Fantasy Impact

After missing the game prior, Green returned to the starting lineup to provide some timely shooting down the stretch of the 4th quarter. With the playoffs right around the corner, expect the Lakers to rely heavily on Green’s “3 and D” during their quest for a NBA Championship. Green will continue to be a boom or bust daily fantasy player due the amount of minutes and abilities to catch fire behind the arc.

Danny Green scored six points (2-6 3PT) and snared one rebound in Thursday's 103-101 win over the Clippers.

Fantasy Impact

Green restarted the regular NBA season doing just what's expected of him; playing hard-nosed defense and knocking down open threes. Green isn't much of a fantasy asset anymore. He's averaging the fourth-most minutes on the Lakers (25.1 minutes per game) but is seventh in scoring with 8.2 points. His veteran presence will be great for a Laker's playoff run but he's best left untouched in fantasy circles.

Danny Green was unavailable for the Lakers' first practice due to a glitch in the coronavirus testing procedure.

Fantasy Impact

Green's defensive prowess, along with his ability to contribute to each major statistical category on the stat-sheet, has been a tremendous value-add for the Lakers. This season he has averaged 25.1 minutes of playing time, 8.2 points, 3.4 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 1.2 steals, and .5 blocks per game. Green should be an asset for those playing in a deep-league format.
