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.
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.

Rockets' Jeff Green: Not on injury report
Rotowire
Green (personal) is not listed in the injury report for Friday's game against the Nuggets.
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's averaging 5.9 points across 14.5 minutes per game off the bench this season.

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

Rockets' Jeff Green: Fails to score in victory
Rotowire
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.
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 but is unlikely to hold any value outside of the deepest of leagues.

Rockets' Jeff Green: Scores in double figures
Rotowire
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.
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.

Rockets' Jeff Green: Tallies nine points
Rotowire
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.
Although Green had limited playing time Wednesday, he was efficient from the floor and flirted with a double-digit scoring total, a mark he's achieved just once this season. Over the first four games of the year, he's averaged 7.3 points and 2.3 rebounds in 17.0 minutes per game.

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

Rockets' Jeff Green: Signs one-year deal with Rockets
Rotowire
Green signed a one-year, $6 million deal with the Rockets on Saturday, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.
Green was a reliable bench option for the Nuggets in their title-winning campaign and should fill the same role with the Rockets, adding some much-needed depth on the frontcourt. Green averaged 7.8 points, 2.6 rebounds and 1.2 assists per game during the 2022-23 regular season.

Green (face) will play in Game 1 against the Timberwolves on Sunday, Harrison Wind of TheDNVR.com reports.
Green sat out game 82 of the regular season with a face contusion but cleared the injury report ahead of Sunday's game. The veteran should be expected to handle a significant role off the bench for the entirety of the Nuggets' postseason run.

Nuggets' Jeff Green: Iffy for regular-season finale
Rotowire
Green (face) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Kings.
Green left Saturday's loss to Utah with a face injury and never return and is in danger of missing Denver's regular-season finale, as well. He's one of numerous regulars listed as questionable, so Denver may roll out a skeleton crew versus Sacramento with the No. 1 seed already locked up.

Green (face contusion) is questionable to return to Saturday's game against the Jazz.
Green took a shot to the face during the Nuggets' penultimate regular-season game and is questionable to return. If he's unable to get back on the court, Peyton Watson, Vlatko Cancar and Zeke Nnaji could each see extra looks.

Nuggets' Jeff Green: Starting at center Sunday
Rotowire
Green will start Sunday's game against the Warriors.
With Nikola Jokic (calf) sidelined once again, the Nuggets will go with their third different starting center in as many games. The rationale for the decision to go small with Green at the five is unclear, but the Nuggets don't have a ton of room to experiment as their lead over the Grizzlies for the No. 1 seed in the Western Conference is down to 2.0 games.

Rotowire
Green posted seven points (3-5 FG, 1-2 3Pt), two rebounds and one assist in 20 minutes during Saturday's 129-106 win over Milwaukee.

Nuggets' Jeff Green: Continues to garner modest role
Rotowire
Green posted three points (1-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds and one assist across 18 minutes during Thursday's 119-100 victory over the Pistons.
Across seven March contests, Green has averaged just 5.7 points, 3.3 rebounds and 1.1 assists in 18.6 minutes per game. With the Nuggets close to full strength, fantasy managers in standard leagues can safely leave Green on the waiver wire.

Nuggets' Jeff Green: Blocks three shots
Rotowire
Green ended Friday's 113-97 victory over the Grizzlies with four points (1-6 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, one assist and three blocks across 25 minutes.
While Green only hit one shot, his activity on both ends was contagious, and he had his fingerprints all over this one. He made the most of his opportunity with Vlatko Cancar (right wrist sprain) out and may have given coach Michael Malone something to think about.

Nuggets' Jeff Green: Finishes with season-high 24 points
Rotowire
Green ended Wednesday's 118-109 win over Dallas with 24 points (11-16 FG, 2-5 3Pt), one rebound, one assist, one block and one steal over 26 minutes.
Green reached double figures in the scoring column for the third game in a row, but Wednesday's performance was much more notable than the 10- and 12-point outings he provided Saturday and Monday. The 24 points were a season high for Green, but the big game came on 68.8 percent shooting from the field and wasn't supported by much production in the peripheral categories. Green can't be counted on to maintain this level of efficiency moving forward, and even if he does manage to do so, he'll be a candidate to see his minutes get cut down once Denver likely gets Jamal Murray (knee) and Aaron Gordon (ribs) back after the All-Star break while also adding Reggie Jackson to the second-unit mix.
