Nic Claxton Nic Claxton records 16 points, seven rebounds
Fri, Mar 27, 2026, 7:39 PM
Nic Claxton finished Friday's loss to the Lakers with 16 points (8-of-10 FGs), seven rebounds, three assists and one blocked shot.
Analysis: Claxton shot 80 percent from the field and was solid on the glass, providing good value in those categories. However, he logged 23 minutes and has not played 30 or more minutes in a game since February 24. Given where the Nets are in the standings, that's unlikely to change between now and the end of the regular season. While Claxton is not a player who should be dropped in all leagues, fantasy managers in 12-team formats who need more production for Sunday's action need to seek alternatives. |

Josh Minott Josh Minott scores team-high 18 points vs. Lakers
Fri, Mar 27, 2026, 7:38 PM
Josh Minott amassed 18 points (6-of-12 FGs, 2-of-4 FTs), six rebounds, one steal and four three-pointers in Friday's loss to the Lakers.
Analysis: It is anyone's guess which reserve frontcourt player will play the most minutes for the Nets on any given night. Against the Lakers, it was Minott, who was effective in 26 minutes on the floor. Chaney Johnson (two points, two rebounds and two assists), who's had his moments recently, played 14 minutes. In theory, Minott's superior night should earn him more minutes on Sunday when the Nets host the Kings, but that hasn't been the case. Unless you're competing in a 30-deep league, Minott and Johnson are too risky to roster. |

Ziaire Williams Ziaire Williams records 16 points, three steals
Fri, Mar 27, 2026, 7:37 PM
Ziaire Williams tallied 16 points (6-of-14 FGs, 3-of-6 FTs), two rebounds, two assists, three steals and one three-pointer in Friday's loss to the Lakers.
Analysis: Williams has started each of the Nets' last five games, and he's scored at least 16 points in each. Over the past week, he has provided sixth-round value in eight-cat formats. As long as Williams is in the starting lineup, he's capable of providing the value needed to be an impactful addition during the silly season. The Nets play once more in Week 22, on Sunday against the Kings, which would be a good spot to stream Williams if he's available. |

Noah Clowney Noah Clowney (wrist) available vs. Los Angeles
Fri, Mar 27, 2026, 1:52 PM
NBA Injury Report
Noah Clowney (wrist) is available to play against the Lakers on Friday.
Analysis: Clowney has officially been cleared after initially being listed as probable for this game. He'll return from a four-game absence, which will likely push Ziaire Williams back to the bench after he averaged 17.5 points and 2.8 steals during four game as a starter. |

Noah Clowney Noah Clowney (wrist) probable vs. Lakers
Thu, Mar 26, 2026, 2:51 PM
NBA Injury Report
Noah Clowney (wrist) is probable for Friday's game against the Lakers.
Analysis: Clowney has missed Brooklyn's last four games, with Ziaire Williams replacing him in the starting lineup. If Clowney plays against the Lakers, Williams is the player most likely headed to the bench, which would limit his fantasy value. |

Jalen Wilson Jalen Wilson adds 15 points off the bench in loss
Wed, Mar 25, 2026, 8:04 PM
Jalen Wilson finished Wednesday's loss to the Warriors with 15 points (4-of-9 FGs, 6-of-8 FTs), three rebounds, two assists and one three-pointer.
Analysis: Wilson recorded his third straight double-digit scoring performance on Wednesday, largely thanks to a combination of two-point scoring and free-throw production. As a result, he tied a season-high in points and continues to show some encouraging signs down the stretch of his third NBA season. However, he's not someone fantasy managers should consider rostering. |

Ziaire Williams Ziaire Williams records six steals in loss to GSW
Wed, Mar 25, 2026, 7:57 PM
Ziaire Williams added 19 points (6-of-11 FGs, 6-of-7 FTs), one rebound, two assists, six steals and one three-pointer in Wednesday's loss to the Warriors.
Analysis: Williams impressed on both ends of the floor in his 24 minutes of game action. Offensively, he shot the ball well from the field and produced at the charity stripe to end with a team-high in points. Yet, his activity on the defensive end is what really yielded some eye-popping numbers, specifically, how his disruptiveness led to him collecting over one-third of the team's 17 steals. Williams has now tallied at least 16 points in four straight games and multiple steals in three consecutive games. He's rarely playing more than half the game on most nights recently, but could be a useful streaming option in fantasy leagues. |

Terance Mann Terance Mann (rest) off injury report vs. GSW
Tue, Mar 24, 2026, 2:38 PM
NBA Injury Report
Terance Mann (rest) is not on the injury report for Wednesday's game against the Warriors.
Analysis: Mann will be back after missing one game, which allowed Josh Minott to return to the rotation and start. Minott should be pushed back to the bench with Mann back in the lineup. |

Noah Clowney Noah Clowney (wrist) remains out vs. Golden State
Tue, Mar 24, 2026, 2:18 PM
NBA Injury Report
Noah Clowney (wrist) has been ruled out against the Warriors on Wednesday.
Analysis: Clowney will miss a fourth straight game, which mean Ziaire Williams should be in line for another start. Williams has been solid as a starter recently, averaging 17.0 points and 1.7 steals during the last three games with Clowney out. |

Josh Minott Josh Minott records 15/5/1/2 line vs. Portland
Mon, Mar 23, 2026, 6:50 PM
Josh Minott accounted for 15 points (5-of-9 FGs, 3-of-4 FTs), five rebounds, one assist, two steals and two three-pointers in Monday's loss to the Trail Blazers.
Analysis: Inserted into the Nets' starting lineup after not playing at all in Sunday's loss to the Kings, Minott logged a team-high 33 minutes in Portland. He shot the ball relatively well, including a 2-of-4 night from beyond the arc. While Minott has put forth some very good efforts since the All-Star break, the inconsistent opportunities make it challenging to trust him in fantasy leagues fully. Chaney Johnson played 26 minutes off the bench, finishing with 12 points, five rebounds and three assists. He's another player who has received opportunities to contribute, but not to the extent that he should be rostered in most leagues. |

