Michael Porter Michael Porter Jr. scores 12 in blowout defeat
Wed, Jan 21, 2026, 4:19 PM
Michael Porter Jr. finished Wednesday's loss to the Knicks with 12 points (4-of-14 FGs, 1-of-1 FTs), six rebounds, one assist and three three-pointers.
Analysis: Wednesday was a night to forget for Porter and the Nets, who were on the wrong end of a 120-66 outcome. Due to the nature of the game, MPJ played only 26 minutes and didn't shoot well. He and the Nets will look to redeem themselves on Friday when they host the Celtics. |

Day'Ron Sharpe Day'Ron Sharpe (illness) available Wednesday
Wed, Jan 21, 2026, 7:07 AM
NBA Injury Report
Day'Ron Sharpe (illness) is available for Wednesday's matchup with the Knicks.
Analysis: Sharpe sat out Monday's loss to Phoenix, but he'll be back after a one-game absence. Sharpe's availability should mean a decrease in playing time for Nic Claxton, who logged 37 minutes against the Suns. |

Day'Ron Sharpe Day'Ron Sharpe (illness) questionable Wednesday
Tue, Jan 20, 2026, 10:56 AM
NBA Injury Report
Day'Ron Sharpe (illness) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Knicks.
Analysis: Sharpe was not available for Monday's loss to the Suns, which factored into starting center Nic Claxton playing 37 minutes. While Danny Wolf and Jalen Wilson can absorb a few of the minutes that would usually go to Sharpe, his availability affects Claxton, who should already be rostered in standard leagues, the most. |

Cam Thomas Cam Thomas (hamstring) absent from injury report
Tue, Jan 20, 2026, 10:53 AM
NBA Injury Report
Cam Thomas (hamstring) is not on the injury report for Wednesday's game against the Knicks.
Analysis: Thomas did not play in Monday's loss to the Suns, as it was the second game of a back-to-back. He'll likely be used in a reserve role on Wednesday, which does the guard no favors in terms of fantasy value or his hitting free agency in June. |

Ziaire Williams Ziaire Williams scores 15 points vs. Phoenix
Mon, Jan 19, 2026, 4:17 PM
Ziaire Williams accounted for 15 points (4-of-7 FGs, 4-of-4 FTs), two rebounds, one assist, two steals and three three-pointers in Monday's loss to the Suns.
Analysis: Williams has reached double figures in four of his last five appearances. However, Monday's game was his first since January 7, after he missed six games due to illness. Williams' season-long fantasy value has not been good enough to make him a player worth rostering, and one solid effort won't change that. |

Terance Mann Terance Mann records eight assists vs. Phoenix
Mon, Jan 19, 2026, 4:16 PM
Terance Mann finished Monday's loss to the Suns with 10 points (4-of-6 FGs), four rebounds, eight assists and two three-pointers.
Analysis: In addition to recording a season-high in assists, Mann hit double figures in points for the first time in his last eight appearances. While he did start on Monday, the veteran wing only played 26 minutes. Therein lies the issue for Mann, along with the inconsistent production. Getting the younger players minutes will only become more of a priority for the Nets moving forward, so there isn't much to gain from rostering Mann. |

Nic Claxton Nic Claxton dishes out six assists vs. Phoenix
Mon, Jan 19, 2026, 4:16 PM
Nic Claxton finished Monday's loss to the Suns with 12 points (6-of-8 FGs), eight rebounds, six assists and one blocked shot.
Analysis: Claxton is averaging career-highs in points and assists, with the latter category being more surprising. The Nets' center, who entered Monday averaging 4.1 assists per game, has recorded four or more in six of his last seven appearances. Unfortunately, Claxton has shot 40 percent from the foul line over the past two weeks, which limits his value in roster builds where that category is not being punted. |

Michael Porter Michael Porter Jr. leads Nets with 23 points
Mon, Jan 19, 2026, 4:15 PM
Michael Porter Jr. recorded 23 points (10-of-23 FGs, 1-of-1 FTs), six rebounds, four assists, two steals and two three-pointers in Monday's loss to the Suns.
Analysis: Porter needed 23 shots to score his 23 points, with three-point shooting being the reason. A 40.5 percent shooter for the season, the Nets forward was 2-of-10 in Monday's defeat. Porter's 8-of-13 night from inside the arc ensured that his overall field-goal percentage didn't take too big of a hit, and the overall stat line was a good one. As always, the concern for fantasy managers is Porter's availability during playoff weeks, especially if he isn't moved at or before the February 5 trade deadline. |

Day'Ron Sharpe Day'Ron Sharpe (illness, throat) out Monday
Mon, Jan 19, 2026, 7:30 AM
Day'Ron Sharpe
Day'Ron Sharpe (illness, throat) is out for Monday's game against the Suns.
Analysis: Sharpe will miss Monday's game due to two injuries: illness and a throat contusion. Danny Wolf and Jalen Wilson are two players who can absorb some of the minutes that would have gone to Sharpe, and the Nets can also stagger the minutes of starters Nic Claxton and Noah Clowney. |

Ziaire Williams Ziaire Williams (conditioning) available Monday
Mon, Jan 19, 2026, 7:25 AM
NBA Injury Report
Ziaire Williams (conditioning) is off the injury report for Monday's game against the Suns.
Analysis: Due to an illness (four games) and conditioning (two), Williams has missed the Nets' last six games. His return on Monday gives the Nets added perimeter depth, which is vital since Egor Dëmin and Cam Thomas are out. Given the time missed, Williams will likely be under a minutes restriction in his first game back. |

