Wall produced 22 points (6-17 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 6-6 FT), eight assists and a rebound across 28 minutes in Thursday's 115-103 win over the Grizzlies.
EDGE Analysis
After the removal of his injury tag, Wall turned in a team-leading performance despite logging only 28 minutes. His seven turnovers compromised his fantasy total somewhat, however. At this point in the season, the addition of Wall to the Rockets roster has been a net positive for the organization.

Wall (Achilles) isn't on the injury report for Thursday's game against the Grizzlies.
EDGE Analysis
Wall sat out Wednesday's contest in the first half of a back-to-back, but he'll return to the court Thursday against Memphis. Over his past five appearances, Wall is averaging 16.8 points, 6.6 assists and 3.2 rebounds over 24.6 minutes per game.

Wall (Achilles) is listed as out for Wednesday's game against the Thunder.
EDGE Analysis
Wall will miss his eighth game of the season on the first half of a back-to-back for recovery purposes for his left Achilles. Victor Oladipo and Eric Gordon could make up the starting backcourt with the normal starting point guard sidelined once again.

Wall produced 18 points (7-12 FG, 4-5 3Pt), six rebounds, five assists, two steals and one blocked shot across 22 minutes in Monday's 136-106 win over the Thunder.
EDGE Analysis
Wall could have logged a much higher total, but he was long gone by the fourth quarter in the 30-point blowout. After a slow beginning of the season, Wall has converted 61.1 percent of his three-pointers over the past three games. His four triples Monday contributed to Houston's franchise-record 28 three-pointers on the night.

Wall had 15 points (5-12 FG, 4-6 3PT, 1-2 FT) and nine assists in Saturday's win over the Pelicans.
EDGE Analysis
Wall saw only 26 minutes of action on a night when no Rockets player played more than 28 minutes. He still nearly netted a double-double, while adding a steal and a block on the defensive end. Since returning from a five-game absence in the middle of January, Wall has averaged 16.5 points, 7.0 assists, 2.5 rebounds and 2.0 made threes over his last four appearances.

Wall compiled 20 points (6-16 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 5-6 FT), six assists, five rebounds and a blocked shot across 30 minutes in Thursday's 104-101 win over the Trail Blazers.
EDGE Analysis
The Rockets showed great resilience as they overcame a terrible first quarter, and Wall's leadership is a testament to that effort. The strains of James Harden's early antics and ultimate departure took their toll, but the re-invigorated backcourt has put new fight into this squad. As long as Wall is healthy and plays at this level, 2021 may be more than just a rebuilding year in Houston.

Wall delivered 24 points (9-21 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 5-6 FT), two rebounds, five assists and a steal across 24 minutes in Tuesday's win over the Wizards.
EDGE Analysis
Wall was clearly playing with a chip on his shoulder in this game, and while he struggled with his accuracy, he still ended as the Rockets' leading scorer while facing the franchise that drafted him for the first time in his career. Wall has scored 20 or more points just four times this season, but he looks healthy after missing five straight games earlier this month, and he should be one of the team's go-to guys on offense on a regular basis. The departure of James Harden via trade should translate into better scoring numbers on a long-term scenario.

Wall (knee) scored seven points (3-9 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT) and added eight assists and one rebound across 21 minutes Saturday in the Rockets' 133-108 win over the Mavericks.
EDGE Analysis
The Rockets were without Christian Wood (ankle) and Victor Oladipo (rest) for the second half of a back-to-back set, but Wall's return from a five-game absence due to a sore knee gave a boost to the starting lineup. Even so, Wall's playing time and production were limited in his first game back, with both Eric Gordon (32.3 percent usage rate) and DeMarcus Cousins (31.5 percent) doing most of the damage offensively for the Rockets. Expect Wall's minutes to ramp up in the Rockets' next game Tuesday, when he'll be facing his former Washington mates for the first time since being traded to Houston.

Wall (knee) will play Saturday against the Mavericks, Ben DuBose of USA Today reports.
EDGE Analysis
As expected, Wall will take the court after a five-game absence. With Victor Oladipo (rest) out, Wall should handle the ball plenty. In his seven appearances, Wall is averaging 18.6 points, 5.1 assists, 4.7 rebounds, 1.3 steals and 1.0 blocks in 33.9 minutes.

Wall (knee) is now listed as probable for Saturday's game against the Mavericks, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wall has been sidelined for the Rockets' previous five games. Although he was originally ruled out for Saturday, Houston seemingly now feels comfortable with him returning. However, assuming he ultimately gets the green light, his first game sharing the backcourt with the recently acquired Victor Oladipo (rest) will have to wait until Tuesday's game against the Wizards. Final confirmation on his status Saturday should come closer to tip-off.
