (6-13 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT), two rebounds, four assists and one steal over 27 minutes during Sunday's 130-105 loss to New Orleans.
ANALYSIS
Green managed to walk away with a decent fantasy line Sunday, despite the fact the team was completely outplayed. The rookie has had some issues shooting the ball thus far, coming in at 41 percent on the season. However, over the past month, he has upped that to almost 49 percent, while also increasing his shot attempts. The Rockets are fully invested in Green and so he should have a clear runway to minutes ROS.
Mar 9, 2022
Posts season-high 32 points
Green provided 32 points (13-21 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, three assists and one block over 38 minutes during Wednesday's 139-130 overtime victory over the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
Green delivered his highest point total of the campaign while shooting better than 60 percent from the field to help push the Rockets past the Lakers. The 20-year-old has enjoyed a strong rookie campaign overall but has really stepped up of late with averages of 23.5 points, 3.8 rebounds and 3.7 assists across the past six games.
Mar 7, 2022
Continues run of improved shooting
Green finished with 24 points (8-17 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 6-9 FT), eight rebounds and four assists across 35 minutes Sunday in the Rockets' 123-112 win over the Grizzlies.
ANALYSIS
Though his showing from the free-throw line could have been better, Green has nonetheless continued to make strides with his overall efficiency after struggling as a shooter for the majority of his rookie campaign. He's still converting only 40 percent of his field goals for the season, but that rate has jumped to 46.7 percent -- including 36.7 percent from three-point range on seven attempts per game -- since the beginning of February. If Green can maintain this level of efficiency over the final five weeks of the season, managers in dynasty or keeper leagues in particular will have to be encouraged about his long-term outlook.
Mar 5, 2022
Solid output against Denver
Green registered 18 points (7-14 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-4 FT), five rebounds, seven assists and one block in 32 minutes during Friday's 116-101 loss to the Nuggets.
ANALYSIS
Green couldn't repeat the 27-point output he delivered against the Jazz earlier this week, but he still ended with a decent stat line across the board. He has scored over 15 points in each of his last three contests and has averaged 17.7 points since the beginning of February.
Mar 3, 2022
Scores 27 points in loss
Green logged 27 points (11-16 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal across 47 minutes during Wednesday's 132-127 overtime loss to the Jazz.
ANALYSIS
The rookie had an excellent performance and while the Rockets lost this one, he can't be the one to blame. Green was efficient and trustworthy on offense, but that has been a trend with him of late. The first-year guard has scored at least 20 points in four of his last five contests.
Mar 3, 2022
Puts up most points since Jan. 1
Green tallied 27 points (11-16 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four assists, two rebounds, one steal and one block across 47 minutes Wednesday in the Rockets' 132-127 overtime loss to the Jazz.
ANALYSIS
Though Green hasn't quite lived up to the Rookie of the Year hype he held heading into the campaign, the 20-year-old has seemingly settled into a groove since late January. He's reached double figures in the scoring column in 14 straight games, with his 27-point outing Wednesday marking his best showing in the category since Jan. 1. Green is also converting at a 44.7 percent clip from the field and a 35.8 percent clip from downtown, both of which are well above his season-long rates (39.6 and 31.2 percent, respectively). The young guard typically doesn't offer much production in the peripheral categories, however, so he'll continue to retain his most fantasy value in points leagues.
Mar 2, 2022
Reaches 20-point mark again
Green contributed 20 points (9-21 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, one assist, one block and two steals in 33 minutes during Tuesday's 113-100 loss to the Clippers.
ANALYSIS
Green reached the 20-point mark for the third time over his last four appearances, and perhaps even more importantly, he showed the ability to bounce back instantly following a subpar performance since he had scored just 10 points in the previous meeting against the Clippers on Feb. 27. The rookie scored in double figures in every February matchup and is averaging 16.8 points per game over his last 11 contests.
Feb 26, 2022
Scores 23 in loss
Green closed Friday's 119-111 loss to the Magic with 23 points (9-16 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five rebounds, two assists and four steals in 31 minutes.
ANALYSIS
In Houston's first game after the All-Star break, Green picked up right where he left off by scoring 20-plus points for a second straight contest while also generating solid marks in rebounds and steals. He's now scored in double figures in 11 consecutive appearances and has averaged 16.5 points, 2.9 rebounds and 2.8 assists in 31.8 minutes per game during that time.
