Michael Porter Jr. Michael Porter Jr. hits four three-pointers Monday
Mon, Nov 2, 2026, 4:17 PM
Michael Porter Jr. produced 18 points (6-of-13 FGs, 2-of-3 FTs), five rebounds, two assists, one steal, one block and four three-pointers in Monday's loss to the Knicks.
Analysis: Porter shot 4-of-11 from three on Monday, but he was at his best during the third quarter. The Nets forward scored 13 of his 18 points in the period, and Brooklyn outscored New York 35-24. Unfortunately for fantasy managers and Nets fans, MPJ and the Nets went cold in the fourth, scoring just 11 points. The Nets return home on Wednesday to host the Hornets. |
Xavier Cooks Mikel Brown Jr. (back) scores 13 points vs. NYK
Mon, Nov 2, 2026, 4:17 PM
Mikel Brown Jr. (back) tallied 13 points (5-of-13 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), two rebounds, three assists and one three-pointer in Monday's loss to the Knicks.
Analysis: Brown returned to the Nets' rotation on Monday after sitting out Sunday's win over the Pacers. The rookie guard played 27 minutes and has played at least 22 minutes in each of his last three appearances. Brown shot 1-of-8 from three on Monday, but at times he showed why the Nets selected him sixth overall in June's draft. Early on, the Knicks struggled to keep Brown from getting to his spots, with the rookie scoring seven points in the first half. He'll be a fun player to watch develop. |
Julius Randle Julius Randle posts 21/11/2/1 line vs. Knicks
Mon, Nov 2, 2026, 4:16 PM
Julius Randle recorded 21 points (5-of-16 FGs, 11-of-15 FTs), 11 rebounds, two assists and one steal in Monday's loss to the Knicks.
Analysis: Randle has scored 20 or more points in two straight games, but he struggled on Monday. The Nets forward missed multiple shots around the basket and had two critical turnovers as the Knicks pulled away in the fourth quarter. The good news for fantasy managers was that Randle finished with his first double-double of the season. He'll look to be more efficient when the Nets host the Hornets on Wednesday. |
Day'Ron Sharpe Day'Ron Sharpe records 15 points, 13 rebounds
Sun, Nov 1, 2026, 1:55 PM
Day'Ron Sharpe amassed 15 points (5-of-7 FGs, 4-of-5 FTs), 13 rebounds, four assists and one three-pointer in Sunday's win over the Pacers.
Analysis: Playing against a Pacers team without Ivica Zubac or Obi Toppin, Sharpe had his most productive game of the season. The Nets center recorded his first double-double in six games, finishing with new highs in points and rebounds. Sharpe didn't record any defensive stats, ending his two-game streak with at least one steal and one block. He'll look to do more on that end of the floor on Monday when the Nets visit the Knicks. |

Julius Randle Julius Randle posts 20/5/6/2 line vs. Indiana
Sun, Nov 1, 2026, 1:55 PM
Julius Randle recorded 20 points (5-of-15 FGs, 6-of-6 FTs), five rebounds, six assists, two steals and four three-pointers in Sunday's win over the Pacers.
Analysis: Despite shooting 1-of-6 from inside the arc, Randle finished Sunday's victory with his third 20-point game of the season. Unfortunately for category league managers, Randle wasn't efficient, shooting 33.3 percent from the field and committing four turnovers. That said, his performance against the Pacers was better than Friday's showing against the Pistons. |

Michael Porter Jr. Michael Porter Jr. scores team-high 23 points
Sun, Nov 1, 2026, 1:54 PM
Michael Porter Jr. tallied 23 points (7-of-16 FGs, 6-of-9 FTs), nine rebounds, three assists, one steal and three three-pointers in Sunday's win over the Pacers.
Analysis: The Nets got their first win of the season on Sunday, and getting Porter involved early helped. The Nets forward scored seven points in the first quarter and 13 in the first half. After attempting nine shots in Friday's loss to the Pistons, Porter nearly matched that number in the first quarter (seven). He'll need to take a similar approach on Monday when the Nets begin a four-game week with a matchup with the Knicks. |

