Terance Mann Terance Mann dishes out seven assists vs. Dallas
Fri, Dec 12, 2025, 5:48 PM
Terance Mann amassed 12 points (4-of-8 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), four rebounds, seven assists, two steals and two three-pointers in Friday's loss to the Mavericks.
Analysis: Mann won't bring much to the table as a scorer, but the Nets starting a rookie point guard (Egor Dëmin) opens the door for him to occasionally have a night like he did on Friday. The seven assists matched Mann's season-high, and fantasy managers also received solid value in steals and percentages. However, he is still ranked well outside the top-200 in eight-cat formats, so there's no need to take the plunge following Friday's performance. Dëmin only played 18 minutes in Dallas, finishing with three points (1-of-7 FGs), one rebound, one assist, two steals and one three-pointer. |

Nic Claxton Nic Claxton records 14/10/4/1/1 line vs. Dallas
Fri, Dec 12, 2025, 5:48 PM
Nic Claxton accounted for 14 points (5-of-12 FGs, 4-of-4 FTs), 10 rebounds, four assists, one steal and one blocked shot in Friday's loss to the Mavericks.
Analysis: One game removed from recording his second triple-double of the season, Claxton pushed his double-double tally to seven on Friday. The Nets center finished with a complete stat line, which included a 4-of-4 effort at the foul line. Claxton is making 70.3 percent of his free throws on the season, which would be the best mark of his career by a wide margin. In fact, Claxton has not finished a season making at least 60 percent of his free throws in his NBA career. |

Michael Porter Michael Porter Jr. goes off for 34 points vs. DAL
Fri, Dec 12, 2025, 5:47 PM
Michael Porter Jr. notched 34 points (12-of-20 FGs, 4-of-5 FTs), four rebounds, three assists and six three-pointers in Friday's loss to the Mavericks.
Analysis: Porter dropped another gaudy point total on Friday, extending his streak of 30-point games to four. This is the player many envisioned him being after the Nets acquired him from the Nuggets. The lingering concern is that the Nets could decide later this season to prioritize their younger, unproven options, which would likely come at Porter's expense. Well, we aren't there yet, so Porter managers should enjoy the ride. |

Michael Porter MPJ explodes for 35 points in win over Pelicans
Sat, Dec 6, 2025, 2:31 PM
Michael Porter Jr. erupted for a game-high 35 points (14-of-23 FG, 2-of-2 FTs), nine rebounds, three assists, two steals and one block over 33 minutes on Saturday, leading the Nets to a lopsided 119-101 win over the Pelicans.
Analysis: Porter came out of the gate on fire, dropping 22 points in the first half on 9-of-14 shooting, including 4-of-7 from beyond the arc, to power the Nets to a commanding 62-44 advantage. The 27-year-old scoring machine has delievered first-round value for fantasy purposes as one of the most impactful all-around performers over the past week, averaging 34.3 points, 8.7 rebounds, 4.0 assists, 2.0 steals and 0.7 blocks over three games during that span. The Nets are off until Friday when they face the Mavericks before closing out the week with a home tilt against the Bucks. |

Nic Claxton Claxton posts triple-double in blowout victory
Sat, Dec 6, 2025, 2:29 PM
Nic Claxton recorded 14 points (5-of-9 FGs, 4-of-6 FTs), 11 rebounds, 10 assists and three blocks over 29 minutes in Saturday's win over the Pelicans.
Analysis: Claxton was a dominant presence in the paint in this one as he shot 55 percent from the floor while pulling down 11 rebounds and also dishing out double-digit assists. He also chipped in three blocks just for good measure. The 26-year-old big man has been exceptional of late, delivering third-round fantasy value over the past week, averaging 13.3 points, 9.5 rebounds, 7.3 assists, 0.8 steals and two blocks over his last four games. |