Feb 19, 2022
Leads Team Worthy with 20 points
Green totaled 20 points (8-13 FG, 4-9 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists, two steals and one block during Friday's 50-49 loss to Team Isiah during the Rising Stars competition at All-Star Weekend.
ANALYSIS
Green's full offensive repertoire was on display for Team Worthy. The 6-foot-4 guard made numerous highlight-reel plays at the rim and showed off his shooting range by knocking down a game-high four threes. The 2021 No. 2 overall draft pick was aggressive early and often during the first leg of the Rising Stars new format, but his performance was ultimately not enough as Saddiq Bey swatted his potential game-winning shot before Desmond Bane iced the game for Team Isiah with a pair of free throws.
Feb 18, 2022
Leads Rockets with 21 points
Green notched 21 points (8-15 FG, 5-10 3Pt), two assists and one steal over 31 minutes during Thursday's 142-111 loss to the Clippers.
ANALYSIS
Houston was blown out Thursday, but Green enjoyed a solid offensive performance with five triples and a team-leading 21 points. He has knocked down multiple three-pointers in three straight contests and is shooting a healthy 47.5 percent overall -- and 44.4 percent from beyond the arc -- over that stretch. Those numbers are vast improvements over his 38.7 percent field-goal rate and 31.1 percent mark from deep on the season.
Feb 5, 2022
Scores 12 points in defeat
Green contributed 12 points (3-9 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), two rebounds, three assists and one steal across 23 minutes during Friday's 131-106 loss to San Antonio.
ANALYSIS
Green was one of five Houston players that scored in double digits in this one, but he wasn't very efficient across the board and didn't do much in other categories. At least the rookie remains productive since he has scored in double digits in four games in a row.
Jan 22, 2022
Brutal offensive night in loss
Green registered three points (0-11 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT), two rebounds and three assists over 25 minutes during Friday's 105-103 loss to the Warriors.
ANALYSIS
The rookie had strung together a nice 12-game run since returning from a hamstring injury, but he's now struggled in back-to-back games against the Jazz and Warriors, respectively. Green shot just 3-of-13 from the field against Utah and missed all 11 of his attempts Friday night. Nonetheless, the rookie should be allowed to play through his growing pains on a Rockets team with its eye on the future.
Jan 11, 2022
Posts 14 points in loss
Green racked up 14 points (6-12 FG, 2-6 3Pt), five rebounds and one assist across 30 minutes during Monday's 111-91 loss to the 76ers.
ANALYSIS
Green logged one of his most accurate shooting nights since returning from a 14-game absence and has logged double-digit scoring numbers in every game since rejoining the team. The Rockets depend heavily on Green's production, and he should remain in the starting lineup, barring any health setbacks.
Jan 6, 2022
Gets buckets again
Green finished Wednesday's 114-111 win over the Wizards with 22 points (8-17 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 4-5 FT), six rebounds and one assist across 34 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Green has averaged a healthy 17.7 points on 44.6 percent shooting from the field across his previous six games since returning from a hamstring injury. However, the rookie is continuing to supply very few peripheral stats. Green has graded as a negative contributor during his time on the floor on the season, but his recent offensive uptick is promising.
Jan 2, 2022
Leads Rockets with 29 points
Green provided 29 points (6-13 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 12-14 FT), one rebound and one assist in 28 minutes during Saturday's 124-111 loss to the Nuggets.
ANALYSIS
Both Christian Wood and Kevin Porter (thigh) played limited minutes in the contest, leaving Green to carry the bulk of the offense. The rookie responded with his highest scoring effort since dropping 30 on Boston on Oct. 24, though he didn't notch any defensive stats and added just one board and one assist. Green's lack of peripheral stats has been a theme throughout his rookie campaign, so his fantasy value is almost exclusively tied to his ability to score and knock down triples.
Jan 1, 2022
Good to go vs. Nuggets
Green (hamstring) is available for Saturday's contest against the Nuggets.
ANALYSIS
Green is apparently still dealing with some pain in his hamstring, but he'll be fine for Saturday. Since his return, he's averaged 20.0 points on 48.8 percent shooting, 2.7 assists, 2.0 rebounds and 1.3 steals in 30.3 minutes.
