Thu Mar 721:30Jeff Green Questionable With Knee Pain
Houston Rockets forward Jeff Green (knee) is in danger of missing his second consecutive game since he's listed as questionable with knee pain. The veteran forward has only been a streaming option this year as his minutes would go up once the Rockets started suffering more injuries. As long as the main rotation is healthy, Green hasn't received enough opportunities to make him a quality fantasy play. If he's unable to play, Jabari Smith Jr. and Cam Whitmore should both get a slight boost in minutes while Jae'Sean Tate could see some more opportunities off of the bench.

Wed Mar 618:04Jeff Green Sits Out Wednesday's Game
Houston Rockets forward/center Jeff Green (knee) won't be in the lineup as the team completes a back-to-back set against the Clippers on Wednesday. The veteran has come through previous back-to-backs with no issues, but left knee pain will end his run of 19 consecutive appearances. Green logged only six minutes against San Antonio on Tuesday and carries next to no fantasy value, but he's been a great veteran leader for the young Rockets and an extra body to throw into action if needed. The 37-year-old will get his first chance to return to action on Friday versus Portland.

Tue Aug 1 202307:32Biggest Moves of the 2023 NBA Offseason - Fred VanVleet, Jordan Poole, Kristaps Porzingis, Bradley Beal
It's a crazy time of year around the National Basketball Association. Not long after the Denver Nuggets captured the franchise's first championship, French big manVictor Wembanyama was the top pick of the 2023 Draft.While new talent entering the league is all well and good, nothing turns the NBA upside down quite like the beginning of free agency. Since June 30, many notable players have signed with new teams. There were also more than a few significant trades. In either case, at least a handful of clubs will look very different (for the better?) come training camp. Let's take a look at some of the biggest names on the move and how they might affect the NBA landscape this season. 

Fred VanVleet - Houston Rockets

The Rockets entered the 2022-23 campaign as the second-youngest team in the National Basketball Association, and it showed. The club finished with 22 wins and 60 losses, with the Pistons being the only team with a worse record. As a result, the front office made a point to shake things up after the exhaustingly long year came to a close.The overhaul began when Stephen Silas, winning just 59 of his 236 games in Houston, was relieved of his head coaching duties. In his place, Ime Udoka, who helped guide the Celtics to an NBA Finals appearance in his first season, took the reigns. While Udoka's tenure in Boston didn't end on a positive note, he's still regarded as one of the sharpest minds in the league, even by those who lost respect for him on a personal level.https://twitter.com/ShamsCharania/status/1650612243661242369?s=20While having a knowledgeable head coach will help accelerate the growth of an up-and-coming squad, the Rockets needed someone to facilitate things on the floor. With Houston having plenty of cap space entering the offseason, the team signed ... [More]
Mon Jun 5 202315:56Jeff Green Wants To Remain With Nuggets
Denver Nuggets forward Jeff Green recently mentioned that he'd like to finish his career with the organization. The veteran forward said he plans on playing two more seasons and would like to finish his career in Denver. Green is set to become a free agent this summer after spending each of the last two seasons with Denver. He has basically become a role player, but still contributes in limited playing time. He averaged 7.8 points, 2.6 rebounds, and 1.2 assists in 56 games with Denver this season. The 36-year-old is still able to contribute at a decent level, so it wouldn't be shocking to see the Nuggets bring him back again next season.

Sun Dec 25 202208:34Jeff Green Ruled Out For Four Weeks
Denver Nuggets forward/center Jeff Green will be re-evaluated in four weeks after he sustained a left finger sprain and hand fracture Friday against Portland. Green isn't much of a fantasy factor these days anymore, but he's been an important member of the bench unit for Denver, and losing him is a blow for the team. The veteran is averaging 7.5 points per game for the year with 2.8 rebounds in 19.3 minutes of action. Zeke Nnaji is in line to take care of most of the available minutes, and he could have some fantasy appeal if he can carve out a regular role.

Sat Dec 3 202222:34Jeff Green Questionable Against The Pelicans
Denver Nuggets forward Jeff Green (knee) is questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup versus New Orleans. The veteran has missed the previous five games because of a right knee contusion, allowing Vlatko Cancar and Zeke Nnaji to get some extra minutes in the rotation. Green has averaged 7.9 points and 2.6 boards, so he won't offer much to fantasy managers even if he suits up. At the same time, neither will Cancar and Nnaji.

