Green will get the start against the Thunder on Sunday with Goran Dragic (back) sidelined, Paul Coro of azcentral.com reports.

Analysis:

It will be the first start of the season for Green, who made 48 starts a season ago. While Green is seeing fewer minutes this season - about six less per game - his production has remained constant, for the most part, and he's averaging 14.3 points while shooting 43.3 percent from the floor and 38.6 percent from three. Expect Green to see an uptick in minutes Sunday, and that could hold constant Monday against Milwaukee if Dragic remains out.
