Nicolas Claxton Fantasy Stats

Brooklyn Nets center Nicolas Claxton (hip) has been ruled out for Wednesday's matchup with the Indiana Pacers. Due to a sore right hip, he will be unavailable for only the third time this season. Claxton missed a pair of games in early January, and Day'Ron Sharpe stepped in for him as the starting center. Sharpe will likely return to the first unit on Wednesday, having averaged 12.0 points, 7.3 rebounds, 4.0 assists, and 2.3 steals in his previous starts this season.

Brooklyn Nets center Nicolas Claxton (hip) could miss Wednesday's game against the Indiana Pacers after landing on the injury report with a questionable tag. Claxton was not listed on the initial injury report on Tuesday, but the team later added him because of right hip soreness. It would be a shame if Claxton had to sit out Wednesday's action, as he just posted a season-high 28 points on Monday night against Chicago. Day'Ron Sharpe's fantasy stock would get a big boost if Claxton gave up his starting spot to him on Wednesday. In three previous starts this season, Sharpe has averaged 12.0 points, 7.3 rebounds, 4.0 assists, 1.0 blocks, and 2.3 steals.

Brooklyn Nets center Nicolas Claxton (finger) is scheduled for imaging after hurting his right pinky during Friday's double-overtime loss, though he played through it and closed the game. Claxton posted 18 points, nine rebounds, four assists, and two blocks in 39 minutes, keeping his per-game production intact but introducing short-term risk. If he misses time, Day'Ron Sharpe becomes a priority streamer after averaging 15.5 points, 7.5 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 2.5 steals, and 1.5 blocks in 31.0 minutes across two recent starts. Sharpe offers strong category juice, while Claxton should be held until his status is clearer.

Brooklyn Nets center Nicolas Claxton will move back into the starting five ahead of Friday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. Claxton returned on Wednesday after missing two games due to personal reasons. He operated under a minutes limit on Wednesday as the team wanted to ease him back into action. He'll return to the starting five on Friday, which will shift Day'Ron Sharpe to the bench. Claxton is averaging 13.3 points, 7.8 rebounds, and 4.1 assists across 29.9 minutes per game this season. He appears to be a full-go now, so fantasy managers can get him back into their lineups ahead of tip-off.

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.

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.

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.

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).

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.

Brooklyn Nets center Nicolas Claxton is both physically and mentally ready for the new campaign, Brian Lewis of The New York Post reports. Claxton was limited by a back problem last season and wasn't as productive as he wanted to be. Still, Claxton had a fairly decent year, averaging 10.3 points, 7.4 rebounds, and 1.4 blocks in 26.9 minutes. However, Claxton has previously shown that he can come close to averaging a double-double when healthy, and before last season, he recorded at least two blocks per game in back-to-back years. Claxton could be a highly valuable addition to fantasy squads if he regains his top form.
