Analysis:

The deal that would send Jeff Green to Memphis apparently hinges on a third team, although several media outlets have reported that the trade is as good as done. It seems risky to play a player who has been promised to another team, but in Prince's place, even if he were to roll an ankle, the Celtics would probably still take him in the deal as his contract is more important than anything they expect to get from him on the court this season. Either way, it would be wise to shy away from using anyone involved in the deal in daily leagues Friday.
