Christopher logged 16 points (6-11 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal in 28 minutes during Monday's 123-106 loss to Miami.
EDGE Analysis
Christopher scored in double figures for the first time since Feb. 17 and scored his most points since Feb. 4. While Garrison Mathews drew the start with Eric Gordon (rest) out, Christopher played more minutes than Mathews and significantly outproduced him as a reserve. The rookie out of Arizona State will look to build off Monday's performance against the Lakers on Wednesday.

Christopher posted eight points (4-6 FG), four rebounds and two assists across 17 minutes during Sunday's 123-112 victory over the Grizzlies.
EDGE Analysis
Christopher failed to see more than 20 minutes for the fifth time in his last six games as his fantasy value continues to plummet. The fact he has been unable to step things up, even with Dennis Schroder on the sideline, does not bode well for his role moving forward. Barring a number of injuries to key players, Christopher can be safely left on the wire in all moderately shallow formats.

Christopher recorded 13 points (5-12 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, four assists and three steals in 26 minutes during Thursday's 142-111 loss to the Clippers.
EDGE Analysis
The Rockets trailed big for much of the contest, giving Christopher the opportunity to see more than his usual amount of time on the court. He responded with his highest scoring effort since Feb. 4, which happened to be the last time he played more than 25 minutes prior to Thursday. Christopher has flashed potential when presented the opportunity this season -- he is averaging 16.1 points, 1.7 three-pointers and 1.8 steals per 36 minutes on the campaign.

Christopher racked up 23 points (7-13 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 7-8 FT), five rebounds, four assists and three steals in 29 minutes during Friday's 131-106 loss to the Spurs.
EDGE Analysis
Christopher came out of nowhere to deliver his best scoring output of the campaign, but that wasn't enough as the Spurs raced out to a comfortable victory. Even though Christopher remains in a reserve role and that's not likely to change, it's worth noting that he's scored in double digits in four of his last five contests, so an uptick in his minutes might be happening sooner than later.

Christopher (thigh) is listed as available for Friday's tilt against the Trail Blazers, Mark Berman of Fox 26 Houston reports.
EDGE Analysis
Christopher was considered probable heading into the evening, so no surprise here. He has averaged 16.8 minutes in a reserve role over the previous five games.

Christopher is probable for Friday's game against the Trail Blazers with a bruised left thigh, Mark Berman of Fox 26 Houston reports.
EDGE Analysis
Christopher was initially absent from Friday's injury report, but his availability is now in question due to the thigh injury, though he's still expected to be available. He's averaged 6.6 points, 2.2 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 1.0 steals in 16.8 minutes off the bench over the past five games.

Christopher supplied 13 points (3-10 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 4-6 FT), two rebounds, two assists and one steal in 23 minutes during Monday's 111-91 loss to the 76ers.
EDGE Analysis
Christopher excelled in garbage time once again, as the 2021 first-round pick played the entire fourth quarter in another blowout loss for the team.

Christopher had 19 points (8-13 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, four assists and two steals in 27 minutes during Sunday's 141-123 loss to Minnesota.
EDGE Analysis
Christopher has been an inconsistent contributor for the Rockets this year, but he shot 61.5 percent from the floor Sunday to post a season-high 19 points in the blowout loss. He's come off the bench in each of the last seven games and has topped 10 points in just three of those appearances.

Christopher recorded 13 points (3-9 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 6-6 FT), two rebounds, four assists and three steals over 21 minutes during Monday's 133-113 loss to Philadelphia.
EDGE Analysis
Despite another unremarkable offensive performance from Christopher, he racked up three steals and has totaled eight over his previous four games. However, he's mired in an 8-for-29 shooting slump. The return of Christian Wood and Kevin Porter (both suspended) will do no favors for Christopher's upside.

Christopher will come off the bench Tuesday against the Lakers, Adam Wexler of Sportstalk 790 Houston reports.
EDGE Analysis
Christopher made his first career NBA start Monday and had six points (2-7 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT) and two assists in 21 minutes. He'll return to the bench Tuesday with Kevin Porter (thigh) and Jalen Green (hamstring) back in action for Houston.
