Nicolas Claxton Stats

Brooklyn Nets center Nicolas Claxton wasn't a factor in the Game 2 postseason loss to Philly. He failed to register a single point in this one and had just six rebounds and two assists. The 24-year-old has struggled offensively during the series thus far, averaging only 2.5 points in 25.5 minutes. However, Claxton may get more involved on Thursday night for Game 3 if head coach Jacque Vaughn ditches the small-ball approach.

Brooklyn Nets center Nicolas Claxton (thumb/heel) has been ruled out of Thursday's game versus the Milwaukee Bucks. Claxton appears to be dealing with a couple injuries, but the Nets are entering a back-to-back set and have already ruled out multiple players. With Claxton unable to go, newly acquired Nerlens Noel may end up in the starting lineup. Noel offers elite upside in defensive stats, but has historically not produced much else. Day'Ron Sharpe should also enter the rotation and is a low end option for deeper leagues.

Brooklyn Nets center Nicolas Claxton (hamstring) will suit up on Saturday against the Philadelphia 76ers. He didn't play in Thursday's win over the Chicago Bulls because of right hamstring tightness, which allowed Day'Ron Sharpe to get the start and finish two points shy of a double-double. However, with Claxton back in the mix, Sharpe's streaming window has closed. Claxton has averaged 18.5 points, 7.5 rebounds, and 2.5 blocks in his two meetings with Philly this season, so he must be in every fantasy starting lineup imaginable.

Brooklyn Nets center Nicolas Claxton (hamstring) is expected to play on Saturday against the 76ers. Claxton has had a fantastic season, averaging a career-high 13.2 points, 9.2 rebounds, and 2.6 blocks. However, he didn't play in Thursday's win over the Chicago Bulls because of right hamstring soreness, allowing Day'Ron Sharpe to enter the starting lineup and finish two points shy of a double-double. Although Claxton has done enough for fantasy managers to be a routine starter, he'll have to contend with Joel Embiid. But with Embiid dealing with lingering foot soreness of late, there's a chance he may not be available.
