Rockets' Fred VanVleet: Solid line in win over Orlando
VanVleet logged 19 points (4-15 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 8-8 FT), six rebounds, three assists and one steal in 36 minutes during Wednesday's 116-108 win over Orlando.
There have been quite a few ups and downs in VanVleet's five games since returning from a prolonged absence -- he made just one appearance between Feb. 3 and March 10. This game was undoubtedly a step in the right direction. While VanVleet will remain a reliable fantasy option for the Rockets as long as he stays healthy, his upside right now won't be the highest due to the inconsistencies he's showing on a game-to-game basis.

VanVleet (ankle) totaled 10 points (4-9 FG, 2-6 3Pt), four assists, three steals and two rebounds across 28 minutes in Wednesday's 111-104 win over Phoenix.
VanVleet, who had missed 15 of the Rockets' last 16 games due to a right ankle strain, saw a healthy workload in his return to action. With Amen Thompson (ankle) likely to miss at least another week, VanVleet could see a bump in his usage rate in future contests as Houston's clear top playmaker out of the backcourt.

VanVleet has missed 15 of the Rockets' last 16 games due to a right ankle injury, but he has progressed enough in his recovery to return to action Wednesday, though he could operate under a minutes restriction.

VanVleet has played in just two games since Feb. 1, and he averaged 13.9 points, 5.6 assists, 2.7 rebounds and 2.1 steals over 37.5 minutes per game in the month of January.

VanVleet has missed 15 of the last 16 games for Houston while nursing a right ankle injury. It appears he's trending toward returning to the floor sooner rather than later.

Rockets' Fred VanVleet: Won't play Monday
VanVleet (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Thunder.
After missing 11 straight games due to a right ankle strain, VanVleet returned to action Saturday and played 35 minutes but finished with only three points on 1-for-8 shooting and re-injured his ankle. Monday's game is the first half of a back-to-back set, so VanVleet could return to action Tuesday in Indiana, though it's likely the veteran is slated for another extended absence. Amen Thompson (shoulder) should move back to point guard until VanVleet is cleared to play again.

Rockets' Fred VanVleet: Aggravates ankle injury in return
VanVleet said after Saturday's 113-103 loss to the Kings that he re-injured his strained right ankle on the Rockets' first possession of the game, Kelly Iko of The Athletic reports.
VanVleet had missed 11 straight games due to the injury before he was cleared to return to action Saturday. Though he didn't face any restrictions heading into the day, VanVleet tweaked his ankle in the opening minute of the contest and was sporting a noticeable limp while exiting the locker room following the game. Despite the aggravation, VanVleet still ended up playing 35 minutes, but he struggled mightily, finishing with three points (1-8 FG, 1-7 3Pt), five rebounds, five assists and three steals. He acknowledged afterward that he was unsure if he would have to miss time because of the aggravation, so VanVleet's status will be worth tracking heading into the Rockets' next game Monday at Oklahoma City.

Rockets' Fred VanVleet: Questionable for Tuesday
VanVleet (ankle) is questionable to face the Bucks on Tuesday, Adam Wexler of Sportstalk 790 Houston reports.

The Rockets have a record of 3-6 with VanVleet out of the lineup.

Rockets' Fred VanVleet: Remains out Saturday
Rockets head coach Ime Udoka said prior to Friday's 121-115 win over the Timberwolves that VanVleet (ankle) will remain out for Saturday's game in Utah, Ben DuBose of USA Today reports.
Though VanVleet went through portions of the Rockets' first post-All-Star break practice Thursday, he reported soreness in his strained right ankle following the session, prompting Houston to hold him out for both legs of its back-to-back set. After Thursday's session, Udoka estimated that VanVleet was about "80 percent" healthy, noting that the veteran point guard still needs to take contact and get involved in up-and-down scrimmaging before returning to the lineup. With that in mind, VanVleet seems to be a good bet to miss one or both ends of another back-to-back set early next week, with the Rockets facing the Bucks on Tuesday and the Spurs on Wednesday. Aaron Holiday, Amen Thompson and Jalen Green should continue to see more opportunities initiating the offense while VanVleet is sidelined.

Rockets' Fred VanVleet: Not playing Friday
VanVleet (ankle) has been ruled out for Friday's contest against Minnesota.
VanVleet missed the final seven games prior to the All-Star break due to a right ankle strain. Though head coach Ime Udoka had labeled the veteran point guard as a game-time decision for Friday, VanVleet's streak of absences will ultimately reach eight games. The Rockets are seemingly hopeful for VanVleet to return for the second half of their back-to-back Saturday against the Jazz.

Rockets' Fred VanVleet: Could return Friday
Rockets head coach Ime Udoka said Thursday that VanVleet (ankle) will be a game-time decision for Friday's matchup with the Timberwolves, Lachard Binkley of SI.com reports.
An ankle injury has kept the veteran point guard sidelined since Feb. 1. Notably, big man Jabari Smith (hand) has been cleared to make his return Friday, so the Rockets will be back to full strength very soon. VanVleet's return -- whether Friday or at a later date -- should result in fewer minutes for Aaron Holiday, and possibly Jae'Sean Tate and Cam Whitmore. Players like Amen Thompson and Jalen Green may also be asked to do a little bit less offensively.
