Porter has missed Brooklyn’s last two games due to illness, resulting in Danny Wolf moving into the starting lineup. Wolf may retain that role if MPJ can’t play on Sunday, but the probable tag suggests that the veteran forward will be available.

Claxton remains away from the team for personal reasons, with Sunday’s game being the second that he will miss. Day’Ron Sharpe stepped into the starting lineup for Friday’s loss to the Wizards, logging 30 minutes. Given the workload, he is worth streaming as long as Claxton is unavailable.

Sharpe was productive in his first start of the season. The 24-year-old center stepped up with Nic Claxton (personal) out, scoring 14 points and grabbing nine rebounds. Sharpe also had three assists and filled the stat sheet with two steals and two blocks. After a game like this, there could be more starts in the future for Sharpe.

It was all set up for Clowney on Friday. His 13 field goal attempts with Nic Claxton are a little more than he typically gets, but while the opportunity was there, he simply had an off-night. Clowney missed all eight of his three-point attempts and finished with just eight points in 28 minutes. He was a -12 in the 20-point loss. Clowney and the Nets will look to bounce back Sunday against the Nuggets.

The Nets won’t have Michael Porter Jr. or Nic Claxton for Friday’s game, opening up two spots in the starting lineup. Mann and Sharpe will start, with the former back in action after sitting out Thursday’s loss to the Rockets. The other change is Dëmin, whose return to action pushes Drake Powell to the bench.

Thomas played 23 minutes in Thursday’s game, but after missing almost two months with a hamstring injury, they’ll sit him out for the second game of this back-to-back. Drake Powell and Tyrese Martin should both see a few extra minutes with Thomas unavailable.

Dëmin will be back after a one-game absence, which lines up with both Cam Thomas (hamstring) and Michael Porter Jr. (illness) being out. Dëmin should get plenty of usage against another young team, which could lead to a big night. Drake Powell started in his place on Thursday and should return to the bench, though there will still be plenty of minutes for him.

Claxton will be unavailable for the first time this season. Both Noah Clowney and Danny Wolf started alongside Claxton in Brooklyn’s last game, while Day’Ron Sharpe played 19 minutes off the bench in the blowout loss. All three stand to benefit from Claxton’s absence, though Clowney should be the best option for fantasy managers.

MPJ will miss a second straight game due to this illness. Ziaire Williams started in his place on Thursday and contributed 14 points and five steals, which were a career high. With MPJ out again, Williams has upside as a streaming option.

Due to injuries, Wolf was tabbed to make his first start on Thursday. The rookie forward/center recorded a complete stat line, providing solid value in the assist and steal categories. His value in the short term depends on the availability of Terance Mann and Michael Porter Jr. However, Wolf should have solid value during the “silly season,” especially given how well he played in early December.
BKN • Forward • #8

Due to injuries, Williams was one of three replacements in the Nets’ starting lineup on Thursday. While the scoring was solid, the steals category is where the former first-round pick stood out. Williams’ five pilfers were a career-high, and he’s recorded at least one in five straight games (11 total). If Michael Porter Jr. remains out, Williams will be worth a look for deep-league managers needing steals, but the offensive production has been inconsistent.
BKN • Guard • #24

Due to the amount of time he missed with a hamstring injury, Thomas continues to come off the bench. The good news for fantasy managers is that they know he won’t get cheated on the shot attempts when he’s in the game. Thomas led the Nets in points and field-goal attempts on Thursday, which should be a common occurrence when Michael Porter Jr. is unavailable.

The Nets are down three starters for their first game of 2026, with Egor Dëmin, Terance Mann and Michael Porter Jr. out due to injury. Powell, Williams and Wolf move into the starting lineup, with the latter offering the highest streaming ceiling of the three.

That means the Nets will be without Porter Jr., Egor Demin, and Terance Mann on Thursday. While Tyrese Martin could see more minutes, Cam Thomas could see all the usage he can handle on Thursday. Nic Claxton may also see a sizable workload as well.
BKN • G-F • #14

Mann had been listed as questionable, but he clearly didn’t progress as well as the Nets had hoped. Thursday is the first game of a back-to-back, so Mann may return on Thursday. With Egor Dëmin (back) also out and Michael Porter Jr. (illness) listed as questionable, the Nets could be severely short-handed on Thursday. They could increase Cam Thomas’ minutes in his third game back and could give extra minutes to Drake Powell or Nolan Traore.

Mann had four points in 28 minutes in Monday’s loss to the Warriors. The 29-year-old small forward is on the injury report for Thursday with a right hip contusion. With Michael Porter Jr. (illness) also questionable, Tyrese Martin could be back in the rotation against the Rockets.

Dëmin will have to wait at least one more game before following up on his 23-point outing. Tyrese Martin started in his place during his most recent absence, but Cam Thomas being back could prevent that from happening again. Thomas stands to benefit the most, depending on how many minutes they’re willing to play him.