Tue Nov 22 202218:32Jeff Green Sidelined Versus Visiting Pistons
Denver Nuggets forward Jeff Green (knee) won't play on Tuesday against Detroit. He suffered a right knee contusion in Sunday's meeting with Dallas, ending his night after only five minutes of work. With Aaron Gordon (illness) questionable and Nikola Jokic doubtful due to health and safety protocols, Denver may be shorthanded underneath the basket. As a result, DeAndre Jordan, who had 17 rebounds and nine points in 34 minutes versus the Mavericks, could be featured on both ends of the floor. Zeke Nnaji could also get involved, potentially logging around 20 minutes.

Mon Nov 21 202207:36Jeff Green Hurts Knee Sunday
Denver Nuggets forward/center Jeff Green logged just five minutes of action in Sunday's 98-97 win over Dallas, exiting the game with a knee issue. He left for the locker room already in the first quarter with a right knee problem, finishing with four points and one rebound. The Nuggets somehow managed to win this game, but they already have multiple guys out and it's going to leave them in big trouble for the upcoming games if nobody is able to return. DeAndre Jordan has eaten up a lot of minutes lately and picked up 17 rebounds Sunday, while Zeke Nnaji should also get another boost if the frontcourt options remain limited Tuesday versus Detroit.

Sun Jun 19 202223:15Jeff Green Exercises Player Option
Denver Nuggets forward Jeff Green exercised his $4.5 million player option on Sunday, potentially keeping him on the roster for 2022-23. The 35-year-old played a vital role for the club last season due to the absence of Michael Porter Jr. (back), finishing with averages of 10.6 points, 3.3 rebounds, and 1.3 assists throughout 63 starts. If Porter eventually returns moving ahead, the veteran will likely get a consistent role off the bench. However, he may not do enough to make a difference for fantasy managers, although he should get some additional minutes if someone goes down with an injury during the year.

Sat Jun 18 202218:16Jeff Green Expected To Accept Player Option
Denver Nuggets forward Jeff Green is expected to pick up his $4.5 million player option for next season. The veteran forward did a decent job last season in Denver. He averaged 10.3 points and 3.1 rebounds through 75 games. Green filled in nicely with Michael Porter Jr. being sidelined for a majority of the season. However, Porter is expected to be healthy next season, so Green isn't likely to see the same amount of playing time. It's unlikely Green carries fantasy value unless he becomes a starter again.

Tue Apr 5 202220:51Jeff Green Will Miss Tuesday’s Contest
Denver Nuggets power forward Jeff Green (personal) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Spurs. Green's absence marks his second in a row, paving the way for Austin Rivers to enter the starting five this go around. Both Rivers and Davon Reed figure to see increased DFS appeal due to elevated roles, although Nikola Jokic, Aaron Gordon, and Will Barton remain the team's most intriguing fantasy assets without Green. The veteran enjoyed a solid March, having averaged 10.4 points on 55.6 percent shooting. His next chance to return to the floor comes Thursday vs. Memphis.

Thu Mar 10 202221:22Jeff Green Will Return Against Warriors
Denver Nuggets forward Jeff Green (personal) will return for Thursday's game against the Golden State Warriors. He's back in action here after missing Wednesday's contest due to personal reasons. Davon Reed should shift back to the second unit and won't have as significant of a role with Aaron Gordon (foot) active as well. Green isn't worth a look in most standard formats, but could be a possible deep league option for Thursday.

Thu Mar 10 202215:09Jeff Green, Zeke Nnaji Questionable For Thursday
Denver Nuggets forward Jeff Green (personal) and center Zeke Nnaji (knee) are listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Golden State Warriors. The Nuggets could be short-handed here with Bones Hyland (knee) and Will Barton (ankle) questionable as well. Nnaji filled in for Green on Wednesday and played 20 minutes in that contest. However, Nnaji has been dealing with knee soreness, so the Nuggets could rest him on Thursday. JaMychal Green and DeMarcus Cousins could be busier than normal on Thursday. They might have low-end streaming appeal, but that depends on the status of these players.

