Green will not return to Thursday's game versus the Thunder due to a right ankle sprain, Eddie Sefko of the Mavericks' official site reports. He finished with two points and one turnover in four minutes.

EDGE Analysis

Green suffered the injury with 4:12 remaining in the first quarter, and he looked to be in a lot of pain. He struggled to put weight on his ankle, and he needed help to get back to the locker room. With Green out for the rest of the night, the Mavericks could turn to Jaden Hardy.

Green will move to the bench for Thursday's game against the Heat, Brad Townsend of The Dallas Morning News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Derrick Jones will replace Green in the starting five. The Mavericks are looking to shake things up after losing three straight games, two of which were blowouts.

Green notched six points (3-7 FG, 0-1 3Pt), two rebounds, one block and one steal over 26 minutes during Tuesday's 137-120 loss to the Pacers.

EDGE Analysis

Green produced a sub-par effort in the loss, continuing his recent struggles. He has now scored fewer than eight points in five straight games, sitting well outside the top 250 in that time. Despite having two hands on a starting role, Green is not worth rostering outside of deeper formats.

Green returned to Tuesday's game versus the Cavaliers with 1:49 remaining in the third quarter after leaving with right elbow pain, Grant Afseth of SI.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Green was listed as probable with a right elbow contusion before being upgraded to available against Cleveland. The 23-year-old forward appears to still be bothered by the injury, as he has now left Tuesday's twice. However, each time, Green has returned to the Mavericks' bench shortly after.

Green (elbow) will play Tuesday versus Cleveland.

EDGE Analysis

Green had been listed as probable with a right elbow contusion, which may be a lingering effect of the right elbow sprain that cost him significant time earlier this season. In any case, the 23-year-old is officially in the clear to suit up Tuesday and will be part of a Dallas squad that is at full strength aside from the continued absence of Dante Exum (knee).

Green is probable for Tuesday's game against the Cavaliers due to a right elbow injury, Brad Townsend of The Dallas Morning News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Per Townsend, Green "dinged his elbow" during Sunday's loss to Indiana, but it appears the issue is minor. He finished that contest with 14 points (6-8 FG), five rebounds and two steals in 32 minutes and continues to be a solid starter for a Mavericks squad that snapped a seven-game win streak Sunday. Over the last eight games, Green has averaged 12.1 points, 3.8 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1.4 steals in 28.5 minutes per game.

Green totaled 14 points (6-8 FG, 2-3 3Pt), five rebounds, one assist and two steals across 32 minutes during Sunday's 133-111 loss to the Pacers.

EDGE Analysis

The Mavericks were far from their best offensively outside of their star duo of Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving, and in fact, Green was the only other starter who scored in double digits in this one. That said, Green is far from being a top-notch offensive threat, as evidenced by the fact he has failed to surpass the 15-point mark in his last seven appearances, a span in which he's averaging 11.0 points, 3.4 rebounds and 2.6 assists per contest.

Green notched nine points (3-7 FG, 3-5 3Pt), two rebounds, five assists and two steals across 25 minutes during Thursday's 123-113 victory over the Suns.

EDGE Analysis

The fourth-year forward isn't getting many looks on offense, scoring in single digits in three of the last four games, but Smith is still contributing on the defensive end. He's recorded multiple steals four times during the Mavs' current seven-game win streak, averaging 11.9 points, 3.6 boards, 3.0 assists, 2.0 threes and 1.3 steals over that stretch while shooting 55.8 percent from the floor and 50.0 percent (14-for-28) from beyond the arc. While the efficiency is encouraging, his usage figures to remain low as long as both Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving are healthy.

Green closed Monday's 118-102 win over the 76ers with 20 points (6-9 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six rebounds, four assists and two steals in 32 minutes.

EDGE Analysis

Green is averaging 19.3 points, 5.7 rebounds and 2.7 assists on 61.8 percent shooting, including 55.6 percent shooting from deep, over his last three games. While that represents an unsustainable hot streak from deep, his production is impressive in the context of Kyrie Irving (thumb) and Derrick Jones (wrist) both returning from respective absences amid that span.

Green logged 20 points (7-12 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds, three assists and one steal across 38 minutes during Saturday's 129-117 loss to Milwaukee.

EDGE Analysis

Green posted his second 20-point game this season, while knocking down at least three triples for the eighth occasion. Dallas was destroyed with Green on the court, however, as his minus-29 net rating was easily a team-worst mark Saturday. Green is knocking down 40.0 percent of 3.5 threes per game this season, but his overall efficiency has regressed slightly and Dallas' defensive rating has been 4.0 points worse with him on the court.
