Green totaled seven points (3-7 FG, 1-3 3Pt), four rebounds, six assists and one block in 33 minutes during Thursday's 120-110 loss to the Bucks.
Green did take a shot to the face during this contest, prompting a trip to the locker room. He returned moments later, however, and it doesn't seem like it will be an issue going forward. Through six regular-season games, Green holds averages of 9.0 points, 7.0 assists, 5.5 rebounds, 0.8 steals and 0.7 blocks in 27.8 minutes per contest.

Warriors' Draymond Green: Near triple-double territory in win
Rotowire
Green supplied 13 points (5-8 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), eight rebounds, eight assists and one block over 34 minutes during Thursday's 137-131 overtime win over Denver.
Green was up to his usual tricks in the Warriors' second game of the season, dropping multi-category production through 34 minutes on the floor. Al Horford's addition was expected to provide some relief for Green, and the rotation seems to bear that out so far. The duo spent about a minute on the floor together during Thursday's game, but Horford has been his direct replacement otherwise.

Warriors' Draymond Green: Flirts with triple-double
Rotowire
Green provided eight points (3-6 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-3 FT), seven rebounds, nine assists, two blocks and one steal over 28 minutes during Tuesday's 119-109 win over the Lakers.
Green looked to be in mid-season form Tuesday, spending time at both power forward and center. He was limited to 28 minutes due to foul trouble, however. At his best, Green can still be a triple-double threat, but his scoring is something that comes and goes. Look for him to be a solid source of rebounds, assists and defensive stats in his age-35 campaign.

Warriors' Draymond Green: Won't go Tuesday
Rotowire
Green will not play in Tuesday's game against the Trail Blazers for rest purposes, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports.
Green will get the night off Tuesday after logging two points, four assists, two steals and one rebound in 22 minutes during Sunday's 126-116 preseason loss to the Lakers. Al Horford (rest) will return to the lineup and could be the main beneficiary in Green's absence.

Warriors' Draymond Green: Season ends with modest performance
Rotowire
Green contributed 10 points (4-11 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six rebounds, six assists and one steal across 36 minutes during Wednesday's 121-110 loss to the Timberwolves in Game 5 of the Western Conference Semifinals.
Despite an improved performance, Green was still somewhat underwhelming in what proved to be the final game of the season. With Stephen Curry sidelined once again due to a hamstring injury, Green was unable to bolster his production. His offensive upside continues to dwindle, averaging just 9.0 points per game across 81 total games this season. With that said, he was able to increase his defensive contributions, averaging 2.5 combined steals and blocks. Age is not on the side of the Warriors, with its three star players all on the wrong side of 35.

Warriors' Draymond Green: Quiet again Monday
Rotowire
Green logged 14 points (6-14 FG, 2-6 3Pt), seven rebounds and two assists in 34 minutes during Monday's 117-110 loss to the Timberwolves in Game 4 of the Western Conference Semifinals.
Green delivered a serviceable effort but ultimately left much to be desired in the Game 4 loss. Golden State has fallen into a hole without Stephen Curry (hamstring) and will need to turn things around quickly. As one of the team's leaders, Green will need to lift his game or the series could be over sooner rather than later.

Warriors' Draymond Green: Struggles with shot in Game 2
Rotowire
Green supplied nine points (3-10 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal across 29 minutes during Thursday's 117-93 loss to the Timberwolves in Game 2 of the Western Conference Semifinals.
Green did a good job as a defensive anchor and playmaker in the absence of Stephen Curry (hamstring), but he had a rough showing as a scoring weapon, finishing with nine points on 10 shots. The veteran forward isn't expected to carry the scoring load for the Warriors. If he continues to deliver solid numbers in peripheral categories, he'll remain valuable in most fantasy formats.

Warriors' Draymond Green: Loaded stat line in Game 1
Rotowire
Green finished Tuesday's 99-88 victory over Minnesota in Game 1 of the Western Conference Semifinals with 18 points (6-13 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, six assists and two steals over 35 minutes.
Green embraced a more prominent role as a playmaker following the exit of Stephen Curry (hamstring), and the veteran forward delivered an impressive stat line while making his presence felt on both ends of the court. Green has surpassed the 15-point mark in each of his last two appearances and is expected to experience a sizable uptick in his usage rate if Curry is forced to miss time, which is the most likely scenario.
Green totaled 16 points (7-15 FG, 2-8 3Pt), six rebounds, five assists, two blocks and one steal across 40 minutes during Sunday's 103-89 win over the Rockets in Game 7 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
Green scored in double digits for the first time in the series, providing the Warriors with an unexpected yet welcome offensive boost. In what was a hard-fought series, the Warriors emerged victorious over the Rockets and will now move on to face the Timberwolves in the second round of the playoffs. There is no love lost between the two teams, and Green's versatile presence should be especially valued in what could be another wire-to-wire series.

