Top Rockets News

  • Rockets' Dillon Brooks: Goes for 20 points Wednesday

    Brooks posted 20 points (8-18 FG, 3-11 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, four assists, two blocks and one steal over 43 minutes during Wednesday's 132-126 overtime win over the Thunder.

    Brooks wasn't really efficient from three-point range, but he sill found a way to reach the 20-point mark while leaving his mark in other areas of the game as well. The rise of Jalen Green has taken some of Brooks' offensive touches away, but the veteran forward has still scored in double digits in all but one of his last nine appearances, averaging 13.0 points, 2.8 rebounds and 2.0 assists per game in that span.

  • Rockets' Amen Thompson: Records monster double-double

    Thompson had 25 points (10-18 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 5-6 FT), 15 rebounds, four assists and one steal in 39 minutes during Wednesday's 132-126 overtime win over the Thunder.

    Thompson moved to the starting lineup on March 12 and has looked productive, showing the ability to make an impact on both ends of the court. He has three double-doubles in his last eight starts, and he should remain a reliable two-way presence for an on-the-rise Rockets team. Thompson is averaging 15.4 points, 8.8 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 1.1 steals per game during Houston's ongoing 10-game winning streak.

  • Rockets' Jalen Green: Keeps sizzling streak alive

    Green recorded 37 points (14-24 FG, 7-11 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds, seven assists, one block and two steals across 46 minutes during Wednesday's 132-126 overtime win over the Thunder.

    Green has been one of the most productive players in the Western Conference over the last few weeks, and the numbers don't lie, as he's been a key cog in Houston's ongoing 10-game winning run. This was his seventh straight game with 25 or more points, and he's averaging 29.8 points, 6.4 rebounds, 3.9 assists and 1.1 steals per game during the Rockets' undefeated stretch. Green will aim to remain hot against the Jazz, in what promises to be a favorable matchup on paper, on Friday.

  • Rockets' Jabari Smith: Back in starting lineup

    Smith (suspension) is in the starting five for Wednesday's game versus the Thunder.

    After missing Houston's previous contest due to a suspension, Smith will replace Jock Landale in the starting lineup Wednesday. Smith is averaging 12.5 points, 6.9 rebounds and 1.4 assists in 28.0 minutes across his lat 10 appearances.

  • Rockets' Jock Landale: Returns to bench role

    Landale is not in the starting lineup to face the Thunder on Wednesday.

    Landale was in the starting lineup Monday against the Trail Blazers, posting 17 points (6-6 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 3-3 FT), nine rebounds, two assists and one block across 32 minutes. However, the veteran big man will move back to his regular bench role with Jabari Smith returning from a one-game suspension.

  • Rockets' Cam Whitmore: Nearing return

    Coach Ime Udoka said Whitmore (knee), who remains out Wednesday against the Thunder, is right on track with his three-week rehab timeline and is getting closer to a return, Kelly Iko of The Athletic reports.

    The red-hot Rockets have won nine straight and are vying for a spot in the Play-In Tournament, so Whitmore's potential return is noteworthy, though it's unclear if Alperen Sengun (ankle/knee) would be back if Houston makes a postseason run. Whitmore hasn't played since March 10 and is due back in early April, barring a setback. Before his absence, the rookie had played 20-plus minutes in seven of his last 10 appearances, averaging 12.6 points and 4.5 rebounds during that stretch.

  • Rockets' Fred VanVleet: Poor shooting display Monday

    VanVleet provided 15 points (5-18 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 3-3 FT), three rebounds, four assists, one block and two steals in 26 minutes during Monday's 110-92 victory over the Trail Blazers.

    VanVleet posted a solid all-around stat line in 26 minutes, as he found a way to contribute on both ends of the court, but he struggled in terms of efficiency with his shot. The veteran floor general has failed to surpass the 15-point mark in four of Houston's last five games, but that's also because Jalen Green has taken on a more prominent role as a scorer. Despite that cold stretch, VanVleet is averaging 18.8 points and 9.5 assists per game since the beginning of March.

  • Rockets' Jalen Green: Remains hot on offense

    Green posted 27 points (9-26 FG, 4-12 3Pt, 5-6 FT), six rebounds, three assists, one block and three steals over 40 minutes during Monday's 110-92 win over the Trail Blazers.

    Green couldn't replicate the 41-point performance he delivered against the Jazz on Saturday, but he extended his torrid stretch and scored over 25 points for the sixth consecutive game. Green is averaging 29.0 points per game during Houston's nine-game winning run.

  • Rockets' Jock Landale: Thrives in starting role Monday

    Landale racked up 17 points (6-6 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 3-3 FT), nine rebounds, two assists and one block across 32 minutes during Monday's 110-92 victory over Portland.

    Landale drew his first start of the season Monday due to the suspension of Jabari Smith, and there's no question the veteran big man made the most of the opportunity. He's been playing really well of late, scoring in double digits in five of his last seven outings, but he should return to a backup role ahead of Wednesday's game against the Thunder.

  • Rockets' Jock Landale: Enters starting lineup

    Landale is starting Monday's game against the Trail Blazers, Lachard Binkley of TheDreamShake.com reports.

    Landale will draw his first start of the season due to the absence of Jabari Smith (suspension). Landale is averaging 7.5 points, 4.4 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.2 blocks in 11 March appearances as the backup center.

  • Rockets' Jabari Smith: Suspended one game

    The NBA announced Sunday that Smith has received a one-game suspension due to his involvement in an altercation in the second quarter of Saturday's 147-119 win over the Jazz.

    Smith will serve the ban during Monday's game against the Trail Blazers. The second-year big man was on the receiving end of a punch from Utah's Kris Dunn with 11:55 remaining in the second quarter, and both players were assessed technical fouls and ejected from the game. Because he was deemed to have initiated the altercation, Dunn received a two-game suspension to Smith's one. While Smith is out Monday, Jeff Green and Jock Landale should absorb most of the minutes at center.

  • Rockets' Jeff Green: Scores 21 points off bench in win

    Green chipped in 21 points (7-14 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 3-3 FT), four rebounds, one assist and two blocks across 25 minutes during Saturday's 147-119 victory over Utah.

    Green had the chance of playing extra minutes since Jabari Smith was ejected in the first half, and the veteran forward took advantage of the opportunity to deliver a season-high mark in scoring. Green has now scored in double digits in three consecutive games, and he could be in line for a slight uptick in his playing time down the stretch, though it'd probably not be enough to produce a drastic boost in his fantasy upside.
