JEFF GREEN NEWS

Won't play Sunday Green is out Sunday against Boston.

Impact Green is dealing with left calf soreness. The 37-year-old will miss just his second game of the season and first since Dec. 6. Green has averaged 5.6 points and 2.6 rebounds in 15.4 minutes per game across his last five appearances, and that vacated role will likely be assumed by a combination of Cam Whitmore and Jae'Sean Tate on Sunday.

Good to go Green (knee) is good to go for Saturday's game against Boston, Jackson Gatlin of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

Impact The veteran was previously considered probable. Green has given the Rockets some quality minutes off the bench, but his workloads could be a bit more sporadic with Dillon Brooks (oblique) back in the picture.

Probable Saturday Green is listed as probable for Saturday's matchup with the Celtics due to both a left knee contusion and an illness.

Impact Green looks to be trending in the right direction, but his final status is unlikely to be confirmed until closer to game time. The veteran forward has averaged 8.0 points, 1.3 rebounds and 0.7 triples across 20.7 minutes over the last six games.

Leads bench in win Green supplied 16 points (5-11 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 4-5 FT), two rebounds, two assists and one block across 34 minutes during Saturday's 112-108 win over Milwaukee.

Impact Green finished tied for second on the team in scoring with Jalen Green in Saturday's win. It was the first time since Dec. 29 that Green has scored in double-digits, and his 34 minutes played was his highest playing time of the season. The 16-year forward out of Georgetown is capable of having nights like Saturday's, but he's averaging just 6.7 points per game on the season.

Gets starting nod Green is in the starting lineup for Friday's game versus Philadelphia, Adam Spolane of Sports Radio 610 Houston reports.

Impact Green and Jae'Sean Tate will move into the starting lineup with Jabari Smith (ankle) and Dillon Brooks (oblique) out. Green is averaging 7.4 points and 1.6 rebounds in 15.1 minutes across his last 10 appearances.

Puts up 16 points in loss Green logged 16 points (4-5 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 7-8 FT) and one assist over 17 minutes during Sunday's 128-119 loss to the Bucks.

Impact The Rockets ran a tight nine-man rotation Sunday in the absence of Amen Thompson (illness). Green has given the Rockets some quality end-of-bench minutes, posting averages of 9.0 points, 2.3 rebounds and 0.7 assists in 17.7 minutes through six December games.

Sees extended minutes in win Green amassed five points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 5-6 FT), four rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal across 27 minutes during Friday's 114-106 victory over the Nuggets.

Impact Green was back in the lineup after missing the previous game due to personal reasons, playing a season-high 27 minutes. Although he didn't do much from a production standpoint, his in-depth knowledge of the Nuggets may have played a part in his expanded role. Given he is outside the top 300 in standard leagues this season, there is no reason to think this turns into anything tangible.

Not on injury report Green (personal) is not listed in the injury report for Friday's game against the Nuggets.

Impact Green missed Wednesday's game against the Thunder due to personal reasons, but the fact that he's absent from the injury report suggests he should be available to feature Friday. Even if that's the case, he's not expected to be a significant player in fantasy. He averages 5.9 points across 14.5 minutes per game off the bench this season.

Out with personal issues Green won't play in Wednesday's game against the Thunder due to personal reasons, Adam Spolane of Sports Radio 610 Houston reports.

Impact Green was previously not listed on the Rockets injury report, so his absence comes as a bit of a surprise. In his absence, Tari Eason and Reggie Bullock are the likely candidates to receive extra action. Green's next chance to play will come Friday at Denver.

Fails to score in victory Green totaled zero points (0-2 FG, 0-2 3Pt) and three blocks over eight minutes during Friday's 105-86 win over the Nuggets.

Impact Green played just eight minutes off the bench Friday, the fewest he has played in almost three weeks. Although his days of being a fantasy contributor are well behind him, he does provide this young Rockets team with a savvy veteran presence. He should remain in the rotation ROS but is unlikely to hold any value outside of the deepest of leagues.

Scores in double figures Green supplied 15 points (5-7 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds, one block and one steal in 26 minutes during Sunday's 107-104 victory over the Nuggets.

Impact Green played a season-high 26 minutes off the bench Sunday and responded with an efficient performance from the floor. Although his scoring output was encouraging against the Nuggets, he's scored in double figures just twice this season and doesn't have enough upside on the boards to make him much more than a streaming fantasy option at this point.

Tallies nine points Green finished with nine points (2-3 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT) and two rebounds in 12 minutes during Wednesday's 128-119 win over the Hornets.

Impact Although Green had limited playing time Wednesday, he was efficient from the floor and flirted with a double-digit scoring total. Over the first four games of the year, he's averaged 7.3 points and 2.3 rebounds in 17.0 minutes per game.

Returns to rotation Green returned to action during Wednesday's preseason game against the Heat.

Impact Green was rested during Wednesday's exhibition against the Spurs. His veteran leadership will be very valuable to Houston's young roster, but his on-court role is likely to be minimal. Green finished Friday's contest with seven points, four rebounds and two assists in 16 minutes.

Sitting out Wednesday Green won't play in Wednesday's preseason game against the Spurs for rest purposes, Jackson Gatlin of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

Impact Green will sit out Wednesday's contest alongside a few of Houston's regulars. However, he is expected to suit up for the team's preseason finale against the Heat on Friday.

Plays five minutes in Game 5 win Green closed Monday's 94-89 victory over the Heat in Game 5 of the NBA Finals with four points (2-2 FG) and one assist across five minutes.

Impact Green appeared in all 20 of Denver's postseason games, but Monday was the first time he failed to see double-digit minutes. The veteran averaged 4.1 points and 1.6 rebounds in 17.3 minutes during the playoffs and is set for free agency this summer.
