Terance Mann Available Versus Utah

Brooklyn Nets guard Terance Mann (ribs) will play on Thursday versus Utah after missing the last two games. The 29-year-old has averaged 8.7 points, 3.3 rebounds, and 3.6 assists in 19 appearances this season. Without question, those statistical contributions aren't the best. However, with Michael Porter Jr. (back) resting, Mann might be in line for a much more productive night against one of the worst defensive teams in the National Basketball Association.

Michael Porter Jr. Will Not Play Thursday

Brooklyn Nets forward Michael Porter Jr. (injury management) will not play on Thursday when the Nets host the Jazz to finish their back-to-back set of games. Porter played big minutes on Monday and Wednesday and had big games to help Brooklyn defeat the Hornets and Bulls. He finished Wednesday with 33 points, 10 boards, and five assists, after scoring 35 points on Monday. His absence will leave a huge usage void for the rest of the Nets' roster to step in and try to fill in this favorable matchup against the Jazz. Nic Claxton, Noah Clowney, Jalen Wilson, and Ziaire Williams are a few of the members of the frontcourt who should get a boost on Thursday while Porter gets the night off for lower back injury management. His next chance to return will be Saturday at home against the Pelicans.

Noah Clowney Cleared to Play Versus Charlotte

Brooklyn Nets forward Noah Clowney (hip) is available for Monday's meeting with the Charlotte Hornets. He's listed on the injury report because of a sore left hip. Fortunately, it isn't enough to keep him off the floor for the first time this season. The 21-year-old has averaged a career-high 12.1 points with 3.6 rebounds and 1.6 assists. While that won't make him an everyday fantasy option, he has a much higher upside than mostly everyone on the roster. Granted, Michael Porter Jr. (back) will return from a two-game absence, which could cause a dip in Clowney's production. However, he can still get something going for fantasy managers, especially since Brooklyn will face Charlotte, one of the worst defensive teams in the NBA.

Michael Porter Jr. Back in Action on Monday

Brooklyn Nets forward Michael Porter Jr. (back) will play on Monday night versus the Charlotte Hornets after missing the previous two contests due to lower back tightness. The former Nugget is having easily the best year of his career, averaging 24.3 points, 7.0 rebounds, and 3.0 assists. His shooting percentage from deep is at an all-time low. However, Porter has made up for it with his contributions in all statistical areas. With that in mind, Porter is a must-start in any fantasy setup, especially against one of the worst defensive clubs in the National Basketball Association. Ziaire Williams, who started in the last two games, may head back to the bench, although that may not happen, considering Terance Mann (rib) won't suit up.

Egor Demin • PG • Nets

Egor Demin Available Against Hornets

Brooklyn Nets point guard Egor Demin (foot) is not listed on the injury report for Monday's clash against the Charlotte Hornets. He sat out the second leg of a back-to-back on Saturday against the Milwaukee Bucks due to a foot problem. Tyrese Martin started in his spot, finishing with nine points and six rebounds in 24 minutes. Martin may retain his starting role on Monday because Terance Mann (ribs) might miss the game. In his last appearance against the Philadelphia 76ers, Demin had the best game of his young NBA career, scoring 23 points and recording nine rebounds, five assists, one steal, and two blocks. Monday could be another big night for him, as Charlotte allows the 10th-most fantasy points in the league to point guards.

Terance Mann in Danger of Missing Monday's Game

Brooklyn Nets guard/forward Terance Mann (ribs) has been tagged as questionable on the injury report ahead of Monday's meet-up with the Charlotte Hornets. The 25-year-old played through a rib injury on Saturday against the Milwaukee Bucks but struggled, shooting 2-for-8 from the field to finish with four points in 21 minutes. Mann's exit from the lineup would give additional playing opportunities for players like Drake Powell and Tyrese Martin. The returning Egor Demin (foot) will also benefit and is likely to replace Mann in the starting lineup.

Noah Clowney • PF • Nets

Noah Clowney Considered Probable for Monday

Brooklyn Nets forward/center Noah Clowney (hip) is listed as probable for Monday's encounter with the Charlotte Hornets. The 21-year-old is on the injury report due to a hip issue, but it doesn't appear to be severe enough to keep Clowney off the floor. On Saturday against the Milwaukee Bucks, Clowney managed only six points and one rebound in 21 minutes. But he has been on a strong stretch overall recently, averaging close to 18 points over his past six outings.

