Ziaire Williams Moves into Starting Five

Brooklyn Nets forward Ziaire Williams will shift back into the starting five ahead of Tuesday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. Williams is back in the rotation after sitting out Sunday's game due to a coach's decision. Williams will move back into the starting five with Terance Mann (Achilles) unavailable on Tuesday. Williams has scored 16 points or more in five straight games before getting benched on Sunday. When active, Williams is a decent streaming option and figures to play 20-plus minutes in the rotation without Mann available.

Josh Minott Active on Tuesday

Brooklyn Nets forward Josh Minott (hip) will suit up on Tuesday against the Charlotte Hornets. A hip problem forced Minott to miss Sunday's matchup with Sacramento, but the team hasn't included him on the injury report ahead of Tuesday's action. Minott has recently returned to fantasy radars, averaging 15.7 points, 3.4 rebounds, 1.7 steals, and 1.0 blocks over his last seven appearances. Brooklyn's limited frontcourt options mean Minott is poised to have a significant role again on Tuesday. Meanwhile, E.J. Liddell will have a tougher time finding minutes in the rotation.

Noah Clowney Cleared to Return From Four-Game Absence

Brooklyn Nets forward/center Noah Clowney (wrist) will be active on Friday against the Los Angeles Lakers. A wrist issue has kept Clowney sidelined for four games, but the team has upgraded his status from probable to available. Ziaire Williams has had a good stint as a starter during Clowney's absence, but he may find himself back in the second unit on Friday night, which would be a big blow for his fantasy prospects. Clowney's form has faded late in the season, with his average numbers dropping to 10.2 points and 4.0 rebounds this month.

Drake Powell Slated to Miss Monday's Matchup With Portland

Brooklyn Nets shooting guard Drake Powell (knee) is unavailable to suit up against the Portland Trail Blazers on Monday, per C.J. Holmes of the New York Daily News. The 20-year-old rookie is set to sit out the last leg of a back-to-back due to left knee injury management after he logged eight points, three assists and three rebounds in 28 minutes during Sunday's loss to Sacramento. With Powell sidelined and a depleted Nets' rotation, Jalen Wilson, Ochai Agbaji and Malachi Smith are expected to take on heavier workloads against the Blazers.

Danny Wolf Set to Miss Monday

C.J. Holmes of the New York Daily News reports that Brooklyn Nets forward Danny Wolf (ankle) is unavailable for Monday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. The 21-year-old rookie will sit out his first game since Nov. 24 after sustaining an ankle injury during Sunday's loss to Sacramento. With Wolf sidelined, Chaney Johnson and E.J. Liddell would likely see larger roles in the Nets' rotation this evening.

Terance Mann • PG • Nets

Terance Mann Out Monday

According to C.J. Holmes of the New York Daily News, Brooklyn Nets guard Terance Mann (rest) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. The 29-year-old will rest after recording five points, three rebounds, and two assists in 26 minutes during Sunday's loss to the Kings. With Mann out, the already depleted Nets rotation must rely on Ziaire Williams and Ochai Agbaji to take on expanded roles tonight.

Noah Clowney Ruled Out for Monday

According to C.J. Holmes of the New York Daily News, Brooklyn Nets forward/center Noah Clowney (wrist) will miss Monday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. Clowney is set to sit out his third game in a row due to a sprained right wrist, leaving Brooklyn thin in the frontcourt. Ziaire Williams is expected to continue starting and is a solid streaming option for tonight after posting 18 points, two rebounds, three assists, two steals and one block across 22 minutes against Sacramento on Sunday.

Nicolas Claxton • C • Nets

Nicolas Claxton Set to Suit Up Against Portland

C.J. Holmes of the New York Daily News reports that Brooklyn Nets center Nicolas Claxton (rest) is active for Monday's matchup against the Portland Trail Blazers. He is set to return after missing Sunday's 126-122 loss to the Sacramento Kings. However, the rebuilding Nets are beginning to manage the 26-year-old big man's workload, so fantasy managers should expect him to miss more time in the near future. Across his last six outings, Claxton has averaged 7.2 points and 6.7 rebounds in 21.2 minutes per contest.

Danny Wolf • C • Nets

Danny Wolf Suffers Ankle Injury on Sunday

Brooklyn Nets forward Danny Wolf (ankle) needed to be helped to the locker room during Sunday's loss to the Sacramento Kings. Wolf suffered a left ankle injury when he awkwardly landed on teammate Terance Mann during the second quarter of Sunday's contest. He limped off the court and didn't return to this game. The Nets have a quick turnaround with a matchup versus the Portland Trail Blazers on Monday. Fantasy managers should consider Wolf highly questionable for that one, given he struggled getting off the court on Sunday. Chaney Johnson and E.J. Liddell would likely see larger roles in the rotation if Wolf sits out on Monday.

Noah Clowney • PF • Nets

Noah Clowney to Miss Second Straight Game

Brooklyn Nets forward/center Noah Clowney (wrist) will miss Sunday's game in Sacramento after suffering a right wrist sprain earlier in the week. This will mark his second straight absence, leaving Brooklyn thin in the frontcourt. Ziaire Williams is expected to continue starting after posting 17 points, two three-pointers, four rebounds, one assist, and one steal in 25 minutes against the Knicks. Williams shapes up as a deep-league streaming option while Clowney remains sidelined. Danny Wolf and Josh Minott could also continue seeing steady minutes as the Nets adjust their rotation.

