Green recorded 26 points (10-20 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 1-1 FT), nine rebounds and one assist in 35 minutes during Friday's 116-107 victory over the Trail Blazers.
Green's shot heated back up after he shot a tepid 37.7 percent over his past eight games. His long-range shot also came back to life, as he converted his highest three-point total since drilling seven threes against Oklahoma City nine games ago.

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.

Rockets' Jalen Green: Goes for 26 points in loss
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.

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.

Green continues to play at a high level for the Rockets, and while he's never going to be an efficient scorer, there's no question he's taken steps in the right direction in that regard lately.

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.

Rotowire
Green recorded 27 points (11-19 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, five assists and two steals over 34 minutes during Friday's 123-107 victory over the Trail Blazers.

Rockets' Jalen Green: Explodes for 34 points in victory
Rotowire
Green had 34 points (12-23 FG, 6-12 3Pt, 4-4 FT), nine rebounds, four assists and two steals in 38 minutes during Saturday's 118-109 victory over Phoenix.
Green is going through the most productive stretch of his career, and while he still needs to do a lot of work in the efficiency department, that won't matter much as long as he can keep putting the ball in the basket the way he's done it over the Rockets' last few games. Green posted back-to-back games with 30 or more points for the second time this season, and he's averaging a solid 19.8 points per game since the league resumed following the All-Star break. However, he's also making just 38 percent of his shots in that span.

Rockets' Jalen Green: Explodes for 34 points in loss
Rotowire
Green supplied 34 points (10-28 FG, 7-17 3Pt, 7-7 FT), five rebounds, two assists and three steals across 39 minutes during Thursday's 110-105 loss to the Suns.
Green finished just two points shy of tying what would've been his best scoring mark of the campaign, but even if that wasn't the case, the third-year forward continues to make an impact as a scoring threat for Houston. This was one of his best performances of the campaign, but he's still shy of averaging 20.0 points per game, and he's also shooting a career-worst 40.4 percent from the field.

Rockets' Jalen Green: Available versus Suns
Rotowire
Green (illness) is available versus the Suns on Thursday, according to Rockets reporter Vanessa Richardson.
Green was a late addition to the injury report and was carrying a probable tag prior to this update, but he'll maintain his track record of zero games missed this season with this news.
Green recorded 10 points (3-14 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, two assists and one steal in 24 minutes during Thursday's 127-105 loss to the Pelicans.
Green had a rough shooting performance Thursday, but that shouldn't surprise anyone who has been following the Rockets this season, as Green is prone to have efficiency issues. Even though he's averaging 14.4 points per game since the beginning of February, he's also shot 37 percent from the field and a mere 17.4 percent from three-point range in that span.

Green closed with 26 points (10-22 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 4-7 FT), 14 rebounds, 10 assists and one steal across 37 minutes during Saturday's 122-113 loss to the Hawks.
Green was spectacular despite the loss, recording his first triple-double of the season. While his counting stats were fantastic, his percentages left a little to be desired, much like they have all season. Green has been on a tear of late, making him a prime sell-high candidate for anyone doubting the sustainability of his recent production.

Rockets' Jalen Green: Goes for 30 points Tuesday
Rotowire
Green chipped in 30 points (12-20 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three rebounds, one assist and two steals over 33 minutes during Tuesday's 132-129 loss to the Pacers.
Green is not known for being the most efficient shooter, but he made his presence felt during Tuesday's loss with one of his best performances of the entire campaign. He's been on an absolute tear of late after recording 30 or more points in four of his last six appearances, and while the lack of efficiency remains an issue in category-based leagues, Green is certainly going through his most productive stretch of the season.
Green produced 34 points (12-23 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 6-6 FT), 12 rebounds, seven assists and one steal over 41 minutes during Monday's 135-119 win over the Lakers.
Green has now compiled four 30-point games on the season, with two coming in his past three contests. The 21-year-old delivered an excellent blend of three-level scoring Monday while excelling as a facilitator and turning the ball over just once. His increased activity on the boards is an especially promising development; he's now grabbed 31 boards over his last three outings.

Rockets' Jalen Green: Season-high 36 points vs. Hornets
Rotowire
Green amassed 36 points (12-20 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 11-12 FT), nine rebounds, four assists and two steals across 28 minutes during Friday's 138-104 win over the Hornets.
Friday's performance was Green's highest scoring output since Feb. 8, 2023, when he scored 41 points against the Kings, and it was the first time the third-year guard has posted 30-plus points in a game this season. Green has scored in double digits in all but one game in January, though he continues to struggle from distance. He is shooting 26.3 percent from beyond the arc in January and just 13.2 percent on 6.3 attempts per game over his last six appearances.