Jan 1, 2022
Probable vs. Denver
Green (hamstring) is probable for Saturday's matchup against the Nuggets, Adam Wexler of Sportstalk 790 Houston reports.
ANALYSIS
Green is apparently still dealing with some pain in his hamstring, but he's appeared in three of the past four games. Since his return, he's averaged 20.0 points on 48.8 percent shooting, 2.7 assists, 2.0 rebounds and 1.3 steals in 30.3 minutes.
Dec 29, 2021
Two good games since return
Green (hamstring) put up 24 points (8-16 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 4-5 FT), four assists, two rebounds and two steals in 38 minutes Tuesday in the Rockets' 132-123 loss to the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
Green was out for the front end of the back-to-back set Monday in Charlotte while he received maintenance for the hamstring injury that recently kept him sidelined, but he was back in the lineup Tuesday and thrived while playing big minutes. Before he sustained the injury Nov. 24, Green had gotten off to a rocky, inefficient start to his NBA career, but the rookie has been outstanding in his first two games since returning to action. He's put up a combined 46 points in those contests while knocking down half of his shots from the field and going 10-for-18 from long range.
Dec 29, 2021
Goes for 24 points in return
Green posted 24 points (8-16 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 4-5 FT), two rebounds, four assists and two steals in 38 minutes during Tuesday's 132-123 loss to Los Angeles.
ANALYSIS
Green returned to action after resting Dec. 27 against the Hornets and was one of Houston's best players in this one. The rookie has struggled with a hamstring injury during most of this month, but he's completely recovered now and should remain in the starting five on a regular basis going forward. The rookie is averaging 14.8 points per game despite shooting just 39.5 percent from the field.
Dec 28, 2021
Removed from injury report
Green (hamstring) isn't listed on the injury report ahead of Tuesday's contest against the Lakers, Alykhan Bijani of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Green returned from a 14-game absence to drop 20 points in 25 minutes against the Pacers on Dec. 23, but he was subsequently sidelined for the Rockets' next game due to rest. Before his absence, the rookie first-round pick was averaging 14.3 points, 3.0 rebounds and 2.3 assists across 30.5 minutes per game.
Dec 27, 2021
Active, unlikely to play
Coach Stephen Silas said Green (hamstring) is active, but he is unlikely to play in Monday's contest against the Hornets, Adam Wexler of Sportstalk 790 Houston reports.
ANALYSIS
Green returned from a 14-game absence to play 25 minutes during Thursday's loss to the Pacers, but the Rockets are electing to be cautious with their rookie first-round pick and are expected to rest him against Charlotte. In his potential absence, Armoni Brooks and Eric Gordon are both candidates for increased minutes Monday.
Dec 26, 2021
Questionable for Monday
Green (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Hornets.
ANALYSIS
Green made his return to action Thursday against the Pacers after a long injury layoff, so the Rockets will keep an eye on how his hamstring responds Monday before officially clearing him to play. The No. 2 overall pick finished Thursday's game with 20 points, two assists, one rebound, one block and two steals.
Dec 24, 2021
Promising return
Green notched 20 points (7-14 FG, 6-9 3Pt), one rebound, two assists, one block and two steals across 25 minutes during Thursday's 118-106 loss to the Pacers.
ANALYSIS
Green rained in six threes -- just the second outing of his career in which he's connected on over five threes. Freshly off missing a month with a hamstring injury, perhaps Green's absence yielded positive growth in slowing down the game and a renewed outlook offensively. Green had received a share of the blame for the Rockets atrocious start -- shooting 38 percent over 18 contests -- but the 19-year-old's best basketball is still ahead of him.
Dec 23, 2021
Will have minutes restriction
Green (hamstring) will face a minutes restriction Thursday against the Pacers, Danielle Lerner of the Houston Chronicle reports.
ANALYSIS
Coach Stephen Silas did not specify what that limit will be -- he said Green's minutes load "will not be very high" -- but this shouldn't come as much of a surprise considering this will be Green's firs time playing 5-on-5 since he sustained the hamstring injury back on Nov. 24. The rookie remains an attractive long-term fantasy option, but his lack of efficiency has been a thorn in the side of season-long managers thus far.
