Green had a team-high 28 points (9-18 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 5-6 FT) with five boards and two assists in 27 minutes off the bench Sunday against the Raptors.

Analysis:

This was easily Green's best game since Eric Bledsoe returned from injury, forcing Green back to a reserve role. He had eight and four points, respectively, in Bledsoe's first two games back, averaging 26 minutes per game. The fact that he's no longer seeing 30-plus minutes makes it doubtful that he'll post too many more games like Sunday's performance, but he could be a little more useful than originally anticipated upon Bledsoe's return.
