Green (calf) didn't participate in Monday's practice session, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Green sat out Saturday's win over the Pistons due to the right calf bruise, but the Rockets remain hopeful that he'll be able to return to action Wednesday against the Thunder despite missing practice Monday. Over his last six appearances, Green has averaged 23.5 points, 4.3 assists and 3.0 rebounds in 35.5 minutes per game.

Rockets' Jalen Green: Scores 19 with 19 shots
Rotowire
Green supplied 19 points (6-19 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 5-6 FT), four rebounds and seven assists over 38 minutes during Wednesday's 108-103 loss to Washington.
Green had a rough shooting performance but still ended as one of Houston's main scoring threats, and his contributions in other categories salvaged his fantasy performance. The second-year floor general has had a few off nights in the current month, but he's been serviceable for the most part. He's averaging 23.9 points, 3.9 rebounds and 4.1 assists per game in January.

Rockets' Jalen Green: Delivers another 40-point outing
Rotowire
Green notched a career-high 42 points (15-25 FG, 6-12 3Pt, 6-10 FT) to go along with four rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal in 35 minutes during Monday's 119-114 win over the Timberwolves.
Just five days after tying his previous career high with a 41-point explosion in a loss to Charlotte, Green upped the ante with an even bigger scoring night. A 41.6 percent shooter from the field and a 33.2 percent shooter from downtown for the season, Green achieved the new career high in scoring thanks to some inflated shooting, though that didn't carry over to the free-throw line. Green's overall lack of efficiency can make his production volatile from game to game. but he'll at least benefit from an uptick in usage while backcourt mate Kevin Porter (ankle) remains sidelined.

Rockets' Jalen Green: Ties career high with 41 points
Rotowire
Green finished with 41 points (16-24 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 5-6 FT), seven assists and five rebounds across 40 minutes during Wednesday's 122-117 loss to the Hornets.
The 41-point explosion matched Green's previous career high, which he established in the regular-season finale of his rookie campaign. With backcourt mate Kevin Porter (foot) missing his fourth consecutive contest Wednesday, Green enjoyed a usage rate north of 30 percent for the second time during that stretch, and he paired the increased time on the ball with an increase his overall efficiency en route to the big scoring night. Even after the strong shooting performance, Green still hasn't quite taken the step forward many expected in his sophomore season. His 53.5 true shooting percentage is 1.2 points below his 2021-22 mark.

Rockets' Jalen Green: Posts 23 points in return
Rotowire
Green finished Monday's 140-132 loss to the Lakers with 23 points (7-20 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 6-8 FT), five rebounds and three assists in 39 minutes.
Back in action after he served a one-game suspension in Sunday's loss to the Clippers, Green saw extended playing time out of the backcourt while running mate Kevin Porter (foot) missed a third game in a row. Despite stepping in as the Rockets' de facto starting point guard, Green didn't see a major uptick in his passing, as wing Eric Gordon (eight assists) and center Alperen Sengun (six assists) instead acted as the top facilitators for Houston. Regardless of which players the Rockets have available on a given night, Green's fantasy value is largely going to be tied to his scoring and three-point production.

Rockets' Jalen Green: Suspended for Sunday's contest
Rotowire
Green received a one-game suspension for leaving the bench area during an altercation in Friday's game against the Kings, and he'll serve the suspension Sunday against the Clippers.
Jae'Sean Tate was also suspended for the Rockets with multiple other players receiving fines. Green's absence will be significant for Houston since he is averaging 21.5 points, 4.3 rebounds and 3.6 assists in 34.5 minutes this season. Kevin Porter (foot) is doubtful, likely leaving TyTy Washington, Garrison Mathews, Josh Christopher and Daishen Nix to serve as members of Houston's backcourt rotation Sunday.

Rockets' Jalen Green: Shoots better in loss Friday
Rotowire
Green closed Friday's 139-114 loss to the Kings with 27 points (10-21 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, two assists and two steals across 33 minutes.
Green's 27 points tied for the team lead with rookie Jabari Smith, and the scoring total came with an improved shooting line. While Green came into the contest averaging 19.5 points over his previous six games, he shot a miserable 32.4 percent from the field over that span. However, against Sacramento, Green found his stroke from deep, going 5-for-9 from beyond the arc. Though he doesn't produce much in the way of peripheral stats and is shooting just 40.6 percent overall this season, Green does provide plenty of scoring and triples, averaging 21.5 points and 2.4 three-pointers per game on the campaign.

Rockets' Jalen Green: Shooting woes continue
Rotowire
Green ended Wednesday's 135-115 loss to the Kings with 26 points (9-25 FG, 3-12 3Pt, 5-7 FT), five rebounds and three assists in 39 minutes.
Though Green led the Rockets with 26 points, he needed 25 shots to reach that mark. He appears to have the green light as he tries to work his way out of a shooting slump that has seen him make just 35 of 108 field-goal attempts (32.4 percent) over his past seven games. While Green's fairly consistent scoring output can be nice from a fantasy perspective, he's one of the game's biggest field-goal drains -- among qualified players averaging at least 20 points per contest, none have a lower field-goal rate than Green's 40.4 percent mark.
Green provided 30 points (8-24 FG, 4-12 3Pt, 10-11 FT), four rebounds and four assists in 38 minutes during Thursday's 131-114 loss to the Jazz.
Green led the Rockets with 30 points, although his shooting woes continued, going just 8-of-24 from the field. He has now shot under 35 percent in four straight games, adding basically nothing on the defensive end. His flaws are obvious for all to see, placing him well outside the top 150 for the season. While he is still a must-roster player, he is certainly not going to be a viable option for everyone.

