Fred VanVleet - Poor shooting display MondayVanVleet 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.
ImpactVanVleet 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.

Jalen Green - Remains hot on offenseGreen 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.
ImpactGreen 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.
