Day'Ron Sharpe Day'Ron Sharpe posts 14/11/4/1/1 line vs. SAS
Thu, Feb 26, 2026, 4:07 PM
Day'Ron Sharpe recorded 14 points (6-of-10 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), 11 rebounds, four assists, one steal and one block in Thursday's loss to the Spurs.
Analysis: Sharpe only played 19 minutes in Thursday's game, but that was more than enough time for him to record his first double-double since the All-Star break and fifth of the season. At this point, Sharpe is worth rostering in deep leagues, even if starter Nic Claxton (12 points, seven rebounds and three assists) is available. The Nets visit the Celtics on Friday, so there may be a few more minutes available to Sharpe. |

Michael Porter Michael Porter Jr. leads Nets with 25, 14 boards
Thu, Feb 26, 2026, 4:07 PM
Michael Porter Jr. finished Thursday's loss to the Spurs with 25 points (9-of-22 FGs, 4-of-4 FTs), 14 rebounds, one assist and three three-pointers.
Analysis: Porter recorded his tenth double-double of the season on Thursday, with the 14 rebounds being the most in a game for him since grabbing 17 in a November 2 loss to the 76ers. MPJ didn't record any defensive stats, but fantasy managers should not be surprised by that. With the Nets visiting the Celtics on Friday, there's a chance that Porter gets the night off, although he played both games of Brooklyn's most recent back-to-back. |

Nic Claxton Nic Claxton records 16 points, nine assists
Tue, Feb 24, 2026, 4:04 PM
Nic Claxton finished Tuesday's loss to the Mavericks with 16 points (7-of-10 FGs, 2-of-3 FTs), four rebounds, nine assists and three steals.
Analysis: Claxton may not have done much on the glass or as a shot-blocker, but he provided excellent value in the assist and steal categories on Tuesday. The nine helpers were the most in a game for him since December 6, when Clax dished out ten as part of a triple-double against the Pelicans. And Claxton's three steals matched his total in his six prior appearances in February. Injury management nights are a concern for fantasy managers, especially with a back-to-back on Thursday and Friday on the horizon. That said, Claxton can provide value when on the floor. |

Noah Clowney Noah Clowney hits four triples, scores 22 points
Tue, Feb 24, 2026, 4:04 PM
Noah Clowney amassed 22 points (6-of-9 FGs, 6-of-10 FTs), five rebounds, two steals, one block and four three-pointers in Tuesday's loss to the Mavericks.
Analysis: After totaling 28 points on 9-of-25 shooting in Brooklyn's first three games out of the All-Star break, Clowney snapped out of his mini-slump on Tuesday. He shot 4-of-5 from beyond the arc while also recording a stat line that only lacked an assist. With the Nets focused on strengthening their draft lottery odds, Clowney's playing time should not be a concern the rest of the season. |

Michael Porter Michael Porter Jr. scores game-high 26 points
Tue, Feb 24, 2026, 4:03 PM
Michael Porter Jr. tallied 26 points (9-of-16 FGs, 6-of-6 FTs), three assists and two three-pointers in Tuesday's loss to the Mavericks.
Analysis: One thing fantasy managers know they're going to get from Porter, when he's on the floor, is scoring. While the production has been a bit inconsistent recently, he's scored at least 22 points in three of his last five games. There were no defensive stats to speak of on Tuesday, so managers hoping to get a more robust line from Porter were disappointed. With the Nets' final three games of Week 18 including a back-to-back, MPJ likely plays just two of those games. |

Michael Porter Michael Porter Jr. has 18/7/6 line in loss Sunday
Sun, Feb 22, 2026, 12:13 PM
Michael Porter Jr. had 18 points (8-of-19 FGs, 1-of-1 FT), seven rebounds, six assists and one three-pointer in Sunday's loss to the Hawks.
Analysis: Porter wasn't efficient while handling lead scorer duties for the Nets. The 27-year-old small forward's shot from long distance was off as he went just 1-of-8 from behind the three-point line. Porter is a better shooter than that, but he still was able to salvage his line with seven rebounds and six assists. The Nets have four games upcoming in Week 18, starting with a matchup against the Mavericks on Tuesday. |

Nic Claxton BKN starts Traoré, Dëmin, Porter, Clowney, Claxton
Sun, Feb 22, 2026, 9:08 AM
Brian Lewis
Nolan Traoré, Egor Dëmin, Michael Porter Jr., Noah Clowney and Nic Claxton will start Sunday's game against the Hawks.
Analysis: Claxton will start after missing Friday's loss to the Thunder, which was Brooklyn's second game in as many nights. While his return pushes Day'Ron Sharpe to the bench, Claxton will be under a minutes restriction. Fantasy managers who added Sharpe should hold onto him. |

Nic Claxton Nic Claxton (ankle) removed from injury report
Sat, Feb 21, 2026, 11:18 AM
NBA Injury Report
Nic Claxton (ankle) is off the injury report for Sunday's game against the Hawks.
Analysis: Claxton did not play in Friday's loss to the Thunder, which was Brooklyn's second game in as many nights. His return to the Nets' lineup will push Day'Ron Sharpe to the bench. Those who streamed Sharpe should consider holding onto him, as he has provided solid deep-league value recently, whether he starts or comes off the bench. |

Ziaire Williams Ziaire Williams (personal) to remain out Sunday
Sat, Feb 21, 2026, 11:10 AM
NBA Injury Report
Ziaire Williams (personal) is out for Sunday's game against the Hawks.
Analysis: Williams will miss a second consecutive game for personal reasons. While his absence doesn't affect fantasy basketball, it should result in more opportunities for rookies Danny Wolf and Drake Powell. |

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. |
