Career-best performance Monday Green closed with 29 points (10-17 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 6-6 FT), six rebounds and two assists across 37 minutes during Monday's 124-111 win over the Jazz. Impact Green starred in the victory, turning in the best performance of his young career. With both Luka Doncic (heel) and the newly acquired Kyrie Irving unavailable, Green stepped into the starting lineup and certainly delivered. His minutes had been trending up prior to the Mavericks' blockbuster trade for Irving, giving hope that Green's role could exceed 30 minutes on a nightly basis moving forward. While Green obviously won't be this good once the team is at full strength, he may be worth a look in 14-team leagues or deeper where he's available. His opportunities to put up shots will take a big hit once Doncic and Irving are both available, but if handed a 30-minute role, Green could be a strong contributor in the steals category.
