Nic Claxton Nic Claxton has 17 pts, eight boards vs. Pistons
Fri, Nov 7, 2025, 5:21 PM
Nic Claxton added 17 points (6-of-6 FGs, 5-of-6 FTs), eight rebounds, two assists, one steal and one block in the loss to the Pistons on Friday.
Analysis: Claxton was one of three Nets players to reach double figures in scoring on a night in which the team shot just 42.5 percent from the field. Additionally, he led Brooklyn in rebounding and finished as the only player on the team to record at least one blocked shot and one steal. While his rebounding numbers are slightly down, the seventh-year center is posting career-highs in points and assists per game. His spot in the rotation likely won't be threatened with the Nets' current roster construction, leaving him as a potential double-double threat on a nightly basis. |

Noah Clowney Noah Clowney scores 19, makes four threes vs. DET
Fri, Nov 7, 2025, 5:14 PM
Noah Clowney logged 19 points (5-of-13 FGs, 5-of-6 FTs), one rebound, two assists, one steal and four three-pointers on Friday against the Pistons.
Analysis: Clowney set a new season-high in points for the third consecutive game on Friday, once again using the three-point shot to do so. A huge 13-point opening quarter set Clowney up for the high-scoring performance, but his six points on 1-of-6 shooting the rest of the way stopped the young forward from seeing an even greater scoring total. Still, he was productive against the Pistons and continues to perform well for the Nets this season. |

Michael Porter Michael Porter Jr. scores 28 points in loss to DET
Fri, Nov 7, 2025, 5:07 PM
Michael Porter Jr. totaled 28 points (8-of-17 FGs, 7-of-7 FTs), five rebounds, two assists, one steal and five three-pointers in Friday's loss to the Pistons.
Analysis: Porter Jr. was the most productive offensive performer for the Nets on Friday. He was the only one to score at least 20 points, and his high production from beyond the arc nearly carried him to hit the 30-point mark. The former NBA champion has scored 60 combined points over the past two games while sinking nine three-pointers. Given the status of the Nets roster, MPJ should remain a high-volume scorer with upside as a rebounder throughout the season. |

Cam Thomas Cam Thomas (hamstring) to miss at least 3-4 weeks
Fri, Nov 7, 2025, 11:52 AM
Brooklyn Nets
Cam Thomas (hamstring) will be re-evaluated in three to four weeks.
Analysis: Thomas, who exited Wednesday's win over the Pacers during the first quarter, has been diagnosed with a strained left hamstring. His absence impacts multiple players, most notably Tyrese Martin. Martin played 27 minutes on Wednesday and may be moved into the starting lineup. Rookies Egor Dëmin and Ben Saraf are also potential replacements. Also, Thomas' absence will result in increased usage for Michael Porter Jr. and Terance Mann, with the former scoring 32 points on Wednesday. |

Terance Mann Terance Mann available, Drake Powell probable
Fri, Nov 7, 2025, 6:03 AM
NBA Injury Report
Terance Mann (shoulder) is available for Friday's matchup with the Pistons, and Drake Powell (ankle) is probable.
Analysis: Mann has looked great to start the year with Brooklyn, and he'll look to keep the positive momentum going against Detroit. Powell has seen just 12 minutes across two appearances, so his availability won't impact Brooklyn's rotation. |

Terance Mann Terance Mann (shoulder) probable vs. Detroit
Thu, Nov 6, 2025, 11:43 AM
NBA Injury Report
Terance Mann (shoulder) is probable to play against the Pistons on Friday.
Analysis: Mann is dealing with a shoulder injury, but that shouldn't impact his availability against Detroit. He's enjoying the most productive season of his career and is locked into a starting role, and he'll look to stay hot against the Pistons with Cam Thomas (hamstring) out. |

Cam Thomas Cam Thomas (hamstring) ruled out vs. Detroit
Thu, Nov 6, 2025, 11:29 AM
C.J. Holmes
Cam Thomas (hamstring) has been ruled out against the Pistons on Friday.
Analysis: Thomas exited early on Wednesday and will be held out on Friday. It's unclear how long of an absence this will be, though he did miss over two months last season with a hamstring injury. Michael Porter Jr. will see an uptick in usage, while Tyrese Martin will help make up the minutes. Martin played 27 minutes off the bench on Wednesday and contributed 16 points and four three-pointers. |

