Draymond Green Will Play Sunday
Draymond Green will be back in the Golden State Warriors lineup Sunday against the Atlanta Hawks. The veteran power forward missed one game with a finger injury.
Green’s offensive metrics have dipped this season, but he remains a steadying defensive force for the Warriors. On average, Green chips in with 6.3 points, 6.4 rebounds, and 8.4 assists, with his scoring and rebounding coming in below career averages. However, his Defensive Box Plus/Minus, as calculated by Basketball-Reference, is a team-best 2.7.
From a DFS perspective, Green has been trending up recently. He’s gone above his FanDuel Fantasy Point average in three of his last four, putting up 48.0 fantasy points his last time out. Green has a $7,200 salary on the main slate at FanDuel and plays a Hawks team that gives up the 14th most fantasy points to power forwards.
The line has shifted in favor of the Warriors on news that Green would be participating in tonight’s contest; The Warriors are now listed as 1 point underdogs at FanDuel Sportsbook.
