Jalen Green is having another one of his smoldering stretches for the Houston Rockets. Over eight games in January, Green is averaging 30.2 points on 52/48/92 shooting splits. That 48% from 3 is coming on more than nine attempts per game.

The first choice for Houston's representation in the All-Star Game is Alperen Sengun, who has shown more consistency throughout the season. He's averaging 19.3 points, 10.5 rebounds, and 5.0 assists this season. However, Green has a case as well, seeing as how he leads the Rockets in points per game.

That’s Jalen’s gravity,” Amen Thompson said of his late buckets versus Memphis. “They sent two at (Green), so it's just up to the back line.”

Houston Rockets guard Jalen Green tied his career-high with 42 points in Monday's win over the Memphis Grizzlies.