Nic Claxton Nic Claxton posts 18/10/6/3/2 stat line vs. IND
Wed, Nov 5, 2025, 4:24 PM
Nic Claxton amassed 18 points (5-of-9 FGs, 8-of-10 FTs), 10 rebounds, six assists, three steals and two blocks in Wednesday's win over the Pacers.
Analysis: Claxton was outstanding on Wednesday, helping lead the Nets to their first win of the season after seven consecutive defeats. Over his last four games, the Nets center has averaged 18.5 points, 9.0 rebounds, 4.8 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.8 blocks while shooting 67.5 percent from the field and 62.5 percent from the foul line. For managers punting free-throw percentage, Claxton has been a top-20 player during this stretch. He's still rostered in 46 percent of Yahoo! leagues, which is too low. |

Terance Mann Terance Mann dishes out six assists vs. Indiana
Wed, Nov 5, 2025, 4:20 PM
Terance Mann accounted for 15 points (5-of-12 FGs, 4-of-4 FTs), one rebound, six assists, two steals and one three-pointer in Wednesday's win over the Pacers.
Analysis: With Michael Porter Jr. bumping Tyrese Martin out of the starting lineup after missing Monday's game for personal reasons, Mann was effectively the starting point guard on Wednesday. He played well, shooting just under 50 percent from the field and sharing the team lead in assists with Nic Claxton. For years, Mann has been a player some fantasy managers believed could provide value with the right opportunity. Brooklyn may be it, as he has been a top-100 player in nine-cat formats. Rostered in 12 percent of Yahoo! leagues, Mann will be worth a look if Cam Thomas (hamstring) can't play in Friday's game against the Pistons. |

Michael Porter Michael Porter Jr. scores game-high 32 points
Wed, Nov 5, 2025, 4:17 PM
Michael Porter Jr. finished Wednesday's win over the Pacers with 32 points (10-of-20 FGs, 8-of-11 FTs), 11 rebounds, three assists, one steal and four three-pointers.
Analysis: Every team in the NBA now has at least one victory, with the Nets getting off the schneid on Wednesday. Porter did most of the heavy lifting offensively, as Cam Thomas exited after just six minutes due to injury. As expected, he's proven to be more valuable to fantasy managers in Brooklyn than he was in Denver. Porter is providing fifth-round value in eight-cat formats, one round better than his Yahoo! ADP. The Nets play two more games during Week 3, starting with the Pistons on Friday. |

Cam Thomas Cam Thomas (hamstring) will not return Wednesday
Wed, Nov 5, 2025, 1:37 PM
Brett Siegel
Cam Thomas (hamstring) will not return to Wednesday's game against the Pacers.
Analysis: Thomas exited Wednesday's game after six minutes due to left hamstring tightness, playing six minutes and going scoreless with one assist. Tyrese Martin checked in a bit earlier than usual and may be in for a boost in minutes if Thomas misses additional time. The Nets host Detroit on Friday. |

Noah Clowney BKN starts Mann, Thomas, Porter, Clowney, Claxton
Wed, Nov 5, 2025, 12:42 PM
NBA Lineups
Terance Mann, Cam Thomas, Michael Porter Jr., Noah Clowney and Nic Claxton will start Wednesday's game against the Pacers.
Analysis: Porter is back in the lineup after missing Monday's game for personal reasons. However, his return bumps Tyrese Martin to the bench, while Noah Clowney remains in the starting five. If Clowney can retain that role for the foreseeable future, he'll be worth a look in deeper leagues. |

Michael Porter Michael Porter Jr. (personal) available Wednesday
Tue, Nov 4, 2025, 12:16 PM
NBA Injury Report
Michael Porter Jr. (personal) is available for Wednesday's game against the Pacers.
Analysis: Porter is available after missing Monday's loss to the Timberwolves. Noah Clowney moved into the starting lineup and knocked down four three-pointers. With Porter available, Clowney's fantasy ceiling will be lowered considerably. |

Noah Clowney Noah Clowney hits four triples in spot start
Mon, Nov 3, 2025, 4:26 PM
Noah Clowney shot 5-of-14 from the field and 1-of-2 from the foul line in Monday's loss to the Timberwolves, scoring 15 points with six rebounds, one assist, two steals and four three-pointers.
Analysis: With Michael Porter Jr. (personal) unavailable, Clowney made his first start of the season on Monday. And he wasn't bashful, putting up 12 three-point attempts and making four. The points, rebounds, steals and three-pointers were solid, with Clowney providing some value to the few adventurous souls who streamed him. In the short term, his value depends on Porter's availability. However, with the Nets now 0-7, Clowney should definitely be on your âsilly seasonâ radar. |

