Houston Rockets forward/center Jabari Smith Jr. netted 33 points with seven rebounds, two assists, one block, and three three-pointers over 31 minutes in Friday's 100-99 win over the Portland Trail Blazers. He shot 8-for-18 from the floor and was a busy 14-for-17 from the charity stripe. Smith secured 29 of his points during the second half and put a bow on it with a game-winning buzzer-beater from beyond the arc. The 2022 No. 3 overall pick was a huge disappointment in his rookie year, failing to impress on either end of the hardwood. Smith posted 12.8 points, 7.2 boards, and 1.5 threes on 40.8% shooting overall across 31 minutes per game in 2022-2023.

Houston Rockets forward/center Jabari Smith Jr. completed his first year in the NBA with a team-high 20 points in Sunday's 114-109 win over Washington. He pulled down five rebounds and swatted away one shot, while shooting 6-for-11 from the field, including 1-for-3 from deep, and 7-for-8 at the foul line. The third pick of last year's draft mostly struggled during his maiden season but greatly improved his performances over the final couple of months. Smith Jr. ended up averaging 12.8 points and 7.2 rebounds for the season, shooting a lowly 40.8 percent from the field.
