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.

Bucks' AJ Green: Hands out five dimes
Rotowire
Green chipped in 13 points (4-6 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), five rebounds and five assists across 31 minutes during Monday's 129-126 loss to Washington.
Green continues to have a terrific season for the Bucks, and he's becoming a solid secondary playmaker on top of his three-point shooting ability. Through 22 games, he's averaging 11.4 points, 3.0 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 3.4 three-pointers in 29.1 minutes per contest.

Bucks' AJ Green: Hands out eight assists in loss
Rotowire
Green racked up 12 points (4-6 FG, 4-6 3Pt), five rebounds, eight assists and two steals over 36 minutes during Wednesday's 106-103 loss to the Heat.
Green was sharp from beyond the arc and finished just two dimes away from recording a double-double, as he took a bigger role in the playmaking department with Ryan Rollins attempting 20-plus shots once again. The eight assists were a season-high mark for Green, who has scored at least 12 points in five of his previous seven outings as well.

Bucks' AJ Green: Drains five threes in loss
Rotowire
Green totaled 15 points (5-12 FG, 5-10 3Pt), two rebounds and two assists over 28 minutes during Saturday's 129-116 loss to the Pistons.
Green did all of his damage from the three-point range, and that's where the four-year veteran makes a living on offense. Green has scored in double digits in five of his last seven appearances, and he's drained two or more threes six times over that stretch. He doesn't bring much else to the table, but Green could be a solid streaming option for managers in category-based leagues who need more triples.

Bucks' AJ Green: Reaches double figures in loss
Rotowire
Green chipped in 12 points (4-10 FG, 4-8 3Pt), three rebounds, four assists and one steal in 40 minutes during Monday's 118-106 loss to the Cavaliers.
Green found success yet again from beyond the arc, where he did all of his scoring Monday night. He's now 11-for-22 from downtown over his last three appearances, and with Giannis Antetokounmpo (groin) going down and potentially set to miss additional time, Green could be leaned on more heavily on the offensive end Thursday against Philly.

Bucks' AJ Green: Drains five threes Saturday
Rotowire
Green closed with 15 points (5-10 FG, 5-10 3Pt) and three rebounds in 25 minutes during Saturday's 119-95 loss to the Lakers.
Green did a good job of stretching the floor on offense for the Bucks, and his five threes represented a season-high mark. This was Green's eighth game with double-digit points this season -- including his third in the last four games -- and he'll certainly offer some fantasy upside as long as he continues to shoot the ball at an efficient rate. Green is making 43.3 percent of his threes since the beginning of November.

Bucks' AJ Green: Scores 13 points in win
Rotowire
Green logged 13 points (4-9 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 1-1 FT), five rebounds, two assists and one steal across 27 minutes during Monday's 116-114 win over the Mavericks.
The Bucks had to work hard to get the win Monday, and Green certainly contributed to the win after draining four three-pointers, a figure that matched his previous season-high output in that category. This was the first time Green scored in double digits since Nov. 3 against the Pacers. The lack of consistency has hurt his upside a bit, but as long as Green remains in a starting role, he's a player worth either rostering in deep formats or looking closely at as a potential streaming option.

Bucks' AJ Green: Modest output in loss
Rotowire
Green registered three points (1-5 FG, 1-5 3Pt), one rebound, four assists and two steals across 26 minutes during Sunday's 122-115 loss to the Rockets.
Green had his worst game of the season offensively Sunday, as he made only one three-pointer in five attempts. Green is still averaging 10.7 points, 2.3 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 0.4 steals, 0.1 blocks and 3.0 threes made on the season, so expect him to bounce back Monday against the Mavericks.

Rotowire
Green finished with 17 points (6-12 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds and two assists over 30 minutes during Saturday's 135-133 loss to the Kings.
Green continues to make a big impact from beyond the arc, burying at least three treys in his sixth straight game to begin the year. The sharpshooter remains a fine streamer for fantasy teams in need of triples, but he hasn't provided very much else in the box score to be excited about so far. Green has averaged 12.7 points, 2.7 rebounds, 0.8 assists and 3.3 three-pointers in 28.3 minutes per game.

Bucks' AJ Green: Pours in 20 points
Rotowire
Green racked up 20 points (6-9 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 4-5 FT), two rebounds and two assists over 31 minutes during Sunday's 118-113 loss to Cleveland.
Green, who was signed to a four-year, $45 million contract extension over the offseason, is quickly proving his worth to the franchise. Making his third start in a row Sunday, Green once again caught fire from beyond the arc. He looks to be a quality three-point specialist with averages of 13.3 points, 1.7 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 3.3 three-pointers through the opening three games of the regular season.

Bucks' AJ Green: Drains three triples again
Rotowire
Green posted nine points (3-5 FG, 3-5 3Pt), a rebound and a steal over 26 minutes in Friday's 122-116 win over the Raptors.
Green has made three three-pointers in back-to-back games and is shooting at an insane 60 percent clip from beyond the arc to start the season. While his efficiency will not be sustainable long-term, it's great to see Green involved with Milwaukee's offense, and he will be an elite source of three-pointers for fantasy managers all season long.

Rotowire
Green scored 11 points (4-9 FG, 3-8 3Pt) to go with four rebounds, three assists and three triples across 22 minutes as a starter during Sunday's preseason win over the Bulls.
Green started ahead of Kyle Kuzma, who finished with 19 points (7-15 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), five rebounds, one assist and two triples in 18 minutes off the bench. It'll be interesting to see who gets the start in Tuesday's preseason finale with the Thunder.

Bucks' AJ Green: Starting sans Antetokounmpo
Rotowire
Green is in the starting lineup for Monday's preseason opener against the Heat, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports.
With Giannis Antetokounmpo ailing with an illness, Green will step in to fill the void in the first unit Monday. While Green is likely to open the regular season in a bench role, he could still see significant playing time from the second unit once the campaign gets underway.

Bucks' AJ Green: Plays well in new role
Rotowire
Green posted 19 points (6-11 FG, 6-10 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, one assist and one block across 46 minutes during Tuesday's 119-118 overtime loss to the Pacers in Game 5 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.
Green got the starting nod for Game 5 with Milwaukee's season on the line, along with Kevin Porter and Bobby Portis with coach Doc Rivers making several tweaks to his rotation. Green played terrific, but the Bucks let go of a lead late in regulation and overtime as they were officially eliminated. Green was a key rotation player for Milwaukee during the regular season, appearing in 73 games with 7.4 points, 2.4 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 2.1 three-pointers while connecting on 42.7 percent of his three-point attempts.

The third-year guard was Milwaukee's second-leading scorer on the afternoon behind Giannis Antetokounmpo's 36 points. Green has not made a shot from inside the arc in six straight games, recording all his offense during that stretch on three-point attempts. However, he's been extremely efficient -- over eight appearances in April, he's shooting 53.7 percent from long range.
