Green

Green now has at least 20 points in two of his last three games. The 24-year-old shooting guard has also played at least 30 minutes in three consecutive games, which bodes well for his scoring floor and ceiling going forward. The Suns close out the week against the Hornets on Sunday.

While Green did rack up seven turnovers on Tuesday, the overall stat line was solid. And it was good to see him record another 20-point game, something that had occurred just once in the seven games Green played before Tuesday. During that run, he averaged 13.9 points on 33.1 percent shooting from the field and 20.8 percent from three. Against the Kings, Green was only 2-of-8 from three, but he shot 5-of-8 inside the arc. And having Devin Booker back in the fold should help with Green’s shot quality moving forward.

Green is good to go after being listed as questionable on the initial injury report. Due to the Suns’ many injuries on the perimeter, even more of the offense will run through Green and Collin Gillespie against the Trail Blazers.

Green capped Saturday’s double-overtime win over the Magic with a game-winning three as time expired. Of greater interest to fantasy managers was that he logged 37 minutes, which casts some doubt on his availability for Sunday’s game. Phoenix is already shorthanded on the perimeter, so Amir Coffey will likely enter the rotation, especially if Green can’t play.

Green had to shoulder an extra load on Thursday, as his backcourt mate, Devin Booker, was lost to injury after just nine minutes. Green took the majority of the shots and did a good job of converting efficiently, with his four three-pointers leading to just the second 20-point game of the season for him. Regardless of Booker’s health moving forward, Green will be counted on often when on the court. He’ll have a chance to produce on Saturday against the Magic.

The Suns are without Dillon Brooks, who’s serving a one-game suspension after picking up his 16th technical foul of the season during the team’s final game before the All-Star break. As a result, Green will make his third start of the season and first since November 8.

Like Devin Booker, Green is good to go after sitting out the Suns’ final game before the All-Star break. His return likely bumps Jamaree Bouyea out of the rotation, especially with Grayson Allen also available to play. Bouyea’s availability does not affect fantasy basketball.

Green joins Devin Booker on the sidelines for Wednesday’s game, freeing up minutes among the available Suns players. Jamaree Bouyea may enter the rotation off the bench, but there isn’t much to gain from streaming him.

Green is listed as questionable for Wednesday’s game against the Thunder for right hamstring injury management reasons. The 24-year-old shooting guard has only been playing around 20 minutes per game, so if he’s ruled out his absence won’t have a major impact on the Suns’ rotation.

Booker has played 32 minutes in the two games he’s appeared in since returning from a sprained ankle. While the points output on Tuesday was modest, fantasy managers can still use rebounds, assists, steals, and three-pointers. This is the first back-to-back for Booker since his injury, so fantasy managers should consider him questionable for Wednesday’s game against the Thunder. That also goes for Jalen Green (12/1/4 with two three-pointers), who played 20 minutes off the bench on Tuesday.
