Houston's Jalen Green is figuring out the one factor that held him back from reaching his star potential: consistency. If he can keep his momentum going, he'll become a problem for the rest of the league.

Jalen Green is having another one of his smoldering stretches for the Houston Rockets. Over eight games in January, Green is averaging 30.2 points on 52/48/92 shooting splits. That 48% from 3 is coming on more than nine attempts per game.

Houston Rockets guard Jalen Green had a somewhat slow start to the NBA's 2024-25 regular season, but things are escalating very quickly as the calendar turns to 2025.

With 27 points for the game on elite efficiency and 8 in the fourth quarter, Houston won at Memphis to extend its lead for the No. 2 seed in the West.

It's tough to get Ime Udoka to laugh on the bench, but Russell Westbrook succeeded when he called Jalen Green a little kid. Westbrook had a good reason, too.

Rockets Amen Thompson had the funnest quote of the night about Jalen Green with a smile on his face: “You see what Jalen did tonight, unguardable, unless it’s me, you can tell him that.” #Rockets #Sarge @TheRocketsWire pic.twitter.com/KWdJU6nz9G Thompson's bravado may be startling. He's also not wrong.

In his fourth NBA season, Jalen Green has finally seen his hardcourt talent translated into winning ways for the Houston Rockets.

The first choice for Houston's representation in the All-Star Game is Alperen Sengun, who has shown more consistency throughout the season. He's averaging 19.3 points, 10.5 rebounds, and 5.0 assists this season. However, Green has a case as well, seeing as how he leads the Rockets in points per game.

The Houston Rockets are led by a stout defense, a versatile supporting cast and two rising stars. But Alperen Şengün is still way ahead of Jalen Green.

Despite their strong record and Green’s breakout, skepticism lingers over whether the Rockets' success is sustainable. Young teams often face growing pains in the playoffs, where experience and composure are critical. If the Rockets falter early, it could validate concerns that they should have pursued a star to pair with their youthful core.
