He shot 4-of-11 from the field and 3-of-3 from the line while adding three assists, one steal, one block and two three-pointers.
Fantasy Impact
The shooting efficiency wasn't there, but Smith contributed across five statistical categories beyond the points and rebounds. The consecutive double-double streak represents a return to the rebounding consistency he showed in December. Houston faces the Clippers again Wednesday.

Fantasy Impact
Smith was the team’s second-leading scorer Thursday behind Kevin Durant’s 31 points, as the rest of the roster was held to single digits. He shot an efficient 70% from the floor and will look to carry that momentum into Saturday’s game against the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Fantasy Impact
Smith Jr. continues a modest stretch on both ends of the floor, finishing with two or more assists, seven or more rebounds, and eight or more points in each of his last five games.

Jabari Smith Jr. scored 14 points (5-12 FG, 2-6 3P, 2-2 FT) with 8 rebounds, three assists, three steals and five blocks in the Rockets 104-86 win over the Hawks.
Fantasy Impact
Smith was one of three Rockets who had three or more blocks in this game, leading the team in blocks and steals in the process. The Rockets were able to shut down a Jalen Johnson-less Hawks, whose starting unit struggled to get much going on offense. It’s a great performance by Smith, who will look to carry the momentum over to the Rockets game against Dallas on Saturday.
