Green posted 19 points (6-11 FG, 6-10 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, one assist and one block across 46 minutes during Tuesday's 119-118 overtime loss to the Pacers in Game 5 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.
Green got the starting nod for Game 5 with Milwaukee's season on the line, along with Kevin Porter and Bobby Portis with coach Doc Rivers making several tweaks to his rotation. Green played terrific, but the Bucks let go of a lead late in regulation and overtime as they were officially eliminated. Green was a key rotation player for Milwaukee during the regular season, appearing in 73 games with 7.4 points, 2.4 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 2.1 three-pointers while connecting on 42.7 percent of his three-point attempts.

Rotowire
Green (shoulder) is available for Sunday's game against the Pistons, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports.
Green was initially listed as doubtful and was even ruled out per multiple reports.

Over his last six appearances, Green has averaged 8.2 points in 24.2 minutes per game.

Bucks' AJ Green: Plays heavy minutes in win
Rotowire
Green closed with nine points (3-8 FG, 3-8 3Pt), three rebounds and two assists over 30 minutes during Thursday's 116-110 victory over the Clippers.
Green stepped into the role of sixth man for the Bucks with Bobby Portis (suspension) on the shelf, playing 30-plus minutes for the first time since Jan. 14 and leading the bench in scoring. The sharpshooter also recorded his 20th outing with three or more triples, though he has seen a slight decline in his shooting numbers of late. Over his last 10 outings (one start), Green has shot 35.6 percent from beyond the arc compared to an impressive 42.5 percent on the season.

Bucks' AJ Green: Plays well in loss
Rotowire
Green ended with 14 points (5-8 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds, one assist and two steals across 28 minutes during Sunday's 132-119 loss to the Grizzlies.
Green needed a performance like this one, as he was ice cold in his previous three outings -- he scored a combined eight points in that stretch. It will be tough for Green to consistently churn out fantasy production when the Bucks are healthy, so he's mostly just a three-point specialist for the time being.

Bucks' AJ Green: Held scoreless in return
Rotowire
Green (quadricep) went scoreless (0-3 FG, 0-2 3Pt) with two rebounds and one steal across 18 minutes Friday in the Bucks' 144-118 loss to the Spurs.
Making his return from a five-game absence due to a left quad strain, Green struggled to make an impact off the bench. He was held without a point for the fifth time in 39 appearances on the season, but the poor showing shouldn't result in him moving out of the rotation. Green will continue to serve as a key cog on the second unit, and he may play more minutes than starting wings Andre Jackson and Taurean Prince in certain matchups.

Bucks' AJ Green: Out again Tuesday
Rotowire
Green (quadriceps) is out for Tuesday's game against the Trail Blazers.
A left quadriceps strain will cost Green a fifth straight game Tuesday, and the sharpshooter carries an uncertain timetable for a return to the Bucks' lineup ahead of Friday's tilt against San Antonio. Taurean Prince and Gary Trent should continue to split minutes fairly evenly on the wing in Milwaukee's rotation against Portland.