Rockets' Jalen Green: Scores 16 with 15 shots
Rotowire
Green logged 16 points (5-15 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds, four assists and one block in 32 minutes during Wednesday's 119-108 loss to the Pelicans.
Green has surpassed the 15-point mark in eight straight contests, and while he continues to produce in the backcourt, the shooting woes are real for the second-year guard. Green is shooting just 39.5 percent from the floor in his last five contests.

Rockets' Jalen Green: Shooting woes continue
Rotowire
Green closed Monday's 111-106 loss to the Mavericks with 20 points (5-17 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 8-12 FT), five rebounds, four assists and one steal in 32 minutes.
Green has been struggling with his shot of late and has made more than 10 shots in a game just once over his last 11 appearances. The second-year guard continues to produce and remains a must-roster player in all formats, but the shooting woes are concerning, as he's connected on just 40.3 percent of his field-goal attempts over the aforementioned 11-game span.

Rockets' Jalen Green: Struggles from field
Rotowire
Green registered 16 points (4-12 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 5-6 FT), three rebounds and three assists across 35 minutes during Saturday's 108-88 loss to New York.
Green shot just 33.3 percent from the field, but he found more success from beyond the arc where he scored nine of his 16 points. He's knocked down three or more triples in four straight matchups, and he's averaging 22.8 points, 4.3 rebounds and 3.0 assists over this stretch.

Rockets' Jalen Green: Reaches 20-point mark again
Rotowire
Green chipped in 24 points (9-15 FG, 6-10 3Pt, 0-2 FT), six rebounds, three assists and one steal in 35 minutes during Monday's 133-118 win over Chicago.
Green has surpassed the 20-point mark in three games in a row and in six of his last eight contests, so his role as one of Houston's main scoring weapons is noticeable, as evidenced by the fact that he's attempting 17.0 field goals per game in that span. The efficiency has not always been there, though, and while Green's percentage numbers are worse compared to the ones of his rookie year, he supplies that with high-volume scoring numbers. He's averaging 21.4 points across 34.5 minutes per game.

Rockets' Jalen Green: Nice effort in loss
Rotowire
Green compiled 23 points (6-17 FG, 0-4 3PT, 11-12 FT), eight rebounds, four assists and two steals across 39 minutes in Friday's 112-106 loss to the Mavericks.
While Green struggled from the field, he was able to make up for it with an all-around effort that included a healthy number of attempts from the charity stripe. It was the fifth time this season he got double-digit attempts from there, and by only missing one, he increased his percentage on the year to 79.9. The second-year combo guard still needs to work on his efficiency but can get hot at any moment.

Rockets' Jalen Green: Struggles to find shooting touch
Rotowire
Green amassed 15 points (5-16 FG, 0-6 3Pt, 5-9 FT), five rebounds, four assists and one block in 31 minutes during Saturday's 107-95 loss to the Trail Blazers.
Green failed to hit a shot from beyond the arc for the first time since Dec. 8, but he still managed to reach 15 points. He also made an impact on the glass and has now secured five or more rebounds in each of his last four matchups. The 20-year-old is averaging 21.6 points, 4.2 rebounds and 3.8 assists through 29 appearances so far this season.

Rockets' Jalen Green: Scores team-high 22 points
Rotowire
Green accumulated 22 points (8-21 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 5-6 FT), five rebounds, one assist, one block and three steals over 36 minutes during Thursday's 111-108 loss to the Heat.
Green is firmly entrenched as the Rockets' primary scoring weapon, and he's going through an excellent stretch over the last few weeks. The second-year guard has reached the 20-point mark in three straight contests and five of his seven games this month, averaging 23.1 points per game in that span. He could use an uptick in efficiency, making just 39.6 percent of his shots and 22.0 percent of his three-point attempts.

Rockets' Jalen Green: Drops game-high 26 points in win
Rotowire
Green registered 26 points (7-17 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 11-12 FT), seven rebounds and four assists in 37 minutes during Tuesday's 111-97 victory over the Suns.
Green led all scorers with 26 points in the win, topping 20 points for the third time in his last four games. While his efficiency remains a bugaboo for managers, he has been able to raise his productivity in both assists and rebounds. The scoring will generally be there on most nights, so adding some peripheral production is going to be key to maximizing his fantasy value moving forward.

Rockets' Jalen Green: Drops a cool 30 points in win
Rotowire
Green finished Sunday's 97-92 victory over the Bucks with 30 points (12-21 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), seven rebounds and three assists over 34 minutes.
Green led all scorers Sunday as the Rockets caused a massive boilover, dropping 30 points for the sixth time this season. Despite career-high numbers across multiple categories, Green currently sits well outside the top 150, thanks primarily to poor efficiency and high turnovers. These are known fantasy issues and something that managers should have been prepared for coming into the season. Flaws aside, Green has been as advertised and should be rostered in all formats.

Rockets' Jalen Green: Team-high 30 points in win
Rotowire
Green produced 30 points (8-24 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 12-16 FT), three rebounds, two assists and three steals in 37 minutes during Friday's 122-121 victory over Phoenix.
Green led the Rockets in scoring Friday with 30 points but was incredibly inefficient outside of the third quarter, where he collected 20 points on 6-of-10 shooting from the field. He was just a combined 2-of-14 through the other three quarters, though his one point from the free-throw line in the fourth quarter did put Houston up 122-121 to eventually win the game. It was Green's fifth 30-point game of the season. He also recorded a season-high three steals in the contest.
