14 Gerald Green SG

Green will pick up the start in Tuesday's preseason matchup against the Shanghai Sharks, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.

The Rockets are set to be severely short-handed Tuesday, with eight total players sitting out with injury or for rest. One of those inactives is starting center Clint Capela (hand), which opens up a spot in the top unit. The Rockets will shift P.J. Tucker over to center to make up for that loss and then Green will get the start alongside the rest of the top unit which includes Chris Paul, James Harden and James Ennis.

Green had 13 points (4-7 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, one assist, and one steal in 22 minutes during Sunday's 108-93 preseason victory over the Spurs.

Green returned after missing the previous game due to a dental procedure and slotted right in where he left off. He is likely going to be a player who is called upon throughout the season as an offensive spark off the bench. Outside of his limited skill set, Green offers very little in the way of fantasy production leaving him as simply a three-point streaming option in most formats.

Green (teeth) will play in Sunday's preseason game against the Spurs, Rockets' play-by-play announcer Craig Ackerman reports.

Green missed Thursday's exhibition following a dental procedure, but is feeling healthy enough to get back on the floor Sunday. He'll slot into his typical reserve role, operating as a scoring and three-point specialist with the reserves.

Green recently had a dental procedure performed and has been ruled out for Thursday's preseason matchup with the Pacers, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Considering Green simply had a tooth extracted, he shouldn't be sidelined for long and could be back in the lineup as soon as Sunday's tilt with the Spurs. Either way, he's not expected to miss any regular season time and he should once again provide scoring depth on the wing once healthy.

Green and the Rockets agreed Sunday on a one-year, $2.39 million contract, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.

The Rockets will bring Green back at the veteran's minimum after he distinguished himself on the team's second unit last season. He appeared in 41 games for Houston, averaging 12.1 points -- his most since the 2013-14 campaign -- 3.2 rebounds and 2.7 three-pointers in 22.7 minutes per contest. Green could be pressed into an even larger role in 2018-19 if the Rockets don't address the void at small forward created by the departure of starter Trevor Ariza, who agreed to a one-year deal with Phoenix when free agency opened.