Xavier Cooks Mikel Brown Jr. (back) out Sunday vs. Indiana
Sat, Oct 31, 2026, 10:59 AM
Billy Reinhardt
Mikel Brown Jr. (back) is out for Sunday's game against the Pacers.
Analysis: Brown, who missed time with a sprained ankle, hasn't reached the point where the Nets feel comfortable with him playing back-to-backs. He'll sit on Sunday and should be available for Monday's game against the Knicks. |

Michael Porter Jr. Michael Porter Jr. with 13/7 in 26 minutes of play
Fri, Oct 30, 2026, 4:21 PM
Michael Porter Jr. put up 13 points (4-of-9 FGs, 3-of-3 FTs), seven rebounds, an assist, a block, and two 3-pointers on Friday.
Analysis: It was a typical Michael Porter Jr game where he got you points, rebounds, and not much else. He has gotten you some good steal numbers to start the year, but it's not likely that it's going to stick. The Nets struggled to score in this game, especially in the third quarter. You would want more than 9 shot attempts but it was just a bad game for the Brooklyn. |
Moritz Wagner Moritz with 16/8 in 23 minutes against Pistons
Fri, Oct 30, 2026, 4:18 PM
Mo Wagner scored 16 points (7-of-10 FGs, 1-of-1 FTs), eight rebounds, an assist, a steal, and a three pointer in 23 minutes.
Analysis: Wagner has long been a per minute monster and this has been his best game of the season. He's gotten more comfortable in the Nets system and his minutes have started to increase over the past few games. In redraft leagues, he is worth a stream if you need some rebounds, but his ceiling is capped by Day'Ron Sharpe. It would require an injury for his role to increase. |

Julius Randle Julius Randle put up 15/8 in 25 minutes in loss
Fri, Oct 30, 2026, 4:14 PM
Julius Randle had 15 points (4-of-13 FGs, 4-of-4 FTs), eight rebounds, three assists, three 3-pointers, and five turnovers in 110-94 loss to Pistons.
Analysis: Randle will have these inefficient games while stuffing the stat sheet in other areas including the turnovers. It's part of the deal when you have Randle. His role isn't going anywhere and his next opportunity to bounce back will be on Sunday against the Pacers. |

Xavier Cooks BKN starts Traoré, Johnson, MPJ, Randle, Sharpe
Fri, Oct 30, 2026, 1:12 PM
NBA Lineups
Nolan Traoré, Chaney Johnson, Michael Porter Jr., Julius Randle and Day'Ron Sharpe will start Friday's game against the Pistons.
Analysis: The Nets are without Egor Dëmin for Friday's game, so they're going with a bigger lineup. Johnson will make his first start of the season, making him worth a look in deep leagues. However, with 10 games on the schedule, he is not a must-add. |
Noah Clowney Noah Clowney (illness) upgraded to available
Fri, Oct 30, 2026, 12:00 PM
Sharif Keaton
Noah Clowney (illness) is available for Friday's game against the Pistons.
Analysis: Added to the Nets' injury report late Friday morning, Clowney will be available to play against the Pistons. Chaney Johnson and Josh Minott are likely to miss out on an increase in playing time. |

Noah Clowney Noah Clowney (illness) questionable Friday vs. DET
Fri, Oct 30, 2026, 5:39 AM
Erik Slater
Nets reporter Erik Slater reports that Noah Clowney (illness) is questionable for Friday's matchup with the Pistons.
Analysis: Clowney's late addition to the injury report doesn't bode well for his status ahead of Friday's tilt with Detroit. If he's ultimately ruled out, more minutes should be available for Josh Minott and Chaney Johnson. |

