Egor Demin Fantasy Stats

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.

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.

Brooklyn Nets point guard Egor Demin (foot/rest) has been ruled out ahead of Monday night's matchup with the Houston Rockets. The rookie will be given the night off as the team plays its third game in four days, and he continues to recover from a plantar fascia tear suffered in July. Demin has averaged 22 minutes per game off the bench for Brookly, with the team utilizing the 6'9" playmaker in a variety of ways. Demin has averaged 8.7 points, five rebounds and 2.3 assists through his first three games. Demin's absence should benefit Ben Saraf who has been limited to just 17.7 MPG despite starting every contest this season.

Brooklyn Nets guard Egor Demin (foot) has been ruled out on Monday for the contest against the Houston Rockets. The team is holding him out due to injury management for his left foot. The rookie has been efficient so far shooting the ball, but has yet to register a single two-point field goal attempt. Through three appearances, he's averaging 8.7 points, 5.0 rebounds, 2.3 assists, and 2.3 turnovers across 22.0 minutes per game. While he watches from the sidelines on Monday, Tyrese Martin is likely to see some more minutes, while Tyson Etienne or Nolan Traore might be able to get into the game. All three aren't recommended as streaming options since they'll be further down the bench type of options.

Brooklyn Nets guard Egor Demin (foot) will not be available for Friday's exhibition game against the Suns. Demin is dealing with a plantar fascia tear and has not been cleared for contact in practice. The No. 8 overall pick in the NBA Draft last year could be lined up for a big role with the Nets when he's healthy, but it isn't clear when he'll be ready to take the court. Earlier this week, General Manager Sean Marks said that the expectation is that Demin will be ready to go by opening night. For now, Ben Saraf and Nolan Traore should get more opportunities in the preseason. Saraf started the Nets' first exhibition game and will likely get the nod again on Friday

Brooklyn Nets guard Egor Demin (foot) has been "a little bit limited" with a plantar-fascia tear since after Summer League, according to general manager Sean Marks. Marks said that Demin "hasn't potentially had the summer that he would have loved." Marks and Demin said that the No. 8 overall pick in last year's NBA Draft is expected to be ready to go at the start of the season, and Demin said it's "not a big deal." Demin said the injury was not from a one-time event but was more a product of workload over time. Before missing some time at the end of summer league, the 19-year-old averaged 11.3 points, 4.3 rebounds, and a steal in three games while hitting 43.5% of his threes on 23 attempts. He will need to continue to build up physically before the start of the season, and he could be the Nets' starting point guard soon if he can overcome this foot issue.

Brooklyn Nets rookie point guard Egor Demin is expected to log heavy minutes in his first NBA season. Drafted eighth overall out of BYU, Demin enters training camp as the projected starter at point guard on a roster lacking an established floor general. While there will be competition from fringe starters, Demin's playmaking and high basketball IQ should give him the edge. The 6'8" guard set a BYU freshman record with 180 assists last season and brings rare size and versatility to the backcourt. His length and instincts allow him to defend multiple positions, which should help him earn early trust from the coaching staff. Fantasy managers in deeper leagues should keep Demin on their radar, as his combination of minutes, playmaking, and defensive upside could make him a sneaky contributor right away.
