Rockets' Jabari Smith: Swats three shots Saturday
Smith amassed 20 points (8-13 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT), seven rebounds, two assists, three blocks and one steal across 32 minutes during Saturday's 117-103 win over the Cavaliers.
Smith registered three blocks Saturday for the second time this season as he adjusts to his starting role at center with Alperen Sengun (ankle) sidelined indefinitely. It was the first time since Feb. 25 that Smith tallied 20-plus points in a game as he finished Saturday's contest as the second-leading scorer behind Jalen Green. Since the All-Star break, Smith is averaging 14.7 points, 9.0 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.1 steals over 33.5 minutes per game.

Rockets' Jalen Green: Notches double-double vs. Cavs
Green produced 26 points (9-20 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 4-6 FT), 11 rebounds, four assists, two blocks and one steal over 33 minutes during Saturday's 117-103 win over the Cavaliers.
Green registered his sixth double-double of the season in Saturday's win. The third-year guard has upped his game lately and is a big reason the Rockets are 7-1 in March. Green is averaging 24.6 points on 49.0 percent shooting (including 37.3 percent from three on 8.4 attempts), 5.6 rebounds and 3.5 assists over 35.5 minutes per game in March.

Rockets' Fred VanVleet: Dishes 16 dimes vs. Cleveland
VanVleet chipped in 13 points (5-15 FG, 3-8 3Pt), five rebounds, 16 assists, one block and one steal across 35 minutes during Saturday's 117-103 win over Cleveland.
While VanVleet wasn't efficient from the field Saturday, he got his teammates involved as he recorded 16 or more assists for the third time this season. His 8.2 assists per game ranks seventh in the NBA, and he's upped that to 10.0 dimes per contest in March. In addition to his assists, VanVleet is averaging 20.1 points on 47.3 percent shooting (including 46.9 percent from three on 8.0 attempts), 4.1 rebounds and 1.9 steals over 37.8 minutes per game in March.

Rockets' Amen Thompson: Conjures double-double against Wiz
Thompson produced 20 points (9-11 FG, 2-2 FT), 10 rebounds, four assists and three steals across 28 minutes during Thursday's 135-119 win over Washington.
It was the rookie forward's seventh double-double of the season, five of which have come since the beginning of February. Thompson has been in and out of the starting lineup during that time, but with Alperen Sengun (ankle) likely done for the rest of the regular season, Houston will be leaning a little more heavily on him down the stretch. The fourth overall pick in the 2023 Draft, Thompson has averaged 12.6 points, 10.9 boards, 3.9 assists and 1.8 steals as a starter.

Rockets' Fred VanVleet: Pops for 27 in Thursday's win
VanVleet logged 27 points (9-14 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 6-7 FT), three rebounds, nine assists and two steals in 37 minutes during Thursday's 135-119 victory over Washington.
The veteran point guard just missed his 19th double-double of the season while topping 20 points for the third straight game. VanVleet missed the last five contests before the All-Star break with an adductor strain, but he's been his usual productive self since returning to the court, averaging 18.7 points, 7.3 assists, 3.8 boards, 3.5 threes and 1.7 steals over the last 12 games.

Rockets' Jalen Green: Erupts for season-high 37
Green accumulated 37 points (15-23 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds and two assists across 37 minutes during Thursday's 135-119 win over the Wizards.
It was a season-best scoring performance from Green and his highest output in nearly a calendar year -- he dropped 40 on the Pelicans back on March 19, 2023. The third-year guard has topped 30 points three times in the last eight games, averaging 25.6 points, 4.9 boards, 3.5 threes, 3.3 assists and 1.1 steals over that stretch, and while consistency remains an issue for Green, the talent that made him the second overall pick in the 2021 Draft is still readily apparent.

Rockets' Jock Landale: Lands increased role Tuesday
Landale produced 11 points (5-8 FG, 1-2 3Pt), four rebounds, five assists, one block and two steals across 26 minutes during Tuesday's 103-101 win over the Spurs.
Landale served up arguably his best game of the season, playing at least 20 minutes for the first time all year. With Alperen Sengun likely sidelined for the remainder of the season due to knee and ankle injuries, Landale could find himself a key piece of the rotation moving forward. While his role could be dependent on who the opposition is, he is worth considering given his ability to contribute across multiple categories.

Rockets' Jabari Smith: Starts at center Tuesday
Smith registered 15 points (5-11 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), nine rebounds, one assist and two steals over 33 minutes during Tuesday's 103-101 victory over San Antonio.
Smith got the nod as the starting center Tuesday, replacing Alperen Sengun who is likely to miss the remainder of the season with multiple knee and ankle injuries. While the move to center is not set in stone for Smith, it will likely give him a small bump in production, especially on the defensive end. Assuming he stays healthy, Smith could end up being a valuable piece on a lot of winning fantasy teams.

Rockets' Jae'Sean Tate: Back in rotation Tuesday
Tate had two points (1-2 FG), two rebounds and two blocks across 13 minutes during Tuesday's 103-101 victory over the Spurs.
Tate moved back into the rotation Tuesday, playing just his second game in the past two weeks. Although injuries to other players may have opened up some playing time for Tate, there is no reason to grab him outside of very deep formats.

Rockets' Amen Thompson: Joins starting five
Thompson will join the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Spurs, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.
With Alperen Sengun (ankle) sidelined indefinitely, the Rockets are sliding Jabari Smith over to center which opens things up for Thompson in smaller lineups. Thompson has struggled with consistency and efficiency, but his ability to contribute in multiple categories makes him very appealing for the final stretch.

Rockets' Cam Whitmore: Out for three weeks
Coach Ime Udoka said Tuesday that Whitmore (knee) will miss roughly three weeks, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Whitmore has already been ruled out for Tuesday's contest due to a right knee sprain and is now set to miss an extended period. In his absence, Amen Thompson and Jae'Sean Tate are candidates to receive increased playing time. Whitmore could still return before the end of the regular season on April 14, but the Rockets may not rush him back if they continue to fall in the standings without Alperen Sengun (ankle/knee).
