Jeff Green (shoulder) ruled out again Thursday for Nets

Brooklyn Nets guard/forward Jeff Green (shoulder contusion) will not play Thursday versus the Orlando Magic.

What It Means:

Green will miss a second consecutive contest. DeAndre Jordan will likely draw another start and Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot (hip) could see a boost after missing the last game. There may also be a larger role for Nicolas Claxton following his 13-minute season debut last game. Kevin Durant (hamstring) remains out, so the Nets' offense will continue to run through Kyrie Irving and James Harden.

Per numberFire's NBA Heat Map, the Nets have the third-highest implied total (119.0 points) among the 12 teams playing on Thursday.
