VanVleet supplied 34 points (11-16 FG, 10-15 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, seven assists and two steals over 28 minutes during Saturday's 147-119 win over the Jazz.

EDGE Analysis

VanVleet finished just one three-pointer away from tying his career-best mark, but he tied the franchise's mark of most threes in a single game, a record previously co-held by James Harden and Chandler Parsons. VanVleet also scored a season-high 34 points, and while Jalen Green has been gaining most of the attention due to his impressive play, VanVleet has also been outstanding in his own right. During Houston's ongoing eight-game winning streak, VanVleet has averaged 18.9 points, 10.1 assists, 3.6 rebounds and 1.6 steals per game.

VanVleet chipped in 13 points (5-15 FG, 3-8 3Pt), five rebounds, 16 assists, one block and one steal across 35 minutes during Saturday's 117-103 win over Cleveland.

EDGE Analysis

While VanVleet wasn't efficient from the field Saturday, he got his teammates involved as he recorded 16 or more assists for the third time this season. His 8.2 assists per game ranks seventh in the NBA, and he's upped that to 10.0 dimes per contest in March. In addition to his assists, VanVleet is averaging 20.1 points on 47.3 percent shooting (including 46.9 percent from three on 8.0 attempts), 4.1 rebounds and 1.9 steals over 37.8 minutes per game in March.

VanVleet logged 27 points (9-14 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 6-7 FT), three rebounds, nine assists and two steals in 37 minutes during Thursday's 135-119 victory over Washington.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran point guard just missed his 19th double-double of the season while topping 20 points for the third straight game. VanVleet missed the last five contests before the All-Star break with an adductor strain, but he's been his usual productive self since returning to the court, averaging 18.7 points, 7.3 assists, 3.8 boards, 3.5 threes and 1.7 steals over the last 12 games.

VanVleet contributed 22 points (5-8 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 10-10 FT), four rebounds, nine assists and two steals across 38 minutes during Sunday's 112-104 win over the Kings.

EDGE Analysis

VanVleet finished just one assist away from a double-double once again, and he's been very consistent lately, finishing with at least 15 points and eight assists in his last five appearances. He's embraced a prominent leadership role in a young Rockets team, but he's backing that up with consistent play at point guard. VanVleet has averaged 17.6 points, 7.2 assists, 3.6 rebounds, and 1.6 steals per game since the All-Star break.

VanVleet had 18 points (5-13 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 4-4 FT), one rebound, 10 assists and one steal in 34 minutes during Friday's 123-107 victory over the Trail Blazers.

EDGE Analysis

VanVleet led all players in Friday's game in assists while connecting on a team-high-tying mark from three and posting the lone double-double to boost Houston to victory. VanVleet has led the Rockets offensively as of late, crossing the double-digit mark in assists in three of his last four contests, all of which have ended in double-double performances.

VanVleet provided 21 points (8-15 FG, 5-9 3Pt), four rebounds, 10 assists and four steals over 38 minutes during Tuesday's 114-101 win over San Antonio.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran point guard produced his 17th double-double of the season while the four steals tied his season high. VanVleet has been exactly what the Rockets were looking for when they signed him to a big free-agent contract in the offseason, and he's taking his game to another level as the team tries to make the postseason for the first time since 2019-20. He's scored at least 20 points in five of the last six contests, averaging 19.0 points, 6.5 assists, 4.0 boards, 4.0 threes and 1.5 steals over that stretch.

VanVleet posted 24 points (8-15 FG, 6-11 3Pt, 2-3 FT), five rebounds, 11 assists and one steal across 42 minutes during Saturday's 118-109 victory over the Suns.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran floor general played a significant role in Houston's win over the Suns, reaching double-digit assists for the first time since Jan. 29 and delivering his first double-double since a 24-point, 12-assist showing against the Knicks on Jan. 17. Even though Jalen Green and Jabari Smith are dubbed the future of the franchise alongside star big man Alperen Sengun, there's no question VanVleet adds stability and experience to the starting unit. The former Wichita State standout is averaging 16.7 points, 5.8 assists and 3.8 rebounds per game since the league resumed following the All-Star break.

VanVleet ended Sunday's 123-110 loss to the Thunder with 20 points (7-16 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, three assists and one steal in 38 minutes.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran point guard missed five games in early February due to an adductor strain, but VanVleet appears to be healthy now. He's scored at least 20 points in back-to-back contests, and in three games since his return to the court, he's gone 12-for-30 (40.0 percent) from beyond the arc while nabbing five total steals.

VanVleet (adductor) tallied seven points (2-8 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six assists, three rebounds and two steals across 30 minutes Thursday in the Rockets' 127-105 loss to the Pelicans.

EDGE Analysis

Making his return from a five-game absence due to a left adductor strain, VanVleet wasn't on a specific playing-time restriction but ended up seeing six fewer minutes than his season-long average due in large part to the blowout. He wasn't especially productive during his time on the court, but he still finished as Houston's leading assist man and should see his numbers improve as the adductor injury fades further in the rear-view mirror. According to Danielle Lerner of the Houston Chronicle, VanVleet already said before Thursday's game that he plans on playing in both ends of the back-to-back set, so he should be back on the court Friday versus the Suns.

VanVleet (groin) says he will play in Thursday's game against the Pelicans, Adam Spolane of Sports Radio 610 Houston reports.

EDGE Analysis

VanVleet has been sidelined since Feb. 4, but the All-Star break allowed his adductor injury to get ample rest. There's no word of any restrictions yet, but the Rockets are likely to monitor him closely in his first game back. With VanVleet returning, Amen Thompson is likely to see a decreased role.
