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.

Ware missed Tuesday’s record-setting game against the Wizards in which Bam Adebayo scored 83 points. It appears that Ware will return for this one and go back to his role with around 26-30 minutes per game. With Tyler Herro (quad/illness) questionable, Ware could be in for a bit of a bigger usage day if Herro does miss.

The impact of Ware’s absence on Tuesday may have been slightly skewed by Bam Adebayo going off for 83 points, as Miami’s starting center played 42 minutes. If Ware remains out, the Heat will likely have to go small a bit more often than they did against the Wizards.

Porter returned to the starting lineup Tuesday after resting for Monday’s win over the Grizzlies. The 27-year-old small forward had 19 points, but played only 22 minutes due to a blowout. The good news for Porter managers is that the Nets have two more games this week, starting with a matchup against the Hawks on Thursday.

The Heat have won six straight games, and Mitchell’s improvements as a playmaker is one of the reasons for the team’s surgery. During the streak, he has totaled 29 assists and five turnovers. Mitchell may not provide elite scoring, but the improved efficiency and defensive ability have given his fantasy value a welcome boost. The Heat play two more games in Week 20, starting with the Bucks on Thursday.

It’s unlikely to become a trivia question in the future, but Fontecchio was Miami’s second-leading scorer on a night when Bam Adebayo dropped a franchise-record 83 points. Fontecchio shot 3-of-4 from beyond the arc, and the 18 points were the most in a game for him since hitting that number in a February 3 loss to the Hawks. In fact, Fontecchio’s 18 points matched his total from his prior five appearances.

Adebayo’s night was absurd, and it didn’t take long to realize that he was capable of doing something special. He scored 31 points in the first quarter and went into the halftime break with 43, with both accomplishments being franchise records. And despite holding a commanding lead throughout, the Heat didn’t pull Adebayo until late in the fourth, allowing him to put up the second-highest single-game point total in NBA history. He also set league records for free throws made and attempted, and became the first player to attempt at least 22 three-pointers and 30 free throws in the same game.

Sharpe is coming off one of his better games of the season after posting a 19/5/2/2/1 line against the Grizzlies on Monday. He’s dealing with a left thumb sprain and will get the night off for the second leg of a back-to-back set. Nic Claxton should handle an increased workload with Sharpe out of action, while Danny Wolf could operate as Claxton’s top backup. The absence of Williams isn’t as impactful, but it could mean more minutes for Ochai Agbaji.

With Michael Porter Jr. (rest) getting the night off, Wolf made his ninth start of the season. 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. While the returns haven’t been elite, Wolf is worth the streaming risk in deep leagues when allowed to start.

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.

The Nets outscored the Pistons by a 34-21 margin in the fourth quarter, but Porter did most of his damage in the first three frames. The Nets forward finished with his second double-double in as many games and 12th of the season, three shy of his total for the 2024-25 campaign. The good news for fantasy managers is that the Nets continue to play Porter starters’ minutes, preserving his value. Brooklyn plays four games in Week 20, starting with a home back-to-back against the Grizzlies (Monday) and Pistons (Tuesday). As a result, this could be a three-game week for Porter.

Two days after he recorded a double-double with five steals, Ware provided an encore in a rematch against the Nets. Only this time, he set a new career high for blocks. This was only the sixth time in NBA history that a player recorded a double-double and finished with at least five steals and seven blocks, with Hakeem Olajuwon (4x) and David Robinson as the only two other players to achieve all of those feats in the same game. That is certainly good company for the 21-year-old. Ware’s inconsistent role has been incredibly frustrating, but he clearly has the makings of a fantasy star. Still, even if he isn’t starting, he’s playing too well for fantasy managers to not take advantage.
