Jalen Green’s series against the Golden State Warriors has been disappointing, to say the least. Inconsistency has plagued the 23-year-old Houston Rockets guard from Fresno, Calif., in his first playoff series.

Jalen Green hit a Houston playoff-record eight 3-pointers and scored 38 points in Game 2 win over Warriors, but his defense was just as crucial a factor.

The Houston Rockets are at their best when Jalen Green is being aggressive and leading the team in scoring. As good as Alperen Sengun is as the team’s only All-Star, Green is the X-factor because of his three-way scoring abilities.
