• Rockets' Fred VanVleet: Questionable for Wednesday vs. LAC

  11M ago • By RotoWire

  VanVleet (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Clippers. VanVleet is in jeopardy of missing his second consecutive game due to left hamstring soreness, though Monday's absence was the second game of a back-to-back set. The 30-year-old has seen a decrease in production through 10 regular-season outings in the 2024-25 campaign, during which he has averaged 13.2 points, 5.8 assists, 3.9 rebounds and 1.7 steals while shooting 37.9 percent from the field across 35.6 minutes per game.

• Rockets' Fred VanVleet: Won't play Monday

  1D ago • By RotoWire

  VanVleet will not play Monday against the Wizards due to left hamstring soreness. Monday's game is the second leg of a back-to-back set, so VanVleet's absence may be a byproduct of load management more so than the hamstring injury. VanVleet played 37 minutes in Sunday's 101-99 win over the Pistons, but he was held to seven points (3-13 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 0-2 FT) while contributing seven rebounds, seven assists, three steals and one block. With VanVleet sidelined for at least one game, Jalen Green could absorb most of the usage of the backcourt, while players such as Amen Thompson and Reed Sheppard may notice spikes in playing time.

  VanVleet totaled seven points (3-13 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 0-2 FT), seven rebounds, seven assists, one block and three steals in 37 minutes during Sunday's 101-99 win over the Pistons. Vanvleet has really struggled with his shot to open the season, and his counting stats have also suffered. Through the opening 10 games of the campaign, he's posting averages of 13.2 points, 5.8 assists, 3.9 rebounds, 1.7 steals and 2.0 three-pointers while hitting 37.6 percent from the field and 28.2 percent from beyond the arc.

• Rockets' Fred VanVleet: Sniffs triple-double in win

  5D ago • By RotoWire

  VanVleet accumulated 21 points (10-11 FG, 1-2 3Pt), seven rebounds, 10 assists and two steals in 25 minutes during Wednesday's 127-100 victory over the Spurs. VanVleet delivered his best game of the season Monday, setting up season-high marks in points, rebounds and assists while ending just three boards shy of a triple-double. With Alperen Sengun and Jalen Green entrenched as the Rockets' go-to options on offense, VanVleet's upside has reduced a little. However, he remains a solid contributor across all formats due to the impact he can make on both ends of the court. VanVleet is averaging 14.3 points, 6.1 assists, 3.6 rebounds and 1.6 steals per game across his first eight outings.

• Rockets' Fred VanVleet: Bounces back in win

  7D ago • By RotoWire

  VanVleet ended Monday's 109-97 victory over New York with 19 points (8-13 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five assists, two rebounds, two steals and one block over 36 minutes. VanVleet ended as the club's second-leading scorer behind Alperen Sengun (25) in the win. After a three-game span in which the 30-year-old shot 20.5 percent from the field, he produced a bounce-back outing with an efficient game. VanVleet's offensive production has been limited thus far, and he has averaged 13.3 points, 5.6 assists, 3.1 rebounds and 1.6 steals across 37.6 minutes per game in seven regular-season outings. However, he remains a crucial part of the Rockets' frontcourt and has racked up two-plus steals in four outings.
