Nuggets' Jeff Green: Continues to garner modest role
Rotowire
Green posted three points (1-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds and one assist across 18 minutes during Thursday's 119-100 victory over the Pistons.
Across seven March contests, Green has averaged just 5.7 points, 3.3 rebounds and 1.1 assists in 18.6 minutes per game. With the Nuggets close to full strength, fantasy managers in standard leagues can safely leave Green on the waiver wire.

Nuggets' Jeff Green: Blocks three shots
Rotowire
Green ended Friday's 113-97 victory over the Grizzlies with four points (1-6 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, one assist and three blocks across 25 minutes.
While Green only hit one shot, his activity on both ends was contagious, and he had his fingerprints all over this one. He made the most of his opportunity with Vlatko Cancar (right wrist sprain) out and may have given coach Michael Malone something to think about.

Nuggets' Jeff Green: Goes for 12 points in loss
Rotowire
Green closed Saturday's 112-94 loss to Memphis with 12 points (3-7 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds, one assist and one block across 25 minutes.
The Nuggets had a rough performance on offense Saturday and looked outmatched, but Green was one of the top scoring weapons for Denver despite coming off the bench. He's now scored in double digits in five straight games and is averaging 9.8 points with 2.4 boards across nine February appearances.

Nuggets' Jeff Green: Finishes with season-high 24 points
Rotowire
Green ended Wednesday's 118-109 win over Dallas with 24 points (11-16 FG, 2-5 3Pt), one rebound, one assist, one block and one steal over 26 minutes.
Green reached double figures in the scoring column for the third game in a row, but Wednesday's performance was much more notable than the 10- and 12-point outings he provided Saturday and Monday. The 24 points were a season high for Green, but the big game came on 68.8 percent shooting from the field and wasn't supported by much production in the peripheral categories. Green can't be counted on to maintain this level of efficiency moving forward, and even if he does manage to do so, he'll be a candidate to see his minutes get cut down once Denver likely gets Jamal Murray (knee) and Aaron Gordon (ribs) back after the All-Star break while also adding Reggie Jackson to the second-unit mix.

Nuggets' Jeff Green: Scores seven off bench
Rotowire
Green closed with seven points (3-6 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds and one assist in 12 minutes during Thursday's 115-104 loss to Orlando.
Green logged his second-lowest minutes total of the season Thursday, but he led the Nuggets' bench players in scoring while also grabbing three rebounds for a third consecutive game. He's been held to single-digit scoring totals in eight of his 10 appearances since returning to the court in mid-January, and he's averaged 6.7 points and 1.9 rebounds in 17.9 minutes per game during that time.

Nuggets' Jeff Green: Logs 18 minutes in return
Rotowire
Green finished Friday's 134-111 win over Indiana with six points (2-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-4 FT), two rebounds, three assists and two steals across 18 minutes.
Green returned after missing almost a month of action due to a hand injury, ending with six points in 18 minutes. The veteran certainly isn't going to blow anyone away with his production, although he certainly provides the Nuggets with a steadying influence off the bench. Unfortunately, his days of being a standard league asset are well behind him, so while it is good to see him back on the court, there is no reason to make any moves based on this.

Green hasn't played since Dec. 23 due to a hand injury, but he'll return to the mix Friday. Given his lengthy absence, it's unclear how many minutes the veteran forward will be able to play, but Denver will presumably have all hands on deck with Nikola Jokic (hamstring) out.

Nuggets' Jeff Green: Out at least a month
Rotowire
Green broke his left hand and sprained a finger during Friday's win over the Trail Blazers and will be re-evaluated in one month, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
Green didn't immediately exit the game and briefly played through the injury, but the Nuggets will ensure he properly recovers over the next four weeks. In his absence, more minutes could be available for Zeke Nnaji, Vlatko Cancar and other wings. Green is in the midst of a quality season, averaging 7.5 points on 52.7 percent shooting, 2.8 rebounds and 1.1 assists in 19.4 minutes.

Nuggets' Jeff Green: Logs 24 minutes despite injury
Rotowire
Green contributed nine points (4-7 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 1-6 FT), two rebounds, one assist, one block and two steals over 24 minutes during Tuesday's 105-91 win over the Grizzlies.
Green played through a back injury in the win, providing some nice low-volume production off the bench. Now firmly in the veteran category, Green continues to be a steady source of points, albeit far from elite. He shouldn't be on the radar in standard leagues, barring multiple injuries to other players, but he can have some backend value in deeper formats on occasion.

Nuggets' Jeff Green: Dealing with back pain
Rotowire
Green is questionable for Tuesday's matchup against the Grizzlies due to low back pain.
Green has appeared in six straight contests since returning from a seven-game absence due to a knee injury. However, the veteran forward may be sidelined again Tuesday after experiencing back pain. Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (leg) and Jamal Murray (knee) are also listed as questionable, so it's currently unclear what Denver's rotation will look like against Memphis.

Nuggets' Jeff Green: Handles backup role in return
Rotowire
Green (knee) played 18 minutes off the bench and contributed seven points (3-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 0-1 FT), one rebound and one assist in Tuesday's 116-115 loss to the Mavericks.
In his return from a seven-game absence, Green saw backup minutes at both forward spots, resulting in Vlatko Cancar (seven minutes) taking on a lesser role. Green is unlikely to see his role expand much moving forward; in fact, it may only get smaller once Michael Porter is cleared to return from his heel injury.
