Day'Ron Sharpe Day'Ron Sharpe has 12 points, eight boards vs. OKC
Fri, Feb 20, 2026, 6:24 PM
Day'Ron Sharpe finished with 12 points (6-of-8 FGs, 0-of-2 FTs), eight rebounds, two assists, two steals and one block in Friday's loss to the Thunder.
Analysis: Sharpe was one of three Nets players to score in double figures against the Thunder. All of his scoring came from inside the arc, where he also had success securing rebounds. Friday's total marked the fourth time in February he's finished a game with double-digit points. While he won't often log massive performances from a numbers standpoint, he's certainly a double-double candidate on a nightly basis. |

Michael Porter Michael Porter Jr. has 22/9/5 line in loss to OKC
Fri, Feb 20, 2026, 6:08 PM
Michael Porter Jr. generated 22 points (6-of-16 FGs, 9-of-11 FTs), nine rebounds, five assists, two steals and one three-pointer in the loss to the Thunder on Friday.
Analysis: While it wasn't his best shooting performance, MPJ volumed his way past the 20-point mark and used the free-throw line for help along the way. His inefficient three-point shooting was what specifically held him back, but Porter still contributed on the glass and led Brooklyn in assists on Friday before subbing out for the final time. He'll remain the Nets' go-to guy the remainder of the season, barring anything unforeseen. Fantasy managers should feel good about his production the rest of the way. |

Ziaire Williams Ziaire Williams (personal) sidelined Friday
Fri, Feb 20, 2026, 9:07 AM
NBA Injury Report
Ziaire Williams (personal) is out for Friday's matchup with the Thunder.
Analysis: Williams' absence isn't particularly notable, given his limited production this season. His vacated minutes should be absorbed in some combination by Danny Wolf and Drake Powell. |

Nic Claxton Nic Claxton (ankle) out Friday vs. Thunder
Fri, Feb 20, 2026, 8:49 AM
NBA Injury Report
Nic Claxton (ankle) is out for Friday's matchup with the Thunder.
Analysis: Claxton's streak of absences will extend to three, and it's unclear when he'll return. Until Claxton is back, Day'Ron Sharpe makes an excellent streaming option. |

Ochai Agbaji Ochai Agbaji hits three triples, scores 13 points
Thu, Feb 19, 2026, 3:28 PM
Ochai Agbaji notched 13 points (5-of-8 FGs), three rebounds, three assists, one block and three three-pointers in Thursday's loss to the Cavaliers.
Analysis: After playing 16 minutes in his Nets' debut, Agbaji logged 28 minutes on Thursday and was reasonably productive. However, his best chance at fantasy relevance may come on nights when Michael Porter Jr. and Noah Clowney are either unavailable or play limited minutes. That was the case in Cleveland, with MPJ playing 21 minutes and Clowney (eight points, one rebound, two assists and two three-pointers) playing 20. Agbaji isn't a must-add, but he is worth keeping an eye on. |

Michael Porter Michael Porter Jr. scores team-high 14 points
Thu, Feb 19, 2026, 3:28 PM
Michael Porter Jr. recorded 14 points (5-of-13 FGs, 3-of-3 FTs), five rebounds, two assists, one block and one three-pointer in Thursday's loss to the Cavaliers.
Analysis: Back in the Nets' lineup after a two-game absence, Porter played 21 minutes in Thursday's blowout defeat. That's one of the concerns for fantasy managers as the season approaches its conclusion. In addition to potential injury-management games, there's also the concern that Porter's minutes will be limited at times when games get out of hand. That was certainly the case on Thursday. |

Michael Porter BKN starts Traoré, Dëmin, Porter, Clowney, Sharpe
Thu, Feb 19, 2026, 12:32 PM
Sharif Phillips-Keaton
Nolan Traoré, Egor Dëmin, Michael Porter Jr., Noah Clowney and Day'Ron Sharpe will start Thursday's game against the Cavaliers.
Analysis: Porter and Clowney are back after sitting out the Nets' final game before the All-Star break. The return of those two means that Terance Mann and Ziaire Williams will come off the bench, eliminating most of their streaming value. Danny Wolf's playing time will also take a hit, but he offers a higher fantasy upside than Mann or Williams. |

Michael Porter Michael Porter Jr., Noah Clowney off injury report
Wed, Feb 18, 2026, 10:19 AM
NBA Injury Report
Michael Porter Jr. (knee) and Noah Clowney (back) are off the injury report for Thursday's matchup with the Cavaliers.
Analysis: Both players sat out Brooklyn's last game before the All-Star break, and both will be back against Cleveland. Expect MPJ and Clowney to handle their usual workloads, which means less playing time for Danny Wolf, Terance Mann and Ziaire Williams. |

Nic Claxton Nic Claxton (ankle) out Thursday vs. Cavs
Wed, Feb 18, 2026, 10:11 AM
NBA Injury Report
Nic Claxton (ankle) is out for Thursday's matchup with the Cavaliers.
Analysis: Claxton missed Brooklyn's last game before the All-Star break with a hip injury, but an ankle injury will keep him out for the first game after the break. With Claxton sidelined, Day'Ron Sharpe should join the starting lineup, and he offers high upside for âsilly season.â Fantasy managers in need of big man stats should add Sharpe immediately. |