Cam Thomas Cam Thomas leads Nets with 25 points in defeat
Mon, Nov 3, 2025, 4:18 PM
Cam Thomas accounted for 25 points (10-of-24 FGs, 4-of-5 FTs), two rebounds, three assists, two steals and one three-pointer in Monday's loss to the Timberwolves.
Analysis: One day after scoring 29 points against the 76ers, Thomas dropped in another 25 on Monday. He's scored 25 points or more in four of Brooklyn's first seven games and is averaging 24.3 per. However, Thomas's fantasy value in category leagues remains low due to his limited assist and defensive production. On Monday, he was solid in the assist and steal categories but remains ranked outside the top-100 in eight- and nine-cat formats. |

Nic Claxton Nic Claxton posts 19/8/7/0/1 line vs. Minnesota
Mon, Nov 3, 2025, 4:15 PM
Nic Claxton finished Monday's loss to the Timberwolves with 19 points (6-of-6 FGs, 7-of-12 FTs), eight rebounds, seven assists and one blocked shot.
Analysis: Claxton has been one of the few bright spots for the 0-7 Nets, especially over the last three games. He's scored 18 points or more in each, including consecutive 19-point efforts against the 76ers and Timberwolves. Monday's stat line included seven assists, the most in a game for Claxton since recording a career-high 10 dimes in a March 6 game against the Warriors. Over his last two games, Nic has recorded 12 assists and four turnovers, an excellent margin for a center. |

Noah Clowney BKN starts Martin, Thomas, Mann, Clowney, Claxton
Mon, Nov 3, 2025, 12:40 PM
NBA Lineups
Tyrese Martin, Cam Thomas, Terance Mann, Noah Clowney and Nic Claxton will start Monday's game against the Timberwolves.
Analysis: The Nets won't have Michael Porter Jr. for Monday's game, as he is away from the team for personal reasons. Brooklyn will go big, inserting Clowney into the starting lineup. While a capable pick-and-pop option, things haven't necessarily clicked consistently for the 2023 first-round pick. Look for Ziaire Williams and Jalen Wilson to pick up additional minutes off the bench. |

Michael Porter Michael Porter Jr. (personal) out Monday vs. MIN
Mon, Nov 3, 2025, 11:20 AM
Brian Lewis
Michael Porter Jr. (personal) is out for Monday's game against the Timberwolves.
Analysis: Absent from the initial injury report, Porter will miss Monday's game for personal reasons. More minutes will be available to Jalen Wilson and Ziaire Williams, with the latter being more likely to move into the starting lineup. Whoever receives the nod will be worth streaming in deep leagues, but Williams offers a higher ceiling. |

Nic Claxton Nic Claxton posts 19/7/5/1/3 line vs. Philadelphia
Sun, Nov 2, 2025, 3:02 PM
Nic Claxton accounted for 19 points (8-of-11 FGs, 3-of-6 FTs), seven rebounds, five assists, one steal and three blocked shots in Sunday's loss to the 76ers.
Analysis: While Claxton did not record his second double-double in as many games, he had his most productive all-around performance on Sunday. After blocking one shot total in Brooklyn's first five games, he recorded three against the 76ers. Fantasy managers are accustomed to punting free-throw percentage when rostering Claxton, but the hope is that he'll bring more to the table as a shot-blocker. Hopefully, Sunday's performance is a sign that he'll be able to do that consistently. |

Michael Porter Michael Porter Jr. grabs career-high 17 rebounds
Sun, Nov 2, 2025, 2:59 PM
Michael Porter Jr. finished Sunday's loss to the 76ers with 17 points (7-of-23 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), 17 rebounds, two assists, one steal and one three-pointer.
Analysis: Porter had a rough night from beyond the arc, making just one of his 12 three-point attempts, negatively impacting the field-goal percentage. However, he was elite on the glass, grabbing a career-high 17 rebounds. Porter heads into Brooklyn's four-game Week 3 providing top-75 value in eight-cat formats, which aligns with his Yahoo! ADP. However, while his fantasy ceiling is higher with the Nets than with the Nuggets, there may be some concern regarding a late-season shutdown with Brooklyn rebuilding. |