Michael Porter Jr. • SF • Nets

Michael Porter Jr. Listed as Probable for Monday's Matchup

Brooklyn Nets forward Michael Porter Jr. (back) is on track to return from a two-game absence on Monday against the Charlotte Hornets, as the team considers him probable for the matchup. Porter Jr. has been dealing with a back issue, allowing Ziaire Williams to log a couple of starts. On Monday, Williams will drop back to the bench to make room in the first unit for Brooklyn's top scorer. Porter Jr. is averaging 24.3 points, 7.4 rebounds, and 3.0 assists for the season. He has been even more productive in his most recent outings, surpassing the 30-point plateau twice in five games.

Michael Porter Jr. Won't Play Friday Versus 76ers

Brooklyn Nets forward Michael Porter Jr. (back) has been ruled out for Friday's matchup with the 76ers, ending his appearance streak dating back to Nov. 3. His absence shifts more offensive weight onto Noah Clowney, who erupted for 31 points and has scored at least 22 points in two of his last three games. Tyrese Martin, Ziaire Williams, and Jalen Wilson also gain streaming appeal, though Clowney remains the clearest beneficiary with added usage and shot volume. Porter's next chance to return comes Saturday against Milwaukee.

Nicolas Claxton • C • Nets

Nicolas Claxton Cleared to Face New York

Brooklyn Nets center Nicolas Claxton (quadriceps) will play on Monday against the Knicks. The 26-year-old carried an injury designation because of a sprained elbow heading into Sunday's loss to the Toronto Raptors. He ended up getting the green light for that one, finishing with a 10-point, 11-rebound double-double with two blocks. Fortunately, his latest injury, quadriceps tightness, won't keep him off the floor. While fantasy managers could theoretically see Claxton miss time in the future or even play fewer minutes on Monday night, he's a must-start versus a Knicks team that won't have Mitchell Robinson (illness).

Egor Demin • PG • Nets

Egor Demin Cleared for Sunday

Brooklyn Nets point guard Egor Demin (neck/jaw) will remain in the lineup on Sunday against the Toronto Raptors. He has been upgraded from probable to available ahead of tip-off. Demin has started each of the last seven games for Brooklyn, averaging 10.1 points, 3.4 rebounds, and 4.4 assists in 23.8 minutes. Demin's run as a starter includes a 16-point, five-assist effort in last week's meeting with the Raptors. Toronto plays at a much higher pace than Brooklyn, making this a favorable fantasy matchup for the Russian rookie.

Nov 23

Nicolas Claxton • C • Nets

Nicolas Claxton Available Sunday

Brooklyn Nets center Nicolas Claxton (elbow) will suit up for Sunday's contest against the Toronto Raptors. The team has upgraded Claxton's status from probable to available. Claxton has yet to miss any action this season, averaging 14.8 points, 7.5 rebounds, 4.4 assists, and 1.3 blocks in 29.8 minutes. Fantasy managers may even get a bit more production from Claxton on Sunday, as he won't have to deal with Jakob Poeltl (back). With that said, even with Poeltl in the lineup, the Raptors recently struggled to contain Claxton, who notched 21 points and eight rebounds in this matchup last week.

Day'Ron Sharpe • C • Nets

Day'Ron Sharpe Available to Play on Friday

Brooklyn Nets center Day'Ron Sharpe (glute) will play on Friday night when the team visits the Orlando Magic for an NBA Cup contest. Sharpe missed one game while managing a left glute contusion. The 24-year-old has appeared in 10 games for the 1-10 Nets, averaging 6.7 points, 5.3 rebounds, 1.7 assists, and 0.9 steals per game. He only sees about 15 minutes per game, playing behind starting center Nic Claxton. With minimal usage, Sharpe doesn't offer much fantasy value. Fantasy managers can likely find a better option to get into their lineup for Friday's nine-game slate.

Day'Ron Sharpe • C • Nets

Day'Ron Sharpe Listed as Probable for Friday Against Magic

Brooklyn Nets center Day'Ron Sharpe (glute) is listed as probable for Friday night's matchup against the Orlando Magic. Sharpe is dealing with a glute injury that caused him to miss Tuesday's loss to the Toronto Raptors but he should be back in action on Friday. Sharpe has been a spotty fantasy option this season, not providing much value in terms of points. Those in category leagues may find more value with him, especially if they need help in the rebounding department. But his outbursts have been fairly unpredictable. Fantasy managers likely can find better options to get into their starting lineup for Friday unless they're desperate.

