Houston Rockets guard Jalen Green has traded to the Phoenix Suns as part of a blockbuster trade on Sunday. The Rockets will trade Green, Dillon Brooks, the 10th overall pick in 2025, and five second-round picks in exchange for Kevin Durant. This is a great move for the Suns to acquire a young guard in Green and a handful of picks to restock their draft capital. The biggest problem is that the Suns still have Devin Booker and Bradley Beal on their roster. Last season, Green averaged 21 points, 4.6 rebounds, and 3.4 assists with the Rockets. He was the primary scoring option, but is no longer going to be that in Phoenix. His production will likely go down in Phoenix, but maybe less shots will help with his inefficiency problems. This move will probably decrease his usage, but Green will still find a way to be a valuable asset.

Houston Rockets guard Jalen Green led all scorers with 38 points on 13-for-25 shooting on Wednesday against the Golden State Warriors, helping the team tie the series at one with a 109-94 victory. The 23-year-old had a rough seven-point outing in his postseason debut on Sunday but looked like a completely different player in Game 2, hitting 8-for-18 from outside and completing his work with four rebounds, six assists, and three steals. Green tied a franchise record with eight triples made in a postseason game and became the youngest Rocket in history with 35-plus points in the playoffs. Houston will hope that this marks the end of Green's offensive slump, which included three regular-season games.

According to Adam Spolane of Sports Radio 610 Houston, Houston Rockets guardJalen Green(knee) is available to suit up against the Washington Wizards on Tuesday. Green will be in the starting lineup despite having a right knee contusion. The 22-year-old will likely not have any restrictions placed on him during the contest and could be a solid fantasy option as he's averaging 20.0 points per game.

Houston Rockets guard Jalen Green has started 2025 red hot, but his run of success could come to a screeching halt on Tuesday after he was listed on the injury report as questionable with a right knee contusion. Green has averaged 27.3 points, 4.7 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 1.0 blocks, and 35.3 minutes per game in his last three games. On Sunday against the Lakers, Green dropped 33 points in the Rockets' four-point win but also apparently picked up this knee injury. Green has played every one of the Rockets' 35 games this season, but if he's sidelined on Tuesday, Fred VanVleet would get much more usage while Cam Whitmore and Amen Thompson could also be lined up for more work as well. In such a favorable matchup, Green's availability will be a very important storyline to follow for Tuesday's slate.

Houston Rockets guard Jalen Green (illness) will suit up ahead of Tuesday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Green was tagged as questionable coming into the game due to an illness. He was able to get through shootaround without any issues and should have his normal workload on Tuesday. Green will look to bounce back after posting a rough 10-point outing during his last game. Fantasy managers should go ahead and get him back in their lineups ahead of tip-off.

Houston Rockets guard Jalen Green (illness) is listed as questionable for Tuesday night's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Green has been on the injury report for the past week with an illness but it hasn't caused him to miss any games. Given it's been nearly a week, the feeling around this questionable tag is that it's more precautionary. The 22-year-old has averaged 18.7 PPG this season while shooting just 30.7% from three. Green has thrived in the right matchups but has been underwhelming against tougher matchups. With Minnesota generally being a tougher defensive matchup for guards fantasy managers should temper their expectations for Green.

Houston Rockets guard Jalen Green (illness) is available ahead of Wednesday's game against the Indiana Pacers. Green was listed as questionable coming into this game due to an illness, but he'll continue to play as he has yet to miss a game this season. The 22-year-old figures to resume his role in the starting five for Wednesday's game. Green is averaging 19.7 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 2.7 assists across 32 minutes per game this season. Fantasy managers should make sure to get Green back in their lineups ahead of tip-off.