Dec 23, 2021
Officially returning Thursday
Green (hamstring) is officially off the injury report and making his return Thursday against the Pacers, Cayleigh Griffin of AT&T SportsNet Southwest reports.
ANALYSIS
As expected, Green is making his return just before Christmas following a 14-game absence due to a hamstring injury. There's a good chance he'll be on a minutes limit in his first game back, and possibly a couple more, but the Rockets will look to integrate him back into the rotation as quickly as possible. While the rookie has struggled shooting (38.2 percent from the field), he will continue seeing significant usage as the franchise continues its rebuild with him as the primary focus.
Dec 21, 2021
Set to make return Thursday
Green (hamstring) is planning to make his return to action Thursday against the Pacers, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
A strained hamstring has kept the No. 2 overall pick sidelined since Nov. 24, but he's ramped up his activity in recent weeks and is on track to return to the lineup just before Christmas. While Green will remain out for Wednesday's game at Milwaukee -- it will mark his 14th straight absence -- he should be close to a full-go Thursday, though the Rockets will keep a close eye on how his left hamstring responds. With how the schedule breaks down, Green will have three full days off before the Rockets resume their post-Christmas schedule Monday at Charlotte.
Dec 19, 2021
Out Monday
Green (hamstring) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Bulls, Adam Spolane of Sports Radio 610 Houston reports.
ANALYSIS
Green will miss his 13th straight game due to a nagging hamstring injury that has kept him out since late November. His next chance to potentially return would be Wednesday against the Bucks.
Dec 17, 2021
Out Saturday
Green (hamstring) is out Saturday against the Pistons, Rod Beard of The Detroit News reports.
ANALYSIS
Green has been ramping up his activity and should return soon, but it won't be this weekend. His next chance to play arrives Monday against the Bulls.
Dec 16, 2021
Remains out Thursday
Green (hamstring) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Knicks, Adam Spolane of Sports Radio 610 Houston reports.
ANALYSIS
Green has been sidelined since late November due to a hamstring injury but participated in shooting drills last week. However, the 29-year-old remains without a timetable to return to game action.
Dec 9, 2021
Takes part in shooting drills
Green (hamstring) was able to complete shooting drills Tuesday, but the Rockets have yet to provide an updated timeline for the rookie to return to game action, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.
ANALYSIS
The shooting drills marked Green's most extensive on-court activity since he strained his left hamstring Nov. 24, but he still has several more checkpoints to hit in his recovery before he'll be deemed ready to play again. Green looks safe to rule out for the Rockets' upcoming Friday/Saturday back-to-back set against the Bucks and Grizzlies, respectively, and he'll likely need to upgrade to full participation in practice in the next few days to have a shot at playing at any point next week.
Dec 3, 2021
Out at least another week
Green (hamstring) will be evaluated week-by-week, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.
ANALYSIS
This is discouraging news for fantasy managers, as it doesn't seem like Green is making great progress. He'll be out at least another week, and it wouldn't be surprising if that absence extends even further.
Dec 2, 2021
Ruled out Friday
Green (hamstring) has been ruled out for Friday's game against Orlando, Alykhan Bijani of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Green will miss a fourth consecutive game due to a left hamstring strain. Armoni Brooks, Garrison Mathews and Eric Gordon should continue to see additional playing time Friday.
Nov 26, 2021
Out at least one week
Green suffered a strained left hamstring and will be re-evaluated in one week, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
The rookie left Wednesday's game against the Bulls due to the injury. Though he's been struggling overall, he was getting in a groove where he had scored double-digit points in five of the past six games, and he had 11 points in 11 minutes before going down with the injury Wednesday. In his absence, more minutes will be available for Armoni Brooks, Garrison Mathews Eric Gordon, D.J. Augustin and other guards/wings.
Nov 24, 2021
Leaves with leg injury
Green won't return to Wednesday's game against the Bulls due to a leg injury, Adam Wexler of Sportstalk 790 Houston reports.
ANALYSIS
Green had 11 points (4-5 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds and one assist in 11 minutes before going down with the injury. He should be considered questionable for Saturday's matchup with Charlotte until his status is updated.
Nov 22, 2021
Struggles in another blowout loss
Green supplied nine points (2-9 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 5-6 FT) and two rebounds over 25 minutes during Monday's 108-90 loss to Boston.
