Nicolas Claxton Fantasy Stats

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.

Brooklyn Nets center Nicolas Claxton (rest) is not listed on the injury report for Tuesday's contest against the New Orleans Pelicans. The lanky big man looks set to return to action after missing Sunday's meeting with the Toronto Raptors for rest purposes. Drew Timme replaced Claxton in the starting lineup on Sunday, notching 13 points with seven rebounds, two assists, and one steal. On Tuesday, Timme is expected to return to the bench, which will negatively impact his fantasy value. Claxton has averaged 10.3 points, 7.6 rebounds, and 1.5 blocks for the season.

Brooklyn Nets center Nicolas Claxton (rest) won't play on Sunday against the visiting Raptors. The Nets are limping to the finish line, so Claxton may only make a few more appearances the rest of the way. With Day'Ron Sharpe (knee) and Noah Clowney (ankle) also sidelined, Drew Timme, who has averaged 11.3 and 5.0 rebounds in four professional appearances, could find his way into the starting lineup or at least see enough minutes from off the bench to remain a practical streaming option.

Brooklyn Nets center Nicolas Claxton (rest) won't play in Saturday's game against Washington. He logged only 19 minutes in Friday's loss to the Los Angeles Clippers, finishing with six points, five rebounds, and two blocks. But with the Nets unable to earn a Play-In berth, Claxton could see less work for the remainder of the 2024-25 campaign. Day'Ron Sharpe (knee) is also out, meaning Trendon Watford could find himself in the middle on Saturday night. Drew Timme, who had a double-double in the first appearance of his career on Friday night, should also see some action.

Brooklyn Nets center Nicolas Claxton (rest) will skip Saturday's contest against the Boston Celtics. The team plans to rest him for the first leg of a back-to-back. It's safe to assume Claxton will be reinserted in the lineup for Sunday's matchup against the Atlanta Hawks. Noah Clowney (ankle) and Trendon Watford (hamstring) also won't feature on Saturday, leaving Day'Ron Sharpe as Brooklyn's only real option at center. Sharpe is likely to log his second start of the campaign. He went into beast mode in his first start, racking up 25 points, 15 rebounds, five assists, three blocks, and two steals in a 129-121 loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder on Feb. 26.

C.J. Holmes of the New York Daily News reports that Brooklyn Nets center Nicolas Claxton will serve a one-game suspension during Wednesday's matchup against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Claxton received the suspension after picking up his sixth flagrant foul of the season against the Wizards on Monday. The 25-year-old big man will be eligible to return on Friday against the Trail Blazers. In Claxton's absence, Day'Ron Sharpe and Trendon Watford are expected to see increased opportunities in the Nets' frontcourt on Wednesday.
