Rockets' Amen Thompson: Muted performance in win
Thompson notched 11 points (4-7 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-4 FT), one rebound and three assists in 23 minutes during Wednesday's 109-94 victory over Golden State in Game 2 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
Thompson has been one of the best all-around players for the Rockets during the 2024-25 campaign, but he struggled to have a significant impact in Game 2, finishing with a less-than-stellar stat line. The rising star usually makes his presence felt defensively, which didn't happen Wednesday. However, Houston was still able to come out on top ahead of the series shifting to San Francisco for the next two games.

Rockets' Amen Thompson: Nears double-double in loss
Thompson registered eight points (4-9 FG, 0-4 FT), nine rebounds, six assists, one block and one steal over 33 minutes during Sunday's 95-85 loss to Golden State in Game 1 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
Thompson is one of the most promising young stars on the Rockets, especially in terms of the impact he makes on the defensive end of the floor. However, during the Game 1 loss to the Warriors on Sunday, the defensive-minded forward made more of an impact on the glass, ripping down nine rebounds to go along with eight points and six assists. Unfortunately, it was enough to help Houston hold off Golden State from taking a 1-0 series lead.

The 2023 first-round pick exceeded his rookie season by a wide margin during his second year with the Rockets, with substantial increases in points, rebounds, assists and steals. Over 68 games and 41 starts, the youngster averaged 14.0 points, 8.2 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.3 blocked shots.

Rockets' Amen Thompson: Ready to return Sunday
Thompson (rest) is not on the injury report ahead of Sunday's game against the Nuggets.
The Rockets rested their regular rotation players in the last two contests, but that won't be the case Sunday, because this is the final chance the Rockets will have to log competitive minutes until the playoffs start April 19. As such, Thompson will start and should handle his regular workload in this contest. The second-year combo forward has started in each of his 16 appearances since the All-Star break, averaging 15.2 points, 8.6 rebounds, 5.0 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.4 blocks per contest.

Thompson put up 14 points (7-14 FG, 0-2 3Pt), six rebounds, six assists, three steals and two blocks in 29 minutes during Sunday's 106-96 win over the Warriors.
The sophomore wing was a force to be reckoned with on all fronts in the big win, putting up yet another impressive showing in what has been a breakout season.

Fantasy lines like these have become the norm for Thompson as his breakout season continued. With 65 games under his belt, Thompson is on pace to return fifth-round value in nine-category formats with 14.1 points, 8.3 rebounds, 3.7 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.3 blocks on 55.4 percent shooting from the field.

Rockets' Amen Thompson: Logs double-double in return
Thompson contributed 15 points (7-11 FG, 1-2 3Pt), 10 rebounds, five assists, one block and two steals over 28 minutes during Thursday's 121-110 victory over Utah.
Thompson returned to action after taking a seat to tend his injured ankle, which has kept him out of seven games this month. The second-year pro's mid-range shot was on point in the decisive win, giving the Rockets an offensive shot in the arm as they try to maintain the second seed in the Western Conference. Houston has an upcoming back-to-back set that includes a match against the Lakers on Monday, and Thompson may miss one of those games for injury management.

Thompson will return to game action after being a late scratch in Tuesday's win over Atlanta due to left ankle soreness. The 22-year-old has appeared in two outings following a six-game absence due to a sprained left ankle, and he was able to play 30-plus minutes in both of them.

Rockets' Amen Thompson: Dominates in return
Thompson closed Friday's 102-98 victory over the Heat with 18 points (8-14 FG, 2-3 FT), nine rebounds, five assists, one block and seven steals over 35 minutes.
Thompson returned to the court after missing the past six games due to an ankle injury. Demonstrating that it is possible to return from an injury without requiring a ramp-up period, Thompson moved straight into the starting lineup, playing without a minutes' restriction. He picked up where he left off, tallying a career-high seven steals while falling one rebound short of a double-double. Barring any setbacks, Thompson should be good to go as the Rockets look to build momentum heading into the playoffs.
