The 19 points marked a season-high for Green, who has now scored double-digits in two consecutive games. He can be considered for streaming purposes if Sengun is forced to miss more time.

Amen Thompson and Cam Whitemore will return to the second unit, but they should still factor prominently in the roation with Smith out. Green might be worth a dice roll in daily leagues with the starter designation and a favorable matchup versus Portland.
