Smith made six appearances on his first 10-day deal, averaging 6.2 points, 2.2 rebounds and 2.7 assists in 19.6 minutes per game. His best performance came against the Kings on Sunday, when he contributed 18 points, four assists, three steals and three three-pointers in 29 minutes. Smith should continue to play a role off the bench for the Nets over their next five games.

With Traore sidelined, fellow rookie Ben Saraf should get the starting nod at point guard. Saraf has been a solid source of points, assists and steals lately, and he should be productive in an increased role. However, he is too inefficient to be worth rostering in category leagues.

Etienne has reached double figures in four of his last five appearances. In Monday’s blowout defeat, he established a new career-high with 18 points, shooting 4-of-7 from beyond the arc. While the recent production has been nice, there’s no reason to consider adding Etienne in any fantasy leagues. The Nets play three more games in Week 22, so there should be a few more opportunities for Etienne to play extended minutes.

Inserted into the Nets’ starting lineup after not playing at all in Sunday’s loss to the Kings, Minott logged a team-high 33 minutes in Portland. He shot the ball relatively well, including a 2-of-4 night from beyond the arc. While Minott has put forth some very good efforts since the All-Star break, the inconsistent opportunities make it challenging to trust him in fantasy leagues fully. Chaney Johnson played 26 minutes off the bench, finishing with 12 points, five rebounds and three assists. He’s another player who has received opportunities to contribute, but not to the extent that he should be rostered in most leagues.

Williams played 24 minutes on Monday, and he finished a blocked shot shy of a complete stat line. He has started the Nets’ last three games, scoring in double figures in each. However, Williams has not played more than 25 minutes in any of those appearances, which limits his upside. There isn’t much to gain from rostering Williams at this point in the season, given the playing time.

Hartenstein was one point away from a triple-double with 20 rebounds in Saturday’s win over the Wizards. He didn’t have quite as good of a game on Monday against the 76ers, but he put up another double-double. The Thunder have three more games in Week 22, but only one is attached to a back-to-back, which should be beneficial for his availability.

Holmgren was just one rebound away from securing his third double-double in his last four games. The 23-year-old center was excellent with 17 points and four assists on offense and even had five blocks on the defensive end. Holmgren was 3-of-4 from behind the three-point line after only attempting five three-points over his last three games. He’s provided top-15 per game value over the last two weeks.

Gilgeous-Alexander was coming off a 40-point performance in Saturday’s win over the Wizards. The 27-year-old point guard wasn’t able to sustain that level of scoring and had 22 points on 13 attempts in 29 minutes. Gilgeous-Alexander has provided fifth overall per game value over the last two weeks. The Thunder have three more games in Week 22, the next coming on Wednesday against the Celtics.

The Nets have three new starters for Monday’s game, including Claxton, who missed Sunday’s loss to the Kings. Also in the lineup are Wilson and Minott, with the latter receiving a DNP-CD in Sacramento. In addition to not having Danny Wolf (ankle), the Nets are also without Terance Mann and Drake Powell, hence the three vacancies in the starting lineup.

The initial lineup announced by the Thunder had Williams coming off the bench in his first game since February 11. He will start, with Cason Wallace heading to the bench. The other change is Dort, who’s back after a one-game absence. He’ll step into the void left by Ajay Mitchell, who’s serving a one-game suspension after being ejected from Saturday’s win over the Wizards for his role in a second-quarter altercation.

Traoré has scored in double figures in three straight games, with the 17 points in Sacramento being the most in a game for him since March 1. Just as important for the rookie point guard was the turnover count. After rolling up ten in losses to the Warriors and Knicks, Traoré was responsible for just two on Sunday. As long as he’s healthy, Traoré should have every opportunity to run the team. He isn’t a must-add, but the rookie is worth considering in deep leagues, especially with the Nets playing four games in Week 22.

While Saraf still has work to do as a perimeter shooter, as evidenced by his 0-of-6 night from three, he was highly efficient inside of the arc. The rookie guard shot 10-of-14 from two, while also providing solid value in assists and steals. Nolan Traoré remains the starting point guard, but Egor Dëmin (foot) being out for the rest of the season has opened up more opportunities for Saraf.

A starter in Brooklyn’s last two games, Williams has totaled 35 points, six rebounds, four assists, three steals, one blocked shot and four three-pointers in losses to the Knicks and Kings. His value moving forward depends on the availability of Noah Clowney (wrist), who did not play in either matchup. The Nets play in Portland on Monday, and Williams may be worth a look in deep leagues if Clowney misses another game.

Wolf sprained his left ankle when he landed on the foot of teammate Terance Mann during the second quarter of Sunday’s game. Requiring assistance to get back to the locker room, the rookie is out for at least the rest of the night. Chaney Johnson and E.J. Liddell have been the reserve frontcourt players, and the Nets will likely go small for stretches as well.

Hartenstein’s struggles at the foul line cost him the second triple-double of his NBA career. Back in the Thunder lineup after missing Wednesday’s win over the Nets, the 7-footer was dominant on the glass and also provided excellent value as a playmaker. The Thunder’s four-game Week 22 does not have a back-to-back until its conclusion, which should bode well for Hartenstein’s availability.

Holmgren finished Saturday’s victory with his second double-double in three games. An interesting trend recently has been his decreased three-point attempts. Holmgren has attempted a total of five three-pointers over his last three appearances, missing them all. Given what else he brings to the table, this isn’t a major problem. However, it is something to watch during Oklahoma City’s four-game Week 22.

Unlike Wednesday’s loss to the Thunder, when he didn’t check into the game until well into the second half, Minott was one of the first subs off the bench on Friday. He made the most of his opportunity, shooting 6-of-9 from beyond the arc and tallying 22 points as part of a complete stat line. Noah Clowney’s wrist injury freed up additional minutes for Minott on Friday, and that may be the case again on Sunday in Sacramento.

Blowouts tend to give reserve players more opportunities to produce. McCain tied with Aaron Wiggins for the team lead in shot attempts, and he knocked down five three-pointers.

On a day when Shai Gilgeous-Alexander missed 14 of his first 17 shot attempts, the Oklahoma City bench stepped up. Joe led three reserves in double figures with 20 points, and he was joined by Alex Caruso (17/2/1/3 with one three-pointer) and Jared McCain (15 points, one steal and five three-pointers) in lighting it up. Joe’s fantasy ceiling is limited, even with Jalen Williams out, but he’ll have his opportunities to contribute. And Sunday’s game was a reminder of what he’s capable of when the threes are falling.
