For fantasy managers looking for a stop-gap, AJ Green received a big chunk of minutes off of the bench in their last game, but Kevin Porter Jr. may have earned a shot at more opportunities. Green posted nine points, three rebounds, and two assists compared to Porter's 13 points, two assist, and one steal.

It's unknown how long he'll see limited action moving ahead.
