3 years agoHouston Rockets point/shooting guard Jalen Green (hamstring) has been cleared to get back onto the floor for Thursday's matchup vs. Indiana. How head coach Stephen Silas chooses to shuffle his lineup remains to be seen, but Eric Gordon, Garrison Mathews, and Armoni Brooks are all candidates to either be shifted to the second unit or see decreased offensive usage upon the rookie's return. Green, the second overall selection in the 2021 NBA Draft, has averaged 14 points per game to begin his career, scuffling from the field to the tune of 38.2 percent shooting overall. Despite being just 19 years out, fantasy managers can anticipate Green playing a significant role for the Rockets for the rest of the season whenever healthy.--Jesse Borek
