Green is the favorite to start Monday against the Heat if shooting guard Brandon Knight (hip) doesn't play.

Analysis:

Through four games as a starter this season, Green has averaged 12.3 points, 4.3 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 1.0 steal, and 2.3 three-pointers in 27 minutes per game. While these figures are relatively low, in the one game Green played against the Heat this season, he put up 19 points in 21 minutes, well above his season average (12.2 points). Knight left Saturday's game with a hip pointer after playing 17 minutes and was not able to return. He is questionable for Monday's game.
