Green ended Sunday's 119-116 win over the Thunder with nine points (2-6 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-6 FT), two rebounds, three assists and one block across 34 minutes. This was a lackluster performance from Green, but the Rockets managed to pull out the win with Fred VanVleet and Alperen Sengun combining for 58 points. Apart from his 41-point outburst against the 76ers on Wednesday, Green has been pretty underwhelming with 10 or fewer points in three of his last four contests.

Green ended Sunday's 119-116 win over the Thunder with nine points (2-6 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-6 FT), two rebounds, three assists and one block across 34 minutes. This was a lackluster performance from Green, but the Rockets managed to pull out the win with Fred VanVleet and Alperen Sengun combining for 58 points. Apart from his 41-point outburst against the 76ers on Wednesday, Green has been pretty underwhelming with 10 or fewer points in three of his last four contests.
Smith contributed 15 points (6-15 FG, 3-9 3Pt), 14 rebounds and three blocks in 40 minutes during Sunday's 119-116 victory over the Thunder. Smith's results have been up and down, but the third-year pro has shown the ability to capitalize when game flow works in his favor. Although he has only three double-doubles this season, he's come tantalizingly close to the mark several times. Over 21 games, he's averaging 12.0 points, 6.8 rebounds and 0.8 assists.
Sengun contributed 20 points (7-17 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 6-8 FT), 14 rebounds, nine assists and one block in 38 minutes during Sunday's 119-116 win over the Thunder. Sengun was only one assist shy of a triple-double in the victory but extended his current double-double streak to three games. He's hit the threshold 15 times, which has included three triple-doubles. He'll face a stiffer test Tuesday evening against Domantas Sabonis and the Kings.
VanVleet closed with 38 points (10-19 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 13-14 FT), two rebounds and three assists in 35 minutes during Sunday's 119-116 win over the Thunder. VanVleet turned in a masterful performance in a signature win against the Thunder. Oklahoma City tried to slow him down, but VanVleet made them pay at the charity stripe. VanVleet has successfully avoided discipline after last week's ejection, which involved an argument between VanVleet and an official about an obvious missed call.
McVeigh was recalled to the Rockets on Sunday, Adam Spolane of Sports Radio 610 Houston reports. McVeigh will join the Rockets ahead of their matchup against the Thunder on Sunday. The two-way forward has yet to play more than six minutes in a regular-season contest this year, and he has made six appearances for Houston thus far.
The Rockets recalled Whitmore from the G League's Rio Grande Valley Vipers on Friday, Vanessa Richardson of Space City Home Network reports. Whitmore continues to bounce back and forth between the NBA and G League. In eight appearances for the Rockets this season, Whitmore is averaging 5.9 points and 1.4 rebounds in 9.9 minutes.
Thompson posted 19 points (8-10 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 13 rebounds, two assists, three blocks and three steals in 40 minutes during Wednesday's 122-115 overtime victory over the 76ers. Thompson is one of the most productive bench players in the league, and he's a must-have player in most fantasy formats but particularly category-based leagues due to his ability to fill the stat sheet. The second-year forward is averaging a robust stat line of 13.8 points, 8.2 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 1.9 steals and 1.6 blocks per game across his last 10 appearances while shooting 63.3 percent from the field in that span.
Sengun provided 22 points (6-11 FG, 10-12 FT), 14 rebounds, seven assists, one block and two steals in 35 minutes during Wednesday's 122-115 overtime victory over the 76ers. Sengun finished just three assists away from recording what would've been his fourth triple-double of the season, and his second consecutive one after his 22-point, 10-rebound, 11-assist performance versus the Timberwolves on Tuesday. Sengun continues to fill the stat sheet every time he steps on the hardwood, and the star big man continues to be one of the most productive centers in fantasy, regardless of the format of your league. He's averaging 20.5 points, 10.5 rebounds, 6.3 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.4 blocks per game over his last 10 appearances.
