Jeff Green Is Surging

Jeff Green is getting tons of minutes over the last three weeks coming off the Boston bench.

Analysis: Green is averaging 31.6 minutes per game over his last week of action. In this five game span he’s averaging 14.0 PPG, 4.4 RPG, 1.4 BPG and he’s shooting 47% from the field. He’s always been the athletic small forward/power forward that can contribute in the rebound, steal and block departments but other aspects of his game are coming along. He’s shooting 92% from the stripe over the last week and is shooting 81% from the stripe this year, up 4% from his career average of 77%. With his increased playing time his rebounds are starting to creep back up into the five per game range. We also cannot forget that he does hit nearly one three per game.

Jeff Green is available in 50-75% of fantasy leagues nationwide. Any player with his type of athleticism that is getting thirty plus minutes per game makes an intriguing add. He’s contributing in seven of eight fantasy categories and over the last two weeks he is outperforming Kyle Korver, Martell Webster, Taj Gibson and Tiago Splitter.
