Rockets' Amen Thompson: Productive in spot start
Amen Thompson closed Monday's 107-92 victory over the Wizards with 13 points (4-8 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 5-8 FT), eight rebounds, one assist, four blocks and four steals over 28 minutes.Thompson started at point guard due to the absence of Fred VanVleet (foot) and was productive across the board. Even though he finished with only one assist, as Alperen Sengun took on a bigger role in the playmaking department, Thompson did enough to deliver a strong fantasy showing, particularly on the defensive end. Expect Thompson to remain in the starting lineup as long as VanVleet remains sidelined.

Rockets' Amen Thompson: Posts first double-double
Amen Thompson supplied 18 points (8-15 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-4 FT), 11 rebounds, four assists and one steal in 34 minutes during Saturday's 127-121 overtime loss to Golden State.Thompson took on his largest workload of the season Saturday, as head coach Ime Udoka leaned heavily on the second-year wing and fellow reserve Tari Eason (35 minutes) while the two helped the Houston Rockets overcome a 31-point first half deficit to send the game to overtime. The 21-year-old has now put up 10 or more points in two straight matchups and has recorded a steal in three straight, and he could earn himself more playing time on the heels of his big performance. Thompson's season-best outing came after the Rockets exercised his $9.69 million team option for the 2025-26 season on Wednesday, per Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle.

Rockets' Amen Thompson: Limited again in victory
Amen Thompson produced seven points (2-5 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, one block and one steal across 19 minutes during Monday's 106-101 win over the Spurs.Thompson continues to play limited minutes off the bench, a frustrating situation for anyone who invested a draft pick on him. Although he is typically the first player off the bench, he has yet to play a sizeable role. The upside is clear for everyone to see, but at this stage, the Houston Rockets simply have too many cooks in the kitchen. He is worth holding where possible as it feels as though he is only one injury away from stepping into a meaningful role.
