Amen Thompson Fantasy Stats

Houston Rockets guard/forward Amen Thompson (ankle) will play in Thursday's contest against the Utah Jazz. He was in danger of missing a second consecutive contest due to a left ankle sprain, but the team has upgraded his status from questionable to available. Thompson has made big strides in his development this season and is averaging nearly a double-double since the All-Star break with 15.7 points and 9.5 rebounds. With Thompson back, Tari Eason will likely have to settle for a bench role on Thursday, but he will still play a significant role in the rotation.

Houston Rockets guard/forward Amen Thompson (ankle) is listed as questionable on the injury report ahead of Thursday's game against the Utah Jazz. Thompson might miss a second consecutive contest due to a left ankle sprain. An injury to the same ankle sidelined Thompson for two weeks earlier this month, so the team is likely to be cautious with him and won't rush his return. Tari Eason impressed during Thompson's previous absence and will be a good fantasy option again if Thompson isn't cleared to play.

Houston Rockets guard /forward Amen Thompson (ankle) has been cleared to play ahead of Friday's game against the Miami Heat. Thompson is back in the mix following a six-game absence due to a sprained left ankle. Head coach Ime Udoka said Thompson won't have a minutes restriction despite missing a handful of games. Thompson will move immediately into the starting five which will shift Tari Eason back to the bench. Both Eason and Jabari Smith Jr. will see reduced roles, but should still offer fantasy value with the second unit.

Houston Rockets forward Amen Thompson (ankle) is considered probable on Friday and will likely take the floor against the Miami Heat. This marks his first game back after a six-game absence due to a left ankle sprain. The second-year wing has been a big part of the Rockets' success this year, with averages of 14.0 points, 8.3 rebounds, 3.6 assists, 1.3 steals, 1.3 blocks, and 2.1 turnovers per game. With Thompson back in the lineup, Tari Eason would likely move back to the bench.

Houston Rockets guard/forward Amen Thompson (ankle) suffered a left ankle sprain and will be sidelined for 10-to-14 days, according to ESPN's Shams Charania. The second-year wing underwent an MRI which didn't show any structural damage. Charania reports that Thompson will receive treatment and go through some rehab for the swelling in his ankle. This likely means some added minutes for a combination of Jabari Smith Jr., Cam Whitmore, and maybe even Reed Sheppard. Smith seems to have the most consistent role in the rotation right now, and he averages 11.6 points, 6.8 rebounds, and 1.6 threes per game in March.

Houston Rockets guard/forward Amen Thompson (ankle) exited Saturday's win over the New Orleans Pelicans. He narrowly missed a triple-double, amassing 15 points, 11 assists, and nine rebounds. Unfortunately, the 2023 No. 4 overall pick suffered an ankle injury late in the contest. Thompson, averaging 14.0 points, 8.3 boards, 2.6 assists, and 1.3 steals this season, has stepped up in the absence of Fred VanVleet (ankle). However, with Thompson observed leaving the arena with crutches and a walking boot, he'll likely miss time. He will undergo an MRI on Sunday. But while Thompson and VanVleet are off the floor, Jalen Green should see a bump in usage while serving as the primary option at the one. Aaron Holiday, who had 20 points on Saturday night, may also see more work, potentially even entering the starting lineup.

Houston Rockets guard/forward Amen Thompson (shoulder) will not suit up for Monday's clash against the Oklahoma City Thunder. The team initially listed Thompson questionable for the contest due to right shoulder soreness, and he has now been officially ruled out. Houston is currently battling several health issues, leaving Jalen Green as the only healthy player among regular starters. Depth pieces like Cam Whitmore, Jae'Sean Tate, and Aaron Holiday are expected to step up against the Thunder.

Houston Rockets guard/forward Amen Thompson (shoulder) drew a questionable tag for Monday's matchup against the Oklahoma City Thunder due to right shoulder soreness. The 22-year-old has seen a sizeable jump in his stats across the board this year despite a lower usage percentage from his rookie year (17.3% vs 18.5). In terms of Monday night's game, Thompson is one of four starters listed as either out or questionable, including Fred VanVleet (ankle), Alperen Sengun (back), and Dillon Brooks (knee). Jalen Green would likely lead the scoring efforts if they're all ruled out while Aaron Holiday, Cam Whitmore, and Reed Sheppard would all be in play for streaming options.

Houston Rockets guard/forward Amen Thompson stuffed the stat sheet in Monday's 114-112 victory over the Boston Celtics, recording a career-high 33 points along with nine rebounds, four assists, one steal, and one block. He capped off his big night by hitting the game-winning shot with 1.1 seconds left on the clock in the fourth quarter. It was a very efficient 33-point performance from Thompson, as he shot 13-for-19 from the field with a 1-for-2 record from downtown. Thompson's fantasy value has increased significantly since he became a regular in the starting lineup. He averages 18.3 points, 10.9 rebounds, 3.7 assists, 1.7 blocks, and 2.0 steals per game as a starter this season.

Houston Rockets guard/forward Amen Thompson (calf) has been upgraded from questionable to available on Monday and will play through the calf tightness that he was experiencing. Before he was forced to miss a game, Thompson registered 20 points, 10 rebounds, five assists, two steals, and one block against the Sacramento Kings on Thursday. He's a great start in any fantasy format but has especially excelled this year in category leagues with his defensive potential. Through 38 games, he's averaging 12.8 points, 7.8 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 1.3 steals, and 1.2 blocks per game.