Warriors' Draymond Green: Struggles with shot
Rotowire
Green racked up six points (2-7 FG, 2-5 3Pt), eight rebounds and two assists over 31 minutes during Monday's 109-106 win over Houston in Game 4 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
Although Green's impact wasn't too evident on the box score, his energy was through the roof in Game 4. He was a constant annoyance to Houston, picking up five fouls, one technical and one flagrant before ultimately coming up with a game-winning defensive stop. The veteran is averaging 6.3 points, 6.8 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 1.3 blocks and 2.0 steals through four games with the Warriors holding a 3-1 series lead.

Warriors' Draymond Green: Three swipes in loss
Rotowire
Green finished with eight points (2-6 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-4 FT), five rebounds, one assist, one block and three steals over 31 minutes during Wednesday's 109-94 loss to Houston in Game 2 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
Green wasn't able to pick up the slack for Golden State following the injury suffered by Jimmy Butler (pelvis) eight minutes into Game 2. However, he did tie a game-high for steals, with Houston's Fred VanVleet and Jalen Green also coming away with three swipes. If Butler is limited or can't play moving forward, head coach Steve Kerr will likely look to Green to step up, as the series is now tied at one game apiece.

Warriors' Draymond Green: Steps up defensively
Rotowire
Green logged four points (2-5 FG, 0-2 3Pt), six rebounds, three assists, one block and three steals over 36 minutes during Sunday's 95-85 win over Houston in Game 1 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
Green couldn't generate much on offense, but stepped up big time on the defensive end. During the regular season, Green appeared in 70 games with averages of 8.9 points, 6.1 rebounds, 5.7 assists, 1.5 steals, 1.0 blocks and 1.1 three-pointers.

Warriors' Draymond Green: Double-digit dimes in Play-In win
Rotowire
Green posted four points (1-5 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, 10 assists, one block and three steals in 31 minutes before fouling out of Tuesday's 121-116 Play-In Game win over the Grizzlies.
With Jimmy Butler and Stephen Curry combining for 75 points, Green was able to concentrate on his supporting duties as he led the Warriors in assists and tied Butler for the team led in steals on the night. It's the first time the veteran center had supplied double-digit dimes since he recorded a triple-double April 1, in a game that was also against Memphis. Green might need to be more disciplined when the playoffs proper begin, and Golden State takes on a young and hungry Houston squad in the first round.

Warriors' Draymond Green: Goes to locker room
Rotowire
Green went to the locker room during the first quarter of Sunday's game against the Clippers due to a neck issue, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports.
Green appeared to injure his neck after diving for a loose ball that went out of bounds. He was replaced by Kevon Looney at the 6:22 mark, and Green went to the locker room after a quick conversation with trainers. Looney and Jonathan Kuminga would likely see an uptick in playing time if Green is unable to return to Sunday's contest.

Warriors' Draymond Green: Fills up stat sheet in loss
Rotowire
Green logged 13 points (4-7 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), nine rebounds, eight assists, one block and two steals in 33 minutes during Wednesday's 114-111 loss to the Spurs.
Green came tantalizingly close to a triple-double during the shocking loss, and his clutch free throws in the final seconds gave the Warriors a chance to take it to overtime. Harrison Barnes thwarted that wish, and the result is a potential drop into the play-in tournament. Luckily for the Warriors, the hot-headed Green has managed to stay out of trouble and will be a full participant as the team makes a final push to improve their postseason outlook.

Warriors' Draymond Green: Invisible in loss
Rotowire
Green ended with two points (1-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt), three rebounds and four assists across 27 minutes during Sunday's 106-96 loss to the Rockets.
This was one of Green's worst performances of the season. He's been struggling for a while, hitting 39.6 percent from the field over his last seven games with 7.6 points, 6.0 rebounds, 5.0 assists, 0.9 steals and 0.6 blocks in 27.8 minutes per contest. With the Warriors jostling for playoff seeding, they may not have the luxury of resting Green much in the final four games of the regular season.

Warriors' Draymond Green: Posts triple-double
Rotowire
Green accumulated 13 points (4-12 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 10 rebounds, 12 assists, one block and two steals across 33 minutes during Tuesday's 134-125 win over Memphis.
Green didn't have a good shooting performance and needed 12 shots to score 13 points, mainly due to his struggles from the three-point line. However, the veteran forward found a way to make his presence felt in other areas and finished with his second triple-double of the campaign. Green, who was recently named the Defensive Player of the month in the Western Conference for the games played in March, is averaging 10.6 points, 6.2 rebounds, 5.0 assists, 1.9 steals and 1.4 blocks per contest over his last 10 contests.