Sun Jan 23 202218:50Jeff Green Out Versus Pistons
Denver Nuggets forward Jeff Green (quad) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Detroit Pistons. The Nuggets will also be without JaMychal Green due to health and safety protocols. That being said, Zeke Nnaji stands to play significant minutes with the Nuggets having limited options. DeMarcus Cousins is available to make his team debut, but we'll see if he actually suits up. Cousins is too risky to use as a DFS option, but Nnaji could have some low-end appeal.

Wed Nov 24 202108:52Jeff Green Leads Nuggets In Scoring Tuesday Night
Denver Nuggets power forward Jeff Green popped up with a team-high 24 points in Tuesday's loss to Portland, going 9-for-16 from the field and 3-for-4 from outside. He was big on the defensive end as well with three blocks and had three rebounds with four assists and two turnovers in 35 minutes. The Nuggets are battling injuries and it's given the supporting cast a chance to shine. Green also had a nice 19-point outing on Sunday against the Suns. Nikola Jokic (wrist) has missed both of the last two games, so expect Green to keep up his good form if the reigning MVP stays sidelined for the rest of the week.

Wed Nov 10 202120:41Jeff Green, JaMychal Green Both Draw Starts Wednesday
Denver Nuggets power forward/centers Jeff Green and JaMychal Green have both slid into the starting five for Wednesday's contest against the Pacers. With Nikola Jokic (suspension) and Michael Porter Jr. (back) unavailable, Aaron Gordon will slide up to the wing to open the game, allowing the veteran Green's to roam the frontcourt. Both will be solid DFS selections, as they figure to see extended minutes as the team's de facto center without Jokic available. With no further ramifications anticipated for the league's reigning MVP, both Jeff and JaMychal will likely see a downturn in fantasy appeal Friday vs. Atlanta.

Fri Jun 18 202117:26Nets, Bucks hope to avoid early exit in Game 7 on Saturday
NEW YORK (AP) — Brooklyn's blockbuster brought James Harden to play with Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving, creating a team with potential to shoot its way out of any situation. Milwaukee's move gave Giannis Antetokounmpo and Khris Middleton a top two-way guard in Jrue Holiday, who could run his team and slow down the other. Both teams hoped their big trade was the one that would lead to a championship. One of them won't even get halfway there. The Nets and Bucks play Game 7 of their second-round series Saturday in Brooklyn, with the winner moving on to play for the Eastern Conference title and the loser falling well short of expectations. “With everything we’ve built and been through, we got the second seed for this particular reason and we’ve just got to go out there and hoop,” Harden said. “At home. One game.” In a series where the home team has won every game, the Nets hope their strong ending to the regular season pays off now. They won their final five games to finish two games ahead...

Sat Jun 12 202116:14Nuggets face daunting deficit; Jokic faces ignominious exit
Four NHL teams have overcome 3-0 deficits in a best-of-seven playoff series, including the 1942 Stanley Cup champion Toronto Maple Leafs. The Boston Red Sox pulled off MLB's only such comeback against the New York Yankees in 2004. The Denver Nuggets are the 143rd NBA team to go down 3-0 in a best-of-seven playoff series and nobody's ever overcome such a daunting deficit to win four straight. The Nuggets say their only aim is to send the series back to Phoenix with a win in Game 4 Sunday night in Denver. “The last thing I want to see is the Phoenix Suns pushing a broom across our home court,” Nuggets coach Michael Malone said Friday night after Denver's 116-102 loss to the Suns. Malone has said all along the Nuggets could show growth this season after losing a year ago to the Lakers in the Western Conference finals. “We have had a tremendous season, tremendous. I said going into this year you can't judge a season by the end result. ... But the one thing I don't want is for us just to go... [More]
Sat Jun 12 202115:44Nets' Harden out, Green questionable for Game 4 at Milwaukee
MILWAUKEE (AP) — The Brooklyn Nets again won’t have James Harden but could have forward Jeff Green back for Game 4 of their second-round playoff series with the Milwaukee Bucks on Sunday. Nets coach Steve Nash said Saturday that Harden is out and Green is questionable for Sunday’s game. Nash added that both players are “progressing well.” Harden hasn’t played since leaving Game 1 of the series in the opening minute with tightness in his right hamstring. Green hasn’t played at all in the series due to a plantar fascia strain. Green last played in Game 2 of the Nets’ first-round series against the Boston Celtics. The Nets lead the Bucks 2-1 in the best-of-7 matchup. ___ More AP NBA: https://apnews.com/NBA and https://twitter.com/AP_Sports