Xavier Cooks Mikel Brown Jr. hits four triples, scores 17
Tue, Oct 27, 2026, 5:11 PM
Mikel Brown Jr. amassed 17 points (5-of-17 FGs, 3-of-3 FTs), five rebounds, five assists and four three-pointers in Tuesday's loss to the Celtics.
Analysis: Active after sitting out Sunday's loss to the Pacers for injury management reasons, Brown played 28 minutes in Tuesday's overtime defeat. With Egor Dëmin (leg) leaving in the second quarter and Nolan Traoré (cramps) in the fourth, Brown gained valuable crunch-time experience. His three-pointer with two-tenths of a second remaining forced overtime, but Brown also missed a couple of close-range shots in the extra period that proved costly. Overall, this was an encouraging night for the rookie, even with the outcome and the low field-goal percentage. |

Michael Porter Jr. Michael Porter Jr. leads Nets in points, rebounds
Tue, Oct 27, 2026, 5:08 PM
Michael Porter Jr. tallied 27 points (8-of-16 FGs, 5-of-6 FTs), 12 rebounds, two assists, two blocks and six three-pointers in Tuesday's loss to the Celtics.
Analysis: Porter shot 6-of-12 from three on Tuesday, bouncing back from a 0-of-5 effort in Sunday's loss to the Pacers. He's made at least four three-pointers in three of Brooklyn's first four games, and that output is one reason MPJ has been close to a top-25 player through the season's first week. Another challenging matchup looms, however, as the Nets host the Pistons on Friday. |

Julius Randle Julius Randle scores 24 points in OT defeat
Tue, Oct 27, 2026, 5:08 PM
Julius Randle finished Tuesday's loss to the Celtics with 24 points (10-of-23 FGs, 4-of-5 FTs), nine rebounds, four assists and two steals.
Analysis: Randle fouled out late in overtime on Tuesday, but he posted a solid stat line before leaving. That said, he shot 0-of-5 from three and turned the ball over five times. Randle's had the ball in his hands a lot in Brooklyn's first four games, which has raised his fantasy ceiling. However, his four turnovers per game are an issue in nine-cat formats. |

Xavier Cooks Mikel Brown Jr. (ankle) off injury report vs. BOS
Mon, Oct 26, 2026, 10:54 AM
NBA Injury Report
Mikel Brown Jr. (ankle) is not on the injury report ahead of Tuesday's game against the Celtics.
Analysis: Brown sat out against the Pacers on Sunday, which was the second night of a back-to-back. They'll continue to be cautious with his ankle injury, which means he will likely remain on a minutes restriction against Boston. They have another back-to-back this weekend, so expect Brown to sit one of those games. |

Julius Randle Julius Randle dishes out seven assists vs. Pacers
Sun, Oct 25, 2026, 2:55 PM
Julius Randle finished Sunday's loss to the Pacers with 10 points (2-of-8 FGs, 6-of-8 FTs), seven rebounds, seven assists and one steal.
Analysis: Randle shot poorly on Sunday, but he posted solid rebounding and assist numbers. Technically speaking, Egor Dëmin is the Nets' starting point guard. However, Randle has facilitated a lot in the team's first three games, which is good news for fantasy managers who roster him. |

Day'Ron Sharpe Day'Ron Sharpe leads Nets starters with 11 points
Sun, Oct 25, 2026, 2:53 PM
Day'Ron Sharpe tallied 11 points (3-of-4 FGs, 4-of-7 FTs), four rebounds, one assist and one three-pointer in Sunday's loss to the Pacers.
Analysis: Sunday was a bad day for the Nets, who fell to 0-3 with a blowout loss to the Pacers. Sharpe shot the ball well from the field, but the overall production was underwhelming for a starting center. The promotion certainly raises his fantasy ceiling, but it may take time for Sharpe to deliver the top-100 return some managers hope for. The Nets play three games in Week 2, starting with the Celtics on Tuesday. |

Xavier Cooks Tyler Bilodeau (shoulder) out Sunday vs. Indiana
Sun, Oct 25, 2026, 7:22 AM
NBA Injury Report
Tyler Bilodeau (shoulder) is out for Sunday's game against the Pacers.
Analysis: Bilodeau has yet to appear in a game due to his sprained right shoulder, and the Nets have not provided a return timeline. His continued absence doesn't affect fantasy basketball, as the rookie isn't guaranteed a spot in the rotation once healthy. |