ANALYSIS
It was a rough night all around for the Rockets, who shot just 37.3 percent as a team and went 11-of-42 from three-point range in a game that was out of control by the end of the third quarter. As a result, Green saw only 25 minutes -- a far cry from the 36 minutes he'd played in each of the previous two games. While Green has shown some encouraging signs thus far, it's been a relatively disappointing start for the No. 2 overall pick, who's still shooting well below 40 percent from the field and 30 percent from three.
Nov 16, 2021
Scores team-high 15 points in rout
Green posted 15 points (6-13 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds, an assist and a steal across 28 minutes in Monday's 136-102 loss to the Grizzlies.
ANALYSIS
Things continue to look bleak for the Rockets, who are now a pitiful 1-12 on the season. Green has come through to lead the team in scoring on a couple of occasions recently, but the team as a whole is struggling mightily. The coaching staff has hinted that some radical lineup changes could occur soon, so Green's production may be negatively affected.
Nov 10, 2021
Leads offense in loss
Green delivered 23 points (8-20 FG, 3-11 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds and two assists in 38 minutes during Wednesday's 112-104 loss to Detroit.
ANALYSIS
Green scored 20-plus points for the third time this season but continues to struggle with his efficiency. The rookie first-round pick's shot from deep has been especially problematic of late, as he's shooting just 6-for-29 on three-point attempts over the past four games.
Nov 6, 2021
Poor shooting continues vs. Denver
Green recorded nine points (3-9 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 3-5 FT), two rebounds, two assists and one steal in 31 minutes during Saturday's 95-94 loss to the Nuggets.
ANALYSIS
Saturday marked the third time this season the rookie has failed to convert a three-pointer, and it's the fourth time this season he's failed to score in double-digits. He entered the game shooting just 35.7 percent from the field, and his performance Saturday will bring that mark down even further. Green's potential is clear, but he's crushing fantasy managers' field-goal percentage and hasn't been great from the free-throw line either (76.6 percent before Saturday).
Nov 5, 2021
Struggles with shot in loss
Green tallied 16 points (3-14 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 8-8 FT), three rebounds and three assists over 32 minutes in a loss to Phoenix on Thursday.
ANALYSIS
The rookie has suffered through a number of poor shooting performances this season, so it seems apparent that fantasy managers who roster him are going to have to accept that he will often drag them down in the field-goal percentage category. Green did manage to make up his cold shooting somewhat with an 8-for-8 performance from the line Thursday, which was easily his best effort from the charity stripe thus far. Green's up-and-down campaign has included two games of 24-plus points as well as three contests in which he has failed to reach double-digit scoring.
Nov 3, 2021
Pops for 24 points in loss Tuesday
Green tallied 24 points (9-15 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five assists and two rebounds in 38 minutes during Tuesday's 119-117 loss to the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
Green came out red-hot against the Lakers, scoring 18 of his 24 points in the first half. He disappeared for the majority of the second half but nailed a pair of perimeter buckets down the stretch as the Rockets pressed for an unlikely victory. It's been an interesting start to Green's professional career but it's fair to say that his role is clear. As long as you can deal with the inconsistent scoring, Green is a clear must-roster asset across all formats.
Oct 29, 2021
Contributes to rebuilding effort
Green finished with 13 points (3-16 FG, 0-8 3Pt, 7-9 FT), three rebounds, three assists, a steal and a block in 30 minutes during the Rockets' 122-91 loss to the Jazz on Thursday night.
ANALYSIS
Ouch. The rookie and second-overall pick has misfired badly in back-to-back games, shooting just 7-for-32. The silver lining: He is unabashedly firing away. Seeing Green continue the volume shooting resonates confidence for his growth. The Rockets are the perfect environment to facilitate that growth, and his next opportunity will come Sunday against the Lakers.
Oct 24, 2021
Sets Rockets rookie record in loss
Green finished Sunday's loss to the Celtics with 30 points (11-18 FG, 8-10 3Pt), four rebounds, three assists, two blocks and a steal.
ANALYSIS
It was easily the best performance of the season for the No. 2 overall pick, who scored just nine points in each of his first two appearances heading into Sunday. Green's eight three-pointers set a new Rockets rookie record, and he fell just one shy of the NBA rookie record of nine, which is, of course, held by held by Rodrigue Beaubois and Yogi Ferrell. Green also threw down several thunderous dunks on his way to a team-high 30 points, providing a glimpse into why he's perhaps the highest-upside player in the 2021 Draft class. Green and the Rockets head into a three-game Week 2 that begins Tuesday at Dallas and also includes meetings with the Jazz (Thursday) and Lakers (Sunday).
