Green finished with eight points (2-6 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-4 FT), five rebounds, one assist, one block and three steals over 31 minutes during Wednesday's 109-94 loss to Houston in Game 2 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
Green wasn't able to pick up the slack for Golden State following the injury suffered by Jimmy Butler (pelvis) eight minutes into Game 2. However, he did tie a game-high for steals, with Houston's Fred VanVleet and Jalen Green also coming away with three swipes. If Butler is limited or can't play moving forward, head coach Steve Kerr will likely look to Green to step up, as the series is now tied at one game apiece.

Rotowire

Warriors' Draymond Green: Double-digit dimes in Play-In win
Rotowire
Green posted four points (1-5 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, 10 assists, one block and three steals in 31 minutes before fouling out of Tuesday's 121-116 Play-In Game win over the Grizzlies.
With Jimmy Butler and Stephen Curry combining for 75 points, Green was able to concentrate on his supporting duties as he led the Warriors in assists and tied Butler for the team led in steals on the night. It's the first time the veteran center had supplied double-digit dimes since he recorded a triple-double April 1, in a game that was also against Memphis. Green might need to be more disciplined when the playoffs proper begin, and Golden State takes on a young and hungry Houston squad in the first round.

Warriors' Draymond Green: Goes to locker room

He was replaced by Kevon Looney at the 6:22 mark, and Green went to the locker room after a quick conversation with trainers. Looney and Jonathan Kuminga would likely see an uptick in playing time if Green is unable to return to Sunday's contest.

Warriors' Draymond Green: Fills up stat sheet in loss
Rotowire
Green logged 13 points (4-7 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), nine rebounds, eight assists, one block and two steals in 33 minutes during Wednesday's 114-111 loss to the Spurs.
Green came tantalizingly close to a triple-double during the shocking loss, and his clutch free throws in the final seconds gave the Warriors a chance to take it to overtime. Harrison Barnes thwarted that wish, and the result is a potential drop into the play-in tournament. Luckily for the Warriors, the hot-headed Green has managed to stay out of trouble and will be a full participant as the team makes a final push to improve their postseason outlook.

Rotowire
Green accumulated 13 points (4-12 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 10 rebounds, 12 assists, one block and two steals across 33 minutes during Tuesday's 134-125 win over Memphis.
Green didn't have a good shooting performance and needed 12 shots to score 13 points, mainly due to his struggles from the three-point line. However, the veteran forward found a way to make his presence felt in other areas and finished with his second triple-double of the campaign. Green, who was recently named the Defensive Player of the month in the Western Conference for the games played in March, is averaging 10.6 points, 6.2 rebounds, 5.0 assists, 1.9 steals and 1.4 blocks per contest over his last 10 contests.

Rotowire
Green chipped in six points (2-6 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, six assists, one block and two steals across 25 minutes before fouling out of Friday's 111-95 victory over the Pelicans.
The Warriors cruised to an easy win Friday on the heels of the performances from Stephen Curry and Jimmy Butler, but the Warriors wouldn't be where they are right now in the standings if it weren't for Green's contributions. His numbers don't jump off the page, but the veteran has been putting up excellent figures across the board, sometimes as a scorer but more often than not as a defender and playmaker. Green has been averaging 9.9 points, 6.9 rebounds, 5.9 assists, 1.9 steals and 1.0 blocks per game since the beginning of March.

With Stephen Curry (rest) sidelined, Green wasn't able to capitalize on the increased offensive usage. He stepped it up defensively, however. This was his fourth game of the season with at least four blocks. His defense is a big reason why his fantasy value is trending up. Over his last 10 games, Green has been a fifth-round value in nine-category formats with 10.5 points, 7.3 rebounds, 6.3 assists, 1.8 steals and 1.2 blocks.
