Mann missed Monday’s game, which allowed Tyrese Martin to log 19 minutes as a starter in his stead. However, Drake Powell played 24 minutes off the bench and was more productive in the box score. Powell is likely only worth streaming in deeper leagues, but he should see the biggest boost with Mann out.

There’s some good news on two fronts regarding Ball’s appearance on Charlotte’s most recent injury report. It’s his left (non-shooting) wrist that is currently sore, and the point guard’s ankle is not cited as a reason for the appearance, either. If Ball can’t play on Wednesday, Collin Sexton will return to the starting lineup.

Mann will miss a second straight game with a left ankle impingement. His absence should once again result in more playing time for Collin Sexton and Liam McNeeley. While McNeeley could have value later in the season, Sexton is a worthwhile option in deeper leagues currently.

Miller was held out of Monday’s loss to the Nets due to what the Hornets described as left shoulder soreness. Ahead of Wednesday, the injury is now listed as a left shoulder subluxation, which cost him 13 games earlier this season. Miller may be considered day-to-day, but fantasy managers should plan for the possibility of him being out for an extended period. Sion James should continue to start until Miller returns.

On Monday, Salaün saw his first NBA action since November 2, and he took advantage of the opportunity. The second-year forward was one of five Hornets reserves to score at least eight points on a night when three starters (Miles Bridges, Ryan Kalkbrenner and Sion James) combined to score 15. Salaün’s Monday night does not make him a player worth adding, but there may come a point later in the season when the Hornets prioritize his playing time for developmental reasons.

While Ball did not offer much scoring value, the 14 assists were a season-high. For the season, Ball is averaging 8.9 assists per game, more than a full assist more than his 2024-25 average (7.4). However, the inefficient shooting has negatively impacted Ball’s value. He’s shooting a career-low 37.8 percent from the field, and Monday’s 3-of-9 effort doesn’t help. Fantasy managers expect to take a hit in the turnover and field-goal percentage categories, but he’s been a safe bet to make at least 40 percent of his shots in the past. That has not been the case this season.

Over his last two games, Knueppel has shot 8-of-16 from beyond the arc. While fantasy managers in category leagues would like to see some defensive production from the rookie, he has been one of the most productive first-year players in the NBA this season. And over the past two weeks, Knueppel has been a sixth-round player in nine-cat formats. He continues to exceed his Yahoo! ADP (142) and has been one of the few bright spots for the Hornets this season.

Wolf may have a knack for dunking on people. Two nights removed from putting Milwaukee’s Kyle Kuzma on a poster as part of a 22-point night, the rookie did the same to Charlotte’s Miles Bridges. Wolf’s overall production against the Hornets didn’t move the needle much in fantasy basketball, but he’s hit double figures in minutes in three straight games. That may not mean much right now, but Wolf could be a valuable option for fantasy managers after the February trade deadline.

Claxton recorded a complete stat line on Monday, and the rebounding production was especially encouraging. After grabbing 11 rebounds in three consecutive games, the Nets center entered Monday having totaled 14 rebounds over his last three. After totaling 18 double-digit rebound games in 2024-25, he has six through Brooklyn’s first 20 games of this season. For those punting free-throw percentage, Claxton is providing top-75 fantasy value.

After ripping off a streak of eight straight games in double figures, Clowney put up a dud in Saturday’s loss to the Bucks. He got back on track on Monday, shooting 66.7 percent from the field and 50 percent from beyond the arc in Brooklyn’s win over the Hornets. While he remains ranked outside the top-200 in nine-cat formats, Clowney’s status as a starter makes him worth a look in deeper leagues. And that should remain the case throughout the season.

After recording three 30-point games last season with the Nuggets, Porter dropped his sixth of his first season with the Nets on Monday. The 35 points were a season-high for the forward, who was efficient and only lacked a blocked shot on his stat line. While there may be some concern about a late-season shutdown due to the Nets’ prioritization of the 2026 draft class, we haven’t reached that point yet. Porter is in a spot where he can be highly valuable, at least until the trade deadline.

Porter is back after a two-game absence and will fill the void left by the inactive Terance Mann. This means Martin will remain in the starting lineup for a second consecutive game, giving him a slightly higher fantasy ceiling. Also, Dëmin is back after sitting out Saturday’s loss to the Bucks for injury management reasons.

Mann has been a nice rotation piece for the Hornets, contributing 9.2 points per game off the bench. In his absence, Collin Sexton should be the primary guard off the bench for a Hornets team looking to put together a third straight win on Monday. Liam McNeeley may also see more minutes.

