Jeff Green Fantasy Stats

The Houston Rockets have agreed to a deal with forward Jeff Green. The veteran forward has agreed to a one-year, $9.6 million deal for the 2024-2025 season. Green averaged 6.5 points, 2.3 rebounds through 78 games with the Rockets last season. He only played an average of 16.8 minutes per game, which will possibly decrease next season. The Rockets frontcourt is getting more crowded, so this looks like nothing more than a depth move for Houston.

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.

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.

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 man Victor 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=20 While 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 Dillon Brooks, Jock Landale, Jeff Green, Aaron Holiday, and Darius Days. However, the biggest acquisition for the franchise during free agency was Fred VanVleet. https://twitter.com/MikeAScotto/status/1678517502203027457?s=20 The 29-year-old had a slow start to his career. But he elevated his game to another level in the last few seasons. VanVleet finished the 2022-23 season by averaging 19.3 points and 1.8 steals. He also logged 7.2 assists and appeared in 69 games, both career highs. The Rockets are thrilled to have him, and his leadership and experience should help guys like Jabari Smith Jr., Tari Eason, Alperen Sengun, and Jalen Green be even more productive.   Bruce Brown - Indiana Pacers Indiana is another team that struggled last season, finishing 35-47. Although it's safe to say the team underperformed, there were still plenty of positive developments. For starters, Tyrese Haliburton had a breakout season, averaging 20.7 points, 10.4 assists, 1.6 steals, and shooting 40.0% from behind the three-point line. At the same time, Bennedict Mathurin and Andrew Nembhard, both drafted in 2022, showed accelerated signs of growth. But with a new season on the horizon, the Pacers will at least attempt to get a play-in opportunity. There's a good possibility that could happen, especially since the Bulls, Raptors, and Nets could take a step backward. Like any team looking to improve, the Pacers made some moves to bolster the roster. Indiana added Jarace Walker and Ben Sheppard via the 2023 NBA Draft while acquiring Obi Toppin from the Knicks. However, the most significant acquisition was signing Brown to a two-year, $45 million contract. https://twitter.com/wojespn/status/1674905312967442432?s=20 Brown has flown under the radar throughout his NBA career. He's stayed relatively healthy, which is always a good thing, and was instrumental in helping the Nuggets finish as the best team in the National Basketball Association. Brown appeared in 80 games for Denver in 2022-23 and averaged a career-high 11.5 points. He also averaged nearly 14 points per game in 31 starts, proving his value, regardless of his role. Indiana has wiggle room as it relates to its starting lineup. https://twitter.com/PacersStatsMuse/status/1677014991969345558?s=20 The club is loaded with versatility, with guys capable of playing various positions, meaning Brown might not be a consistent starter. On the other hand, the veteran should see minutes comparable to starters on other teams, so he's a guy who will have a significant impact on the Pacers during the 2023-24 campaign.   Kristaps Porzingis - Boston Celtics The Celtics advanced to the NBA Finals in 2021-22, albeit the team lost to the Golden State Warriors. Boston's 2022 offseason was overshadowed by turmoil surrounding Ime Udoka, who was suspended and eventually let go for engaging in a relationship with a female staff member. Yet, the C's were still favorites to return to the NBA Finals under Joe Mazzulla, a first-year head coach. Unfortunately, that didn't happen, and the Celtics lost to the Heat in the Eastern Conference Finals. Without question, Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown did all they could offensively versus Miami. But even they struggled at times, especially from deep. At the same time, Derrick White and Marcus Smart aren't consistent scorers, and Malcolm Brogdon was limited due to injury. Boston needed to go back to the drawing board after the unexpected ousting from the postseason by a play-in team. While Brown's historic contract extension was a significant event, the acquisition of Porzingis may be just as vital to the club's chances of winning a title in the next few years. https://twitter.com/celtics/status/1674512411083063296?s=20 During Porzingis' days with the Knicks, he appeared to be well on his way to becoming at least a top-10 player in the National Basketball Association. But injuries became a common theme through the years. On a positive note, the 27-year-old arguably had his best season in 2022-23, averaging a career-high 23.2 points with 8.4 rebounds and 1.5 blocks. Even better, he played 65 games, the most since his sophomore campaign. While Tatum and Brown are still considered the primary scorers in Boston, adding Porzingis will undoubtedly take pressure off them. And his defensive prowess will come in handy when Boston encounters Joel Embiid, Julius Randle, Pascal Siakam, and other bigs from the Eastern Conference, especially if Robert Williams III remains limited from a minutes standpoint.   Bradley Beal - Phoenix Suns The Wizards selected Beal using the No. 3 pick in the 2012 NBA Draft. He has played his entire career in Washington, averaging 22.1 points while becoming an All-Star three times. The 30-year-old is unquestionably one of the best scorers in the league. Even so, injuries have been the norm, with Beal appearing in 60 games or less in each of his last four seasons. https://twitter.com/FanDuel/status/1683484122587463681?s=20 Now with the Suns after being acquired via a trade in the offseason, Beal will have a real shot at winning a championship by joining forces with Kevin Durant and Devin Booker. That said, the first-round pick will need to stay healthy, primarily since the big three (and Deandre Ayton) are mostly surrounded by guys who signed minimum contracts.   Thomas Bryant - Miami Heat Without discrediting the Nuggets, it's safe to say one of the reasons Miami lost in the NBA Finals was a lack of big bodies. The team's starting center, Bam Adebayo, is listed as 6'9''. However, some argue he's shorter. While Adebayo is still larger than an average human, he's considerably smaller than some centers around the NBA. The Heat lost Max Strus and Gabe Vincent in the offseason. Despite that, Miami made an essential move by signing Bryant to a two-year deal. He isn't a household name, and casual fans likely wouldn't recognize him. Yet, Bryant gives the team depth in the middle, something it didn't really have over the last few years. https://twitter.com/wojespn/status/1675193225735282690?s=20   Sure, the former Hoosier isn't the best defensive option the Heat could have acquired. On the other hand, he's 6'10'' (maybe more) and weighs 248 lbs., so he's an imposing figure, to say the least. Bryant can shine in multiple areas when necessary, considering he averaged 14.1 points and 8.4 rebounds in 26 starts last season with the Lakers and Nuggets.   Jordan Poole - Washington Wizards Poole had a breakout season with the Warriors in 2021-22 and was rewarded with a four-year, $123 million contract. But, a physical altercation with Draymond Green seemingly derailed his confidence. He averaged a career-high 20.4 points, but he drained only 33.6% of his shots from behind the arc, the second-lowest mark of his career https://twitter.com/ShamsCharania/status/1671959960878456835?s=20 Poole also averaged just 10.3 points and around 20 minutes per game during the postseason, which is not good. He's now in Washington, and although his presence won't make the Wizards a title contender, he should see a significant increase in production.   Donte DiVincenzo - New York Knicks DiVincenzo appeared in 72 games for the Warriors last season. Yet, he came in handy when needed by averaging 10.3 points, 5.3 rebounds, 4.0 assists, and 1.5 steals in 36 starts. The 26-year-old was a target by several teams during free agency. However, he chose the Knicks, signing a four-year deal. https://twitter.com/sny_knicks/status/1677839228837691393?s=20 DiVincenzo probably won't be a consistent producer. However, he should have a prominent role in the rotation. His rapport with Jalen Brunson and Josh Hart, his former Villanova teammates, will make his transition to New York much smoother while making the Knicks a powerhouse in the Eastern Conference.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
