Nic Claxton Nic Claxton records 16 points, 10 rebounds vs. PHI
Tue, Dec 23, 2025, 3:50 PM
Nic Claxton tallied 16 points (6-of-7 FGs, 4-of-6 FTs), 10 rebounds, two assists and one steal in Tuesday's win over the 76ers.
Analysis: Claxton finished Tuesday's game with his ninth double-double of the season and third in his last five games. Over the last two weeks, the Nets center has been a top-75 player in eight-cat formats. While fantasy managers usually have to punt free-throw percentage when rostering Claxton, he hasn't been as much of a liability in that category this season, making a career-high 69.3 percent of his attempts. |

Michael Porter Michael Porter Jr. scores game-high 28 points
Tue, Dec 23, 2025, 3:49 PM
Michael Porter Jr. finished Tuesday's win over the 76ers with 28 points (9-of-20 FGs, 5-of-7 FTs), five rebounds, one assist, two steals and five three-pointers.
Analysis: Porter started red-hot on Tuesday, scoring 25 points in the first half. That's the most he's scored in a half in his NBA career. Unfortunately, the Nets forward could not keep it going after halftime, scoring just three points on 1-of-6 shooting from the field. Porter has been consistently productive as a scorer, approaching top-25 per-game value in eight- and nine-cat formats. |

Terance Mann Terance Mann (illness) available Tuesday vs. PHI
Tue, Dec 23, 2025, 12:00 PM
Erik Slater
Terance Mann (illness) is available for Tuesday's game against the 76ers.
Analysis: Mann was initially questionable for Tuesday's game. While he has been in the starting lineup consistently, Mann's production has not been good enough to merit being rostered in most leagues. Leave him on the waiver wire. |

Cam Thomas Cam Thomas (hamstring) cleared for 5-on-5 work

Brian Lewis
Cam Thomas (hamstring) has been cleared to resume 5-on-5 activities.
Analysis: Thomas, who last appeared in a game on November 5, has been recovering from a strained left hamstring. However, while he still does not have a concrete return timeline, the guard was recently cleared to resume 5-on-5 activities. And Thomas got through Saturday's session without any issues. Depending on how much he plays once cleared to return, Thomas may push Terance Mann to the bench. Mann has not been consistent enough to merit being rostered in most leagues. |

Michael Porter MPJ propels Nets past Raptors with 24 points
Sun, Dec 21, 2025, 2:33 PM
Michael Porter Jr. recorded 24 points (9-of-18 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), 11 rebounds, five assists and one steal over 36 minutes on Sunday, powering the Nets to a 96-81 win over the Raptors.
Analysis: Porter notched his fifth double-double of the season as he pulled down 11 boards and knocked down four shots from beyond the arc in a low-scoring tractor pull against the sluggish Raptors. The 27-year-old scoring machine is averaging a robust 25.7 points through 23 games this season, delivering third-round value for fantasy purposes. The Nets will face the 76ers on Tuesday in a road tilt before closing out a quick two-game week on Saturday against the Timberwolves. |

Noah Clowney Clowney chips in 19 points in win over Raptors
Sun, Dec 21, 2025, 2:30 PM
Noah Clowney finished with 19 points (5-of-12 FGs, 5-of-8 FTs), nine rebounds, two assists and two blocks over 32 minutes during Sunday's win over the Raptors.
Analysis: Clowney helped Brooklyn ice the contest with a strong second half performance, scoring a team-high 16 points over the final two quarters, knocking down 4-of-6 shots from the floor, including 3-of-5 from three-point range. The 21-year-old has shown some flashes of scoring upside and is also capable of chipping in a handful of blocks as well, averaging 13.4 points, 4.0 rebounds, 1.9 assists, 0.6 steals and 0.9 blocks through 27 games this season. |

Michael Porter MPJ has 28 points on 24 shots in loss to Heat
Thu, Dec 18, 2025, 4:45 PM
Michael Porter Jr. had 28 points (10-of-24 FGs, 3-of-3 FTs), six rebounds, three assists and five three-pointers against the Heat on Thursday.
Analysis: Porter had at least 28 points for the fifth time in his last six games. The 27-year-old small forward didn't have one of his better shooting games, though, as he was 10-of-24 from the field. Porter is no stranger to getting there on volume, especially since joining the Nets this year. He'll have a chance to get back on the right track against the Raptors on Sunday. |

Noah Clowney Clowney hits four triples, Nets demolish Bucks
Sun, Dec 14, 2025, 2:24 PM
Noah Clowney tallied 16 points (4-of-9 FGs, 4-of-4 FTs), three rebounds, two assists and two blocks over 21 minutes to propel the Nets to a 127-82 blowout win over the Bucks.
Analysis: Clowney, who drained 4-of-8 from downtown, was at the epicenter of Brooklyn's unrelenting three-point barrage as they went 19-of-43 to shoot a staggering 44.2 percent as a team from long range. Their entire starting lineup reached double figures and they raced out to a commanding 17-point halftime lead and extended that advantage to nearly 30 points by the outset of the fourth quarter. Amazingly, Clowney missed all five of his shots from inside the arc. The 21-year-old has been hot-and-cold this season from a fantasy standpoint, but he's in the midst of a strong stretch over the past two weeks. The Nets are back in action on Thursday when they host the Heat before closing out a two-game week with a home tilt against the Raptors. |

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. |
