Fred VanVleet scored 24 points (7-14 FG, 4-9 3PT, 6-6 FT) to go along with six rebounds, five assists and two steals in the Rockets 132-100 win over the Bucks.

Fantasy Impact

VanVleet led the way in the win despite playing just 29 minutes. It was his best performance of the young season.

Fred VanVleet scored six points (2-8 FG, 2-6 3PT) to go with 11 assists and three steals in Wednesday's 128-110 win over the Dallas Mavericks.

Fantasy Impact

The veteran wasn't able to get much going as a scorer on Wednesday, finishing with just six points over the course of the game. He was great as a facilitator with 11 assists and a defender with three rebounds, however, which helped to salvage his fantasy total on the night.

Fred VanVleet is opting into his $25 million player option rather than becoming a free agent. He will stay in Houston and try to rebuild his value after coming off of a torn ACL.

Fantasy Impact

If VanVleet can get back to what he was pre-injury, which is getting harder to do as he ages, he should still be a vital part of the Rockets rotation as they search for a title. They looked a bit lost at times during the season, and VanVleet’s experience could prove valuable to their chemistry and ability.
