Houston Rockets guard Jalen Green (illness) is available Thursday against the Suns. Green has yet to miss a game this season. However, he has struggled in recent weeks. The 22-year-old has been used sparingly for Houston as he hasn't been the team's six-man lately. In 58 games, the guard logs 30.3 minutes and averages 17.1 points, 4.8 rebounds, and 3.4 assists per contest.

Houston Rockets guard Jalen Green (illness) is in danger of missing his first game of the season after the team added him to the injury report with a questionable tag ahead of Thursday's matchup against Phoenix. Green has gone through a few really rough weeks, and it would be another blow for him if he's sidelined on Thursday. Veteran Aaron Holiday is in line to benefit from Green's absence, while youngsters Amen Thompson and Cam Whitmore could also get more opportunities to impress. The latter two are definitely the better fantasy options for Thursday's slate.

Houston Rockets head coach Ime Udoka says guard Jalen Green (illness) is available to play on Wednesday versus the Portland Trail Blazers. There was optimism Green would be able to suit up after participating in Wednesday morning's shootaround despite dealing with a non-COVID illness, and he is ready to roll for game action. The 2021 No. 2 overall pick ranks outside the top 200 in category leagues but is at least supplying value around the top 100 in points formats on averages of 17.4 points, 4.6 rebounds, 3.2 assists, and 2.0 treys over 42 games in his third season for the Rockets. Green hopes this plum matchup against a 12-31 Blazers squad can spark a hot streak, but a 219.5-point implied total is the eight-game slate's second-lowest figure.

Houston Rockets guard Jalen Green (illness), who is currently listed as questionable for Wednesday's tilt versus the Portland Trail Blazers, was at the morning shootaround ahead of play. It bodes well for Green's ability to suit up on Wednesday, as he is dealing with an illness. The 23-year-old offensive-minded guard just hasn't been able to make the jump in other areas of his arsenal in Year 3, making him a points-league-specific fantasy asset with averages of 17.4 points, 4.6 rebounds, 3.2 assists, and 2.0 triples over 42 games. Green's status could come down to a game-time decision based on pregame warmups closer to Wednesday's tip-off.

Houston Rockets guard Jalen Green (illness) is listed as questionable for the team's game against the Portland Trail Blazers on Wednesday. The former second-overall pick missed Tuesday's practice, and his game status remains uncertain. Green, who has not missed a game all season, might be replaced in the starting lineup by rookie Amen Thompson, who started the last game when Fred VanVleet was absent. The 21-year-old is averaging 17 points and four rebounds in 30 minutes of play per game.

Houston Rockets guard Jalen Green (toe) is not going to play in Wednesday's preseason game against the San Antonio Spurs. Green is hobbled by a toenail problem, which at least doesn't sound to be a significant issue going forward. After missing Monday's exhibition, the former No. 2 overall pick will set his sights toward getting right for Friday's finale versus the Miami Heat. The 21-year-old three-level scorer figures to be ready to roll for Oct. 25's opener against the Orlando Magic. Green possesses one of fantasy's starkest contrasts in ranking between category and points leagues, so his seventh-round ADP may be more indicative of his value outside of 9-cat formats. Veteran swingman Reggie Bullock is a candidate to pick up Wednesday's nominal start at the two, while rookies Amen Thompson and Cam Whitmore look to make impressions in heightened roles.

Houston Rockets guard Jalen Green hasn't been slacking off in the summer and has impressed the team with his work. "This summer, he committed himself to growth," The Athletic's Kelly Iko wrote about Green. "Team sources said the staff was particularly pleased with the young guard's conditioning and fitness level, especially in early August when players are still in the midst of vacationing. He's trained in California with other NBA players, sessions which head coach Ime Udoka has frequented. Green arrived at Team USA camp stronger, fitter and most importantly, smarter. Word from Vegas was he picked up the system quickly, was extremely coachable and was an eager learner." Green has enjoyed two promising years in the NBA, and he appears ready to take another step forward in 2023-24.

It's a crazy time of year around the National Basketball Association. Not long after the Denver Nuggets captured the franchise's first championship, French big manVictor Wembanyama was the top pick of the 2023 Draft.While new talent entering the league is all well and good, nothing turns the NBA upside down quite like the beginning of free agency. Since June 30, many notable players have signed with new teams. There were also more than a few significant trades. In either case, at least a handful of clubs will look very different (for the better?) come training camp. Let's take a look at some of the biggest names on the move and how they might affect the NBA landscape this season. 

Fred VanVleet - Houston Rockets

The Rockets entered the 2022-23 campaign as the second-youngest team in the National Basketball Association, and it showed. The club finished with 22 wins and 60 losses, with the Pistons being the only team with a worse record. As a result, the front office made a point to shake things up after the exhaustingly long year came to a close.The overhaul began when Stephen Silas, winning just 59 of his 236 games in Houston, was relieved of his head coaching duties. In his place, Ime Udoka, who helped guide the Celtics to an NBA Finals appearance in his first season, took the reigns. While Udoka's tenure in Boston didn't end on a positive note, he's still regarded as one of the sharpest minds in the league, even by those who lost respect for him on a personal level.https://twitter.com/ShamsCharania/status/1650612243661242369?s=20While having a knowledgeable head coach will help accelerate the growth of an up-and-coming squad, the Rockets needed someone to facilitate things on the floor. With Houston having plenty of cap space entering the offseason, the team signed ... [More]

Houston Rockets guard Jalen Green collected his 12th 30-point game of the season as he led the upset effort over the Nuggets on Tuesday night. The second-year combo guard finished the game with 32 points, six rebounds, four assists, and one steal on 12-for-27 shooting from the floor and 4-for-8 from deep. Green still needs a little more consistency to be regarded as a top fantasy asset, especially while his current nine-category value is all the way down at 197. He remains at a decent value for those in dynasty leagues.

