Green

Green is good to go after being listed as questionable on the initial injury report. Due to the Suns’ many injuries on the perimeter, even more of the offense will run through Green and Collin Gillespie against the Trail Blazers.

Green capped Saturday’s double-overtime win over the Magic with a game-winning three as time expired. Of greater interest to fantasy managers was that he logged 37 minutes, which casts some doubt on his availability for Sunday’s game. Phoenix is already shorthanded on the perimeter, so Amir Coffey will likely enter the rotation, especially if Green can’t play.

Green had to shoulder an extra load on Thursday, as his backcourt mate, Devin Booker, was lost to injury after just nine minutes. Green took the majority of the shots and did a good job of converting efficiently, with his four three-pointers leading to just the second 20-point game of the season for him. Regardless of Booker’s health moving forward, Green will be counted on often when on the court. He’ll have a chance to produce on Saturday against the Magic.

The Suns are without Dillon Brooks, who’s serving a one-game suspension after picking up his 16th technical foul of the season during the team’s final game before the All-Star break. As a result, Green will make his third start of the season and first since November 8.

Like Devin Booker, Green is good to go after sitting out the Suns’ final game before the All-Star break. His return likely bumps Jamaree Bouyea out of the rotation, especially with Grayson Allen also available to play. Bouyea’s availability does not affect fantasy basketball.

Green joins Devin Booker on the sidelines for Wednesday’s game, freeing up minutes among the available Suns players. Jamaree Bouyea may enter the rotation off the bench, but there isn’t much to gain from streaming him.

Green is listed as questionable for Wednesday’s game against the Thunder for right hamstring injury management reasons. The 24-year-old shooting guard has only been playing around 20 minutes per game, so if he’s ruled out his absence won’t have a major impact on the Suns’ rotation.

Booker has played 32 minutes in the two games he’s appeared in since returning from a sprained ankle. While the points output on Tuesday was modest, fantasy managers can still use rebounds, assists, steals, and three-pointers. This is the first back-to-back for Booker since his injury, so fantasy managers should consider him questionable for Wednesday’s game against the Thunder. That also goes for Jalen Green (12/1/4 with two three-pointers), who played 20 minutes off the bench on Tuesday.

Green is back after a four-game absence. He was under a minutes restriction due to a second hamstring strain, so fantasy managers should expect the same on Saturday. With Grayson Allen (ankle) out, the Suns should not have to make too many changes to the rotation to get Green into the mix.

Green has missed Phoenix’s last four games since taking a hard fall during a January 30 win over the Cavaliers, and he was already having his playing time managed due to a strained hamstring. If he’s able to play on Saturday, Green will likely have his playing time restricted, but it would still help the Suns account for Grayson Allen’s absence.