Nicolas Claxton Won't Play Sunday

Brooklyn Nets center Nicolas Claxton (rest) will not play Sunday against Sacramento as the team manages his workload on the first night of a back-to-back. With Day'Ron Sharpe (thumb) already ruled out for the season and Noah Clowney (wrist) sidelined, Brooklyn could rely more on smaller lineups. Danny Wolf recently posted eight points, two three-pointers, six rebounds, two assists, and one steal in 24 minutes as a starter, while Josh Minott added 22 points, six three-pointers, five rebounds, two assists, one steal, and two blocks in 26 minutes in a recent game. Both are worth a look as deep-league streaming options.

Terance Mann • PG • Nets

Terance Mann is Unavailable on Friday

Brooklyn Nets guard Terance Mann (illness) has been ruled out ahead of Friday's game against the New York Knicks. He was a late addition to the injury report due to an illness. It appears to be significant enough to hold him out of Friday's game. Mann has only been playing minutes in the teens lately anyway. His absence won't mean too much for the Nets' overall rotation. Drake Powell, Nolan Traore, and Ben Saraf should absorb the extra minutes. At this point in the season, the Nets are giving their younger players more looks, so Mann won't be an ideal option.

Ziaire Williams • SF • Nets

Ziaire Williams to Play on Friday

Brooklyn Nets forward Ziaire Williams (foot) is available to play ahead of Friday's game against the New York Knicks. Williams will shake off the questionable tag and suit up despite dealing with left foot soreness. The Nets are shorthanded right now, so Williams will likely be asked to play an expanded role. Over the last three games, Williams is averaging 7.0 points and 1.3 steals across 20.2 minutes per game. Williams isn't anything more than a low-end streaming option in deep leagues right now.

Mar 20

Ben Saraf • PG • Nets

Ben Saraf is Available on Friday

Brooklyn Nets guard Ben Saraf (foot) is available to play ahead of Friday's game against the New York Knicks. Saraf is back in the mix after sitting out Wednesday's loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder due to a foot issue. The rookie guard figures to resume his role as the backup point guard to Nolan Traore. He has been playing better lately, with 10 points or more in four straight games. Saraf could be someone worth looking at as a streaming option in deep leagues.

Noah Clowney Won't Play Friday Vs. New York

Brooklyn Nets forward/center Noah Clowney (wrist) will miss Friday's game against the Knicks after injuring his wrist in Wednesday's loss to the Thunder. His absence should open extra frontcourt minutes, with Danny Wolf likely to remain in the starting lineup despite limited recent fantasy production. Josh Minott could also see a larger role after finishing with nine points, two three-pointers, and three steals in 17 minutes, giving him some appeal as a steals streamer. Both could be considered in deeper leagues, while Chaney Johnson remains more of a situational option during the fantasy playoffs.

Michael Porter Jr. to be Re-Evaluated in 2-3 Weeks

Brooklyn Nets forward Michael Porter Jr. (hamstring) is going to be shut down for a few weeks. Porter has been diagnosed with a left hamstring strain that could keep him sidelined for the rest of the regular season. The plan is for Porter to be shut down and re-evaluated in 2-3 weeks. The Nets are playing for lottery odds at this point, so they have little incentive to bring back Porter this season. If he returns after three weeks, Porter would return with only two or three games left anyway. With this news, fantasy managers in redraft formats are likely safe to move on. The absence of Porter should mean increased roles for Danny Wolf and Ziaire Williams. Right now, Wolf is the more consistent fantasy option, but both players should have rising value with Porter out.

Noah Clowney Exits Early Wednesday Due to Wrist Injury

Brooklyn Nets forward/center Noah Clowney (wrist) is out for the remainder of Wednesday's tilt against Oklahoma City, the team announced. Clowney sprained his right wrist and will call it a night after logging only eight minutes. He tallied three points and two rebounds. Clowney's return from a one-game absence bumped Ziaire Williams to the bench on Wednesday, but he may enjoy a larger workload again without him. There will also be more opportunities for Chaney Johnson, Josh Minott, and Jalen Wilson.

Michael Porter Jr. • SF • Nets

Michael Porter Jr. May Sit Out Again Wednesday

Brooklyn Nets forward Michael Porter Jr. (ankle) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Thunder after missing three straight contests. If he remains out, Danny Wolf could continue seeing expanded run after posting eight points, five rebounds, four assists, and two blocks in 24 minutes as a starter last game. Ziaire Williams also played 20 minutes with seven points and two steals and could be a deep-league option for defensive stats. Porter's absence would keep extra usage available for Williams and Wolf, while Jalen Wilson and Josh Minott remain deeper rotation fliers if minutes open.

Noah Clowney Sidelined Monday Versus Trail Blazers

Brooklyn Nets forward/center Noah Clowney (rest) has been ruled out for Monday's matchup against the Trail Blazers as the team manages his workload. His absence should open additional minutes in the frontcourt, with Danny Wolf coming off a 15-point, 10-rebound performance with two assists and one three-pointer in 27 minutes last game. Wolf looks like a solid streaming option while the opportunity remains. Josh Minott could also see more chances after scoring 14 points with three three-pointers in 22 minutes. Nicolas Claxton's (rest) return should help solidify the rotation and may cut into the upside of Brooklyn's other big men.

Michael Porter Jr. to Miss Third Straight Game

Brooklyn Nets forward Michael Porter Jr. (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Trail Blazers, marking his third straight absence as he continues to recover from a right ankle sprain. Danny Wolf should continue seeing a larger role after producing 15 points, 10 rebounds, two assists, and one three-pointer in 27 minutes as a starter in the last game. Wolf looks like a solid streaming option. Ziaire Williams and Josh Minott could also see more opportunities after combining for 23 points and five three-pointers, though both remain riskier fantasy plays due to fluctuating roles.
