Michael Porter MPJ dishes out career-best seven assists in loss
Fri, Nov 14, 2025, 3:49 PM
Michael Porter Jr. led the Nets with 24 points (10-of-23 FGs), 11 rebounds, seven assists, one steal and three three-pointers in a 105-98 loss to the Magic on Friday.
Analysis: MPJ provided his usual supply of buckets, but his playmaking was what was intriguing. His previous career-high for assists was six, but he matched that mark in the first quarter and surpassed it by halftime. He didn't add any more dimes after the break, but he was still able to have an excellent night despite the loss. MPJ will continue to be a fantasy stud on a tanking team, though managers shouldn't expect him to dish out that many assists often. |

Noah Clowney Noah Clowney scores 12 points in 27 minutes
Fri, Nov 14, 2025, 3:43 PM
Noah Clowney finished with 12 points (2-of-8 FGs, 6-of-6 FTs), four rebounds, three assists, one steal and two three-pointers against the Magic on Friday.
Analysis: Clowney has been an effective scoring option as a starter for the Nets, and that trend continued in this game. He has started the last six games for Brooklyn and has scored in double figures in five of those. This was a subpar shooting performance from him, with half his points coming from the free throw line and the other half coming from beyond the arc. Still, his starting spot feels safe, and he has an intriguing matchup coming up on Sunday to close out the week. |

Ziaire Williams Ziaire Williams scores 15, swipes three steals
Fri, Nov 14, 2025, 3:40 PM
Ziaire Williams provided a boost off the bench with 15 points (6-of-11 FGs), one rebound, three steals and two three-pointers against the Magic on Friday.
Analysis: Williams has been a solid reserve for Brooklyn this season, where he has been an inconsistent source of offense. He has been able to hit shots from deep frequently, but he has been more valuable to the Nets than he has been for fantasy managers. He was one of five players to score in double figures for Brooklyn, but that wasn't enough for them to get a win. Williams should be left on the waiver wire unless he gets the opportunity to start, which has yet to happen this season. |

Day'Ron Sharpe Day'Ron Sharpe (glute) active Friday vs. Magic
Fri, Nov 14, 2025, 7:49 AM
NBA Injury Report
Day'Ron Sharpe (glute) is available for Friday's matchup with the Magic.
Analysis: As expected, Sharpe is back following a one-game absence. His availability could mean less run for Noah Clowney and Nic Claxton, though both should still see meaningful minutes. |

Day'Ron Sharpe Day'Ron Sharpe (glute) probable vs. Orlando
Thu, Nov 13, 2025, 10:56 AM
NBA Injury Report
Day'Ron Sharpe (glute) is probable to play against the Magic on Friday.
Analysis: Sharpe is expected to be back after a one-game absence. Noah Clowney, who has been starting for Brooklyn, saw a bump in minutes and filled the backup center role when Nic Claxton was on the bench. Clowney should still play a large role, but he'll lose a few minutes with Sharpe expected back. |

Nic Claxton Claxton posts 21 points, eight rebounds vs. Raptors
Tue, Nov 11, 2025, 5:26 PM
Nic Claxton accounted for a season-high 21 points (8-of-14 FGs, 5-of-5 FTs), eight rebounds, four assists, two steals and two blocks over 35 minutes during Tuesday's loss to the Raptors.
Analysis: Claxton did everything in his power to keep Brooklyn in this one, but it simply wasn't enough as he reached the 20-point plateau for the first time this season. The 26-year-old big man has been on a roll lately, delivering second-round value for fantasy managers over the past two weeks, averaging 17 points, eight rebounds, four assists and one steal over his last seven contests. The Nets will attempt to get back on track when they face the Magic on Friday night in a road matchup. |

Tue, Nov 11, 2025, 5:36 AM
Brian Lewis
Day'Ron Sharpe (glute) has been ruled out against the Raptors on Tuesday.
Analysis: Sharpe was initially listed with a hamstring injury, but that has been updated to a left glute contusion. Noah Clowney and Danny Wolf should fill out the center minutes when Nic Claxton isn't on the floor. |

Day'Ron Sharpe Day'Ron Sharpe (hamstring) questionable Tuesday
Mon, Nov 10, 2025, 11:13 AM
C.J. Holmes
Day'Ron Sharpe (hamstring) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Raptors.
Analysis: Sharpe exited Sunday's loss to the Knicks during the third quarter due to left hamstring tightness. While his absence would not impact fantasy basketball, it would free up minutes behind starting center Nic Claxton. Danny Wolf, who was on assignment in the G League, could be recalled if Sharpe cannot play. |

Michael Porter Michael Porter Jr. drops team-high 25 points
Sun, Nov 9, 2025, 3:21 PM
Michael Porter Jr. accounted for 25 points (9-of-18 FGs, 3-of-4 FTs), four rebounds, one steal and four three-pointers in Sunday's loss to the Knicks.
Analysis: In the two-plus games the Nets have played since losing Cam Thomas to a hamstring injury on November 5, Porter has tallied 32, 28 and 25 points. And while the shot attempts have increased, MPJ has shot 47 percent or better in each of those outings. Whether he can continue to shoot at the clip or not, Porter is in a spot where he can put up massive individual numbers. The lone concern would be Porter losing out on minutes so the youngsters can get additional run, but that should not be an issue in early November. The Nets play three games during Week 4. |

Day'Ron Sharpe Day'Ron Sharpe (hamstring) exits during 2nd half
Sun, Nov 9, 2025, 3:20 PM
Billy Reinhardt
Day'Ron Sharpe (hamstring) finished Sunday's loss to the Knicks with 10 points (3-of-3 FGs, 4-of-4 FTs), six rebounds, one assist, one steal and one blocked shot.
Analysis: Sharpe was on a roll Sunday night, making all three of his field-goal attempts and going 4-of-4 from the foul line. Unfortunately, tightness in his left hamstring ended the Nets' center's night with 1:49 remaining in the third quarter. Brooklyn opens a three-game Week 4 at home against the Raptors on Tuesday, and Sharpe's injury could mean rotation minutes for Danny Wolf if he misses time. Wolf, one of Brooklyn's five first-round picks in June, was on assignment with the team's G League affiliate on Sunday. |

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. |
