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

Milwaukee Bucks guard AJ Green (back) appears to be on track to return to the lineup on Saturday against Portland, with the team listing him as probable for the contest. A back problem took Green out of the lineup for the second time this season when Milwaukee played Brooklyn on Thursday. Green has averaged 7.7 points this season as a three-point specialist. He's nailed 44.2 percent of his attempts from behind the arc. Portland allows the opposition to hit 37.9 percent of shots from outside, the third-highest mark in the league. Thus, this will be a favorable matchup for Green, though his role in the rotation is relatively limited.

Milwaukee Bucks guard AJ Green (back) will not be in the lineup on Thursday against Brooklyn. He will miss his second game of the season, with the team downgrading Green from questionable to out. Gary Trent Jr. figures to fill most of Green's minutes off the Milwaukee bench on Thursday. Following some early-season struggles, Trent Jr. finally found momentum in December, shooting 45.3 percent from deep en route to averaging 11.4 points in 24.9 minutes. However, his impact might be limited on Thursday, as Brooklyn gives up the fourth-fewest three-point attempts in the league.

Milwaukee Bucks guard AJ Green (back) is listed as questionable for Thursday night's matchup against the Brooklyn Nets. Green is dealing with a lower back contusion that may cause him to miss just his second game of the season. The 25-year-old has been a sporadic fantasy option this season, averaging just 7.7 PPG this season while producing mostly from beyond the arc. Green is shooting 44.2% from three but is getting up just 5.1 attempts per game. If active, there's a chance Green could see more playing time if Milwaukee turns the game into a blowout with Brooklyn being on the second leg of a back-to-back. If the 25-year-old can't suit up, expect Gary Trent Jr. to get more volume.
