As expected, Martin will suit up against Brooklyn. However, he only played six minutes on Saturday after playing 17 minutes on Thursday. Martin has not been productive since being traded to the Mavs, and that is unlikely to change on Monday.

Lively was upgraded to questionable ahead of this game, but his return will be delayed for at least one more game. Lively hasn’t suited up since January 14, but ESPN’s Tim MacMahon reported he is “trending toward” a return later this week. That is backed up by his questionable tag. If it’s not Wednesday against the Hawks, Lively could play in one leg of the Mavs’ mini-series with the Clippers on Friday and Saturday. With Daniel Gafford returning on Monday, Kai Jones could be pushed out of the rotation soon.

As expected, Davis will be good to go on Monday. Head coach Jason Kidd said that AD will be restricted to 25-28 minutes despite playing 29 minutes in each of the Mavs’ last two games. However, that is more than enough time for Davis to feast on the Nets.

Gafford will make his return and suit up for the first time since before the All-Star break. Dallas has a 1.5 game lead over the Suns for the final play-in spot, and the reinforcements down low will help them keep their position. Gafford is expected to play 15-20 minutes in this game.

Martin is on track to play against the Nets, giving the Mavericks another option on the wing. However, he has not been productive enough to merit being rostered in most fantasy leagues.

Gafford last played on February 10, but he’s poised to make a return following a six-week absence. The Mavs have brought back Anthony Davis, and the return of Gafford means the team is gearing up for a Play-In Tournament run. Don’t expect Gafford to see big minutes right away, as Dallas may choose to ease him back into action.

Due to a stress fracture in his ankle, Lively has not appeared in a game since January 14. That may change on Monday, as he’s considered questionable. With Daniel Gafford (knee) probable to play, Kai Jones may fall out of the rotation entirely if Lively is also available. If Lively does not play, Jones should still log rotation minutes available.

Claxton got Saturday off to rest on the second leg of a back-to-back set, but he’ll return on Monday and presumably handle a typical workload. His return could mean less playing time for Drew Timme, but Timme could continue to see meaningful minutes off the bench.

Davis continues to struggle shooting as he’s 12-of-42 from the field over the last two games. It’s still encouraging that the 32-year-old power forward played at least 29 minutes in back-to-back games. Davis has some rust he still needs to shake off, but fantasy managers can’t ask for much more from him given he’s coming back from an adductor injury.

Washington returned after missing two games with an ankle injury. He looked like the same guy as he had 19 points and seven rebounds against the Bulls Saturday. Washington has maintained his production even while playing alongside Anthony Davis. While he benefited from all the injuries the Mavericks have dealt with this season, Washington is a solid player who can still be counted on with Davis back.

Dinwiddie’s play has been exceptional of late as he’s provided top-75 fantasy value over the last two weeks. The 31-year-old point guard has been the primary beneficiary of Kyrie Irving’s absence as he’s getting to run the show in Dallas. Dinwiddie’s scoring can fluctuate, but he’s a reliable assist man with at least seven assists in six of his last seven games. He should be rostered in all leagues at this point.

With Nic Claxton resting, Timme was set for a considerable role off the bench in this one. He ended up scoring 19 points and pulling down six rebounds in 29 minutes of play. It was a solid follow up performance to the double-double he had in his NBA debut Friday. Timme is still best left on waiver wires as Claxton will likely return to play soon.

Martin started for the injured D’Angelo Russell Saturday and was excellent with 20 points on 11 shots including three made three-pointers. The 26-year-old point guard will have to be more consistent before he’s considered a recommended streaming option when the opportunity arises, though. Russell sat out the second game of a back-to-back, but is likely to return to play soon.

Johnson had an excellent game with 18 points on 10 shots and was just one rebound and three assists away from a triple-double. He only played 24 minutes after taking a hard fall on his back in the second half of the game. It’s unclear what his availability will be going forward, but this is certainly an excuse for the Nets to shut Johnson down for the rest of the season. Jalen Wilson and Trendon Watford could see more playing time if that were the case.

Williams continues to show up on the injury report with low back tightness. He scored 14 points in 27 minutes against the Magic on Thursday and should be in line for a similar workload Saturday against the Bulls.

Washington was initially listed as questionable, but will return after a two-game absence with an ankle injury. His return will cut into Naji Marshall’s playing time. Davis is available again after playing Thursday and should play about 30 minutes against the Bulls.

Gafford and Lively will remain out for another game, which means Kai Jones will continue to start alongside Anthony Davis. Jones is worth streaming in deep leagues when allowed to start.

The Nets are without D’Angelo Russell and Nic Claxton, opening up two spots in the starting lineup. Martin will replace Russell, which also raises Keon Johnson’s fantasy ceiling.

Clowney had been dealing with a wrist injury, but an illness could keep him sidelined on the second night of a back-to-back.

