Downgraded to out Green (shoulder) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Heat.

Downgraded to questionable Green (shoulder) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Heat.

Impact Green was initially listed as probable due to left shoulder soreness, but his downgrade to questionable puts his availability in jeopardy. Green has missed only one contest since Feb. 10. Nick Smith started that game and scored 11 points in 34 minutes. Smith, Wendell Moore, Seth Curry and KJ Simpson would be candidates for elevated minutes if Green is unable to play Sunday.

Listed as probable for Sunday Green is probable for Sunday's game against the Heat due to left shoulder soreness.

Impact The probable tag suggests Green should play and handle his regular workload once he's ultimately deemed available. The Arizona standout has started in all but one of his 64 appearances this season and is averaging 7.4 points, 2.6 rebounds and 1.6 assists per game.

Held to five points Green notched five points (2-5 FG, 1-4 3Pt) and one assist in 21 minutes during Thursday's 115-98 win over New York.

Impact Green continues to be a non-factor on the offensive end for Charlotte. Despite playing 26.7 minutes per game over his last eight appearances, Green is averaging 5.4 points on 33.3 percent shooting from the field with 2.5 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 1.1 steals and 1.0 three-pointers.

Season-high 20 points in win Green produced 20 points (7-11 FG, 6-9 3Pt), one rebound, three assists and four steals in 28 minutes during Friday's 145-134 victory over San Antonio.

Impact It was a season-high scoring output by Green, who also tied a season best with four steals during this high-scoring affair. The 24-year-old swingman is still averaging only 6.6 points, 2.5 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 1.5 steals and 1.5 three-pointers in 28.7 minutes across his last 13 contests, so Green's fantasy appeal remains limited to swipes and treys in category-based settings despite Friday's outburst.

Muted performance in loss Green closed Wednesday's 123-110 loss to the Hawks with two points (1-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt), three rebounds and two steals across 30 minutes.

Impact Despite a healthy workload, Green wasn't able to make much of an impact on the stat sheet. He's been way too cold from the field to trust in most fantasy formats -- over his last 10 outings, Green has hit 26.9 percent from the field with averages of 4.3 points, 2.6 rebounds, 2.1 rebounds and 1.2 steals.

MARCH 13 • ROTOWIRE

Back in starting lineup Green is in Charlotte's starting lineup against Cleveland on Friday.

Impact Green will return from a one-game absence Friday due to an illness, and he'll be reinserted into the starting lineup while Nick Smith heads to the bench. Green has averaged 7.3 points, 2.0 assists, 2.0 rebounds and 1.4 steals over 28.5 minutes per game since the All-Star break.

Good to go Friday Green (illness) is available for Friday's game against the Cavaliers.

Impact Green will shake off a probable tag due to the illness that forced him to miss Wednesday's loss to the Timberwolves. The 24-year-old forward has appeared in eight outings since the All-Star break, during which he has averaged 7.3 points, 2.0 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.4 steals across 28.5 minutes per contest.

Out vs. Minnesota Green (illness) is out for Wednesday's game against the Timberwolves.

Impact Green will miss a game for the first time since sitting out two contests between Feb. 7 and Feb. 9 due to a calf injury, as he'll be sidelined for Wednesday's clash due to an illness. DaQuan Jeffries and Seth Curry could see more minutes with Green being out. His next chance to play will come Friday against the Cavaliers.

Solid all-around performance Green notched 13 points (5-10 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 0-2 FT), four rebounds, five assists, one block and three steals in 32 minutes during Saturday's 113-100 loss to the Wizards.

Impact Green hasn't been the most consistent offensive weapon for the Hornets despite being a regular starter, but he's managed to score in double digits in three of his previous eight contests. Over that span, he's averaging 9.0 points, 2.1 assists, 1.5 steals and 1.9 rebounds per game. Green isn't expected to be a difference-making player in most fantasy formats, but he could have decent upside as a streaming option in deep formats, particularly in games where the Hornets are shorthanded.

Pops for season-high 19 in loss Green closed Thursday's 129-115 loss to Denver with 19 points (7-13 FG, 5-8 3Pt), three rebounds, two assists and one steal across 27 minutes.

Impact The fifth-year forward produced season highs in points and three-pointers, stepping into a bigger offensive role with LaMelo Bell (ankle) unavailable. Green has attempted 12 or more shots in each of the last two games Ball has missed, the only times he's seen that kind of volume since Dec. 13. Green has scored in double digits in seven of his last 11 appearances, averaging 10.7 points, 2.5 boards, 1.8 threes, 1.5 assists and 1.2 steals in 30.8 minutes a contest during that span, while shooting 53.7 percent from the floor and 45.5 percent from beyond the arc. If Ball needs additional time off to manage his ankle -- Charlotte plays another back-to-back set Monday in Sacramento and Tuesday at Golden State -- Green could be a strong DFS value option.

Logs 34 minutes in win Green totaled four points (2-6 FG, 0-3 3Pt), three rebounds, two steals and one assist across 34 minutes in Wednesday's 100-97 win over the Lakers.

Impact Green started and played significant minutes Wednesday, but didn't see much of a role on offense. Since Brandon Miller's season-ending injury Jan. 17, the 2020 first-round pick has remained a secondary scoring option, but he has seen a slight uptick in production, averaging 9.2 points on 52.4 percent shooting in 13 games.