Oct 21, 2021
Rough start to NBA career
Green finished Wednesday's blowout loss to Minnesota with nine points (4-14 FG, 1-6 3Pt), four rebounds, four assists and one steal.
ANALYSIS
The Rockets were blitzed early on and never recovered in a game that turned into a certified blowout by halftime. In his regular-season debut, Green finished as a minus-37 in 32 minutes of action, and he converted just one of his six three-point attempts. Nonetheless, Green remains one of the year's highest-upside rookies, and he should have a long leash to develop for the rebuilding Rockets.
Oct 15, 2021
Goes for 16 in finale
Green finished Friday's preseason game against the Spurs with 16 points (4-12 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 7-8 FT) and one assist.
ANALYSIS
Finishing out the preseason, the Rockets handled the game like somewhat of a dress rehearsal, as Green (32 minutes), Christian Wood (33) and Kevin Porter Jr. (33) all saw a full workload. The No. 2 overall pick has had an up-and-down preseason -- he's coming off of a seven-turnover effort against Toronto on Monday -- but he'll begin the regular season as a starter and is widely considered the favorite to lead all rookies in scoring. Whether Green will offer fantasy managers much beyond points and threes remains to be seen, however.
Oct 11, 2021
Poor outing during loss Monday
Green managed five points (2-6 FG, 1-5 3Pt), four rebounds and four assist during Monday's preseason loss to Toronto.
ANALYSIS
The rookie wasn't much of a factor during another preseason start, as Green converted just two field goals and turned the ball over seven times across 25 minutes of action. Green was coming off of a much better showing against Miami on Thursday, when he posted 20 points with four three-pointers and three steals in 28 minutes.
Oct 5, 2021
Scores 12 in preseason debut
Green provided 12 points (4-14 FG, 0-6 3Pt, 4-6 FT), six rebounds and two assists in 28 minutes during Tuesday's 120-116 preseason win over the Wizards.
ANALYSIS
The rookie was aggressive in finding his shot, though he wasn't efficient. Still, it's encouraging that he got to the free-throw line six times in 28 minutes.
Sep 27, 2021
Recovered from hamstring injury
Green said Monday that he's fully healthy following the hamstring injury that hindered him during Summer League, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.
ANALYSIS
The No. 2 overall pick downplayed the severity of the issue, which he said required two-to-three weeks of rehab before he felt 100 percent healthy. He'll begin training camp penciled into the starting lineup at one guard spot along Kevin Porter Jr. as the Rockets head into what will likely be another rebuilding season. Expectations are high for Green, who spent last season with the G League Ignite, and he joins Porter Jr. and Chrstian Wood as the keystones of Houston's future. Fantasy-wise, Green projects as more of a score-first guard, so points, three-pointers and free throws will likely be his most valuable categories early on.
Sep 14, 2021
Set for more opportunity
Green may be in line for a larger role this season after the Rockets announced that John Wall will not play in any games for the team, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
The No. 2 overall pick was already set to be a key contributor for the rebuilding Rockets, but with Wall now out of the picture, he'll join Kevin Porter Jr. and Christian Wood as the team's clear top three offensive options. Both Wood and Porter Jr. are high-usage options, so Green could open the year as the No. 3 of that trio, but he'll see action at point guard, shooting guard and small forward during what projects to be a high-minute rookie season. Green's fantasy profile will likely be shaded heavily toward scoring and three-pointers, but he's one of the handful of first-year players worth targeting with a later-round pick in fantasy leagues.
Aug 13, 2021
Will miss rest of Summer League
Green will miss the remainder of the Summer League due to a hamstring problem, according to Ben DuBose of Yahoo Sports.
ANALYSIS
The second pick in the 2021 NBA Draft has been one of the standout performers in the Summer League, averaging 20.3 points, 4.3 rebounds and 2.0 assists per game while shooting an impressive 51.4 percent from the field. The Rockets will be cautious with him and will attempt to have him fully healthy by the time training camp starts next September.