Day'Ron Sharpe Sharpe chips in 16 points off the bench in win
Sat, Dec 6, 2025, 2:29 PM
Day'Ron Sharpe went off for 16 points (7-of-8 FGs, 2-of-3 FTs), three rebounds, three assists, one steal and one block over 18 minutes off the bench during Saturday's win over the Pelicans.
Analysis: Sharpe provided a spark off the bench as Brooklyn raced out to a big lead early and was able to cruise to a relatively easy win. He knocked down all four of his shots from the floor to finish the first half with nine points off the bench. He finished with a solid all-around line as he also added a couple rebounds and assists in addition to a steal and a block. There are plenty of mouths to feed in Brooklyn, which limits his fantasy ceiling, but he's averaged just over 16 minutes per-game this season. He would have some appeal in deeper fantasy leagues if he were able to get into the starting lineup. |

Noah Clowney Noah Clowney (back) available Saturday vs. NOR
Sat, Dec 6, 2025, 10:04 AM
Brian Lewis
Noah Clowney (back) is available for Saturday's game against the Pelicans.
Analysis: Clowney is officially good to go after initially being listed as probable. He's scored at least 20 points in two straight games, and the matchup lends itself toward Clowney extending that streak to three. Those who have him rostered must ensure he's in their lineups. |

Cam Thomas Cam Thomas (hamstring) to miss next two weeks
Sat, Dec 6, 2025, 9:21 AM
Brian Lewis
Cam Thomas (hamstring) will be re-evaluated in two weeks.
Analysis: Thomas' MRI showed progress in the healing of his hamstring and he's begun on-court work. Still, the 24-year-old shooting guard is set to miss at least the next two weeks before we get another update on his status. |

Michael Porter MPJ (back) off injury report vs. New Orleans
Fri, Dec 5, 2025, 11:22 AM
Brian Lewis
Michael Porter Jr. (back) is not on the injury report against the Pelicans on Saturday.
Analysis: MPJ will be back after a one-game absence, which came on the second night of a back-to-back. He'll be back to occupy his typical starting spot, and with Terance Mann available, that will push Tyrese Martin to the bench. |

Noah Clowney Noah Clowney (back) probable vs. New Orleans
Fri, Dec 5, 2025, 11:18 AM
Brian Lewis
Noah Clowney (back) is probable to play against the Pelicans on Saturday.
Analysis: Clowney is expected to suit up, though he is dealing with back soreness. He has scored at least 20 points in two straight games and will look to stay hot against a porous Pelicans defense. |

Ziaire Williams Ziaire Williams chips in with 23 points vs. Utah
Thu, Dec 4, 2025, 4:26 PM
Ziaire Williams notched 23 points (7-of-14 FGs, 6-of-9 FTs), one assist, one steal, one block and three three-pointers in Thursday's loss to the Jazz.
Analysis: With Terance Mann limited to 18 minutes after a two-game absence and the hard fall he took during the second half of Thursday's game, there was more room for Williams to contribute despite coming off the bench. The former lottery pick finished with his second 20-point game of the season and first since October 24. However, while Thursday was good, Williams' season-long fantasy value remains subpar. The only reason to consider adding him ahead of Sunday's game against the Pelicans would be if Mann and Michael Porter Jr. can't play. |

Noah Clowney Noah Clowney goes for team-high 29 points Thursday
Thu, Dec 4, 2025, 4:25 PM
Noah Clowney finished Thursday's loss to the Jazz with 29 points (8-of-15 FGs, 10-of-12 FTs), four rebounds, three assists, three blocks and three three-pointers.
Analysis: While his season-long fantasy value remains relatively low, now would be a good time to hop onto the Clowney bandwagon if he's sitting on your league's waiver wire. Over the past two weeks, the Nets forward/center has provided fourth-round value in eight-cat formats, and he's scored at least 16 points in seven of his last eight games. Clowney is rostered in 30 percent of Yahoo! leagues, so he's certainly available in some 12-team formats. Now would be a good time to change that. |

Terance Mann BKN starts Dëmin, Martin, Mann, Clowney, Claxton
Thu, Dec 4, 2025, 1:10 PM
NBA Lineups
Egor Dëmin, Tyrese Martin, Terance Mann, Noah Clowney and Nic Claxton will start Thursday's game against the Jazz.
Analysis: Mann is back after missing Brooklyn's last two games. He'll fill the void left by Michael Porter Jr., who is sitting out due to lower back injury management. The Nets' other four starters are unchanged. |

