Fantasy Impact

Thompson can hardly be blamed for Houston's loss on Sunday night. He led the team in points, rebounds, and assists against the Kings, although his five turnovers hurt his fantasy total a bit. Still, fantasy managers should be well pleased with the 31-point double-double he was able to register in this game.

Amen Thompson put up 24 points (8-16 FG, 1-4 3PT, 7-11 FT) to go with 12 rebounds and six assists in Wednesday night's 103-102 loss to the Portland Trail Blazers.

Fantasy Impact

The Rockets suffered a loss at the hands of the Blazers on Wednesday night, but it's hard to blame Thompson for that. He put up 24 points and finished just four assists shy of a triple-double in this matchup, and he also had the best +/- out of anyone on the team at +6. There's little doubt that he will continue to be a great fantasy option for the foreseeable future.

Amen Thompson continued his recent scoring surge in Thursday’s win over the Nets, racking up 23 points on a hyper-efficient 10-of-12 shooting (1-of-1 FT). The third-year wing filled out the rest of his line with four rebounds, three assists, two steals, a block, and two three-pointers.

Fantasy Impact

While Thompson is generally known for his versatility rather than his scoring punch, he has been filling it up lately, scoring at least 18 points in five of his last six games. This uptick in offensive production, combined with his usual defensive contributions, has propelled him to near top-25 value in 8-category formats over the past two weeks. He will look to keep rolling when the Rockets visit the Mavericks on Saturday.
