Traoré (rest) and Williams (illness) missed Thursday’s loss to the Hawks while Mann had eight points in 16 minutes off the bench. All three are joining Danny Wolf and Noah Clowney in the starting lineup against the 76ers on Saturday.

Agbaji was initially listed as probable with an ankle injury for Saturday’s game against the 76ers, so his availability isn’t much of a surprise. The 25-year-old shooting guard should see rotation minutes with Michael Porter Jr. (ankle) ruled out, but Agbaji still isn’t worth rostering in most fantasy leagues.

Agbaji was not officially ruled out for either of the Nets’ last two games, but he did not see any action. With Michael Porter Jr. (ankle) likely to miss another game, there may be rotation minutes available to Agbaji. However, that isn’t enough to make him a player worth rostering in redraft leagues.

Triple-doubles have eluded Johnson this month, but this was another near miss for him. Still, he was able to stuff the stat sheet once again in another win for Atlanta. They currently own the longest winning streak in the NBA at eight games, though it’s worth noting they’ve only played on away game during this streak. Still, Johnson has been fantastic, and he’ll look to stay hot against the Bucks on Saturday to wrap up the week.

Following a three-game absence with a knee injury, Kuminga returned to the lineup, and while Atlanta’s winning streak stayed alive, he wasn’t as productive as his previous appearances for Atlanta. He averaged 21.3 points across his first three games for the Hawks, but his only two points in this game came at the free throw line. It was good to see Kuminga log 19 minutes in his first game back, but it’s clear he won’t be a 20-point scorer consistently.

With Dyson Daniels (toe) sidelined, Corey Kispert got the starting nod, but it was Risacher that saw the biggest bump in minutes. This ended up being his highest-scoring outing since early January, which was the game before he missed three weeks with a knee injury. Risacher has struggled this year, but hopefully he will build on this performance and get back on track in the coming weeks.

Minott had strong stretch with the Celtics earlier this season, but he hasn’t done much with his minutes since he was traded to Brooklyn. However, he shined in this game with a well-rounded, productive stat line. Michael Porter Jr. (ankle) was sidelined for this game, which may have led to Minott taking on a few extra minutes. He has proven that he can be productive when he gets the minutes, but they haven’t come consistently enough for him to be worth adding at this point.

Kispert will get the starting nod in place of Dyson Daniels (toe), who is sidelined for this game. Kispert started six games for Atlanta in January but has come off the bench since then. He can provide some three-pointers in extra minutes, but that isn’t guaranteed. He is a low-upside streaming option.

Sharpe, who missed the Nets’ last two games with a left thumb injury, has been diagnosed with a torn UCL in the thumb. As a result, he’ll undergo surgery and miss the rest of the season. This is a rough turn for fantasy managers who targeted Sharpe for the silly season. While Danny Wolf has been used more on the perimeter, his opportunities may increase in the aftermath of Sharpe’s injury, especially if the Nets look to play starters Nic Claxton and Noah Clowney less. Josh Minott and Chaney Johnson have also played rotation minutes recently and are worth watching.

In the previous eight, the 7-foot rookie averaged 10.6 points, 6.0 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 0.9 steals, 1.0 blocks and 1.3 three-pointers per game. Wolf exceeded the points, rebounds and three-point averages in Monday’s victory, shooting just under 50 percent from the field.

In five games this month, Traoré has hit double figures in points in three of them, including Monday’s win over the Grizzlies. What stood out from the rookie guard’s performance was his work from beyond the arc, with Traoré making a season-high four three-pointers on five attempts. He entered Monday having shot 4-of-12 in his previous four games. For the season, Traoré is shooting a little over 32 percent from three, so it’s too early to expect nights like Monday to become the norm. But this was a promising display from a guard who has made some strides as a playmaker as the season has progressed.

Even though Danny Wolf was the Nets player called upon to fill in for Michael Porter Jr. (rest), MPJ’s absence also meant more playing time for Agbaji. He made the most of his 22 minutes, with Ochai’s 19 points a new season-high. Add in the production across the board, and Monday was a good night for the few who rostered Agbaji. His fantasy value for the rest of the season will be influenced by Porter’s availability, but he’ll be no higher than second in the pecking order behind Wolf when MPJ doesn’t play.

Despite coming off the bench, Sharpe enjoyed one of his best games of the season in Monday’s 126-115 win over the Grizzlies. A double-digit scorer in three of his last four appearances, the Nets’ backup center has hit 19 points four times since February 1. At this point in the season, Sharpe has reached a point where deep-league managers can justify slotting him into lineups, even on nights when Nic Claxton (nine points, eight rebounds, five assists and two blocks) is available.

Less than a week after it was announced by Nets head coach Jordi Fernandez that Dëmin did not have a return timeline, the rookie has been ruled out for the rest of the season. The eighth overall pick in last summer’s draft, Dëmin has been dealing with plantar fascia issues in his left foot since the summer. While the Nets managed his workload throughout the season, with the rookie not playing back-to-backs, the issue flared up recently. The expectation is that he’ll be good to go for basketball activity early in the offseason. Dëmin appeared in 52 games, starting 45, and averaged 10.3 points, 3.2 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 0.8 steals and 2.4 three-pointers in 25.2 minutes. While perimeter shooting was believed to be a significant question mark during the pre-draft process, Dëmin shot 38.5 percent from beyond the arc. The most consistent of the Nets’ five first-round picks, he’s someone who will be worth picking in drafts next fall.
