Brooklyn Nets forward/center Noah Clowney (hip) won't play in Monday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. Clowney could have been in line to start the game with Ben Simmons (back) out and Nicolas Claxton (hamstring) still working his way back. Yet, that won't happen, although Clowney hasn't been a reliable fantasy option anyway. With that in mind, Claxton and Dorian Finney-Smith may handle things underneath the basket, with Ziaire Williams and Jalen Wilson also anticipated to see more action from off the bench.
Brooklyn Nets power forward Noah Clowney (back) is probable for Friday's game against the Chicago Bulls. Clowney is dealing with a back contusion, but he is expected to play on Friday evening. The rookie spent most of this season in the G League, but he's received rotation minutes over the past week. Clowney has averaged 12 minutes over the past four games to show Brooklyn's desire to give him more time. The Nets' lackluster season nearing an end should see younger players like Clowney getting more consistent time. However, Clowney will unlikely make a strong fantasy impact over starters like Nicolas Claxton, Mikal Bridges, and Dorian Finney-Smith.
