Jeff Green scores 18 off bench as Cavaliers fall to Nets
Cleveland Cavaliers forward Jeff Green went for 18 points and six rebounds in a disappointing 112-107 road loss to the Brooklyn Nets.
Averaging 19.1 minutes through the first four games, Green was a clear beneficiary of the back-to-back set. As Dwyane Wade (knee) sat out, Green's scoring was necessary for the Cavaliers to even keep up with the youthful Nets. After all was said and done, Green was 5-for-11 from the field, 2-for-5 from three and 6-of-6 from the line. He also contributed two blocks and a steal on the other end of the floor.
Green totaled 38.7 FanDuel points on Wednesday at the bare minimum of $3,000. Doing the math, that's 12.9 points per $1,000, making for one of the single best values on last night's slate. We don't see a repeat performance coming from Green on Saturday, though. He's projected for just 15.0 FanDuel points in a road matchup with the New Orleans Pelicans.
