Jalen Green Last 10 Games
Jalen Green News
Houston Rockets guard Jalen Green (illness) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. He struggled during his last game, but it would be a shame if Green couldn't play in the season finale. His rookie season has been a bit of a rollercoaster, but the potential upside is certainly there. It's the regular season finale, so the Rockets are unlikely to send Green out there unless he's feeling 100 percent healthy. Josh Christopher would see significant minutes without Green and Kevin Porter Jr. would see a spike in usage.
Houston Rockets point/shooting guard Jalen Green continued to showcase his considerable scoring proficiency during Friday's defeat to the Kings, in which he dropped a career-best 33 points. While Green's efficiency left something to be desired (9-for-24), he went 6-for-14 from behind the arc and added eight rebounds on top of knocking down all nine free throw attempts. The 20-year-old has been on the periphery of many Rookie of the Year discussions, but he has averaged 16.6 PPG across 63 games this season, earning him season-long consideration in the vast majority of leagues. Green has now knocked down at least five triples in five straight outings, carrying an average of 28.6 PPG over that span into play Sunday vs. Minnesota.
Houston Rockets shooting guard Jalen Green (rest) and point guard Kevin Porter Jr. (thigh) have been cleared to play in Tuesday's game against the Lakers, but both will face a minutes cap of sorts. Houston is easing the 19-year-old Green back into action after nearly a month on the sidelines, while Porter will be making his first appearance since Dec. 3. With the heralded youngsters back on the floor, Armoni Brooks and Josh Christopher are likely to see their roles reduced significantly, bumping them from DFS appeal. While Green and Porter will have their minutes managed, they stand to benefit from L.A.'s league-leading pace rating, which stands to allow them to maximize their time on the floor.
Technically speaking, Houston Rockets shooting guard Jalen Green (rest) and point guard Kevin Porter Jr. (thigh) have been cleared to play in Monday's game against Charlotte. But that comes with a caveat: head coach Stephen Silas said that neither is likely to check into the game, as the Rockets are managing Green's workload and getting closer to a return for Porter. Green returned from a nearly one month absence Thursday and played 25 minutes, but with the team on the front end of a back-to-back, they will play it safe with their prized 19-year-old. Fantasy managers can anticipate him being back in the mix Tuesday vs. the Lakers. The same goes for Porter, who is expected to suit up for the first time since Dec. 3. The absence of the duo gives Armoni Brooks a considerable DFS ceiling Monday.
