Jalen Green holds key to Rockets' ceiling, but how long will this latest hot streak last?

We've seen this kind of stretch before from Green, but it has never totally sustained

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. 

Last Monday, Green put 42 on the Grizzlies. On Wednesday, he gave Denver 34. Then it was 28 in an overtime loss to Sacramento as he refused to let Houston go quietly, sandwiching 57 feet worth of 3-pointers around a tough finish at the rim over two defenders at their peak inside the final two minutes. Houston's back-to-back on Saturday posed no problem for Green, who went for another 28 in a win against Portland. 

Green has made at least four triples in each of his last eight games, over which he's averaging over 30 points while registering 54/51/94 shooting splits for an incendiary 70.4 true-shooting clip.