Houston Rockets guard Jalen Green (illness) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Indiana Pacers, leaving his availability uncertain. The 22-year-old has had an up-and-down season, averaging 19.7 points per game and playing in every game thus far. In his most recent contest, he came close to a double-double with 21 points and 9 rebounds against the Milwaukee Bucks. Fantasy managers should check for updates later Wednesday to see if Green suits up. If he's unable to play, Reed Sheppard and Aaron Holiday could take on more responsibility in the Houston backcourt.

Houston Rockets guard Jalen Green received a big payday ahead of his fourth season in the NBA. According to Kelly Iko of The Athletic, Green and the Rockets agreed on a three-year extension worth $106 million. The first year of the deal is worth $33.5 million, and the deal even includes a player option for the last year. Green has averaged 19.8 points, 4.1 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 2.4 threes, and 2.3 turnovers per game across three seasons in Houston. He'll look to lead a completely revamped team from when he was first drafted to their first playoff appearance since the 2019-20 season.

Houston Rockets guard Jalen Green is eligible for a contract extension. While there hasn't been an update regarding a potential deal, the 22-year-old doesn't seem too concerned. "My main focus is the season ahead of me with the players that we have," said Green in an interview. "Thats the main focus right now, and everything will work itself out." The 22-year-old has had his share of struggles since entering the league in 2021. However, he has still been productive for fantasy managers, most recently finishing the 2023-24 campaign by averaging 19.6 points, 5.2 rebounds, and 3.5 assists. Without question, he has All-Star potential, and his durability is a bonus for fantasy managers despite his underwhelming accuracy from behind the arc. Green and the Rockets have until October 21 to come to terms on a new deal. If that doesn't happen, the 2021 No. 2 overall pick will be a restricted free agent next offseason.

Houston Rockets guard Jalen Green (illness) is available Thursday against the Suns. Green has yet to miss a game this season. However, he has struggled in recent weeks. The 22-year-old has been used sparingly for Houston as he hasn't been the team's six-man lately. In 58 games, the guard logs 30.3 minutes and averages 17.1 points, 4.8 rebounds, and 3.4 assists per contest.

Houston Rockets guard Jalen Green (illness) is in danger of missing his first game of the season after the team added him to the injury report with a questionable tag ahead of Thursday's matchup against Phoenix. Green has gone through a few really rough weeks, and it would be another blow for him if he's sidelined on Thursday. Veteran Aaron Holiday is in line to benefit from Green's absence, while youngsters Amen Thompson and Cam Whitmore could also get more opportunities to impress. The latter two are definitely the better fantasy options for Thursday's slate.

Houston Rockets head coach Ime Udoka says guard Jalen Green (illness) is available to play on Wednesday versus the Portland Trail Blazers. There was optimism Green would be able to suit up after participating in Wednesday morning's shootaround despite dealing with a non-COVID illness, and he is ready to roll for game action. The 2021 No. 2 overall pick ranks outside the top 200 in category leagues but is at least supplying value around the top 100 in points formats on averages of 17.4 points, 4.6 rebounds, 3.2 assists, and 2.0 treys over 42 games in his third season for the Rockets. Green hopes this plum matchup against a 12-31 Blazers squad can spark a hot streak, but a 219.5-point implied total is the eight-game slate's second-lowest figure.

Houston Rockets guard Jalen Green (illness), who is currently listed as questionable for Wednesday's tilt versus the Portland Trail Blazers, was at the morning shootaround ahead of play. It bodes well for Green's ability to suit up on Wednesday, as he is dealing with an illness. The 23-year-old offensive-minded guard just hasn't been able to make the jump in other areas of his arsenal in Year 3, making him a points-league-specific fantasy asset with averages of 17.4 points, 4.6 rebounds, 3.2 assists, and 2.0 triples over 42 games. Green's status could come down to a game-time decision based on pregame warmups closer to Wednesday's tip-off.

Houston Rockets guard Jalen Green (illness) is listed as questionable for the team's game against the Portland Trail Blazers on Wednesday. The former second-overall pick missed Tuesday's practice, and his game status remains uncertain. Green, who has not missed a game all season, might be replaced in the starting lineup by rookie Amen Thompson, who started the last game when Fred VanVleet was absent. The 21-year-old is averaging 17 points and four rebounds in 30 minutes of play per game.

