Nicolas Claxton Available Wednesday

Brooklyn Nets center Nicolas Claxton (personal) will return from a two-game absence on Wednesday against the Orlando Magic. He missed a pair of games last week for personal reasons. While Claxton wasn't at Tuesday's practice, the team has not listed him on the injury report, indicating that he is ready to rejoin the lineup. Claxton's return will bump Day'Ron Sharpe to the bench, significantly lowering his fantasy value. Orlando has done a decent job defensively against centers this season and limited Claxton to 13 points and five rebounds earlier in the campaign.

Michael Porter Jr. Off Injury Report, Set to Face Nuggets

Brooklyn Nets small forward Michael Porter Jr. (illness) is good to go for their contest against the Denver Nuggets. Porter has missed the past two games with an illness, but is off the injury report and set to face his former team. In his first season with the Nets, Porter has had a career season, averaging a career-high 25.8 points per game, with 7.5 rebounds and 3.3 assists. The Nets' offense has struggled without their leading scorer, totaling under 100 points in both games Porter missed. With added motivation facing the team that traded him earlier this offseason, expect Porter to be a full-go and to have a significant share of the volume on Sunday.

Nicolas Claxton Sidelined Versus Nuggets

Brooklyn Nets center Nicolas Claxton (personal) will miss a second straight game Sunday against Denver, with his next chance to return Wednesday versus Orlando. Claxton's absence once again elevates Day'Ron Sharpe into a high-utility fantasy role. Sharpe started Friday's loss to Washington and delivered 14 points, nine rebounds, three assists, two steals, and two blocks in 30 minutes, continuing his trend as a strong per-minute producer whenever Claxton sits. Sharpe profiles as an automatic short-term stream and viable standard-league option, while Noah Clowney and Danny Wolf see modest frontcourt minutes without consistent fantasy floors.

Michael Porter Jr. Remains Sidelined on Friday

Brooklyn Nets forward Michael Porter Jr. (illness) will remain on the bench for Friday's game against the Washington Wizards. Porter will miss both legs of the back-to-back set due to a lingering illness. This comes at a bad time with Nicolas Claxton (personal) and Cam Thomas (rest) both sidelined as well. The Nets will likely use a committee approach to fill the void at the forward spot. This should mean that Ziaire Williams, Jalen Wilson, and Tyrese Martin should all get more playing time. Between the three, Williams offers the highest upside in terms of streaming value for Friday's slate. Terance Mann (hip) is also worth a look, but is currently listed as questionable for this game.

Cam Thomas Resting on Friday

Brooklyn Nets guard Cam Thomas (rest) won't be available for the upcoming game against the Washington Wizards on Friday. This is the second leg of a back-to-back set, so Thomas will head to the bench for rest purposes. This is bad timing for the Nets with Michael Porter Jr. (illness) and Nicolas Claxton (personal) also ruled out on Friday. When healthy, Thomas has been productive, so fantasy managers should hold him through injury maintenance days. Ziaire Williams could be asked to play heavy minutes with Terance Mann (hip) questionable for this game. Williams finished with 14 points, two rebounds, and five steals across 27 minutes on Thursday. He brings enough to the table to warrant streaming while the Nets are banged up.

Nicolas Claxton Ruled Out for Friday's Game

Brooklyn Nets center Nicolas Claxton (personal) has been ruled out ahead of Friday's game against the Washington Wizards. Claxton is currently away from the team due to personal reasons, which will put the Nets in a tough spot. They'll look to Day'Ron Sharpe and Danny Wolf to take on larger roles in the rotation. Sharpe is the better all-around player, so he's the more trustworthy streaming choice between the two big men. Sharpe has mostly been playing minutes in the teens and has been able to produce at least low-end streaming value.