Absent from the Hornets’ initial injury report for Monday, Miller will not play due to left shoulder soreness. It’s the same shoulder that sidelined him for nearly a month, and he appeared to aggravate the injury during Saturday’s win over the Raptors. Sion James is the most likely replacement in the starting lineup. While the rookie has had his moments, he is not someone who needs to be rostered in redraft leagues.

Thomas has been out since November 5, when he strained his left hamstring during a game against the Pacers. At the time, he was given a timeline of three to four weeks before being re-evaluated. Once the next MRI is completed, the team will provide an updated timeline for Thomas. For now, those who have him stashed in an IL+ slot should continue to do so.

Both players were listed as probable on Sunday evening, so their availability is not surprising. MPJ will be back following a two-game absence which will erase Ziaire Williams’ streaming value.

Dëmin will be back after a one-game absence, which allowed Tyrese Martin to start in his place. Martin will likely return to a reserve role with Dëmin available. Dëmin scored a career-best 23 points in the last game he suited up for and will look to build off that.

This was the first time Saraf has suited up since Nov. 11, he injured his ankle during a G League game earlier this month, and this was the first time since then that he checked in for Brooklyn. He logged 29 minutes in the ugly loss and was one of the more productive players for the Nets. The lopsided score certainly altered the rotation, but Saraf could earn more minutes after leading the team in assists.

Wolf hasn’t played much of a role during his rookie year, but he was part of the rotation in this game and made a huge impact off the bench. He led the Nets in scoring while enjoying the best game of his young career. He’s a dynamic big man that has tremendous upside, and Brooklyn will likely let him continue to take on more minutes to see how he can develop. He’s a valuable piece in dynasty leagues, and he’s worth keeping an eye on in standard redraft leagues.

Martin slid into the starting unit with Egor Dëmin sidelined, but he wasn’t able to make the most of the opportunity. He played 24 minutes in the lopsided loss and simply didn’t make much of an impact in the box score. He wasn’t alone, as this was an ugly game for all the Nets starters. Martin may get another start of both Dëmin and Michael Porter Jr. remain out against the Hornets on Monday, but he won’t be worth streaming.

With LaMelo Ball (14/2/5 with one three-pointer) struggling with foul trouble and under a minutes restriction, Sexton gave the Hornets valuable minutes off the bench. Shooting over 50 percent from the field, the veteran guard recorded a complete stat line and helped lead the way as Charlotte outscored Toronto by a 24-17 margin in the fourth quarter to force overtime. Sexton hasn’t been the most reliable fantasy option, but Ball’s injury history makes him worth holding onto in deep leagues.

After a stellar performance in Friday’s win over the Bulls, Miller played the second game of Charlotte’s home back-to-back. While the poor shooting was problematic, more concerning for fantasy managers was Miller exiting during the third quarter after appearing to aggravate his left shoulder injury. While he did return later in the quarter, the Hornets forward did not seem to be all that comfortable. The Hornets begin a four-game Week 7 in Brooklyn on Monday, but they won’t have any back-to-backs. Hopefully, Miller will be available for all four contests.

Bridges wasn’t too thrilled with the performances of either himself or his teammates in Wednesday’s loss to the Knicks. He’s backed up the words that followed that blowout loss with actions, totaling 57 points in wins over the Bulls and Raptors. Saturday’s 35 points were a season high for the athletic forward, who has four 30-point games to his name in 2025-26. Bridges and the Hornets play four games in Week 7, starting with the Nets on Monday.

After totaling 18 points on 7-of-26 shooting in his previous two games, Knueppel got back on track Saturday night. The rookie has scored at least 20 points in ten of his 19 appearances, and that production has placed Knueppel among the best rookies in the NBA, if not at the top of that list. Given the recent injury issues for LaMelo Ball and Brandon Miller, Knueppel boasts a high ceiling in redraft leagues. The Hornets play four games during Week 7, starting with the Nets on Monday.

The Nets are without Egor Dëmin, who is out due to plantar fascia injury management. As a result, Martin will make his third start of the season, and the promotion makes him worth a look in deep redraft leagues. Martin isn’t a must-stream player, but there are opportunities to produce.

Dëmin is out for Saturday’s game with the Bucks for left plantar fascia injury management reasons. It’s undoubtedly a bummer after the 19-year-old point guard had his best game since joining the Nets with 23 points against the 76ers on Friday. Dëmin is certainly a player to keep tabs on for fantasy managers going forward, though he may not be worth rostering just yet.

