Rockets' Jalen Green: Notches 36 points
Rotowire
Green had 36 points (11-22 FG, 7-13 3Pt, 7-7 FT), one rebound and two assists over 38 minutes during Monday's 106-101 victory over San Antonio.
Green's 36 points mark a new season best as the Rockets improved to 2-2. The guard is averaging 28.8 points per game, which would be a career-high mark, but his peripheral stats are lacking right now with 3.8 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 0.8 steals a night.

Rockets' Jalen Green: Leads Rockets with 28 points
Rotowire
Green accumulated 28 points (9-23 FG, 5-15 3Pt, 5-5 FT) and two rebounds in 35 minutes during Wednesday's 110-105 loss to the Hornets.
Green picked up where he left off last season, leading Houston with 28 points. Although his points production was more than adequate, the same cannot be said for the rest of his line. Inefficient shooting and a lack of peripheral stats are something he has been a victim of throughout his career. While he is absolutely worth rostering, managers should be aware of his flaws.
Green and the Rockets agreed to a three-year, $106 million extension Monday, ESPN's Shams Charania reports.
This will be a unique extension, as it includes a player option for the third season to increase Green's earning potential. The guard is coming off a stellar preseason and there have been a lot of positive reports coming out of Houston. He could be poised for a breakout campaign after averaging 22.8 points per game following the All-Star break in 2023-24.

Rotowire
Green posted 30 points (8-16 FG, 7-13 3Pt, 7-8 FT), two rebounds, two assists, a steal and a block across 27 minutes in Thursday's 129-107 preseason win over the Spurs.
Green has been leading the Rockets in scoring throughout the preseason, but he saved the best for last in this one, as he torched the Spurs time and time again. The star shooting guard seems more than ready for the regular-season opener against the Hornets on Wednesday, and he should play a prominent role in Houston's offensive scheme as a legit three-level scorer.

Rotowire
Green notched 19 points (7-15 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 3-5 FT), six rebounds and a steal across 23 minutes in Tuesday's 118-98 preseason win over the Pelicans.
Green seems ready to pick things right where he left them in the 2023-24 season, and based on what has happened in the preseason, the fourth-year guard is widely expected to operate as Houston's go-to player on offense in most games. Green averaged 22.8 points per game after the All-Star break in 2023-24, and he seems poised to average at least 20 points per game for the second time over the last three seasons.

Rotowire
Green delivered 21 points (7-14 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 3-3 FT), three rebounds and a block across 20 minutes in Monday's 122-113 preseason loss to the Jazz.
Coach Ime Udoka attempted to give the potential starters a solid run of minutes in the preseason opener, and Green made the most of it while leading the team in scoring. His role as one of the Rockets' primary offensive threats is not in danger after displaying tremendous growth in 2023-24, averaging 22.8 points per game after the All-Star break.

Rockets' Jalen Green: Struggles from field Thursday
Rotowire
Green finished with 13 points (4-12 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, seven assists and one steal across 30 minutes during Thursday's 133-110 loss to the Warriors.
The Rockets lost a third straight game, and while Green has been absolutely on fire over the last few weeks, he looked tired and ineffective in this game. One subpar performance is not going to erase all the impressive outings Green has posted in recent weeks, however, and he'll aim to bounce back when the Rockets take on the Heat on Friday. This was just the second time Green failed to reach the 15-point plateau since Feb. 25.

Rotowire
Green recorded 26 points (10-22 FG, 2-11 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds and six assists over 38 minutes during Tuesday's 113-106 loss to the Timberwolves.
Green had a rough night from beyond the arc Tuesday, but at least he bounced back from the 12-point effort he posted in the 125-107 loss to the Mavericks on Sunday. The Rockets might have dropped two in a row, but Green remains scorching hot on offense, averaging 30.8 points per game over his last 10 appearances. He should handle a heavy offensive workload against the Warriors on Thursday in a game that might decide their fate this season considering their position in the standings.

With each passing game, the argument to consider Green one of the hottest offensive players in The Association gets stronger and stronger. The star guard has been on an absolute tear in recent weeks and has played a prominent role in Houston's ongoing 11-game winning streak. He's scored at least 30 points in four of his last six outings while averaging 30.2 points, 6.6 rebounds and 4.1 assists per game during the Rockets' winning stretch.

Rockets' Jalen Green: Erupts for season-high 37
Rotowire
Green accumulated 37 points (15-23 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds and two assists across 37 minutes during Thursday's 135-119 win over the Wizards.
It was a season-best scoring performance from Green and his highest output in nearly a calendar year -- he dropped 40 on the Pelicans back on March 19, 2023. The third-year guard has topped 30 points three times in the last eight games, averaging 25.6 points, 4.9 boards, 3.5 threes, 3.3 assists and 1.1 steals over that stretch, and while consistency remains an issue for Green, the talent that made him the second overall pick in the 2021 Draft is still readily apparent.
Green accumulated 19 points (6-15 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 6-8 FT), two rebounds and three assists across 35 minutes during Sunday's 112-104 win over the Kings.
Green seems to have left a rough patch behind, as his scoring figures and shooting percentages have risen over the last few games. Through his last six appearances, Green is averaging 25.3 points per game while shooting 45.9 percent from the field. Both are an uptick compared to his season-long numbers of 18.4 points per game and 41.2 percent from the field.
