Green won't play in the season finale Sunday against the Spurs due to rest.
Green is one of several Mavericks players that won't play in the season finale with the team out of playoff contention. He spent most of the campaign as a bench option but still logged 21 starts out of 60 appearances. He ends the 2022-23 season averaging 9.1 points, 3.0 rebounds and 1.7 assists across 25.7 minutes per game.

Mavericks' Josh Green: Resting Friday
Rotowire
Green has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Bulls for rest purposes.
Green hasn't missed a game since mid-December but will be one of several Mavericks sitting out Friday, even though the team hasn't been eliminated from the postseason. Tim Hardaway (hamstring) will also be unavailable, so Justin Holiday, Reggie Bullock and Theo Pinson could see some additional minutes.

Mavericks' Josh Green: Falls short of double-double
Rotowire
Green racked up 10 points (4-5 FG, 2-3 3Pt), nine rebounds, one assist and one block in 31 minutes during Wednesday's 123-119 victory over Sacramento.
Green came within one rebound of registering his first double-double since March 11. He turned in an efficient shooting line by hitting four of five attempts from the field, and he recorded his first block since Feb. 23. Green has scored in double digits in two straight contests but is averaging only 5.1 points over his last seven appearances.

Mavericks' Josh Green: Bounces back vs. Hawks
Rotowire
Green registered 13 points (6-9 FG, 1-4 3Pt), five rebounds, four assists and one steal across 40 minutes during Sunday's 132-130 overtime loss to Atlanta.
Green redeemed himself in Sunday's loss after being held scoreless through 22 minutes Saturday against the Heat. His 13-point showing marks his first time in double figures since March 22, and he made rare contributions on the glass and as a passer after averaging only 2.8 rebounds and 2.1 assists in his previous 10 appearances.

Mavericks' Josh Green: Drills pair of threes
Rotowire
Green posted 12 points (4-8 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, two assists and two steals over 36 minutes during Wednesday's 127-125 loss to the Warriors.
Green turned in a modest showing in a tightly-contested matchup, putting up double figures in the scoring column for the fifth time in six matchups. While he's unlikely to put together many eye-popping performances when both Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving (foot) are available to lead the charge, Green has managed to contribute for his squad across the board during this six-game stretch, as he's averaging 16.3 points, 4.5 rebounds and 3.7 assists in 33.5 minutes over that span.

Mavericks' Josh Green: Hits 20 points in third straight
Rotowire
Green finished Wednesday's 137-128 overtime win over the Spurs with 21 points (9-18 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), seven assists, three rebounds and one steal in 45 minutes.
Green has now reached the 20-point mark in three straight games and is also averaging a respectable 6.0 assists and 6.0 rebounds over that stretch, but the increased production has coincided with both Luka Doncic (thigh) and Kyrie Irving (foot) sitting out all of those contests. The Mavericks' two stars may remain out again in Friday's game in Los Angeles versus the Lakers, in which case Green could make for a strong streaming option. Green's rest-of-season fantasy value is less convincing, however, as he averaged just 3.8 points, 3.0 rebounds and 1.0 assists in 27.8 minutes in the first four games of March, when both Doncic and Irving were available.

Mavericks' Josh Green: Comes through sans two stars
Rotowire
Green posted 23 points (10-15 FG, 3-6 3Pt), seven assists and five rebounds over 27 minutes in Monday's 104-88 loss to the Grizzlies.
Dallas was down its top three scorers in Luka Doncic (thigh), Kyrie Irving (foot) and Christian Wood (foot), and with Tim Hardaway regressing to the tune of 2-for-10 shooting from the field after a string of hot performances, the door was open for Jaden Hardy (28 points) and Green to fill the void on the offensive end. His performance was an impressive follow-up to the 21-point, 10-rebound effort he delivered in Saturday's loss to Memphis, but unless both Doncic and Irving are sidelined again Wednesday in San Antonio, Green is likely to see a big dip in the 25-plus-percent usage rates he's sported over the past two contests.

Mavericks' Josh Green: Grabs first double-double
Rotowire
Green racked up 21 points (9-16 FG, 3-6 3Pt), 10 rebounds and four assists across 34 minutes during Saturday's 112-108 loss to the Grizzlies.
Green came away with his first double-double of the campaign, eclipsing the 20-point mark for the fourth time this season while establishing a new personal high in rebounds. He had failed to produce nine points in any of his last six games while shooting 41.9 percent from the field on 5.2 attempts in 24.8 minutes per contest, but he saw his playing time and usage (25.3 percent) pick up while both Luka Doncic (thigh) and Kyrie Irving (foot) were sidelined. Dallas could get one or both of the superstar guards back for Monday's rematch with Memphis, making it tough to rely upon Green to repeat Saturday's performance.

Mavericks' Josh Green: Quiet despite starting role
Rotowire
Green posted five points (2-3 FG, 1-2 3Pt), five rebounds, two assists and one steal over 32 minutes during Thursday's 133-126 victory over the 76ers.
Green moved back into the starting lineup Thursday, replacing Justin Holiday, who had inexplicably taken his spot for the past two games. While Green was far from productive, he is clearly a better option for the Mavericks, ending as a plus-18 during his 32 minutes on the floor. Holiday logged just 11 minutes off the bench, so this could mean coach Jason Kidd has come to the conclusion that Green should be rolling with the opening five on a nightly basis.

