Green finished Friday's 125-104 loss to the Grizzlies with 20 points (7-13 FG, 6-11 3Pt), two rebounds, one assist and two steals over 35 minutes.
As has been the trend all season long, Green made most of his damage from three-point range, and he tied his previous season-best scoring mark, which was established on Oct. 26 in a loss to the Cavaliers. Green is an outstanding three-point shooter, and he excels in that category for fantasy purposes. He's drained five or more threes in six different games this season.

Bucks' AJ Green: Held quiet in return
Rotowire
Green (shoulder) tallied five points (2-5 FG, 1-2 3Pt), two rebounds, one assist and one steal across 24 minutes in Thursday's 111-105 loss to the Raptors.
Green slotted back into a starting role on the wing Thursday after he had missed the Bucks' previous three games while recovering from an AC joint sprain in his left shoulder. After knocking down at least four three-pointers in each of his previous five non-injury-shortened starts, Green didn't see many spot-up opportunities from the perimeter during his time on the court, but both his scoring output and minutes could pick up a bit during the Bucks' upcoming five-game road trip. Milwaukee is expected to remain without Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) for all of those contests and will need several supporting players like Green to increase their production in his absence.

Bucks' AJ Green: Doesn't practice Tuesday
Rotowire
Head coach Doc Rivers said Green (shoulder) didn't participate in practice Tuesday, though there's a chance he could return Thursday against Boston, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports.
Green sustained a left shoulder contusion in Friday's loss to the 76ers and is in jeopardy of missing his second consecutive contest. While his absence from practice doesn't bode well for his chances of playing Thursday, his status will be worth monitoring. If the sharpshooter remains sidelined, Gary Trent, Gary Harris and Kyle Kuzma are candidates for increased roles.

Bucks' AJ Green: Questionable for Saturday
Rotowire
Green (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game in Detroit, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports.
Green exited Friday's loss to the 76ers with the shoulder injury, and now he's in danger of missing Saturday's game. With Saturday's game coming as the second in a back-to-back set, the Bucks won't host a shootaround, so Green will essentially be a game-time call. If he's unable to give it a go, Kyle Kuzma could get a start and there would be more minutes available for Gary Trent and Gary Harris.

Rotowire

Bucks' AJ Green: Leaves for locker room
Rotowire
Green (undisclosed) exited to the locker room in the second quarter of Friday's game against the 76ers, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports.
Green collided with an opposing player on a screen earlier in the half but was able to stay in the game until checking out with 2:13 remaining. If the sharpshooter is unable to return for the second half, Kyle Kuzma, Gary Trent and Gary Harris are candidates for increased minutes.
Green chipped in 19 points (6-12 FG, 5-11 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, two blocks and one steal across 40 minutes during Wednesday's 113-109 win over the Pistons.
The fourth-year wing continues to thrive from long distance. Green has drained at least four three-pointers in five straight games and eight of the last 10, averaging 13.4 points, 4.2 treys, 3.6 boards, 2.5 assists and 0.8 steals in 32.3 minutes during the latter stretch while shooting 51.2 percent from the floor and 52.5 percent from beyond the arc. With Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) exiting Wednesday's game early and likely facing some kind of absence, Green's secondary scoring will become even more important for the Bucks.