Claxton will get the night of on the second leg of Brooklyn’s back-to-back. Noah Clowney is questionable with an illness, so the Nets could be incredibly shorthanded down low.

Hours after signing a two-year contract, Timme made his Nets debut against the Clippers. Noah Clowney and Day’Ron Sharpe being out meant rotation minutes for the former Gonzaga standout, and he recorded a double-double. There’s no need to add Timme in the aftermath of this performance, but it’s an indicator of what he can offer when playing rotation minutes. The Nets visit the Wizards on Saturday, so one (or both) of those reserve bigs may be available.

Friday night was rough for Johnson and those who have him rostered. He provided limited production and only played for 20 minutes. While Johnson’s playing time occasionally taking a hit is unsurprising since the Nets aim to improve their draft lottery odds, 20 minutes is extreme for a player of his caliber. And with Brooklyn visiting the Wizards on Saturday, there’s no guarantee he will be available. Consider Johnson questionable for that matchup.

No Nets players did much offensively in the 132-100 defeat, with Johnson leading the way in scoring. Percentages have long been an issue for Johnson, which has lowered his fantasy ceiling. However, most nights, the circumstances have made him worth the risk in deep leagues. Unfortunately, that was not the case on Friday, even with the steals production. The Nets visit the Wizards on Saturday in what should be an entertaining game for deep-league fantasy managers.

The former Gonzaga star went undrafted in 2023 and has been working hard in the G League to earn a spot in the NBA. After being named G League Player of the Week, Timme earned a standard contract with Brooklyn. It will be a good opportunity for him over the final couple weeks of the regular season, but it’s likely an indication of how the Nets want the rest of the season to play out. They are currently tied with Philadelphia for the fifth-best lottery odds despite both teams being on lengthy losing streaks. Don’t be surprised if Brooklyn fully pulls the plug on veterans such as Nic Claxton, D’Angelo Russell and Cameron Johnson soon.

Hardy only played 20 minutes with Brandon Williams (back) available Thursday. The 22-year-old point guard was very efficient as he made five three-pointers. Hardy has scored at least 20 points in 2-of-7 games in March, but hasn’t played more than 25 minutes in any of those games. He’s only usable when the Mavericks are missing players that would necessitate him seeing more minutes.

Davis played 29 minutes, but this game was somewhat of a clunker for the 32-year-old power forward. Davis was able to contribute on the defensive end and on the glass, but struggled with his shot. It’s clear the big man is still rusty in just his second game back from a long layoff. Davis figures to continue playing on a minutes limit for the time being, harming his fantasy value down the stretch.

Irving tore the ACL in his left knee during a March 3 game against the Kings, ending his 2024-25 season. According to the team, the procedure to repair the torn ligament took place on Wednesday and was successful. A timeline for a return to basketball remains unknown, and complicating Irving’s situation is that he can be a free agent this summer.

Due to injuries, Whitehead has not been a factor in fantasy basketball in either of his two NBA seasons. However, now would be a good time for the Nets to see what they have in their 2023 first-round pick. The 25 minutes he logged on Wednesday were a career-high, and Whitehead shot 3-of-9 from beyond the arc.

Claxton was the only Nets standout in Wednesday’s 30-point defeat, and his value has increased in recent weeks. Over the past two weeks, the Nets center has provided top-60 value to managers punting turnovers and free throw percentage. While the season has not panned out the way many Claxton managers hoped it would, he’s been solid during the fantasy playoff weeks. However, with the Nets concluding Week 21 with a Friday/Saturday back-to-back, it’s possible Claxton missed a game for rest reasons.

While Sharpe has recorded three steals or more in three games this season, he isn’t expected to provide value in that category on most nights. Rostered in 13 percent of Yahoo! leagues, Sharpe has provided 12th-round value in nine-cat formats over the past two weeks.

While fantasy managers can undoubtedly use the points and assists recorded by Johnson on Monday, there were issues. The 1-of-7 night from three wasn’t a huge issue, as few fantasy leagues use three-point percentage as a scoring category. Unfortunately, the six turnovers will impact Johnson’s value in nine-cat formats during Week 21. The good news is that high-turnover nights have not been the norm for Cam, who has been a fourth-round player in nine-cat formats over the past two weeks. The Nets play three more games during Week 21, starting with the Raptors on Wednesday.

Claxton entered Monday shooting 1-of-16 from three on the season. Against the Mavericks, he made both of his attempts and shot 8-of-11 from the field. The points, rebounds and blocks are more reliable, so fantasy managers should not expect to see Nic turn into a face-up five overnight. However, with the Nets well out of the postseason race, these final games may be used as a testing ground for Claxton. We’ll see if he becomes more willing to take perimeter shots after Monday’s 2-of-2 effort from three.
