Rockets' Fred VanVleet: Steps up with 23 points Saturday
VanVleet closed Saturday's 117-114 win over Chicago with 23 points (8-20 FG, 5-14 3Pt, 2-4 FT), four rebounds, seven assists and one block over 35 minutes.
After seeing a limited workload in his first two games back from a right ankle sprain, VanVleet saw his usual minutes Saturday and responded by scoring at least 20 points with five or more made three-pointers for the first time since Jan. 25. The veteran point guard has seen his usage and numbers decline in 2024-25 even when healthy. but the 31-year-old remains a key piece of Houston's backcourt.

Rockets' Jalen Green: Leading scorer Saturday
Green registered 28 points (11-25 FG, 5-13 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six rebounds, three assists and one block over 38 minutes during Saturday's 117-114 win over the Bulls.
The fourth-year guard led all scorers as he topped 20 points for the third straight game. Green fell into a bit of a shooting slump earlier in March, but he's still drained multiple three-pointers in seven straight contests, averaging 18.6 points, 6.0 boards, 4.7 assists, 3.0 threes and 1.0 steals during that span.

Rockets' Alperen Sengun: Big double-double in win
Sengun ended Saturday's 117-114 victory over the Bulls with 24 points (9-18 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 6-8 FT), 15 rebounds, four assists, two blocks and two steals across 37 minutes.
The double-double was his 39th of the season and third in the last four games, and Sengun appears to be fully recovered from the back issue that may have hampered his rebounding earlier in the month. During that four-game stretch, the fourth-year center has averaged 18.5 points, 12.0 boards, 4.8 assists, 1.0 steals and 0.8 blocks while shooting 56.0 percent from the floor.

Rockets' Jabari Smith: Back in starting role
Smith is in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Bulls, Lachard Binkley of SI.com reports.
The Rockets will be without Tari Eason due to left lower leg injury management, so Smith will be promoted to the starting lineup as a result. Smith was a starter in the first months of the season but has returned to the bench after recovering from a hand injury. He's averaging 11.8 points, 6.6 rebounds and 0.9 blocks per game in a starting role this season.

Eason is out for Saturday's game versus the Bulls due to left lower leg injury management.
Eason will miss the second leg of Saturday's back-to-back after starting in Houston's previous five outings. Jabari Smith, Cam Whitmore and Jae'Sean Tate are candidates to receive increased playing time in his absence. Eason's next chance to suit up is Monday's matchup with Philadelphia.

Rockets' Tari Eason: Season-high 30 points in easy win
Eason ended with 30 points (11-15 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 6-6 FT), eight rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal over 31 minutes during Friday's 133-96 victory over the Mavericks.
On top of filling the box score, Eason set a new season-high scoring output Friday to lead the Rockets. Eason has averaged 15.2 points, 6.2 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 1.3 steals, 1.0 blocks and 1.7 three-pointers in 28.1 minutes through his last nine games. Although the 2022 first-rounder has regularly sat out one leg of Houston's back-to-back sets during the second half of the season, Eason should remain a strong source of defensive stats when available.

Rockets' Jock Landale: Sees garbage-time run in rout
Landale posted six points (3-4 FG), five rebounds and one steal over 23 minutes during Friday's 133-96 win over Dallas.
Landale saw some extra playing time while playing the entire fourth quarter during Friday's easy win, but it was still just a pedestrian performance off the bench. Over his last eight appearances, Landale has averaged a mere 3.0 points, 2.3 rebounds and 0.4 assists in 11.1 minutes. The 29-year-old big man should continue carrying minimal fantasy appeal as long as Alperen Sengun is healthy.

Rockets' Jalen Green: Narrowly misses double-double
Green logged 23 points (9-19 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 1-2 FT), nine rebounds, five assists, two blocks and one steal in 32 minutes during Friday's 133-96 victory over the Mavericks.
It was full stat line for Green, who fell just one rebound shy of what would have been his third double-double of the season. The star guard has averaged 20.8 points, 5.6 rebounds, 4.8 assists, 1.0 steals and 3.3 three-pointers in 33.0 minutes over 12 games since the All-Star break, scoring in double figures in all but one of those appearances.

Rockets' Jalen Green: Pours in 29 points
Green closed Wednesday's 111-104 victory over the Suns with 29 points (8-16 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 10-11 FT), seven rebounds, four assists and three steals over 37 minutes.
This was Green's 13th game of the campaign with at least 29 points, and his fifth game with at least three steals. With 66 games under his belt, Green holds averages of 21.1 points, 4.5 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 0.9 steals and 2.9 three-pointers.

Rockets' Tari Eason: Double-doubles in win
Eason ended Wednesday's 111-104 victory over the Suns with 15 points (6-13 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 10 rebounds, one assist, two blocks and one steal across 26 minutes.
Eason recorded his fifth double-double of the season despite a modest workload of 26 minutes. The Rockets have a back-to-back set coming up Friday against Dallas and Saturday against Chicago, so with how cautious the Rockets have been with him all season, a maintenance day could be on the table.

Rockets' Fred VanVleet: Limited output in return
VanVleet (ankle) totaled 10 points (4-9 FG, 2-6 3Pt), four assists, three steals and two rebounds across 28 minutes in Wednesday's 111-104 win over Phoenix.
VanVleet, who had missed 15 of the Rockets' last 16 games due to a right ankle strain, saw a healthy workload in his return to action. With Amen Thompson (ankle) likely to miss at least another week, VanVleet could see a bump in his usage rate in future contests as Houston's clear top playmaker out of the backcourt.

Rockets' Steven Adams: Ejected Wednesday
Adams has been ejected from Wednesday's game against the Suns after getting into a physical altercation with Mason Plumlee, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.
Adams and Plumlee locked arms after a missed shot and did not separate, resulting in a shove by Plumlee before Adams dragged them both to the floor. Adams logged one point (0-1 FG, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, and one assist in 11 minutes before the ejection. Look for Jock Landale and Jeff Green to see more minutes behind Alperen Sengun in the second half. Adams should be back in action Friday against Dallas.

Rockets' Fred VanVleet: Cleared to return Wednesday
VanVleet (ankle) is available and starting in Wednesday's game against Phoenix, Danielle Lerner of the Houston Chronicle reports.
VanVleet has missed 15 of the Rockets' last 16 games due to a right ankle injury, but he has progressed enough in his recovery to return to action Wednesday, though he could operate under a minutes restriction. VanVleet's return will shift Jalen Green back to the two, while Jabari Smith moves to a bench role. VanVleet has played in just two games since Feb. 1, and he averaged 13.9 points, 5.6 assists, 2.7 rebounds and 2.1 steals over 37.5 minutes per game in the month of January.