Michael Porter Michael Porter Jr. (rest) available Monday
Mon, Jan 19, 2026, 7:19 AM
NBA Injury Report
Michael Porter Jr. (rest) is available for Monday's game against the Suns.
Analysis: Porter is good to go after sitting out Sunday's loss to the Nets. His return to action means that Danny Wolf will likely head to the bench. The rookie's fantasy ceiling does take a hit, but playing time should not be a concern for Wolf. |
|
Cam Thomas Cam Thomas (hamstring) out Monday vs. Phoenix
Mon, Jan 19, 2026, 7:16 AM
NBA Injury Report
Cam Thomas (hamstring) is out for Monday's game against the Suns.
Analysis: Thomas will miss Monday's game due to injury management. Michael Porter Jr. (rest) is back and will serve as Brooklyn's primary scoring option, which will help compensate for Thomas' absence. |

Ziaire Williams Ziaire Williams (conditioning) out Sunday
Sat, Jan 17, 2026, 10:34 AM
C.J. Holmes
Ziaire Williams (conditioning) is out for Sunday's game against the Bulls.
Analysis: Williams will miss a sixth consecutive game due to injury. However, while the first four absences were due to an illness, the last two were due to a need to get his conditioning up to par. With Drake Powell (knee) also out, Nolan Traoré should play plenty. However, while the rookie may have added fantasy value after the trade deadline, Traoré is not a must-stream player at the moment. |

Michael Porter Michael Porter Jr. (rest) out Sunday vs. Chicago
Sat, Jan 17, 2026, 10:30 AM
C.J. Holmes
Michael Porter Jr. (rest) is out for Sunday's game against the Bulls.
Analysis: While the Nets don't have a back-to-back to consider, they're still giving Porter the night off. Danny Wolf has been his replacement in the past, and that should remain the case on Sunday. The rookie forward/center is worth streaming in deep leagues. |

Noah Clowney Noah Clowney has 23 points, 11 rebounds in win
Fri, Jan 16, 2026, 4:14 PM
Noah Clowney had 23 points (7-of-17 FGs, 5-of-6 FTs), 11 rebounds, one assist, one steal and four three-pointers against the Bulls on Friday.
Analysis: Clowney had just six points in 31 minutes in Wednesday's loss to the Pelicans, but bounced back in a big way against the Bulls on Friday. The 21-year-old power forward got off to a great start with 12 points and seven rebounds in the first half. He finished with 23 points and 11 rebounds to secure his first double-double this season. Clowney has provided 10th-round per game value over the last two weeks, but it's games like Friday where he flashes high-ceiling potential that make him a more interesting player in dynasty formats. |

Michael Porter MPJ has 26 points, game-winner vs. Bulls Friday
Fri, Jan 16, 2026, 4:07 PM
Michael Porter Jr. had 26 points (9-of-17 FGs, 3-of-3 FTs), seven rebounds, one assist, one steal and five three-pointers in the Nets' 112-109 victory over the Bulls on Friday.
Analysis: Porter drove the lane and scored with five seconds left in regulation to give the Nets the lead. The victory was sealed as Chicago failed to score again in the final seconds. Porter continues to play at a high level amid trade rumors, which will likely only ramp up until the trade deadline. He's provided second-round per game value over the last two weeks. The Nets improved to just 12-27 on the season with the win, so a trade to a contender might be necessary to avoid Porter being shutdown by the Nets later in the season. |

Ziaire Williams Ziaire Williams (conditioning) out Friday
Thu, Jan 15, 2026, 11:46 AM
NBA Injury Report
Ziaire Williams (conditioning) is out for Friday's game against the Bulls.
Analysis: After missing four games with an illness, Williams is now in the âreturn to competition conditioningâ phase of his recovery. Drake Powell, who's started the last two games, and Nolan Traoré have seen their minutes increase recently, and that should continue to be the case the rest of the season. |

Cam Thomas Cam Thomas plays 24 minutes vs. New Orleans
Wed, Jan 14, 2026, 4:47 PM
Cam Thomas finished Wednesday's loss to the Pelicans with 16 points (6-of-15 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), one rebound, five assists and two three-pointers.
Analysis: Back in the rotation after sitting out Monday's loss to the Mavericks, Thomas was limited to 24 minutes against the Pelicans. With this being the guard's contract year, the role has to be frustrating. Fantasy managers can take solace in the assist tally, as Thomas' five helpers were the most in a game for him since he dished out nine on October 24. Those who have him rostered must be hoping for a trade by the February 5 deadline, because the situation could become more dire from a fantasy standpoint if he isn't. |

Michael Porter Michael Porter Jr. scores team-high 20 points
Wed, Jan 14, 2026, 4:46 PM
Michael Porter Jr. finished Wednesday's loss to the Pelicans with 20 points (7-of-19 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), seven rebounds, one assist and four three-pointers.
Analysis: Porter, who has scored at least 20 points in nine of his last ten appearances, had a chance to send Wednesday's game into overtime. Unfortunately for him, his shot from a few steps inside of half-court was wide left, extending the Nets' losing streak to five games. Porter has been one of the bright spots for Brooklyn, playing well enough that his name has been mentioned in trade rumors. And for the sake of fantasy managers hoping to count on MPJ during the playoff weeks, a trade may be needed to ensure that he doesn't get shut down late in the season. |

Ziaire Williams Ziaire Williams (illness) remains out vs. NOR
Tue, Jan 13, 2026, 12:00 PM
NBA Injury Report
Ziaire Williams (illness) has been ruled out against the Pelicans on Wednesday.
Analysis: This will be a fourth straight absence for Williams, and while he did start in his last appearance, the Nets' starting lineup has been a revolving door. Danny Wolf and Jalen Wilson should see extra minutes with Williams still out. |
