NBA Injury Report
Nic Claxton (thumb) is available for Tuesday's matchup with the Heat.
Analysis: Claxton sat out Sunday's tilt with the Cavaliers, but he'll return following a one-game absence. Claxton's availability will push Day'Ron Sharpe back to the bench after a lukewarm performance in Sunday's spot start. |

NBA Injury Report
Nic Claxton (thumb) is probable for Tuesday's game against the Heat.
Analysis: Claxton was held out of Sunday's loss to the Cavaliers, with Day'Ron Sharpe replacing him in the starting lineup. With Claxton on track to return on Tuesday, Sharpe would be asked to come off the bench. While his fantasy value takes a hit, those who have added Sharpe should hold onto him. |

Michael Porter Porter Jr. has 26 points, five threes in loss
Sun, Mar 1, 2026, 12:36 PM
Michael Porter Jr. had 26 points (10-of-17 FGs, 1-of-2 FTs), five rebounds, one assist, three steals and five three-pointers in Sunday's loss to the Cavaliers.
Analysis: Porter and the Nets were in the game until the final minute, losing to the Cavaliers 106-102. This is always a positive development for Porter's fantasy value as he ended up playing 30 minutes in the contest. The 27-year-old small forward has had at least 25 points in three of his last four games. The Nets have two games in the upcoming week, starting with a matchup against the Heat on Tuesday. |

Nic Claxton Nic Claxton (thumb) downgraded to out vs. CLE
Sun, Mar 1, 2026, 6:19 AM
NBA Injury Report
Nic Claxton (thumb) is out for Sunday's game against the Cavaliers.
Analysis: A sprained right thumb will keep Claxton out for the Nets' final game of Week 18. Day'Ron Sharpe has been the replacement in the starting lineup on previous days when Claxton was unavailable, and he is worth streaming as a spot starter. |

Sat, Feb 28, 2026, 10:21 AM
NBA Injury Report
Nic Claxton (thumb) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Cavaliers.
Analysis: Claxton is dealing with a sprained right thumb, casting some doubt on his availability for Sunday's game. If he's unable to go, the Nets will turn to Day'Ron Sharpe to fill the void. While this would not be an easy matchup, the opportunity to start raises Sharpe's fantasy ceiling. |

Nic Claxton Nic Claxton tallies 12 points, four rebounds
Fri, Feb 27, 2026, 4:11 PM
Nic Claxton amassed 12 points (5-of-9 FGs, 2-of-4 FTs), four rebounds and two assists in Friday's loss to the Celtics.
Analysis: Claxton's production was limited on Friday, as he failed to record any defensive stats in the 37-point defeat. Add in the lackluster rebounding production, and this was a challenging night for those who have Claxton rostered. And it was worse for those who had hopped onto the Day'Ron Sharpe (2/5/3) bandwagon, as he played 15 minutes and shot 1-of-7 from the field. The Nets' bigs will look to bounce back on Sunday against the Cavaliers. |

Michael Porter Michael Porter Jr. scores 18 in blowout defeat
Fri, Feb 27, 2026, 4:06 PM
Michael Porter Jr. finished Friday's loss to the Celtics with 18 points (6-of-12 FGs, 4-of-5 FTs), two rebounds, two assists, two steals and two three-pointers.
Analysis: At this point in the season, there are two concerns for Porter managers: the Nets shut him down, or the team gets blown out. The latter scenario occurred on Friday, limiting MPJ to 26 minutes. He finished a blocked shot shy of a complete stat line but put up solid percentages. And things won't get easier for Porter and the Nets, as they end Week 18 at home against the Cavaliers on Sunday. |

Day'Ron Sharpe Day'Ron Sharpe posts 14/11/4/1/1 line vs. SAS
Thu, Feb 26, 2026, 4:07 PM
Day'Ron Sharpe recorded 14 points (6-of-10 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), 11 rebounds, four assists, one steal and one block in Thursday's loss to the Spurs.
Analysis: Sharpe only played 19 minutes in Thursday's game, but that was more than enough time for him to record his first double-double since the All-Star break and fifth of the season. At this point, Sharpe is worth rostering in deep leagues, even if starter Nic Claxton (12 points, seven rebounds and three assists) is available. The Nets visit the Celtics on Friday, so there may be a few more minutes available to Sharpe. |

Michael Porter Michael Porter Jr. leads Nets with 25, 14 boards
Thu, Feb 26, 2026, 4:07 PM
Michael Porter Jr. finished Thursday's loss to the Spurs with 25 points (9-of-22 FGs, 4-of-4 FTs), 14 rebounds, one assist and three three-pointers.
Analysis: Porter recorded his tenth double-double of the season on Thursday, with the 14 rebounds being the most in a game for him since grabbing 17 in a November 2 loss to the 76ers. MPJ didn't record any defensive stats, but fantasy managers should not be surprised by that. With the Nets visiting the Celtics on Friday, there's a chance that Porter gets the night off, although he played both games of Brooklyn's most recent back-to-back. |

Nic Claxton Nic Claxton records 16 points, nine assists
Tue, Feb 24, 2026, 4:04 PM
Nic Claxton finished Tuesday's loss to the Mavericks with 16 points (7-of-10 FGs, 2-of-3 FTs), four rebounds, nine assists and three steals.
Analysis: Claxton may not have done much on the glass or as a shot-blocker, but he provided excellent value in the assist and steal categories on Tuesday. The nine helpers were the most in a game for him since December 6, when Clax dished out ten as part of a triple-double against the Pelicans. And Claxton's three steals matched his total in his six prior appearances in February. Injury management nights are a concern for fantasy managers, especially with a back-to-back on Thursday and Friday on the horizon. That said, Claxton can provide value when on the floor. |