Day'Ron Sharpe Will Not Play Tuesday

Brooklyn Nets center Day'Ron Sharpe (glute) has been ruled out for Tuesday night's game against the Raptors. Sharpe has averaged just 15.9 minutes off the bench for the Nets this season, chipping in 6.7 points, 5.3 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 0.9 steals, and 0.6 blocks in his 10 games this season. This will be the first game he has missed this season for Brooklyn, and his bench minutes could go to Noah Clowney and Danny Wolf, who will fill in at backup center behind starter Nic Claxton on Tuesday.

Day'Ron Sharpe Questionable Versus Raptors

Brooklyn Nets center Day'Ron Sharpe (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Toronto Raptors. The reserve big man left Sunday's game against the New York Knicks due to left hamstring tightness. Brooklyn re-signed him in free agency to remain part of their rebuilding youth movement. Sharpe has averaged 6.7 points and 5.3 rebounds in 15.9 minutes per game for the Nets so far this season. Starting center Nicolas Claxton could see more time on the court if the 24-year-old backup misses the game due to the in-season tournament games holding extra importance. Brooklyn may also use Noah Clowney, Jalen Wilson, and rookie Danny Wolf more if necessary. Sharpe is a limited fantasy option and should be expected to have his usual numbers if he does suit up vs Toronto.

Day'Ron Sharpe Exits With Hamstring Tightness vs. Knicks

Brooklyn Nets center Day'Ron Sharpe (hamstring) exited Sunday's loss to the New York Knicks and was ruled out for the remainder with left-hamstring tightness after 12 minutes, finishing with 10 points, six rebounds, one assist, one steal, and one block. For fantasy managers, he should be considered day-to-day, though hamstring issues can easily linger. Noah Clowney, who has started the last four games alongside Nicolas Claxton, would likely see an uptick in workload if Sharpe misses time. E.J. Liddell could also pick up some minutes off the bench, but he remains a watchlist option only, having yet to show meaningful fantasy impact despite brief appearances in recent games. Sharpe had been quietly productive in limited minutes this season, averaging 6.7 points and 5.3 rebounds on 65 percent shooting, making him worth holding in deeper leagues while awaiting an official update.

Cam Thomas • SG • Nets

Cam Thomas Out 3-4 Weeks

According to ESPN's Shams Charania, Brooklyn Nets guard Cam Thomas (hamstring) will miss 3-4 weeks. As expected, the 24-year-old has shined on the scoring end for the Nets this season, averaging 21.4 points. Unfortunately, he'll be on the shelf with a hamstring strain, something he dealt with throughout the 2024 campaign. With that said, fantasy managers shouldn't be surprised to see Thomas' absence extend beyond the four-week mark. In the meantime, Terance Mann, Noah Clowney, and Tyrese Martin are the favorites to pick up the slack on the scoring end behind Michael Porter Jr.

Terance Mann • PG • Nets

Terance Mann Considered Probable for Friday's Cup Game

Brooklyn Nets guard/forward Terance Mann (shoulder) is regarded as probable for Friday's NBA Cup tilt against the Detroit Pistons. Mann is nursing left shoulder soreness, but he is expected to play on Friday. With Cam Thomas (hamstring) out, Mann could be a lot more involved in the offense. He's capable of providing all-around fantasy value, having averaged 11.9 points, 3.6 rebounds, 3.4 assists, and 1.4 steals so far this season. Recently, Mann has struggled with his shooting, but overall, he has netted 52.9 percent of his attempts from the field.

Cam Thomas Won't Play on Friday

Brooklyn Nets guard/forward Cam Thomas (hamstring) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Detroit Pistons. This isn't surprising, since Thomas missed most of Wednesday's contest against the Indiana Pacers due to a hamstring problem. Thomas is Brooklyn's second-highest scorer, averaging 21.4 points for the year, and his absence will open up additional scoring opportunities for his teammates. At the same time, players like Tyrese Martin and Terance Mann could be more involved in the rotation. Mann is already starting for the Nets, while Martin produced 16 points in 27 minutes off the bench on Wednesday night after Thomas' departure.
