Jeff Green

Four of Houston's five starters are on the injury report for Monday's game, with Jalen Green being the lone absentee. Since Fred VanVleet (ankle) is out, Thompson and Sengun will have additional playmaking responsibilities if available. Aaron Holiday and Jeff Green are two players who may be asked to do more if Thompson or Sengun cannot play against the Thunder. They have provided limited value when allowed to play extended minutes.

Both Eason and Adams sat out the second leg of Houston's back-to-back on Saturday, but they'll be back to play Milwaukee. Eason's return will take away minutes from Jeff Green and Cam Whitmore, and with Fred VanVleet (ankle) and Dillon Brooks (illness) both questionable, there is a path for Eason to start. With Adams back, Jock Landale will be pushed back out of the rotation.

Tari Eason sitting out Houston's second game in as many nights led to Jabari Smith Jr. moving into the starting lineup, and his absence also freed up rotation minutes for Green. Uncle Jeff made the most of his minutes, missing only one of his seven shots and scoring a season-high 16 points. He has reached double figures in four of his last five appearances, but the inconsistent playing time makes Green a player who should not be rostered in most fantasy leagues.
