EDGE Analysis

Even though the Mavericks welcomed back superstar Luka Doncic (heel) following a four-game absence, Green continued to see huge minutes. Though Doncic and the newly acquired Kyrie Irving look poised to dominate most of the usage with the first unit moving forward, Green looks as though he may serve as a nearly one-for-one replacement for defensive-minded three-and-D forward Dorian Finney-Smith, who was sent to Brooklyn in the Irving trade. Green may even have a short-term window as the No. 3 option on offense behind Doncic and Irving, as fellow starter Tim Hardaway (hamstring) exited early in Saturday's contest and could miss Dallas' final two games before the All-Star break. Green is now averaging 19.0 points, 4.2 boards, 3.0 assists, 2.2 three-pointers and 0.8 steals in 36.4 minutes over his past five contests while shooting 58.3 percent from the field.