Ziaire Williams Ziaire Williams scores 16 points vs. Portland
Mon, Mar 23, 2026, 6:49 PM
Ziaire Williams finished Monday's loss to the Trail Blazers with 16 points (4-of-7 FGs, 7-of-7 FTs), four rebounds, one assist, two steals and one three-pointer.
Analysis: Williams played 24 minutes on Monday, and he finished a blocked shot shy of a complete stat line. He has started the Nets' last three games, scoring in double figures in each. However, Williams has not played more than 25 minutes in any of those appearances, which limits his upside. There isn't much to gain from rostering Williams at this point in the season, given the playing time. |

Josh Minott BKN starts Traoré, Williams, Wilson, Minott, Clax
Mon, Mar 23, 2026, 3:38 PM
NBA Lineups
Nolan Traoré, Ziaire Williams, Jalen Wilson, Josh Minott and Nic Claxton will start Monday's game against the Trail Blazers.
Analysis: The Nets have three new starters for Monday's game, including Claxton, who missed Sunday's loss to the Kings. Also in the lineup are Wilson and Minott, with the latter receiving a DNP-CD in Sacramento. In addition to not having Danny Wolf (ankle), the Nets are also without Terance Mann and Drake Powell, hence the three vacancies in the starting lineup. |

Terance Mann Terance Mann, Drake Powell out Monday vs. POR
Mon, Mar 23, 2026, 10:01 AM
Erik Slater
According to Nets reporter Erik Slater, Terance Mann (rest) and Drake Powell (knee) are out for Monday's matchup with the Trail Blazers.
Analysis: Brooklyn lists a whopping seven players as out tonight, as the Nets speed toward a top pick in the 2026 NBA Draft. With Mann and Powell out, more minutes should be available for Nolan Traoré, Ziaire Williams, Ben Saraf and Ochai Agbaji. |

Nic Claxton Danny Wolf, Noah Clowney out, Nic Claxton in
Mon, Mar 23, 2026, 9:53 AM
Erik Slater
Nets reporter Erik Slater reports that Danny Wolf (ankle) and Noah Clowney (wrist) are out for Monday's matchup with the Trail Blazers, and Nic Claxton (rest) is available.
Analysis: Claxton sat out Sunday, but he'll be available for the second leg of Brooklyn's back-to-back set. Claxton should see significant work in the frontcourt, especially since Day'Ron Sharpe (thumb) has also been ruled out. |

Ziaire Williams Ziaire Williams records 18/2/3/2/1 line vs. SAC
Sun, Mar 22, 2026, 2:47 PM
Ziaire Williams finished Sunday's loss to the Kings with 18 points (6-of-11 FGs, 4-of-5 FTs), two rebounds, three assists, two steals, one block and two three-pointers.
Analysis: A starter in Brooklyn's last two games, Williams has totaled 35 points, six rebounds, four assists, three steals, one blocked shot and four three-pointers in losses to the Knicks and Kings. His value moving forward depends on the availability of Noah Clowney (wrist), who did not play in either matchup. The Nets play in Portland on Monday, and Williams may be worth a look in deep leagues if Clowney misses another game. |

Terance Mann BKN starts Traoré, Powell, Mann, Williams, Wolf
Sun, Mar 22, 2026, 11:41 AM
NBA Lineups
Nolan Traoré, Drake Powell, Terance Mann, Ziaire Williams and Danny Wolf will start Sunday's game against the Kings.
Analysis: Mann is back after sitting out Friday's loss to the Knicks, and he will be in the starting lineup. The Nets will not have Nic Claxton, as he is resting, which shifts Wolf to center. |

Sun, Mar 22, 2026, 9:55 AM
NBA Injury Report
Terance Mann (illness) is available for Sunday's game against the Kings.
Analysis: Mann is good to go after sitting out Friday's loss to the Knicks with an illness. He'll provide added depth off the bench, with Malachi Smith possibly losing out on playing time. |
|
Terance Mann Terance Mann (illness) probable vs. Sacramento
Sat, Mar 21, 2026, 3:00 PM
NBA Injury Report
Terance Mann (illness) is probable for Sunday's game against the Kings.
Analysis: Mann is on track to return after sitting out Friday's loss to the Knicks. His return may result in fewer minutes for Malachi Smith, who played 19 minutes off the bench the last time out. |
|
Noah Clowney Noah Clowney (wrist) to remain out vs. Kings
Sat, Mar 21, 2026, 2:55 PM
NBA Injury Report
Noah Clowney (wrist) is out for Sunday's game against the Kings.
Analysis: Clowney sprained his right wrist during Wednesday's loss to the Thunder, and Sunday's game will be the second that he's missed. Ziaire Williams performed well in a spot start on Friday against the Knicks, and he should retain that role in the first game of the Nets' road trip. |
|
Nic Claxton Nic Claxton (rest) ruled out vs. Sacramento
Sat, Mar 21, 2026, 2:52 PM
NBA Injury Report
Nic Claxton (rest) is out for Sunday's game against the Kings.
Analysis: Claxton will sit out the first game of the Hawks' west coast trip, leaving a sizable hole in the Nets' starting lineup. With Noah Clowney also out, Josh Minott and Chaney Johnson will figure prominently in the rotation on Sunday. |
