Ends rough shooting stretch Green produced 22 points (9-17 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds, one assist and one steal across 30 minutes in Wednesday's 109-101 loss to the Clippers.

Impact Though the Rockets dropped their fifth game in a row, Green at least rediscovered his shooting touch after a rough four-game stretch. In those prior four contests, Green averaged 13.0 points while shooting 24.1 percent from the field and 61.5 percent from the free-throw line. Green has yet to build on the improved efficiency he showed toward the end of his rookie season, but he's bound to take a step forward from the 48 percent true shooting rate he's turned in through the first nine games of 2022-23. Fantasy managers should continue to exercise patience with the second-year guard.

Struggles from field in loss Green finished Sunday's 124-109 loss to Phoenix with 15 points (5-18 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 3-4 FT), one rebound, two assists and one steal in 31 minutes.

Impact Green needed 18 shots just to score 15 points, and to make things even worse, he didn't record major contributions in other categories to salvage his fantasy outing. The second-year guard has been trending in the wrong direction of late, though, averaging just 14.3 points and shooting 26.3 percent from the field across his last three outings.

Third-year option picked up The Rockets exercised Green's $9.89 million team option for the 2023-24 season Sunday.

Impact Green has had a prominent role for the Rockets early in his professional career, and it's not surprising to see the team pick up his third-year option. Over the first six matchups of the 2022-23 season, he's averaged 20.7 points, 5.0 points and 2.3 assists in 33.7 minutes per game.

Run of production continues Green closed Monday's 114-108 victory over the Jazz with 25 points (9-16 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 3-3 FT), three rebounds and three assists across 36 minutes.

Impact Although Kevin Porter took sway the crown as the team's top scorer in Houston's first win, Green put up another excellent line. His 16 shot attempts marked his fewest so far this season, but he made up for it by sinking them at a 56.3 percent clip.

Leads Rockets in scoring again Green ended with 22 points (6-19 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 6-6 FT), four rebounds, two assists and one steal across 32 minutes during Saturday's 125-105 loss to the Bucks.

Impact Though Green paced Houston in scoring for the second straight game, he had trouble getting his shot to fall, especially from inside the arc. He shot well from three-point range (4-for-7) but went just 2-for-12 on two-point attempts. Green also posted modest complementary stats, so this wasn't a huge fantasy performance. He's shooting 43.3 percent from the field on the season while averaging 23.7 points, 4.7 boards, 2.3 dimes, 3.0 three-pointers and 1.0 steals.

Carries Rockets in defeat Green supplied 33 points (13-21 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT), five rebounds, two assists and one steal in 35 minutes during Friday's 129-122 loss to the Grizzlies.

Impact Green posted underwhelming numbers in the season opener with 16 points across 20 shots, but he bounced back admirably here and carried the team despite the loss, as Green couldn't outplay Ja Morant in a duel between two of the most exciting young guards in The Association. While Green should be prone to having a few days off from time to time, his role as Houston's main offensive threat shouldn't be under question.

Records 16 points in loss Green notched 16 points (7-20 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 1-1 FT), five rebounds, three assists, one block and a steal over 32 minutes during Wednesday's loss to the Hawks.

Impact Green scored seven of his 16 points in the first quarter on 3-of-7 shooting from the field while also turning it over twice in the period. He knocked down only one shot in the second quarter, a three-pointer which came off an assist from Bruno Fernando, while also grabbing up four rebounds and two assists before halftime. The Houston guard followed that up with six second-half points and failed to knock down any of his four three-point attempts over the final two quarters.

Explodes for game-high 33 points Green amassed 33 points (10-15 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 9-9 FT), three assists, one rebound and one steal in 29 minutes during Friday's preseason win over the Pacers.

Impact Green caught fire in the victory, ending his preseason with a bang. After a strong end to his rookie campaign, Green comes into his sophomore season with a decent amount of hype. Managers wishing to acquire his services will have to reach into the fifth round of many drafts. However, do remember that his peripheral production remains questionable, adding a small element of risk to his upside.

Blasts off for 25 preseason points Green recorded 25 points (7-18 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 6-6 FT), five assists, four rebounds and one steal over 28 minutes Monday in a loss to Miami.

Impact Green led the Rockets in scoring in the exhibition game, with all but two of his field goals coming from beyond the arc. He scored 23 points in his previous preseason contest Friday and outdid himself by two points in Monday's loss. Green has combined for nine triples over his past two preseason games after averaging 2.3 three-pointers per contest as a rookie last season.
