Green provided two points (1-1 FG), one block and one steal across five minutes during Thursday's 109-97 win over the Pelicans.
Green, who has made a total of eight appearances since the beginning of February, remains a non-factor in most fantasy formats as he continues to struggle to crack this rotation. In two March appearances, Green has logged a total of 21 minutes.

Rockets' Jeff Green: Connects on four triples Saturday
Rotowire
Green had 16 points (6-8 FG, 4-6 3Pt), one rebound and two assists in 22 minutes during Saturday's 124-115 loss to the Jazz.
Green has been in and out of the Rockets' rotation this season, but he played a more prominent role Saturday due to the absences of Tari Eason (lower leg), Jae'Sean Tate (back) and Steven Adams (ankle). Green took advantage of the opportunity by connecting on a season-high four three-pointers and finished as Houston's leading bench scorer. The veteran forward's playing time will hinge on the availability of others, so the Rockets' injury report will be worth monitoring heading into Tuesday's game against the Bucks.

Rockets' Jeff Green: Steps up with 14 points off bench
Rotowire
Green produced 14 points (4-7 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 6-7 FT), five rebounds and one assist across 19 minutes during Sunday's 94-87 victory over the Raptors.
Green's 14 points established a new season-high output Sunday. Although it was his first game action since a Feb. 1 loss to Brooklyn, the veteran forward's performance is worth noting after Alperen Sengun left the contest due to a back injury. While Green could see an uptick in playing time if Sengun and Steven Adams (ankle) are out for Wednesday's matchup against Phoenix, his fantasy value is highly limited at this stage of his career.

Rockets' Jeff Green: Starting Friday against Boston
Rotowire
Green is in the Rockets' starting lineup for Friday's game against the Celtics, Lachard Binkley of SI.com reports.
Green has appeared in just nine games off the bench this season and is averaging 6.1 minutes per contest. However, the veteran forward will make his first start of the 2024-25 regular-season Friday due to Jabari Smith being sidelined with a fractured left hand. It'll likely be Green's only start in the short term, as Ausar Thompson is expected to enter the starting lineup once he finishes out his two-game suspension.
Green (rest) is available for Wednesday's preseason game against the Thunder.
Green missed the Rockets' preseason game Monday for rest purposes, but the veteran is back in action Wednesday.

Rockets' Jeff Green: Won't play Monday
Rotowire
Green (rest) will not play in Monday's preseason game against the Jazz, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Green will be in street clothes Monday, and his next opportunity to suit up will be Wednesday against the Thunder. Green averaged 6.5 points and 2.3 rebounds across 16.8 minutes per game during the 2023-24 regular season.
Green will come off the bench Sunday versus Dallas.
Green picked up a spot start in Friday's loss to Miami while Amen Thompson was sidelined due to ankle and finger injuries. However, Thompson will return to action Sunday, relegating Green to the second unit.
