Top Amen Thompson News

  • Rockets' Amen Thompson: Another impressive showing

    Thompson accumulated 20 points (8-12 FG, 4-4 FT), 10 rebounds, five assists, one block and two steals in 41 minutes during Thursday's 132-127 loss to Sacramento.

    Thompson has been excellent since moving to a starting role due to the injury of Jabari Smith (finger), and he's been thriving regardless of the role he's asked to fill. His ability to fill the stat sheet makes him an even more valuable player across all fantasy formats, and he's an absolute diamond in category-based dynasty leagues. Thompson is averaging 15.6 points, 10.7 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 1.8 blocks and 1.7 steals per game over his last 10 outings.

  • Rockets' Amen Thompson: Massive stat line in narrow win

    Thompson amassed 19 points (7-15 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-7 FT), 13 rebounds, four assists, five blocks and two steals over 41 minutes during Monday's 120-118 victory over Memphis.

    Although it was teammate Jalen Green who stole the show with a game-high 42 points, Thompson put his fingerprints all over Monday's game while tallying his 10th double-double of the campaign and matching his season high of five swats. The 21-year-old former No. 3 overall pick continues to take a considerable leap in his second season, as he's averaging 15.6 points, 11.0 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 1.9 blocks, 1.4 steals and 0.4 three-pointers in 37.2 minutes over his last eight contests (seven starts). The versatile Thompson should continue starting for the Rockets as long as Jabari Smith (hand) remains on the shelf, bolstering the former's fantasy upside in the interim.

    Thompson notched 20 points (7-8 FG, 6-6 FT), 15 rebounds, five assists and three steals across 41 minutes during Tuesday's 135-112 victory over the Wizards.

    Thompson recorded his ninth double-double of the season while stuffing the stat sheet in a dominant outing.

  • Rockets' Amen Thompson: Explodes for massive double-double

    Thompson finished Sunday's 119-115 win over the Lakers with 23 points (11-19 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 1-4 FT), 16 rebounds, three assists and one steal in 41 minutes.

    Thompson got the start Sunday after serving a two-game suspension and delivered an impressive showing, establishing career-high marks in both points and rebounds. The second-year forward has been outstanding since being handed an expanded role due to the recent injuries of players such as Dillon Brooks and Jabari Smith (hand). Thompson averaged 15.2 points, 10.6 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.8 blocks per game over his last six outings, and with Smith expected to miss at least a month, Thompson should remain in the starting lineup moving forward.

    After Tyler Herro leaned into Thompson on Sunday in the fourth quarter of the Heat's 104-100 win, Thompson grabbed Herro by the jersey and threw him to the floor, resulting in a multi-player altercation. Thompson, Herro, Terry Rozier and Jalen Green were all ejected from the game, but only Thompson and Rozier received suspensions, with the latter forced to miss only one game. Thompson's next chance to suit up will come Sunday against the Lakers. In his absence, Cam Whitmore could see more playing time.

  • Rockets' Amen Thompson: Coming off bench Sunday

    Thompson is not in the Rockets' starting lineup against the Heat on Sunday, Danielle Lerner of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    Thompson started in the Rockets' last three games due to the absence of Dillon Brooks (ankle). Over that span, Thompson averaged 16.0 points, 10.7 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 3.0 blocks and 1.0 steals over 36.0 minutes per contest.

  • Rockets' Amen Thompson: Double-double in Friday's loss

    Thompson logged 20 points (9-12 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 11 rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal over 39 minutes during Friday's 113-112 loss to the Timberwolves.

    Making his third straight start in place of Dillon Brooks (ankle), Thompson recorded his seventh double-double of the season. He's pulled down double-digit boards in all three of his recent starts, averaging 16.0 points, 10.7 rebounds, 3.0 blocks, 2.3 assists and 1.0 steals while shooting 58.3 percent from the floor. Brooks likely won't be sidelined much longer, but Thompson's outstanding production in the veteran's place should force coach J.B. Bickerstaff to at least consider keeping the fourth overall pick in the 2023 NBA Draft in the starting five.

  • Rockets' Amen Thompson: Another great defensive effort

    Thompson recorded nine points (4-8 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 10 rebounds, three assists, five blocks and one steal in 31 minutes during Thursday's 128-111 win over New Orleans.

    With Dillon Brooks (ankle) sidelined, Thompson got his second consecutive start. The sophomore continues to thrive when given starting responsibilities, averaging 15.8 points, 9.3 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 3.3 blocks and 1.8 steals across 234.0 minutes. Thompson's role fluctuates more than fantasy managers would like, but he's worth rostering in most formats given his upside.

  • Rockets' Amen Thompson: Fills stat sheet in spot start

    Thompson notched 19 points (8-16 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), 11 rebounds, three assists, three blocks and one steal across 38 minutes during Monday's 114-101 win over the Hornets.

    Thompson got the start at power forward due to the absence of Dillon Brooks (ankle), and the second-year forward did an excellent job of filling out the stat sheet while leaving his mark on both ends of the court. Thompson's fantasy upside will be strictly tied to Brooks' availability, but it's undeniable that he's shown promise when given enough minutes. Across three starts this season, Thompson is averaging 18.0 points, 9.0 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 2.7 blocks and 2.0 steals per game.

    Thompson scored a team-high 19 points, tallying double-digits for the fourth straight game. Despite continuing to come off the bench, Thompson has been a meaningful contributor, averaging 12.1 points, 7.0 rebounds and 2.1 combined steals and blocks in 27.1 minutes per game. Although it would likely take an injury to Fred VanVleet for Thompson to step into a starting role, he should continue to be a pivotal piece on a team exceeding all expectations thus far.