Egor Demin Won't Suit Up Against Houston

Brooklyn Nets guard Egor Demin (back) won't play on Thursday against Houston. He had 23 points in Monday's loss to the Golden State Warriors. However, the rookie will sit this one out because of back soreness. With Michael Porter Jr. (illness) also sidelined, Noah Clowney, Danny Wolf, and Nicolas Claxton are all in line for more production. Cam Thomas, who has been limited since returning from a hamstring injury, should be considered the favorite to lead the team in scoring.

Michael Porter Jr. Out on Thursday

Brooklyn Nets forward Michael Porter Jr. (illness) won't play on Thursday against Houston. He had 27 points, nine rebounds, five assists, and three steals in Monday's 120-107 loss to the Golden State Warriors. Unfortunately, Porter popped up on the injury report because of an illness, so he'll miss his first game in nearly a month. With Egor Demin (back) also unavailable, Brooklyn may get more production from Noah Clowney, Danny Wolf, and Nicolas Claxton. Cam Thomas, who had been limited since returning from a hamstring injury, has the best chance of leading the team in scoring despite likely logging fewer minutes than usual.

Michael Porter Jr. Battling Illness, Questionable Thursday

Brooklyn Nets forward Michael Porter Jr. (illness) may miss the first game of 2026, as the team considers him questionable for Thursday's meeting with the Houston Rockets. He is battling an illness and may depart the lineup after posting at least 24 points in five consecutive games. Individually, it has been a great campaign for Porter Jr. in Brooklyn, as the former Nugget has notched a team-high 25.8 points per game, along with 7.5 rebounds and 3.3 assists. If Porter Jr. is unavailable, the remaining starters will have increased opportunities on offense. Overall, the Nets may have three new faces in the first unit on Thursday, with Egor Demin (back) ruled out and Terance Mann (hip) questionable.

Ziaire Williams • SF • Nets

Ziaire Williams Active Against Warriors

Brooklyn Nets forward Ziaire Williams (ankle) will play on Monday night against the Golden State Warriors. He is ready to return from a one-game absence after the team initially listed him as probable for the matchup. Williams has taken a step back in 2025-26, averaging 8.7 points and 2.5 rebounds in 22.2 minutes. After starting 45 of 63 contests last season, he has been limited to only two starts this campaign. As a reserve, Williams does not have any fantasy value.

Cam Thomas Cleared to Return on Saturday Night

Brooklyn Nets guard Cam Thomas (hamstring) will play on Saturday against Minnesota. He hasn't been on the floor in nearly two months, so he'll presumably see fewer than the 28.3 minutes he averaged before suffering the hamstring strain. However, despite the chance of a reduced workload, Thomas is a must-start in all fantasy setups. It's unknown how his presence will impact others, although his return could severely decrease the statistical contributions of Michael Porter Jr., who has averaged a career-high 25.7 points.

Terance Mann, Ben Saraf Available for Nets Tuesday

Brooklyn Nets guard/forward Terance Mann (illness) and guard Ben Saraf (ankle) will be in the lineup on Tuesday against the Philadelphia 76ers. Saraf returns from a four-game absence, while Mann has been cleared to play after picking up a late questionable tag. Mann is a starter for Brooklyn and holds more fantasy value than Saraf. With that said, the Nets' offense mostly runs through other players, and Mann has been limited to only 8.4 points and 3.7 assists per game this season.

Noah Clowney • PF • Nets

Noah Clowney On Track To Suit Up Against Pelicans

Brooklyn Nets forward/center Noah Clowney (back) is probable for Saturday's matchup with New Orleans after continuing his strong stretch with 29 points, four rebounds, three assists, and three blocks in 34 minutes Thursday. Clowney has averaged 17.8 points, 4.2 rebounds, and 2.6 assists across his past five games while shooting 48.1 percent from the field, solidifying his role as a high-minute starter. With Cam Thomas (hamstring) and Haywood Highsmith (knee) still out, Clowney should continue seeing strong usage, while Ziaire Williams and rookie Danny Wolf remain the primary depth options behind him.

Terance Mann • PG • Nets

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 • PF • Nets

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.

Dec 1

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 • PG • Nets

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.
