Houston Rockets guard Amen Thompson (ankle) is available to play ahead of Friday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. Thompson has been upgraded to available after coming into this game with a questionable tag. He tweaked his ankle during Thursday's game, but it won't be enough to keep him off the court. He played 44 minutes during Thursday's overtime loss to the Golden State Warriors. It wouldn't be shocking to see the Rockets monitor Thompson on Friday. Regardless, fantasy managers should feel comfortable plugging him into their lineups ahead of tip-off.

According to Varun Shankar of the Houston Chronicle, Houston Rockets guard/forward Amen Thompson (ankle) is available to play Thursday against the Golden State Warriors. Thompson sprained his right ankle during Monday's win over the Washington Wizards. However, after a few days of rest, the 23-year-old has been cleared to suit up for tonight's contest. Fantasy managers should expect Thompson to make an impact against the Warriors, as he has been on an impressive run over his last five games, recording three double-doubles.

Houston Rockets guard/forward Amen Thompson (ankle) is questionable to play on Thursday against the Golden State Warriors. Houston's jack of all trades sprained his right ankle in Monday's win over the Washington Wizards and might have to sit out only his third game of the season. Rockets head coach Ime Udoka said on Wednesday that Thompson is expected to play against the Warriors, but we won't know for sure until his status is officially upgraded. Houston is starting a back-to-back set and will want to avoid any risk of a more serious injury to Thompson. If Thompson doesn't suit up, Josh Okogie and Aaron Holiday will probably have more prominent roles, though they are unlikely to make a fantasy impact.

Houston Rockets guard Amen Thompson (quad) missed Wednesday night's matchup with the Kings due to left quadriceps tendinitis, but he is not on the injury report and should be ready to return on Thursday against the Magic. Thompson will continue to play through the issue as he has for at least a few weeks. It seems to be slowing him down a little on offense, but he's still playing huge minutes and contributing on the defensive end. He did show a little offensive spark with 20 points on Monday against the Jazz, though, and he always brings a high ceiling with his multi-category potential. He can be used in your fantasy lineups as you normally would for Thursday's contest, while Reed Sheppard will return to his normal role after getting extra work on Wednesday and dropping 28 points in 32 minutes against Sacramento.

Houston Rockets guard/forward Amen Thompson (quadriceps) has been ruled out for Wednesday's clash against the Sacramento Kings. He will miss a fantastic fantasy matchup with a sore left quadriceps. The Rockets are likely to use Reed Sheppard as Thompson's replacement in the starting lineup. Sheppard has already built some momentum coming off the bench and would be an even more appealing fantasy option as a member of the first unit. The 21-year-old has averaged 13.8 points, 3.8 rebounds, 4.5 assists, and 2.3 steals in eight starts this season.

Houston Rockets guard Amen Thompson (illness) will play on Saturday versus OKC. He's not feeling the best. While the 23-year-old will at least be available, he'll come off the bench. It's unknown how much action Thompson will see against the champs. Although he's still a must-start in season-long fantasy setups, DFS managers may want to pump the brakes. Reed Sheppard, averaging 13.4 points, 4.4 steals, 4.2 assists, and 1.0 blocks in five starts this season, will replace him in the rotation.

According to Danielle Lerner of the Houston Chronicle, the Houston Rockets have exercised the fourth-year team option on guard Amen Thompson's contract on Friday. The move keeps the 22-year-old in Houston through the 2026-27 season. Through four games this campaign, Thompson has averaged 14.5 points, 5.3 assists, 5.3 rebounds and 1.0 steals during 33.5 minutes per contest. A core piece of the Rockets' long-term plans, Thompson should remain a reliable fantasy contributor for years to come.

With Fred VanVleet (knee) expected to miss the 2025-26 season, the Houston Rockets will rely on a committee approach to handle point guard duties, with Amen Thompson taking on a key role. Thompson and Reed Sheppard are likely to see the most time initiating the offense, while head coach Ime Udoka also plans to lean on Alperen Sengun and Kevin Durant as secondary playmakers. That versatility gives Houston multiple options to keep the offense flowing, but Thompson's usage and development will be under the spotlight. The 22-year-old guard impressed last season, averaging 14.1 points, 8.2 rebounds, and 3.8 assists per game, and his ability to push the pace and distribute should make him a focal point in VanVleet's absence. Thompson's value is trending up heading into the season.

Houston Rockets guard/forward Amen Thompson had his fingerprints all over Wednesday's Game 5 victory over the Golden State Warriors, racking up 25 points, six rebounds, three assists, five steals, and three blocks. Thompson, who finished 8-for-12 shooting, played a key role in limiting the Warriors to 49 first-half points. The visitors improved in the second half, but Houston still picked up a comfortable 131-116 win. This was without a doubt Thompson's best performance of the series, and it's sure to be a confidence-booster for him ahead of another elimination game on Friday night. The 22-year-old has averaged 14.4 points, 6.4 rebounds, 3.6 assists, 1.0 blocks, and 1.6 steals in his first career postseason campaign.

Houston Rockets guard/forward Amen Thompson (ankle) will play in Thursday's contest against the Utah Jazz. He was in danger of missing a second consecutive contest due to a left ankle sprain, but the team has upgraded his status from questionable to available. Thompson has made big strides in his development this season and is averaging nearly a double-double since the All-Star break with 15.7 points and 9.5 rebounds. With Thompson back, Tari Eason will likely have to settle for a bench role on Thursday, but he will still play a significant role in the rotation.

