Jalen Green's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

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.
