How Draymond Green Affects NBA Betting Markets

Green could be traded to LA Lakers for Russell Westbrook and Myles Turner. Dallas Mavericks and Denver Nuggets are interested in signing Green. Atlanta Hawks want to keep Green on their roster. Golden State Warriors are a potential destination for Green if he leaves the team.

Draymond Green has been a key part of the Warriors since he became a starter in 2014-15. Since the start of that season, Golden State has played 105 regular-season games without Green in the lineup, accumulating a 55-50 SU (0.524) record. With Green playing, the squad is much better, producing a 374-150 ( 0.714) victory record since 2014.

Draymond Green's defense is important for the Golden State Warriors. Green played 46 games last season. He's scored 2,724 career points in the first half of games, compared to 2.457 in second half. The Warriors have a 93-33 record in NBA playoffs with Green and lost the only playoff game without him (June 13, 2016, vs Cleveland). If Draymond gets traded, the Warriors will finish under 52 wins.
