Near the end of the first half, there was a bit of an incident involving Warriors forward Draymond Green. He elbowed Rockets center Alperen Sengun in the face and was hit with a technical foul. He then kept yapping at the referees at one point before halftime.

Green is the current favorite on FanDuel Sportsbook for the award, with Cleveland Cavaliers forward Evan Mobley, Oklahoma City Thunder forward Luguentz Dort, Atlanta Hawks guard Dyson Daniels and Memphis Grizzlies center Jaren Jackson Jr. rounding out the top five.

Golden State Warriors star Draymond Green hasn't exactly been known to rise above pettiness in his drama-filled NBA career. Friday night was no exception. After the Warriors' 118-104 win over the Denver Nuggets, Green looked tired in his postgame presser and said as much.