Houston Rockets guard Jalen Green (toe) is not going to play in Wednesday's preseason game against the San Antonio Spurs. Green is hobbled by a toenail problem, which at least doesn't sound to be a significant issue going forward. After missing Monday's exhibition, the former No. 2 overall pick will set his sights toward getting right for Friday's finale versus the Miami Heat. The 21-year-old three-level scorer figures to be ready to roll for Oct. 25's opener against the Orlando Magic. Green possesses one of fantasy's starkest contrasts in ranking between category and points leagues, so his seventh-round ADP may be more indicative of his value outside of 9-cat formats. Veteran swingman Reggie Bullock is a candidate to pick up Wednesday's nominal start at the two, while rookies Amen Thompson and Cam Whitmore look to make impressions in heightened roles.

Houston Rockets guard Jalen Green hasn't been slacking off in the summer and has impressed the team with his work. "This summer, he committed himself to growth," The Athletic's Kelly Iko wrote about Green. "Team sources said the staff was particularly pleased with the young guard's conditioning and fitness level, especially in early August when players are still in the midst of vacationing. He's trained in California with other NBA players, sessions which head coach Ime Udoka has frequented. Green arrived at Team USA camp stronger, fitter and most importantly, smarter. Word from Vegas was he picked up the system quickly, was extremely coachable and was an eager learner." Green has enjoyed two promising years in the NBA, and he appears ready to take another step forward in 2023-24.

It's a crazy time of year around the National Basketball Association. Not long after the Denver Nuggets captured the franchise's first championship, French big manVictor Wembanyama was the top pick of the 2023 Draft.While new talent entering the league is all well and good, nothing turns the NBA upside down quite like the beginning of free agency. Since June 30, many notable players have signed with new teams. There were also more than a few significant trades. In either case, at least a handful of clubs will look very different (for the better?) come training camp. Let's take a look at some of the biggest names on the move and how they might affect the NBA landscape this season. 

Fred VanVleet - Houston Rockets

The Rockets entered the 2022-23 campaign as the second-youngest team in the National Basketball Association, and it showed. The club finished with 22 wins and 60 losses, with the Pistons being the only team with a worse record. As a result, the front office made a point to shake things up after the exhaustingly long year came to a close.The overhaul began when Stephen Silas, winning just 59 of his 236 games in Houston, was relieved of his head coaching duties. In his place, Ime Udoka, who helped guide the Celtics to an NBA Finals appearance in his first season, took the reigns. While Udoka's tenure in Boston didn't end on a positive note, he's still regarded as one of the sharpest minds in the league, even by those who lost respect for him on a personal level.https://twitter.com/ShamsCharania/status/1650612243661242369?s=20While having a knowledgeable head coach will help accelerate the growth of an up-and-coming squad, the Rockets needed someone to facilitate things on the floor. With Houston having plenty of cap space entering the offseason, the team signed ... [More]

Houston Rockets guard Jalen Green collected his 12th 30-point game of the season as he led the upset effort over the Nuggets on Tuesday night. The second-year combo guard finished the game with 32 points, six rebounds, four assists, and one steal on 12-for-27 shooting from the floor and 4-for-8 from deep. Green still needs a little more consistency to be regarded as a top fantasy asset, especially while his current nine-category value is all the way down at 197. He remains at a decent value for those in dynasty leagues.

Houston Rockets guard Jalen Green (thigh) is available for Monday's game against the Golden State Warriors. The young guard was considered questionable earlier in the day due to a left thigh contusion. It appears Green is fine and he'll look to build off his 40-point performance on Sunday. The Warriors have held Green to a total of 29 points over their last two matchups. Despite that, fantasy managers should feel fine about plugging Green into their lineups on Monday.
