3 years agoHouston Rockets point/shooting guard Jalen Green continued to showcase his considerable scoring proficiency during Friday's defeat to the Kings, in which he dropped a career-best 33 points. While Green's efficiency left something to be desired (9-for-24), he went 6-for-14 from behind the arc and added eight rebounds on top of knocking down all nine free throw attempts. The 20-year-old has been on the periphery of many Rookie of the Year discussions, but he has averaged 16.6 PPG across 63 games this season, earning him season-long consideration in the vast majority of leagues. Green has now knocked down at least five triples in five straight outings, carrying an average of 28.6 PPG over that span into play Sunday vs. Minnesota.--Jesse Borek
