Clippers likely starting Jeff Green in Game 5 against Portland
Los Angeles Clippers guard/forward Jeff Green is expected to move into the starting lineup for Wednesday's Game 5 against the Portland Trail Blazers.
What It Means:
Blake Griffin (quad) is going to miss the remainder of the postseason for Los Angeles, so the starting four-spot is Green's to lose. He'll be taking on a much larger role on offense with Chris Paul (hand) also done for the year, so he'll be a reasonable guy to consider in DFS with his minutes set to spike to the mid-30s.
In the first round, Green is logging 21.5 minutes per contest while averaging 8.3 points and 2.0 rebounds on 41.7 percent shooting from the field. He earned a -3.5 nERD this season, which ranked 114th in the league.