Bridges had one of his better statistical performances of the season in this one. He matched his season high for assists and approached triple-double territory. Bridges is currently averaging career highs in both points and three-pointers, and the volume of triples has helped to offset the worst field goal percentage of his career. That wasn’t an issue in this game, which resulted in one of his best games of the year.

Sexton has been at his best this season as part of the starting lineup, but he was able to reach 20 points as a reserve for the first time this season in this one. He has been an excellent addition for Charlotte and has been a consistent source of offense when given the opportunity. Still, Sexton’s best games will continue to come when he is able to start, so don’t expect nights like this often.

This was only Miller’s fifth appearance this season, but he has been fantastic when he has suited up this year. This game featured new season-highs for minutes, points, blocks and three-pointers and resulted in Charlotte’s fifth win of the season.

Dëmin had his best game as a Net on Friday, reaching double figures for the sixth time, with this being his first 20-point game. The rookei guard recorded a complete stat line in 30 minutes on the floor. Since replacing Ben Saraf (DNP-CD on Friday) in the starting lineup, Dëmin has not been productive enough to be a must-roster player in 14-team leagues. However, he is definitely worth watching in the aftermath of Friday’s performance.

Mann is rostered in only three percent of Yahoo! leagues, and with good reason. While he did record a solid line against the 76ers, his inconsistency makes him difficult to trust in most fantasy formats. However, it appears that he’s a lock in the starting lineup for the foreseeable future, especially as first-round pick Drake Powell (4/1/1 in 21 minutes) also has his bouts with inconsistency. There may come a point later in the season when the roles reverse, but we aren’t there yet.

The bad news for fantasy managers who have Clowney rostered is that he shot the ball poorly on Friday. The good news is that he recorded a complete stat line, which is good for the overall value in category leagues. For the season, the third-year forward remains ranked just outside the top-200 in nine-cat formats, due mainly to his low field-goal percentage. However, Clowney has been a sixth-round player over the past two weeks. Despite Friday’s poor shooting, he’s trending in the right direction.

The lone change to the lineup is Williams, who steps in for Michael Porter Jr. While he’s scored seven points on 2-of-8 shooting over the last two games, Williams did go on a run of three straight games in double figures before that.

Saraf injured his left ankle during a G League game on November 15. With the Nets already sending fellow rookie Nolan Traoré to the G League, that may be an indication regarding Saraf’s availability for Friday.

Wednesday’s game qualifies as Knueppel’s worst as a pro. The rookie shot 0-of-7 from beyond the arc and made one shot apiece in the first and fourth quarters.

He’ll look to bounce back when the Hornets face the Bulls on Friday in both teams’ NBA Cup finale.

Bridges had a rough night at the foul line, and he did not record any defensive stats, either. Despite limited defensive production, the veteran forward is still providing top-50 value in nine-cat formats.

Miller led the way for the Hornets, shooting 4-of-9 from beyond the arc. The nature of Wednesday’s game, which the Knicks won 129-101, meant he got some extra time on the bench, with the Hornets already eliminated from the NBA Cup. However, his 28 minutes were two more than his total in Saturday’s loss to the Clippers. Miller can be a valuable fantasy option when playing without restrictions, so fantasy managers must be patient as he works to improve his conditioning.

Powell appears to like playing against the Knicks. Just over two weeks after scoring a season-high 15 points in a road loss to the Nets’ crosstown rival, the rookie wing matched that number on Monday. Powell didn’t record any defensive stats in the 113-100 defeat, but the offensive improvement was good to see. Since the first meeting with New York, he averaged 6.0 points in the six games that followed. This is going to be a season in which Powell and fellow rookie Egor Dëmin (9/6/2/1 with one three-pointer) play plenty; fantasy managers must hope that the early-season lumps turn them into valuable options during the “silly season.”

Porter had a rough night, shooting 1-of-9 from beyond the arc as the Nets remained winless at home. That ends a streak of five straight games with at least three three-pointers, during which he shot 42.9 percent on 8.4 three-point attempts per game. Porter’s fantasy value is fine for now, but there remains the lingering concern that the Nets could choose to either trim his minutes or go the “injury management” route later this season. He’ll look to bounce back when the Nets host the 76ers on Friday.

Clowney didn’t record any defensive stats in Monday’s defeat, but the third-year forward/center had the best offensive night of his NBA career. Not only did Clowney record career-highs in points and three-pointers, but he also finished with his first 30-point game. While his season-long value places him just outside the top-200 in nine-cat formats, Clowney has been close to a top-50 player over the last two weeks. Rostered in 20 percent of Yahoo! leagues, he’s worth a look in more 14-team leagues due to the Nets’ status as a rebuilding team.