Day'Ron Sharpe Day'Ron Sharpe posts 19/12/5/2/2 line as starter
Wed, Feb 11, 2026, 5:22 PM
Day'Ron Sharpe started on Wednesday and finished with 19 points (8-of-11 FGs), 12 rebounds, five assists, two steals and two blocks against the Pacers.
Analysis: With Nic Claxton (hip) sidelined for this game, Sharpe was able to start for the fourth time this season. He was able to match his season high for scoring and record a double-double while still contributing in other categories. If Claxton misses more time down the stretch, Sharpe will be a fantasy stud in an increased role. He's currently rostered in just 15 percent of Yahoo! leagues. |

Day'Ron Sharpe BKN starting Traore, Demin, Mann, Ziaire, Sharpe
Wed, Feb 11, 2026, 1:28 PM
C.J. Holmes
Nolan Traore, Egor Demin, Terance Mann, Ziaire Williams and Day'Ron Sharpe against the Pacers on Wednesday.
Analysis: With Nic Claxton (hip) sidelined, Sharpe will get the starting nod at center. The other change to the starting unit will be Williams entering in place of Danny Wolf, who will be available off the bench. Sharpe should be in for a productive night. |

Noah Clowney Noah Clowney (ankle) now out vs. Indiana
Wed, Feb 11, 2026, 12:25 PM
Brian Lewis
Noah Clowney (ankle) is now out for Wednesday's game against the Pacers.
Analysis: Initially declared available for Wednesday's game, Clowney experienced discomfort in his left ankle while going through with his pregame workout. So he won't be available, joining Nic Claxton on the sidelines. Ziaire Williams may move into the starting lineup, with Jalen Wilson in line to pick up additional minutes as well. |

Wed, Feb 11, 2026, 11:46 AM
NBA Injury Report
Noah Clowney (ankle) is available for Wednesday's game against the Pacers.
Analysis: Clowney was initially questionable for Wednesday's game, so the upgrade in status was expected. He will occupy his usual place within the Nets starting lineup. |

Wed, Feb 11, 2026, 11:46 AM
Brooklyn Nets
Nic Claxton (hip) has been ruled out against the Pacers on Wednesday.
Analysis: Claxton was downgraded to doubtful earlier in the day and now has officially been ruled out for this game. This will be his first absence in over a month, and he will likely be replaced in the starting lineup by Day'Ron Sharpe. |

Wed, Feb 11, 2026, 5:58 AM
Nic Claxton (hip) was downgraded to doubtful for Wednesday's game against the Pacers.
Analysis: Claxton popped up on the injury report as questionable with right hip soreness on Tuesday, but has since been downgraded to doubtful for Wednesday's game against the Pacers. With Claxton now unlikely to play, Day'Ron Sharpe is likely to start and is worth streaming. |

Tue, Feb 10, 2026, 3:16 PM
Billy Reinhardt
Nic Claxton (hip) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Pacers.
Analysis: Absent from the initial injury report released by the Nets, Claxton is now questionable with a sore right hip. If he's unable to play on Wednesday, Day'Ron Sharpe would be the next man up. And he is worth streaming when allowed to start. |

Noah Clowney Noah Clowney (ankle) probable vs. Indiana
Tue, Feb 10, 2026, 10:46 AM
NBA Injury Report
Noah Clowney (ankle) is probable for Wednesday's game against the Pacers.
Analysis: Clowney, who scored 22 points in Monday's win over the Bulls, is dealing with a sprained left ankle. The good news is that he's listed as probable, so availability may not be an issue for the Nets forward. If Clowney can't play on Wednesday, that could be a spot where Josh Minott gets to make his Nets' debut as a reserve. Ziaire Williams, who has started games in the past, would figure more prominently in the rotation. |

Michael Porter Michael Porter Jr. (knee) to remain out vs. IND
Tue, Feb 10, 2026, 10:38 AM
NBA Injury Report
Michael Porter Jr. (knee) is out for Wednesday's game against the Pacers.
Analysis: Porter will miss a second straight game due to right knee tendinitis. His absence means Danny Wolf should remain in the starting lineup after logging 26 minutes in Monday's win over the Nets. Given where the Nets are in the standings, Wolf is worth holding onto for the rest of the season. |

Noah Clowney Noah Clowney hits four triples, scores 22 points
Mon, Feb 9, 2026, 4:12 PM
Noah Clowney finished Monday's win over the Nets with 22 points (7-of-11 FGs, 4-of-5 FTs), six rebounds, one block and four three-pointers.
Analysis: After scoring 18 points in Sunday's win over the Wizards, Clowney recorded his first 20-point game since a January 16 win over the Bulls. The Nets' forward/center has also made four three-pointers in consecutive games, the first time he's done that this season. Brooklyn is clearly focused on ending the season with the best draft lottery odds possible, but fantasy managers should not be too concerned about Clowney's minutes down the line. |

Nic Claxton Nic Claxton posts 28/10/4/1 line vs. Chicago
Mon, Feb 9, 2026, 4:11 PM
Nic Claxton produced 28 points (12-of-15 FGs, 3-of-6 FTs), 10 rebounds, four assists, one steal and one three-pointer in Monday's win over the Nets.
Analysis: Before Monday, Claxton had gone 21 straight games without a double-double, the longest dry spell of his NBA career. The Nets center ended that unfortunate streak against the Bulls, leading all players in points and rebounds. Over the past month, he's averaged 6.5 rebounds per game, which takes away from the value that fantasy managers in free-throw percentage punt builds usually gain from rostering him. The Nets complete the pre-break portion of their schedule on Wednesday against the Pacers, which could be another big night for Claxton. |
