Rotowire
Green recorded 15 points (4-8 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 3-3 FT), six rebounds and one assist over 32 minutes during Monday's 118-99 loss to the Magic.

The 26-year-old marksman has been sidelined by a shoulder sprain for three straight games, and he doesn't appear to be fully recovered from the injury quite yet.

Rotowire
Green racked up 12 points (4-6 FG, 4-6 3Pt), five rebounds, eight assists and two steals over 36 minutes during Wednesday's 106-103 loss to the Heat.
Green was sharp from beyond the arc and finished just two dimes away from recording a double-double, as he took a bigger role in the playmaking department with Ryan Rollins attempting 20-plus shots once again. The eight assists were a season-high mark for Green, who has scored at least 12 points in five of his previous seven outings as well.

Rotowire
Green totaled 15 points (5-12 FG, 5-10 3Pt), two rebounds and two assists over 28 minutes during Saturday's 129-116 loss to the Pistons.
Green did all of his damage from the three-point range, and that's where the four-year veteran makes a living on offense. Green has scored in double digits in five of his last seven appearances, and he's drained two or more threes six times over that stretch. He doesn't bring much else to the table, but Green could be a solid streaming option for managers in category-based leagues who need more triples.

Bucks' AJ Green: Reaches double figures in loss
Rotowire
Green chipped in 12 points (4-10 FG, 4-8 3Pt), three rebounds, four assists and one steal in 40 minutes during Monday's 118-106 loss to the Cavaliers.
Green found success yet again from beyond the arc, where he did all of his scoring Monday night. He's now 11-for-22 from downtown over his last three appearances, and with Giannis Antetokounmpo (groin) going down and potentially set to miss additional time, Green could be leaned on more heavily on the offensive end Thursday against Philly.
