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.
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.
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.
