Amen Thompson Fantasy Stats

Houston Rockets guard Amen Thompson (illness) will play on Saturday versus OKC. He's not feeling the best. While the 23-year-old will at least be available, he'll come off the bench. It's unknown how much action Thompson will see against the champs. Although he's still a must-start in season-long fantasy setups, DFS managers may want to pump the brakes. Reed Sheppard, averaging 13.4 points, 4.4 steals, 4.2 assists, and 1.0 blocks in five starts this season, will replace him in the rotation.

According to Danielle Lerner of the Houston Chronicle, the Houston Rockets have exercised the fourth-year team option on guard Amen Thompson's contract on Friday. The move keeps the 22-year-old in Houston through the 2026-27 season. Through four games this campaign, Thompson has averaged 14.5 points, 5.3 assists, 5.3 rebounds and 1.0 steals during 33.5 minutes per contest. A core piece of the Rockets' long-term plans, Thompson should remain a reliable fantasy contributor for years to come.

With Fred VanVleet (knee) expected to miss the 2025-26 season, the Houston Rockets will rely on a committee approach to handle point guard duties, with Amen Thompson taking on a key role. Thompson and Reed Sheppard are likely to see the most time initiating the offense, while head coach Ime Udoka also plans to lean on Alperen Sengun and Kevin Durant as secondary playmakers. That versatility gives Houston multiple options to keep the offense flowing, but Thompson's usage and development will be under the spotlight. The 22-year-old guard impressed last season, averaging 14.1 points, 8.2 rebounds, and 3.8 assists per game, and his ability to push the pace and distribute should make him a focal point in VanVleet's absence. Thompson's value is trending up heading into the season.

Houston Rockets guard/forward Amen Thompson had his fingerprints all over Wednesday's Game 5 victory over the Golden State Warriors, racking up 25 points, six rebounds, three assists, five steals, and three blocks. Thompson, who finished 8-for-12 shooting, played a key role in limiting the Warriors to 49 first-half points. The visitors improved in the second half, but Houston still picked up a comfortable 131-116 win. This was without a doubt Thompson's best performance of the series, and it's sure to be a confidence-booster for him ahead of another elimination game on Friday night. The 22-year-old has averaged 14.4 points, 6.4 rebounds, 3.6 assists, 1.0 blocks, and 1.6 steals in his first career postseason campaign.

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.