Houston Rockets guard Jalen Green (thigh) is available for Monday's game against the Golden State Warriors. The young guard was considered questionable earlier in the day due to a left thigh contusion. It appears Green is fine and he'll look to build off his 40-point performance on Sunday. The Warriors have held Green to a total of 29 points over their last two matchups. Despite that, fantasy managers should feel fine about plugging Green into their lineups on Monday.

Houston Rockets guard Jalen Green (thigh) is considered questionable for Monday's game against the Golden State Warriors. He hasn't missed a game in nearly a month and is coming off a 40-point performance on Sunday. Possibly, this is more of a rest thing than a real injury for Green. Regardless, fantasy managers will need to check back closer to game time for another update on his status. Josh Christopher and TyTy Washington Jr. would likely see more minutes if Green is forced to sit out.

Houston Rockets shooting guard Jalen Green had it going on all night against New Orleans on Sunday and finished a 117-107 loss with a game-high 40 points on 11-for-22 shooting. He was 4-for-9 from downtown and also did a bunch of damage at the foul line, sinking all 14 of his attempts. Green completed his line with four rebounds, one assist and one steal in 39 minutes. The 21-year-old can be very inconsistent with his performances, but he's on a good run to close out the season, averaging 23.4 points per game with 3.6 rebounds and 3.2 assists.

Houston Rockets guard Jalen Green (groin) was originally listed as doubtful for Friday's contest against the Golden State Warriors with a groin strain. According to the injury report, he's officially been downgraded to out ahead of tipoff. The Rockets still don't have much to play for so fantasy managers can expect them to play it safe on most occasions. Since Green and Kevin Porter Jr. (foot) are both out, Kenyon Martin Jr. and Josh Christopher will see some more usage but the former would be the safer streaming option if needed.

Houston Rockets guard Jalen Green (groin) is considered doubtful for Friday's game against the Golden State Warriors. The young guard exited early last Wednesday due to a strained left groin. It appears he's still dealing with the injury because he missed Wednesday's practice because of the injury. The Rockets will likely use a committee approach to fill the void if Green is forced to miss time. TyTy Washington Jr., Josh Christopher and Tari Eason should all benefit if Green sits out on Friday.

Houston Rockets guard Jalen Green (groin) is expected to miss some time after he exited Wednesday's matchup against OKC. Fortunately, MRI results showed that the 21-year-old suffered a groin strain, which was better news than the team had anticipated. Green has played well during the 2022-23 campaign, averaging a team-high 21.8 points. There should be an update on his health before the Rockets return from the All-Star break on February 24 in Golden State. However, fantasy managers should expect to be without him for the foreseeable future. As a result, Josh Christopher and TyTy Washington Jr. may both see an increase in fantasy production until Green returns.

Houston Rockets shooting guard Jalen Green couldn't complete Wednesday's game against Oklahoma City due to a groin strain. He logged only 16 minutes in the game and shot 3-for-10 from the field en route to 14 points, two rebounds, two assists and one block. Green filled the stat sheet nicely in limited minutes and it could've been a big night for him if he hadn't gotten injured. Green is now set to undergo an MRI to determine the full extent of the injury. If it's only a minor issue, Green might not miss any games, as the Rockets are off until Feb. 24 and Green will have a full week to recover.

Houston Rockets guard Jalen Green (groin) was forced to exit early during Wednesday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. The young guard suffered a strained groin during the second quarter. He limped back to the locker room and won't return to this contest. Green will finish the night with 14 points, two rebounds, and two assists in 16 minutes of action. TyTy Washington Jr. started in the second half of Wednesday's game. Also, Tari Eason should see a bigger role without Green available. Both players should have expanded roles if Green is forced to miss more time because of this injury.

Houston Rockets guard Jalen Green (calf) remains out Wednesday against the Oklahoma City Thunder, but is nearing his return to the court. Green is reportedly expected back either Friday or Saturday this week after missing two games from a calf injury. Daishen Nix and Eric Gordon should pick up some more usage again Wednesday with Green out, but Nix will likely move back to the bench once Green returns.

Houston Rockets guard Jalen Green (calf) missed each practice since the team's win on Saturday and has now officially been ruled out ahead of their Wednesday night contest against the Oklahoma City Thunder. This doesn't come as a big surprise since Green was unable to practice with the team on Monday and Tuesday. The 20-year-old will miss at least two games due to this calf injury now, but it seems as though it shouldn't hold him out for too much longer. In the meantime, Tari Eason, Daishen Nix, and Eric Gordon will continue to get more time with Kevin Porter Jr. (foot) sidelined as well.

Houston Rockets guard Jalen Green (calf) has now missed both practices leading up to the team's next game on Wednesday against the Oklahoma City Thunder. The second-year combo guard has missed just one game so due to a calf contusion but is in danger of missing his second. The fact that he was unable to practice either day and hasn't improved throughout three days off is concerning. If he can't suit up, Daishen Nix would likely move into the starting lineup but he would be a risky streaming option.
