Jeff Green's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Houston Rockets forward Jeff Green will move into the starting five ahead of Thursday's game against the Sacramento Kings. The veteran forward will shift into the starting unit with Fred VanVleet (personal) unavailable for this game. The absence of Vanvleet means that Amen Thompson will likely take over as the primary ball handler. Green hasn't seen a consistent role in the rotation this season, but he did play 20 minutes during their last contest. He doesn't really bring enough to the table at this point in his career to be considered a reliable fantasy option.

Houston Rockets forward Jeff Green (knee) is in danger of missing his second consecutive game since he's listed as questionable with knee pain. The veteran forward has only been a streaming option this year as his minutes would go up once the Rockets started suffering more injuries. As long as the main rotation is healthy, Green hasn't received enough opportunities to make him a quality fantasy play. If he's unable to play, Jabari Smith Jr. and Cam Whitmore should both get a slight boost in minutes while Jae'Sean Tate could see some more opportunities off of the bench.

Houston Rockets forward/center Jeff Green (knee) won't be in the lineup as the team completes a back-to-back set against the Clippers on Wednesday. The veteran has come through previous back-to-backs with no issues, but left knee pain will end his run of 19 consecutive appearances. Green logged only six minutes against San Antonio on Tuesday and carries next to no fantasy value, but he's been a great veteran leader for the young Rockets and an extra body to throw into action if needed. The 37-year-old will get his first chance to return to action on Friday versus Portland.
