Christopher produced 17 points (5-11 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 6-10 FT), one rebound, four assists and one steal over 27 minutes during Wednesday's 124-89 loss to the Cavaliers. He also had four turnovers.

Christopher was a beneficiary of garbage time, with the Rockets down by 30 throughout the second half. The rookie displayed some promising offense, attacking effectively en route to a career-high 10 free throws. Christopher is averaging 5.2 points, 1.4 rebounds and 1.2 assists in 11.1 minutes per game across 20 contests.

The Rockets recalled Christopher from the G League's Rio Grande Valley Vipers on Monday, Danielle Lerner of the Houston Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
Christopher was assigned to the G League last month to pick up playing time after the Rockets didn't have room for him in the regular rotation. The rookie first-round pick will likely dress for Houston's game Monday against the Thunder, and he could be in store for a handful of minutes off the bench while No. 2 overall pick Jalen Green (hamstring) remains sidelined.

EDGE Analysis
Christopher followed up a double-double in his G League debut Wednesday with 29 points, shooting 83.3 percent from three-point range in his second game on Friday. He is one to watch every time he suits up for RGV.

Christopher posted 15 points (6-15 FG, 0-2 3 Pt, 2-2 FT), 11 assists, seven rebounds, two steals and a block across 29 minutes in Wednesday's 134-99 victory against the Austin Spurs.
EDGE Analysis
Christopher was excellent in his first G League game on Tuesday, and the rookie out of Arizona State will likely continue to be a big threat whenever he suits up for RGV.

Christopher was assigned to the Rio Grande Valley Vipers on Wednesday, Cayleigh Griffin of AT&T SportsNet Southwest reports.
EDGE Analysis
Christopher logged eight points in six minutes off the bench in Monday's loss to Boston, but he'll now head to the G League. He should see a larger role with the Vipers.

Christopher ended with eight points (3-4 FG, 2-2 3Pt) over six minutes during Monday's 108-90 loss to the Celtics.
EDGE Analysis
One of the Rockets' four first-round picks in 2021, Christopher hasn't held much of a role thus far, seeing double-digit minutes in only four of Houston's first 17 contests. He flashed some upside as a crafty, one-on-one scorer as a freshman at Arizona State, but Christopher will need some more polishing before he's ready to contribute in that capacity at the NBA level. With that said, he landed in a good spot with the rebuilding Rockets, who could eventually begin handing more minutes to their young players.

Christopher has officially signed with the Rockets, according to Mark Berman of Fox 26.
EDGE Analysis
Christopher excelled in his freshman season with Arizona State, averaging 14.3 points, 4.7 rebounds, 1.5 steals and 1.4 assists across 29.7 minutes per game. He could have a bright future for a rebuilding Rockets team that also has several young players worth keeping close tabs on such as Kevin Porter and Christian Wood, just to name a couple. Christopher is expected to start at the G League level, though.