Mavericks' Josh Green: Back to bench
Rotowire
Green isn't starting Sunday's game against the Lakers, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.
Green had drawn eight straight starts, posting 14.8 points, 3.5 rebounds and 2.6 assists during that stretch, but he'll head to the bench Sunday as Justin Holiday draws his first start as a Maverick. Across 31 appearances as a reserve, Green has averaged 8.0 points, 2.4 rebounds and 1.3 assists, so he should still garner a sizable role, though his overall fantasy potential certainly takes a big hit.

Mavericks' Josh Green: Modest production Thursday
Rotowire
Green supplied 11 points (4-8 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), one rebound, two assists and one block over 26 minutes during Thursday's 142-116 victory over the Spurs.
Despite Dallas being close to full strength, Green remained in the starting lineup during the first game following the All-Star break and was one of eight Mavericks to score in double figures. During his recent string of starts, the third-year guard is averaging 14.8 points, 3.5 rebounds and 2.6 assists in 34.4 minutes, but he could be pushed back to a reserve role if Tim Hardaway continues to play at a high level off the bench.

Mavericks' Josh Green: Another solid shooting performance
Rotowire
Green closed Saturday's 133-128 overtime loss to the Kings with 23 points (8-12 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 2-3 FT), five rebounds, one assist and one steal in 40 minutes.
Even though the Mavericks welcomed back superstar Luka Doncic (heel) following a four-game absence, Green continued to see huge minutes. Though Doncic and the newly acquired Kyrie Irving look poised to dominate most of the usage with the first unit moving forward, Green looks as though he may serve as a nearly one-for-one replacement for defensive-minded three-and-D forward Dorian Finney-Smith, who was sent to Brooklyn in the Irving trade. Green may even have a short-term window as the No. 3 option on offense behind Doncic and Irving, as fellow starter Tim Hardaway (hamstring) exited early in Saturday's contest and could miss Dallas' final two games before the All-Star break. Green is now averaging 19.0 points, 4.2 boards, 3.0 assists, 2.2 three-pointers and 0.8 steals in 36.4 minutes over his past five contests while shooting 58.3 percent from the field.

Mavericks' Josh Green: Shoots with efficiency
Rotowire
Green posted 17 points (7-12 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds and seven assists over 38 minutes during Friday's 122-114 win over the Kings.
Green knocked down 58.3 percent of his field-goal attempts and finished in double figures for a fifth straight contest. He's now started four consecutive games for the Mavs, though his time with the first unit will likely come to an end once Luka Doncic (heel) returns to action, which could happen as early as Saturday night in Sacramento.

Mavericks' Josh Green: Moves into supporting role
Rotowire
Green finished Wednesday's 110-104 win over the Clippers with 14 points (5-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), five rebounds, two steals, one rebound and one block in 40 minutes.
After popping for a career-high 29 points in 37 minutes in Monday's win over Utah, Green actually saw an increase in playing time Wednesday, but he attempted 10 fewer field goals. He maintained a middling 12.5 percent usage rate on the night, and though he was efficient with his opportunities, Green's main contributions moving forward may come in the steals category rather than on the offensive end. Green sacrificed some shots Wednesday with Kyrie Irving making his Mavericks debut, and touches on the offensive end could be even more difficult to come by for the third-year forward when Luka Doncic (heel) likely returns to action this weekend in Sacramento.
Green closed with 29 points (10-17 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 6-6 FT), six rebounds and two assists across 37 minutes during Monday's 124-111 win over the Jazz.
Green starred in the victory, turning in the best performance of his young career. With both Luka Doncic (heel) and the newly acquired Kyrie Irving unavailable, Green stepped into the starting lineup and certainly delivered. His minutes had been trending up prior to the Mavericks' blockbuster trade for Irving, giving hope that Green's role could exceed 30 minutes on a nightly basis moving forward. While Green obviously won't be this good once the team is at full strength, he may be worth a look in 14-team leagues or deeper where he's available. His opportunities to put up shots will take a big hit once Doncic and Irving are both available, but if handed a 30-minute role, Green could be a strong contributor in the steals category.

Mavericks' Josh Green: Starting for injured Doncic
Rotowire
Green will start Saturday's game against the Warriors, Mavericks radio play-by-play broadcaster Chuck Cooperstein reports.
Green gets the nod with Luka Doncic (heel) sidelined for the next two games. It will mark just his second start of the season, but in the six games Green has seen 30-plus minutes, he's averaged 15.0 points, 3.3 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.2 steals.

Mavericks' Josh Green: Puts up 15 points off bench
Rotowire
Green had 15 points (7-10 FG, 1-2 3Pt), four rebounds and two steals across 30 minutes during Thursday's 111-106 victory over New Orleans.
Green continues to be a valuable piece off the bench for Dallas and has now scored in double digits in four of his last seven contests. During that stretch, he's averaging 11.0 points, 3.3 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 0.9 steals per game.
