Christopher logged 15 points (7-8 FG, 1-1 3Pt), one assist, one block and two steals over 19 minutes during Friday's 117-111 loss to the Raptors.
EDGE Analysis
Christopher went 7-of-8 from the floor in the loss, scoring in double digits for the third straight game. Although his point production has been nice, his playing time remains capped. He has failed to play more than 20 minutes in any game this season, remaining on the fringe of the rotation. We do know that he can contribute when afforded meaningful minutes, something that occurred down the stretch last season. He is not someone to look at right now in fantasy, but if the Rockets enter full tank mode, managers should make a point of checking in on whether his role has evolved.

Christopher will return to the second unit for Saturday's game against the Pistons, Adam Spolane of Sports Radio 610 Houston reports.
EDGE Analysis
Christopher saw his first start of the season Thursday in place of Eric Gordon (knee) but played just 19 minutes and scored seven points. With Gordon back in action Saturday, Christopher will be relegated to his typical bench role.

Christopher will enter the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Cavaliers, Lachard Binkley of TheDreamShake.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Christopher will step into the first unit for the first time this season with Kevin Porter (foot) and Eric Gordon (knee) sidelined Thursday. Christopher has split time between the NBA and the G League this season and despite the starting spot, should not be expected to handle a massive workload. In his last seven games, the second-year guard has averaged 5.1 points across 12.2 minutes.

Christopher closed Saturday's 113-104 loss to the Timberwolves with 10 points (5-9 FG, 0-1 3Pt), four rebounds, one assist, two blocks and one steal over 15 minutes.
EDGE Analysis
Christopher played at least 15 minutes for just the fourth time all season, delivering a well-rounded performance. This was the first time he has scored double-digits since April of last year, a huge red flag for anyone intrigued by this effort. At this point, there is no indication he will be anything more than a last resort moving forward, making him a non-factor across all fantasy formats.

Christopher was reassigned to the G League on Friday, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
Christopher has spent most of his time in 2022-23 with the Rockets but was sent down to the G League affiliate briefly last week as well. He hasn't appeared in any of the last three games for Houston, so he may just be heading to the Vipers to knock off some rust, and it seems unlikely his stay will be long.

The Rockets recalled Christopher from the G League's Rio Grande Valley Vipers on Sunday, Lachard Binkley of TheDreamShake.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 2021 first-round pick will likely dress for the Rockets in Sunday's game against the Bucks, though he may not be included in the rotation if the contest is reasonably competitive. The Rockets recently assigned Christopher to the G League in part because playing time has been hard to come by for him at the NBA level this season.

The Rockets Ben DuBose of USA Today Christopher to the Rio Grande Valley Vipers of the G League on Friday.
EDGE Analysis

Christopher (foot) won't be available for Thursday's contest against the Spurs, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
Christopher will miss his eighth game of the season Thursday, as the guard is dealing with a left foot contusion. The 20-year-old is averaging 7.2 minutes a game this season and has seen his role decrease after a rookie season where he averaged 18.0 minutes. Christopher's absence won't have much of an impact on the Rockets' rotation Thursday against San Antonio.
