Downgraded to out
Green (back) won't play in Wednesday's game against the Grizzlies.
Analysis
Green will take a seat for the tail end of a back-to-back set Wednesday night. The veteran forward's absence likely means Al Horford, Quinten Post and Gui Santos will see more playing time. Green should be back in action Saturday against the Lakers.

Questionable for Wednesday
Green is questionable for Wednesday's game in Memphis due to left lower back injury management.
Analysis
Wednesday's game will be the second of a back-to-back set, so there's a decent chance Green will be watching from the sidelines after logging 32 minutes in Tuesday's loss to the Pelicans. If Green is out, Al Horford, Quinten Post and Gui Santos will see a boost.

Cleared to play Tuesday
Green (back) is available for Tuesday's game against the Pelicans.
Analysis
Green was scratched right before Sunday's tipoff against the Nuggets due to lower-back soreness, but the veteran big man has been given the green light to play Tuesday. He has averaged 8.5 points, 5.7 rebounds and 3.8 assists over 25.8 minutes per game in his last six outings.

Probable for Tuesday
Green (back) is probable for Tuesday's game against the Pelicans.
Analysis
Green was a late scratch from Sunday's contest due to a lower-back injury, but he's on track to return from a one-game absence. Tuesday's game is the front end of a back-to-back set, so a maintenance day could be on the table for Wednesday.

Iffy for Tuesday
Green (back) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Pelicans.
Analysis
Green was a late scratch from Sunday's contest due to a lower-back injury, leaving his status for Tuesday up in the air. Over his past five appearances, the 35-year-old is averaging 9.0 points, 5.4 rebounds and 4.0 assists while shooting 37.5 percent from the field and 32.1 percent from beyond the arc. With Kristaps Porzingis (illness) already ruled out, Al Horford (toe) would likely draw the start if Green is unavailable, with Quinten Post providing reinforcement at center.

Late scratch Sunday
Green (back) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Nuggets, Anthony Slater of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis
Green was originally slated to start Sunday but was a late scratch due to lower-back soreness. It's not clear who will start instead, though Al Horford and Quinten Post figure to be the top candidates. Green's next chance to play is Tuesday against the Pelicans.
