Houston Rockets DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Houston Rockets guard Jalen Green (illness) is listed as questionable for Tuesday night's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Green has been on the injury report for the past week with an illness but it hasn't caused him to miss any games. Given it's been nearly a week, the feeling around this questionable tag is that it's more precautionary. The 22-year-old has averaged 18.7 PPG this season while shooting just 30.7% from three. Green has thrived in the right matchups but has been underwhelming against tougher matchups. With Minnesota generally being a tougher defensive matchup for guards fantasy managers should temper their expectations for Green.

Houston Rockets guard Jalen Green (illness) is available ahead of Wednesday's game against the Indiana Pacers. Green was listed as questionable coming into this game due to an illness, but he'll continue to play as he has yet to miss a game this season. The 22-year-old figures to resume his role in the starting five for Wednesday's game. Green is averaging 19.7 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 2.7 assists across 32 minutes per game this season. Fantasy managers should make sure to get Green back in their lineups ahead of tip-off.

Houston Rockets guard Jalen Green (illness) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Indiana Pacers, leaving his availability uncertain. The 22-year-old has had an up-and-down season, averaging 19.7 points per game and playing in every game thus far. In his most recent contest, he came close to a double-double with 21 points and 9 rebounds against the Milwaukee Bucks. Fantasy managers should check for updates later Wednesday to see if Green suits up. If he's unable to play, Reed Sheppard and Aaron Holiday could take on more responsibility in the Houston backcourt.

Houston Rockets point guard Fred VanVleet (hamstring) is considered questionable for Wednesday's matchup against the Clippers. He continues to deal with a hamstring issue and might be forced to sit out a second consecutive game. VanVleet's absence could result in another busy night for Amen Thompson, who replaced him in the starting unit Monday versus Washington. Thompson had his fingerprints all over the game, finishing a 107-92 victory with 13 points, eight rebounds, one assist, four steals, and four blocks. Aaron Holiday and Reed Sheppard saw extra minutes off the bench but didn't do much.

Houston Rockets center Steven Adams (knee) is on the injury report as questionable ahead of Wednesday's action against the Clippers. The veteran big man missed the entire 2023-24 campaign with a knee injury and hasn't been used much this season. Adams has made five appearances, logging 13.6 minutes per game. He hasn't played in two consecutive games the entire month, which could be a sign that Adams will not be available on Wednesday. He had two points and seven rebounds in the last game against Washington on Monday. Adams' absence would allow Jock Landale (shoulder) to eat up more minutes, but the Houston big men lack fantasy appeal as long as Alperen Sengun is in the lineup.