Terance Mann Terance Mann (ribs) available Thursday vs. Utah
Thu, Dec 4, 2025, 11:39 AM
Brooklyn Nets
Terance Mann (ribs) is available for Thursday's game against the Jazz.
Analysis: Mann, who has missed Brooklyn's last two games, should return to his usual place in the starting lineup. While Michael Porter Jr.'s absence frees up usage for multiple players, Mann has not been the kind of player capable of going off for a big scoring night. He's worth a look in deep leagues, but that's about it. |

Michael Porter Michael Porter Jr. (back) out on Thursday
Thu, Dec 4, 2025, 9:32 AM
Erik Slater
Michael Porter Jr. will miss Thursday's game against the Jazz as he manages a lower back injury.
Analysis: The injury is listed as âinjury management,â so it's likely just Porter Jr. getting a day of maintenance after playing on two of the last three nights. Drake Powell is also out for the Nets, so this would likely mean increased usage for Nic Claxton and Noah Clowney, and Terance Mann (ribs) could return to a larger role in the offense. |

Terance Mann Terance Mann listed as probable on Thursday
Thu, Dec 4, 2025, 8:48 AM
NBA.com
Terance Mann (ribs) is listed as probable for Thursday's game against the Jazz.
Analysis: Mann missed games on Monday and Wednesday while battling a rib injury, but is likely to return to the court on Thursday. That would bump Tyrese Martin out of the rotation and should limit Drake Powell's minutes as well. |

Noah Clowney Noah Clowney has 20 points in win over Bulls
Wed, Dec 3, 2025, 5:01 PM
Noah Clowney had 20 points (6-of-13 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), seven rebounds, two assists and six three-pointers against the Bulls on Wednesday.
Analysis: Clowney had at least six three-pointers for the second time in his last five games. The 21-year-old power forward hasn't shown enough consistency as a scorer yet and doesn't contribute much in the other categories. Still, Clowney can be an option in deeper formats because of his flashes of excellence and secure playing time. |

Michael Porter Michael Porter Jr. has 33 points in win vs. Bulls
Wed, Dec 3, 2025, 4:48 PM
Michael Porter Jr. had 33 points (10-of-20 FGs, 8-of-10 FTs), 10 rebounds, five assists, two steals, one block and five three-pointers in the Nets' 113-103 victory over the Bulls on Wednesday.
Analysis: Porter continues to excel in his new surroundings with the Nets. The 27-year-old small forward had another 30-point game in another win for Brooklyn. Porter followed up his 35 points in the win over the Hornets on Monday with 33 points in the win over the Bulls Wednesday. He's returned fifth-round fantasy value so far this season. |

Terance Mann Terance Mann (ribs) out again vs. Chicago
Tue, Dec 2, 2025, 12:10 PM
Brian Lewis
Terance Mann (ribs) has been ruled out against the Bulls on Wednesday.
Analysis: Mann missed Monday's game, which allowed Tyrese Martin to log 19 minutes as a starter in his stead. However, Drake Powell played 24 minutes off the bench and was more productive in the box score. Powell is likely only worth streaming in deeper leagues, but he should see the biggest boost with Mann out. |

Nic Claxton Nic Claxton posts 13/11/6/1/1 line vs. Hornets
Mon, Dec 1, 2025, 4:20 PM
Nic Claxton tallied 13 points (5-of-11 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), 11 rebounds, six assists, one steal, one block and one three-pointer in Monday's win over the Hornets.
Analysis: Claxton recorded a complete stat line on Monday, and the rebounding production was especially encouraging. After grabbing 11 rebounds in three consecutive games, the Nets center entered Monday having totaled 14 rebounds over his last three. After totaling 18 double-digit rebound games in 2024-25, he has six through Brooklyn's first 20 games of this season. For those punting free-throw percentage, Claxton is providing top-75 fantasy value. |
