Pelicans' Javonte Green: Quiet in loss Friday
Rotowire
Green posted seven points (2-4 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds and one block over 28 minutes during Friday's 120-109 loss to the Grizzlies.
Green was a non-factor in the loss, scoring in single digits for the fourth time in the past five games. Despite starting nine consecutive games, Green has struggled to provide much on the offensive end, instead opting to focus on defensive contributions. However, despite being an impactful defensive player, his efforts don't always translate to tangible numbers. To this point, he is averaging just 0.9 steals and 1.2 blocks in 24.3 minutes per game.
Green finished with 15 points (6-9 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-3 FT), four rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal across 20 minutes during Friday's 112-108 loss to the Warriors.
Green was one of three starters who scored in double digits for the Pelicans in this loss, and this was his best scoring output of the campaign. He's been making the most of the opportunity since being promoted to a starting role six games ago, but his upside is bound to experience a regression as soon as either CJ McCollum (thigh) or Dejounte Murray (hand) return to action, something that could happen as early as Monday against the Pacers.

Pelicans' Javonte Green: Scores eight points
Rotowire
Green recorded eight points (3-8 FG, 2-3 3Pt), four rebounds, two assists and three steals across 27 minutes during Monday's 107-105 loss to the Nets.
Green is getting some extra reps in the rotation with so many injuries in New Orleans. He matched his season-high mark of three steals Monday, and he's been hot from beyond the arc with a 55.6 percent mark in six November appearances. His overall production has been limited, however, as he's averaging 5.3 points, 2.5 rebounds, 1.3 steals and 0.8 three-pointers in that span.
Green racked up 11 points (4-6 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds and three steals in 30 minutes during Wednesday's 131-122 loss to the Cavaliers.
With Trey Murphy (hamstring) and Herbert Jones (shoulder) out, Green has received increased playing time in New Orleans' forward rotation. Green is averaging 5.3 points, 3.2 rebounds and 1.4 steals in 21.6 minutes across nine appearances. The veteran is also displaying impressive efficiency, posting 55.2/41.7/91.7 shooting splits.

Pelicans' Javonte Green: Minimal impact Sunday
Rotowire
Green totaled three points (1-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two rebounds, one assist and one steal in 24 minutes during Sunday's 126-111 loss to the Hawks.
Green made his first start of the season Sunday due to the late scratch of Zion Williamson (hamstring), but the former was unable to make a significant impact and delivered a minimal output. Green should return to the bench once Williamson is ready to return, something that might happen as soon as Monday against the Trail Blazers in the second half of a back-to-back set. If that's not the case, Green could remain in the first unit given how depleted the Pelicans are currently.

Green closed Friday's 112-91 Play-In Game loss to the Heat with 12 points (5-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, three assists and two steals over 17 minutes.
Green led Chicago's bench with 12 points, but his effort wasn't enough to help his team advance to the opening round of the postseason. He finished the 2023-24 campaign on a high note by putting up 10 or more points in seven of eight appearances over his final month of action.
