Green will start at shooting guard in Friday's game against the Hawks, Shandel Richardson of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Analysis:

With Dwyane Wade (knee) out of the lineup and Tyler Johnson (shoulder) sidelined indefinitely, the Heat will turn to Green for the starting nod. The potential for Wade to miss additional time could result in Green holding down a consistent starting role, which has equated to 10.3 points (on 38 percent shooting), 2.6 rebounds, 1.1 assists, 1.1 three-pointers, and 0.7 blocks in 30 minutes across his previous nine turns on the top unit this season.
