Jalen Green

Green chipped in 34 points (11-24 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 9-10 FT), four rebounds, five assists, one block and two steals in 38 minutes during Friday's 125-111 win over the Thunder.

Green has now scored at least 30 points four times over his last seven games. The 23-year-old shooting guard is one of the best scorers in the league when his shot is falling. That wasn't totally the case on Friday as Green benefitted greatly from a friendly whistle. He got to the foul line 10 times and made nine free throws, which inflated his scoring total. We'll see if Green can put up another big number Sunday against the Warriors.

The Rockets are without Dillon Brooks, who picked up his 16th technical foul of the season in Wednesday's win over the Jazz. Adams will fill his spot in the starting lineup as the Rockets match up with Oklahoma City's tandem of Chet Holmgren and Isaiah Hartenstein. Even with Adams receiving the starting nod, Tari Eason should play plenty off the bench.

After shooting 4-of-13 from the field and scoring nine points in Monday's loss to the Lakers, Green took advantage of an overmatched opponent and got untracked on Wednesday. He's scored 20 points or more in 10 of his last 12 outings, but the two exceptions have been poor. The good news for fantasy managers is that the highs have outweighed the lows, with Green providing top-75 value in eight- and nine-cat formats over the past three weeks. Houston's final two games of Week 22, Oklahoma City at home and Golden State on the road, will be far more challenging for Green and the Rockets.

The Rockets are without Fred VanVleet, who will not play due to a sore right ankle. Eason replaces him in the lineup, and this also shifts Thompson into the point guard role. The lineup change raises Thompson and Eason's fantasy ceilings.
