In his first season with the Rockets, McLemore appeared in 71 games and posted averages of 10.1 points, 2.2 rebounds and 2.5 made three-pointers in 22.8 minutes per game -- his highest since 2014-15. McLemore shot a career-best 44.4 percent from the field, including 40.0 percent from three on a career-high 6.4 attempts per contest. In his Rockets debut on Oct. 24, House posted six points and one assist in 15 minutes. He made his first start of the season on Nov. 13 against the Clippers, finishing with eight points, five rebounds, one assist and one steal. McLemore reached the 20-point plateau eight times, including posting a season-high 28 points -- with a career-high eight made three-pointers -- in a win over the Raptors on Dec. 5. Two nights later, in a win over the Suns, House went for 27 points with five three-pointers. In a Nov. 30 win over Atlanta, McLemore scored 24 points and grabbed a career-high 13 rebounds on his way to his only double-double of the season.

McLemore began the season with the Kings. That's where he spent the first four years of his career before playing for the Grizzlies in 2017-18. He appeared in 19 games, seeing 8.3 minutes per contest. He averaged 3.9 points on 39.1 percent shooting. He shot 41.5 percent from three on 41 attempts. McLemore often wasn't a part of the rotation and missed some time due to personal reasons. Sacramento eventually waived him in early February. He set season highs of 20 points, three rebounds, two blocks, one steal and one assist. The 20 points he scored ensured that he had at least one 20-point outing in every season of his career. The Kings went on to finish the season 39-43.

During July of 2017, McLemore signed a contract with the Grizzlies after spending the first four seasons of his career with the Kings. However, in August, he suffered a fractured foot during a pickup game. That caused him to miss the first 11 games of the 2017-18 season. He made his season and team debut Nov. 11 during a 15-point loss to the Rockets. He played 18 minutes and posted four points (2-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt), two rebounds, one assist, one steal and one block.

His best shooting month was December. Across 13 games, he shot 55.1 percent from the field and 42.9 percent from distance. Although the Kings finished the season 33-49 and did not make the playoffs, McLemore provided some solid play at times, particularly from beyond the arc.

McLemore appeared in all 82 games for the Kings in 2014-15 -- his second season in a row reaching that mark. This time, however, he started each one, seeing a much bigger role than the one he had during his rookie campaign.
