Green will enter the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Rockets, Grant Afseth of SI.com reports.

Mavericks' Josh Green: Coming off bench in opener
Rotowire

Green was in contention to start at small forward, and it appeared it was trending that way after he signed a three-year extension with Dallas earlier this week. However, Derrick Jones will instead draw the starting nod for the season opener. Regardless of his second-unit status, Green should be expected to handle a large workload Wednesday.

Mavericks' Josh Green: Earns contract extension
Rotowire
Green signed a three-year, $41 million contract extension with the Mavericks on Monday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
Green's role with Dallas has increased over his first three professional seasons, and he'll be rewarded with a hefty extension ahead of the 2023-24 campaign. The 22-year-old averaged 9.1 points and 3.0 rebounds in 25.7 minutes per game over 60 appearances last year and should have an opportunity to carve out consistent minutes once again this season.

Rotowire
Green notched 22 points (8-12 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, two steals and a block across 24 minutes in Friday's 114-104 preseason win over the Pistons.
Green made his presence felt by leading the Mavs in scoring in this 10-point victory. Green should see consistent minutes as the Mavericks' starting small forward, and he could take advantage of the floor spacing that will be available by playing alongside Kyrie Irving and Luka Doncic. Green averaged 9.1 points per game in 2022-23 and looks poised to improve on those numbers in his fourth year in the league.

Mavericks' Josh Green: Hits 20 points in third straight
Rotowire
Green finished Wednesday's 137-128 overtime win over the Spurs with 21 points (9-18 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), seven assists, three rebounds and one steal in 45 minutes.
Green has now reached the 20-point mark in three straight games and is also averaging a respectable 6.0 assists and 6.0 rebounds over that stretch, but the increased production has coincided with both Luka Doncic (thigh) and Kyrie Irving (foot) sitting out all of those contests. The Mavericks' two stars may remain out again in Friday's game in Los Angeles versus the Lakers, in which case Green could make for a strong streaming option. Green's rest-of-season fantasy value is less convincing, however, as he averaged just 3.8 points, 3.0 rebounds and 1.0 assists in 27.8 minutes in the first four games of March, when both Doncic and Irving were available.
