Eligibility
Availability
Javonte Green scored 20 points (7-11 FG, 1-4 3P, 5-5 FT), with four rebounds and two steals in the Pistons' 127-112 win over the Pacers.
Fantasy Impact
Green now has back-to-back games of 20+ points. It's nice to see, but he's still tough to trust on a given day, given his previous season-high was 11 points.
Green tallied 11 points (4-11 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 11 rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal in 38 minutes during Monday’s 137-135 overtime win over the Wizards. The veteran forward started in place of Tobias Harris and Ausar Thompson, who were both sidelined with ankle injuries, and responded with his first double-double of the season.
Fantasy Impact
Green continues to provide reliable energy and defense when called upon to start. His fantasy relevance hinges on the health of Detroit’s frontcourt, as his minutes and production could dip once Harris and Thompson return.
Javonte Green is close to finalizing a one-year deal with the Detroit Pistons.
Fantasy Impact
Green spent time with the Pelicans and Cavaliers and will now find his way to Detroit. His defensive skills should help boost the Pistons in that regard, further helping their case as a potential sleeper candidate after a promising playoff run in the 2024-25 season. For fantasy he doesn’t bring too much to the table, so he’s just a name to keep an eye on for expanded roles should injuries occur.
Javonte Green ended up hitting his only 3-pointer attempt in Tuesday's 109-104 win against the Brooklyn Nets.
Fantasy Impact
Green, acquired from the New Orleans Pelicans in late February, has appeared in three games in March, averaging 5.7 PPG with six of his seven rebounds in the month coming March 4 in extended run in Chicago. Green isn't someone worth bothering with in most fantasy leagues.
Javonte Green has agreed to a contract buyout with the Pelicans and intends to sign with the Cavaliers.
Fantasy Impact
Green has made 18 starts across 50 games this season with New Orleans. He'll add help defensively for Cleveland, but likely won't be on the fantasy radar.
