Sharpe was not available for Monday’s loss to the Suns, which factored into starting center Nic Claxton playing 37 minutes. While Danny Wolf and Jalen Wilson can absorb a few of the minutes that would usually go to Sharpe, his availability affects Claxton, who should already be rostered in standard leagues, the most.

Thomas did not play in Monday’s loss to the Suns, as it was the second game of a back-to-back. He’ll likely be used in a reserve role on Wednesday, which does the guard no favors in terms of fantasy value or his hitting free agency in June.

Williams has reached double figures in four of his last five appearances. However, Monday’s game was his first since January 7, after he missed six games due to illness. Williams’ season-long fantasy value has not been good enough to make him a player worth rostering, and one solid effort won’t change that.

In addition to recording a season-high in assists, Mann hit double figures in points for the first time in his last eight appearances. While he did start on Monday, the veteran wing only played 26 minutes. Therein lies the issue for Mann, along with the inconsistent production. Getting the younger players minutes will only become more of a priority for the Nets moving forward, so there isn’t much to gain from rostering Mann.

Claxton is averaging career-highs in points and assists, with the latter category being more surprising. The Nets’ center, who entered Monday averaging 4.1 assists per game, has recorded four or more in six of his last seven appearances. Unfortunately, Claxton has shot 40 percent from the foul line over the past two weeks, which limits his value in roster builds where that category is not being punted.

Porter needed 23 shots to score his 23 points, with three-point shooting being the reason. A 40.5 percent shooter for the season, the Nets forward was 2-of-10 in Monday’s defeat. Porter’s 8-of-13 night from inside the arc ensured that his overall field-goal percentage didn’t take too big of a hit, and the overall stat line was a good one. As always, the concern for fantasy managers is Porter’s availability during playoff weeks, especially if he isn’t moved at or before the February 5 trade deadline.

Cissé wasn’t in the starting lineup on Monday, but the rookie center had one of his best games of the season. Finishing one rebound shy of a double-double, he was also responsible for four blocked shots. While Cissé isn’t a must-add right now, he’s worth being mindful of if the Mavericks decide to prioritize the 2026 draft lottery.

Making his first appearance at Madison Square Garden as an NBA player, Flagg had a solid evening at the office as the Mavs blew out the Knicks. Over the past two weeks, the rookie has been close to a top-50 player in eight-cat formats. The lone concern for Flagg would be staying healthy, as Monday’s game was his first after missing two with a sprained ankle.

Two significant issues became apparent for the Knicks early in Monday’s game: they couldn’t run Max Christie off the line, and they couldn’t keep Marshall out of the paint. Naji shot 6-of-12 from inside the arc, with a 1-of-6 mark from three negatively affecting his overall field-goal percentage. Providing sixth-round value in eight-cat formats over the past two weeks, Marshall is worth rostering, especially with P.J. Washington and Anthony Davis sidelined.

Christie put on a three-point shooting clinic in the first half of Monday’s game, making six of his seven attempts. The Mavericks guard would end the game with a career-best eight three-pointers and a season-high point total. In fact, Christie has scored at least 20 in consecutive games for the first time this season. With Anthony Davis out, there’s a need for scoring, and that makes Christie worth a look in deeper fantasy formats.

Due to an illness (four games) and conditioning (two), Williams has missed the Nets’ last six games.

The Nets snapped a five-game losing streak in Friday’s win over the Bulls but they didn’t fare so well during Sunday night’s rematch with leading scorer Michael Porter Jr. sitting out for load management reasons. Their issues weren’t limited to the offensive end as they allowed Chicago to shoot 52 percent from the floor and surrendered 124 points in a one-sided affair. Traore was one of the few bright spots as he did most of his damage in garbage time, knocking down 4-of-5 from beyond the arc to finish with a season-high 16 points off the bench. He’s earned some additional run but doesn’t offer enough of a role to be a viable streaming option for fantasy managers. The Nets have a four-game week coming up that features showdown against the Suns, Knicks, Celtics and Clippers.

The lone negative for Marshall on Saturday was the premature trip he took to the locker room during the fourth quarter. The team said nothing regarding an injury, but that’s something to keep an eye on ahead of Monday’s game against the Knicks. With Cooper Flagg and P.J. Washington missing time due to injury, Marshall has added value as a starter.

Williams has scored at least 18 points in three consecutive games, and he finished Saturday’s victory with his sixth 20-point game of the season. While Ryan Nembhard (seven points, one rebound, four assists and two three-pointers) was the preferred fantasy option earlier this season, Williams has been the superior option recently. He’s worth a look in deep leagues as long as Cooper Flagg (ankle) is out.

Back in the lineup after a two-game absence, it took Christie a little time to get going. But once he did, the Mavericks’ guard produced one of his better performances this season. Christie finished with his fourth 20-point game of the season and was a blocked shot shy of a complete stat line. With Cooper Flagg (ankle) joining Anthony Davis on the sidelines, Christie is worth a roll of the dice in deeper leagues.

Clowney had just six points in 31 minutes in Wednesday’s loss to the Pelicans, but bounced back in a big way against the Bulls on Friday. The 21-year-old power forward got off to a great start with 12 points and seven rebounds in the first half. He finished with 23 points and 11 rebounds to secure his first double-double this season. Clowney has provided 10th-round per game value over the last two weeks, but it’s games like Friday where he flashes high-ceiling potential that make him a more interesting player in dynasty formats.

Porter drove the lane and scored with five seconds left in regulation to give the Nets the lead. The victory was sealed as Chicago failed to score again in the final seconds. Porter continues to play at a high level amid trade rumors, which will likely only ramp up until the trade deadline. He’s provided second-round per game value over the last two weeks.

Thursday’s start was the first for Williams since November 24, and he took advantage of the opportunity. The Mavericks’ guard only missed one shot from the field, with the lone negative for him being three turnovers. Ryan Nembhard played 23 minutes off the bench, finishing with eight points, four rebounds and ten assists. Even when both are coming off the bench, Williams has been the favored option recently. That said, both have been challenging to trust in most fantasy leagues.

Due to injuries, Hardy has started each of the Mavericks’ last three games.

His value in the short term depends on Max Christie, who has missed the last two games due to illness.

Marshall has started six straight and 18 of the Mavericks’ last 22 games. On Thursday, his fantasy ceiling was raised due to the absence of Cooper Flagg and P.J. Washington, and he came through for fantasy managers. Marshall has scored at least 20 points in three consecutive games, and all that his stat line lacked on Thursday was a three-pointer. Mediocre foul shooting has limited Marshall’s fantasy ceiling, but he’s been close to a top-100 player over the past two weeks.

Dallas’s many absences left more shots available for the players who did play on Thursday, most notably Thompson. Despite coming off the bench, the veteran guard led the Mavericks in field-goal attempts and makes. And Thompson made some history, moving past Damian Lillard into fourth place on the NBA’s career regular-season three-pointers list. Thompson’s ceiling in the short term may be determined by how much time Cooper Flagg misses after spraining his ankle on Wednesday. The longer the rookie sits, the higher Thompson’s ceiling is, given the need for scoring.

Back in the rotation after sitting out Monday’s loss to the Mavericks, Thomas was limited to 24 minutes against the Pelicans. With this being the guard’s contract year, the role has to be frustrating. Fantasy managers can take solace in the assist tally, as Thomas’ five helpers were the most in a game for him since he dished out nine on October 24.
