Green was hardly efficient scoring with 21 points on 20 shots, though he was able to make four three-pointers on 10 attempts. The 23-year-old shooting guard contributed in the other categories and was ultimately just two rebounds and four assists shy of a triple-double. Green's fantasy value is ultimately tied to his scoring as he's a top-25 fantasy player when his shot is falling.
Green posted his second straight 30-point game and third across his last five. He's scored at least 20 points in seven of his last eight and has been excellent on offense, save for a six-point showing against the Heat. Green and the Rockets face the Jazz on Thursday, a team he scored 25 against earlier this season and 34 and 41 in two matchups last season.
While Green's point total was impressive, he only shot 33.3 percent from the field. An 11-of-14 night from the foul line boosted the Rockets guard's final tally, and fantasy managers can also benefit from the five assists. Green shot 3-of-12 from three against the Nuggets and is now 16-of-57 over his last five. Three-point percentage is not a scoring category in default leagues, but Green's willingness to take those shots has torpedoed his field goal percentage many nights.
Green and the Rockets have won their last eight games, with a strong second half getting the job done on Wednesday. Green has scored 23 points or more in five straight games, averaging 27.2 points per contest. With the improved scoring, he has provided top-20 value in eight- and nine-cat formats during this stretch. The Rockets play twice more during Week 20, starting with the Heat on Friday in the final game of their current road trip.