Houston Rockets guard/forward Amen Thompson (ankle) is listed as questionable on the injury report ahead of Thursday's game against the Utah Jazz. Thompson might miss a second consecutive contest due to a left ankle sprain. An injury to the same ankle sidelined Thompson for two weeks earlier this month, so the team is likely to be cautious with him and won't rush his return. Tari Eason impressed during Thompson's previous absence and will be a good fantasy option again if Thompson isn't cleared to play.

Houston Rockets guard /forward Amen Thompson (ankle) has been cleared to play ahead of Friday's game against the Miami Heat. Thompson is back in the mix following a six-game absence due to a sprained left ankle. Head coach Ime Udoka said Thompson won't have a minutes restriction despite missing a handful of games. Thompson will move immediately into the starting five which will shift Tari Eason back to the bench. Both Eason and Jabari Smith Jr. will see reduced roles, but should still offer fantasy value with the second unit.

Houston Rockets forward Amen Thompson (ankle) is considered probable on Friday and will likely take the floor against the Miami Heat. This marks his first game back after a six-game absence due to a left ankle sprain. The second-year wing has been a big part of the Rockets' success this year, with averages of 14.0 points, 8.3 rebounds, 3.6 assists, 1.3 steals, 1.3 blocks, and 2.1 turnovers per game. With Thompson back in the lineup, Tari Eason would likely move back to the bench.

Houston Rockets guard/forward Amen Thompson (ankle) suffered a left ankle sprain and will be sidelined for 10-to-14 days, according to ESPN's Shams Charania. The second-year wing underwent an MRI which didn't show any structural damage. Charania reports that Thompson will receive treatment and go through some rehab for the swelling in his ankle. This likely means some added minutes for a combination of Jabari Smith Jr., Cam Whitmore, and maybe even Reed Sheppard. Smith seems to have the most consistent role in the rotation right now, and he averages 11.6 points, 6.8 rebounds, and 1.6 threes per game in March.

Houston Rockets guard/forward Amen Thompson (ankle) exited Saturday's win over the New Orleans Pelicans. He narrowly missed a triple-double, amassing 15 points, 11 assists, and nine rebounds. Unfortunately, the 2023 No. 4 overall pick suffered an ankle injury late in the contest. Thompson, averaging 14.0 points, 8.3 boards, 2.6 assists, and 1.3 steals this season, has stepped up in the absence of Fred VanVleet (ankle). However, with Thompson observed leaving the arena with crutches and a walking boot, he'll likely miss time. He will undergo an MRI on Sunday. But while Thompson and VanVleet are off the floor, Jalen Green should see a bump in usage while serving as the primary option at the one. Aaron Holiday, who had 20 points on Saturday night, may also see more work, potentially even entering the starting lineup.

Houston Rockets guard/forward Amen Thompson (shoulder) will not suit up for Monday's clash against the Oklahoma City Thunder. The team initially listed Thompson questionable for the contest due to right shoulder soreness, and he has now been officially ruled out. Houston is currently battling several health issues, leaving Jalen Green as the only healthy player among regular starters. Depth pieces like Cam Whitmore, Jae'Sean Tate, and Aaron Holiday are expected to step up against the Thunder.

Houston Rockets guard/forward Amen Thompson (shoulder) drew a questionable tag for Monday's matchup against the Oklahoma City Thunder due to right shoulder soreness. The 22-year-old has seen a sizeable jump in his stats across the board this year despite a lower usage percentage from his rookie year (17.3% vs 18.5). In terms of Monday night's game, Thompson is one of four starters listed as either out or questionable, including Fred VanVleet (ankle), Alperen Sengun (back), and Dillon Brooks (knee). Jalen Green would likely lead the scoring efforts if they're all ruled out while Aaron Holiday, Cam Whitmore, and Reed Sheppard would all be in play for streaming options.

Houston Rockets guard/forward Amen Thompson stuffed the stat sheet in Monday's 114-112 victory over the Boston Celtics, recording a career-high 33 points along with nine rebounds, four assists, one steal, and one block. He capped off his big night by hitting the game-winning shot with 1.1 seconds left on the clock in the fourth quarter. It was a very efficient 33-point performance from Thompson, as he shot 13-for-19 from the field with a 1-for-2 record from downtown. Thompson's fantasy value has increased significantly since he became a regular in the starting lineup. He averages 18.3 points, 10.9 rebounds, 3.7 assists, 1.7 blocks, and 2.0 steals per game as a starter this season.

Houston Rockets guard/forward Amen Thompson (calf) has been upgraded from questionable to available on Monday and will play through the calf tightness that he was experiencing. Before he was forced to miss a game, Thompson registered 20 points, 10 rebounds, five assists, two steals, and one block against the Sacramento Kings on Thursday. He's a great start in any fantasy format but has especially excelled this year in category leagues with his defensive potential. Through 38 games, he's averaging 12.8 points, 7.8 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 1.3 steals, and 1.2 blocks per game.

Houston Rockets guard Amen Thompson (calf) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Detroit Pistons. Thompson is now in danger of missing a second straight game after sitting out on Saturday's contest. Another absence for Thompson would mean increased roles for Cam Whitmore and Tari Eason. On Saturday, Whitmore looked solid as he posted a double-double with 12 points and 10 rebounds. He'd be worth looking at as a streaming option if Thompson is once again unavailable.
