Rockets' Jeff Green: Scores 21 points off bench in win
Rotowire
Green chipped in 21 points (7-14 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 3-3 FT), four rebounds, one assist and two blocks across 25 minutes during Saturday's 147-119 victory over Utah.
Green had the chance of playing extra minutes since Jabari Smith was ejected in the first half, and the veteran forward took advantage of the opportunity to deliver a season-high mark in scoring. Green has now scored in double digits in three consecutive games, and he could be in line for a slight uptick in his playing time down the stretch, though it'd probably not be enough to produce a drastic boost in his fantasy upside.
Green (knee) is available for Friday's tilt against the Trail Blazers, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Green is set to return from a one-game absence due to left knee soreness. Barring any setbacks, the veteran forward should take on his usual role providing depth for Houston.

Rotowire
Green notched 19 points (6-10 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 3-5 FT), six rebounds, two assists and one block across 31 minutes during Saturday's 122-113 loss to Atlanta.

Rockets' Jeff Green: Starting Wednesday
Rotowire
Green will move into the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against Portland, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Green is getting the spot start with Jabari Smith Jr. (ankle) watching from the sidelines, and he'll be joined in the first unit by Fred VanVleet, Jalen Green, Dillon Brooks and Alperen Sengun. Amen Thompson and Cam Whitmore will return to the second unit, but they should still factor prominently in the roation with Smith out. Green might be worth a dice roll in daily leagues with the starter designation and a favorable matchup versus Portland.
