Rockets' Amen Thompson: Productive in spot start

Thompson closed Monday's 107-92 victory over the Wizards with 13 points (4-8 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 5-8 FT), eight rebounds, one assist, four blocks and four steals over 28 minutes.

Thompson started at point guard due to the absence of Fred VanVleet (foot) and was productive across the board. Even though he finished with only one assist, as Alperen Sengun took on a bigger role in the playmaking department, Thompson did enough to deliver a strong fantasy showing, particularly on the defensive end. Expect Thompson to remain in the starting lineup as long as VanVleet remains sidelined.
