Green closed with 21 points (6-14 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 5-6 FT), five rebounds, four assists and one block in 31 minutes during Wednesday's 127-100 victory over the Spurs.
Green got back to his usual scoring ways after two games in which he delivered below-average production. Even though he might be prone to having a few off nights occasionally, Green's role as one of the Rockets' primary offensive weapons looks set in stone. He's scored at least 20 points in six of his eight appearances this season while averaging a solid 22.6 points per contest.

Rockets' Jalen Green: Notches 36 points
Rotowire
Green had 36 points (11-22 FG, 7-13 3Pt, 7-7 FT), one rebound and two assists over 38 minutes during Monday's 106-101 victory over San Antonio.
Green's 36 points mark a new season best as the Rockets improved to 2-2. The guard is averaging 28.8 points per game, which would be a career-high mark, but his peripheral stats are lacking right now with 3.8 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 0.8 steals a night.

Rockets' Jalen Green: Leads Rockets with 28 points
Rotowire
Green accumulated 28 points (9-23 FG, 5-15 3Pt, 5-5 FT) and two rebounds in 35 minutes during Wednesday's 110-105 loss to the Hornets.
Green picked up where he left off last season, leading Houston with 28 points. Although his points production was more than adequate, the same cannot be said for the rest of his line. Inefficient shooting and a lack of peripheral stats are something he has been a victim of throughout his career. While he is absolutely worth rostering, managers should be aware of his flaws.
Green and the Rockets agreed to a three-year, $106 million extension Monday, ESPN's Shams Charania reports.
This will be a unique extension, as it includes a player option for the third season to increase Green's earning potential. The guard is coming off a stellar preseason and there have been a lot of positive reports coming out of Houston. He could be poised for a breakout campaign after averaging 22.8 points per game following the All-Star break in 2023-24.

Rotowire
Green posted 30 points (8-16 FG, 7-13 3Pt, 7-8 FT), two rebounds, two assists, a steal and a block across 27 minutes in Thursday's 129-107 preseason win over the Spurs.
Green has been leading the Rockets in scoring throughout the preseason, but he saved the best for last in this one, as he torched the Spurs time and time again. The star shooting guard seems more than ready for the regular-season opener against the Hornets on Wednesday, and he should play a prominent role in Houston's offensive scheme as a legit three-level scorer.

Green seems ready to pick things right where he left them in the 2023-24 season, and based on what has happened in the preseason, the fourth-year guard is widely expected to operate as Houston's go-to player on offense in most games. Green averaged 22.8 points per game after the All-Star break in 2023-24, and he seems poised to average at least 20 points per game for the second time over the last three seasons.

Rotowire
Green delivered 21 points (7-14 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 3-3 FT), three rebounds and a block across 20 minutes in Monday's 122-113 preseason loss to the Jazz.
Coach Ime Udoka attempted to give the potential starters a solid run of minutes in the preseason opener, and Green made the most of it while leading the team in scoring. His role as one of the Rockets' primary offensive threats is not in danger after displaying tremendous growth in 2023-24, averaging 22.8 points per game after the All-Star break.