Noah Clowney Noah Clowney hits four triples, scores 22 points
Tue, Feb 24, 2026, 4:04 PM
Noah Clowney amassed 22 points (6-of-9 FGs, 6-of-10 FTs), five rebounds, two steals, one block and four three-pointers in Tuesday's loss to the Mavericks.
Analysis: After totaling 28 points on 9-of-25 shooting in Brooklyn's first three games out of the All-Star break, Clowney snapped out of his mini-slump on Tuesday. He shot 4-of-5 from beyond the arc while also recording a stat line that only lacked an assist. With the Nets focused on strengthening their draft lottery odds, Clowney's playing time should not be a concern the rest of the season. |

Michael Porter Michael Porter Jr. scores game-high 26 points
Tue, Feb 24, 2026, 4:03 PM
Michael Porter Jr. tallied 26 points (9-of-16 FGs, 6-of-6 FTs), three assists and two three-pointers in Tuesday's loss to the Mavericks.
Analysis: One thing fantasy managers know they're going to get from Porter, when he's on the floor, is scoring. While the production has been a bit inconsistent recently, he's scored at least 22 points in three of his last five games. There were no defensive stats to speak of on Tuesday, so managers hoping to get a more robust line from Porter were disappointed. With the Nets' final three games of Week 18 including a back-to-back, MPJ likely plays just two of those games. |

Michael Porter Michael Porter Jr. has 18/7/6 line in loss Sunday
Sun, Feb 22, 2026, 12:13 PM
Michael Porter Jr. had 18 points (8-of-19 FGs, 1-of-1 FT), seven rebounds, six assists and one three-pointer in Sunday's loss to the Hawks.
Analysis: Porter wasn't efficient while handling lead scorer duties for the Nets. The 27-year-old small forward's shot from long distance was off as he went just 1-of-8 from behind the three-point line. Porter is a better shooter than that, but he still was able to salvage his line with seven rebounds and six assists. The Nets have four games upcoming in Week 18, starting with a matchup against the Mavericks on Tuesday. |

Nic Claxton BKN starts Traoré, Dëmin, Porter, Clowney, Claxton
Sun, Feb 22, 2026, 9:08 AM
Brian Lewis
Nolan Traoré, Egor Dëmin, Michael Porter Jr., Noah Clowney and Nic Claxton will start Sunday's game against the Hawks.
Analysis: Claxton will start after missing Friday's loss to the Thunder, which was Brooklyn's second game in as many nights. While his return pushes Day'Ron Sharpe to the bench, Claxton will be under a minutes restriction. Fantasy managers who added Sharpe should hold onto him. |

Nic Claxton Nic Claxton (ankle) removed from injury report
Sat, Feb 21, 2026, 11:18 AM
NBA Injury Report
Nic Claxton (ankle) is off the injury report for Sunday's game against the Hawks.
Analysis: Claxton did not play in Friday's loss to the Thunder, which was Brooklyn's second game in as many nights. His return to the Nets' lineup will push Day'Ron Sharpe to the bench. Those who streamed Sharpe should consider holding onto him, as he has provided solid deep-league value recently, whether he starts or comes off the bench. |

Ziaire Williams Ziaire Williams (personal) to remain out Sunday
Sat, Feb 21, 2026, 11:10 AM
NBA Injury Report
Ziaire Williams (personal) is out for Sunday's game against the Hawks.
Analysis: Williams will miss a second consecutive game for personal reasons. While his absence doesn't affect fantasy basketball, it should result in more opportunities for rookies Danny Wolf and Drake Powell. |

Day'Ron Sharpe Day'Ron Sharpe has 12 points, eight boards vs. OKC
Fri, Feb 20, 2026, 6:24 PM
Day'Ron Sharpe finished with 12 points (6-of-8 FGs, 0-of-2 FTs), eight rebounds, two assists, two steals and one block in Friday's loss to the Thunder.
Analysis: Sharpe was one of three Nets players to score in double figures against the Thunder. All of his scoring came from inside the arc, where he also had success securing rebounds. Friday's total marked the fourth time in February he's finished a game with double-digit points. While he won't often log massive performances from a numbers standpoint, he's certainly a double-double candidate on a nightly basis. |

Michael Porter Michael Porter Jr. has 22/9/5 line in loss to OKC
Fri, Feb 20, 2026, 6:08 PM
Michael Porter Jr. generated 22 points (6-of-16 FGs, 9-of-11 FTs), nine rebounds, five assists, two steals and one three-pointer in the loss to the Thunder on Friday.
Analysis: While it wasn't his best shooting performance, MPJ volumed his way past the 20-point mark and used the free-throw line for help along the way. His inefficient three-point shooting was what specifically held him back, but Porter still contributed on the glass and led Brooklyn in assists on Friday before subbing out for the final time. He'll remain the Nets' go-to guy the remainder of the season, barring anything unforeseen. Fantasy managers should feel good about his production the rest of the way. |

Ziaire Williams Ziaire Williams (personal) sidelined Friday
Fri, Feb 20, 2026, 9:07 AM
NBA Injury Report
Ziaire Williams (personal) is out for Friday's matchup with the Thunder.
Analysis: Williams' absence isn't particularly notable, given his limited production this season. His vacated minutes should be absorbed in some combination by Danny Wolf and Drake Powell. |

Nic Claxton Nic Claxton (ankle) out Friday vs. Thunder
Fri, Feb 20, 2026, 8:49 AM
NBA Injury Report
Nic Claxton (ankle) is out for Friday's matchup with the Thunder.
Analysis: Claxton's streak of absences will extend to three, and it's unclear when he'll return. Until Claxton is back, Day'Ron Sharpe makes an excellent streaming option. |
