Wed, Dec 31, 2025, 11:33 AM
Michael Porter Jr. (illness) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Rockets.
Analysis: Porter is questionable for Thursday with an illness, though he has plenty of time to recover before the game against the Rockets. With Terance Mann also questionable with a hip injury, Tyrese Martin could be in line for an expanded role depending on how the Nets' injury report shakes out. |

Michael Porter MPJ records 27 points as Nets fall to Warriors
Mon, Dec 29, 2025, 4:19 PM
Michael Porter Jr. amassed 27 points (10-of-18 FGs, 2-of-4 FTs), nine rebounds, five assists and three steals over 36 minutes during Monday's loss to the Warriors.
Analysis: Porter was held to just 10 second-half points as Golden State pulled away for a relatively easy win. The 27-year-old scoring machine has generated 24 points or more in nine of 11 games since December 1. He's delivered top-25 overall fantasy value this season, averaging 25.8 points, 7.5 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 0.9 steals and 0.2 blocks through 26 games. |

Cam Thomas Thomas plays just 18 minutes in loss to Warriors
Mon, Dec 29, 2025, 4:17 PM
Cam Thomas was limited to just 13 points (5-of-12 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs) and two assists over 18 minutes during Monday's loss to the Warriors.
Analysis: On the heels of an impressive 30-point effort on Sunday in his return from a 20-game absence due to a left hamstring strain, Thomas was limited to just 18 minutes off the bench on the tail-end of a back-to-back. The 24-year-old guard still managed to put up 12 shots but only three of them were from beyond the arc. He'll likely be on a minutes restriction for a couple additional games before Brooklyn feels comfortable ramping up his usage. |

Ziaire Williams Ziaire Williams (ankle) available Monday vs. GSW
Mon, Dec 29, 2025, 12:08 PM
Ziaire Williams (ankle) is available for Monday's game against the Warriors.
Analysis: Williams sat out Saturday's game against the Timberwolves, but will return after a one-game absence. The 24-year-old forward will have his usual bench role Monday against the Warriors. He hasn't been productive enough to warrant rostering in most fantasy leagues this year. |

Cam Thomas Thomas drops 30 points in return vs. Timberwolves
Sat, Dec 27, 2025, 4:34 PM
Cam Thomas erupted for 30 points (9-of-15 FGs, 9-of-9 FTs), three rebounds and four assists over 19 minutes on Saturday, leading the Nets to a 123-107 win over the Timberwolves.
Analysis: Thomas made an immediate impact in his return to the lineup following a nearly two-month absence due to a left hamstring strain. The 24-year-old scoring machine was limited to just 19 minutes in this one and figures to have a governor on his workload for the next couple games. He still managed to hoist 15 shot attempts and went 3-of-8 from three-point range in addition to getting to the free throw line for nine attempts. The Nets are back in action on Monday against the Warriors before facing the Rockets, Wizards and Nuggets to close out a four-game week. |

Michael Porter Porter notches 27 points in win over T-Wolves
Sat, Dec 27, 2025, 4:32 PM
Michael Porter Jr. tallied 27 points (9-of-16 FGs, 5-of-5 FTs), 10 rebounds and four assists over 33 minutes during Saturday's victory over the Timberwolves.
Analysis: Porter shook off a sluggish start to knock down all five of his second half shot attempts, including a trio of three-pointers, to finish with 18 points down the home stretch. The 27-year-old has been a consistent scoring threat this season, averaging 25.8 points, 7.4 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 0.8 steals and 0.2 blocks through 25 games. The Nets are 7-4 since the start of December and are looking like a potential playoff team. |

Cam Thomas Cam Thomas (hamstring) will play vs. Minnesota
Fri, Dec 26, 2025, 6:47 AM
Brian Lewis
Cam Thomas (hamstring) will play against the Timberwolves on Saturday.
Analysis: Thomas practiced in full on Friday, and Nets coach Jordi Fernandez said that Thomas will be available to play against Minnesota. He didn't say anything about how much Thomas will play, but after missing nearly two months with a soft-tissue injury, it's safe to assume they will bring him along slowly. Terance Mann and Tyrese Martin will likely lose out on minutes with Thomas back in the rotation. |

Cam Thomas Cam Thomas (hamstring) cleared for contact
Fri, Dec 26, 2025, 6:13 AM
Brian Lewis
Cam Thomas (hamstring) has been cleared for contact and will practice in full on Friday.
Analysis: Thomas has been sidelined for nearly two months, and it seems he is inching closer to a return. Brooklyn's next game is on Saturday against the Timberwolves, so there is a chance he is upgraded to questionable ahead of that game. With a hamstring injury, Thomas should be brought along slowly, which likely means he will be on a minutes restriction at first. However, he will eventually return to the starting lineup, which will likely push Terance Mann to the bench. |

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
Sun, Dec 21, 2025, 4:13 PM
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. |