Porter is questionable for Thursday with an illness, though he has plenty of time to recover before the game against the Rockets. With Terance Mann also questionable with a hip injury, Tyrese Martin could be in line for an expanded role depending on how the Nets’ injury report shakes out.

It was an ugly game overall for Minnesota, but Randle joined Anthony Edwards (30 points) as the only starters to score in double figures. It wasn’t a spectacular outing for Randle, but he was one of the more productive Wolves in this game. Unfortunately, he wasn’t able to carry over his assist production from their last game. He’ll look to help Minnesota get back on track in Miami on Saturday.

Edwards was able to have a big night, but he didn’t get much help from his team in the homecoming game. Only two other players scored in double figures for Minnesota, and one of them was Johnny Juzang, who only played the final seven minutes of this game. Edwards has been consistently dominant this season, and the Wolves haven’t been on the wrong end of blowouts often this year. Edwards will look to carry this production over into a matchup with Miami on Saturday.

Reid was a force of nature in the second half, going off for 23 points on 7-of-10 shooting, including 4-of-6 from three-point range. The 26-year-old big main drained a season-high six triples in this one while also chipping in seven boards and three assists in a stat sheet-stuffing effort. He’s capable of delivering outstanding fantasy value when he’s feeling it from downtown. He’s a must-start for the remainder of the week when the Timberwolves face the Hawks, Heat and Wizards.
MIN • Forward-Center • #30

Randle recorded the unconventional triple-double while Minnesota kicked off a four-game road trip by dishing out a season-high 14 helpers, reaching double-digit assists for the second straight contest. The 31-year-old’s transition to a facilitator role has driven down his scoring numbers lately but fantasy managers will certainly take the uptick in the assist department.

Edwards took a metaphorical backseat in this one as Naz Reid caught fire off the bench, dropping a season-high 33 points on 11-of-18 shooting, including 6-of-10 from downtown. The 24-year-old fantasy superstar was able to sit out most of the fourth quarter as Minnesota lead by as many as 41 points in this one.

Porter was held to just 10 second-half points as Golden State pulled away for a relatively easy win. The 27-year-old scoring machine has generated 24 points or more in nine of 11 games since December 1. He’s delivered top-25 overall fantasy value this season, averaging 25.8 points, 7.5 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 0.9 steals and 0.2 blocks through 26 games.

Dëmin knocked down a season-high seven three-pointers as he finished with double-digit shot attempts for the fifth consecutive contest. The encouraging sign for fantasy managers here is that his role hasn’t diminished with Cam Thomas back in the fold after missing nearly two months due to injury.

On the heels of an impressive 30-point effort on Sunday in his return from a 20-game absence due to a left hamstring strain, Thomas was limited to just 18 minutes off the bench on the tail-end of a back-to-back. The 24-year-old guard still managed to put up 12 shots but only three of them were from beyond the arc. He’ll likely be on a minutes restriction for a couple additional games before Brooklyn feels comfortable ramping up his usage.

Williams sat out Saturday’s game against the Timberwolves, but will return after a one-game absence. The 24-year-old forward will have his usual bench role Monday against the Warriors. He hasn’t been productive enough to warrant rostering in most fantasy leagues this year.

Thomas made an immediate impact in his return to the lineup following a nearly two-month absence due to a left hamstring strain. The 24-year-old scoring machine was limited to just 19 minutes in this one and figures to have a governor on his workload for the next couple games. He still managed to hoist 15 shot attempts and went 3-of-8 from three-point range in addition to getting to the free throw line for nine attempts. The Nets are back in action on Monday against the Warriors before facing the Rockets, Wizards and Nuggets to close out a four-game week.

Coming off his sixth 40-point performance of the season, Edwards was one of the few bright spots in a relatively forgettable performance for Minnesota. The 24-year-old superstar is averaging a whopping 33.5 points over his last four games. The Timberwolves open a four-game week on Monday against the Bulls before facing the Hawks, Heat and Wizards on the road.

Porter shook off a sluggish start to knock down all five of his second half shot attempts, including a trio of three-pointers, to finish with 18 points down the home stretch. The 27-year-old has been a consistent scoring threat this season, averaging 25.8 points, 7.4 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 0.8 steals and 0.2 blocks through 25 games. The Nets are 7-4 since the start of December and are looking like a potential playoff team.

Thomas practiced in full on Friday, and Nets coach Jordi Fernandez said that Thomas will be available to play against Minnesota. He didn’t say anything about how much Thomas will play, but after missing nearly two months with a soft-tissue injury, it’s safe to assume they will bring him along slowly. Terance Mann and Tyrese Martin will likely lose out on minutes with Thomas back in the rotation.

Thomas has been sidelined for nearly two months, and it seems he is inching closer to a return. Brooklyn’s next game is on Saturday against the Timberwolves, so there is a chance he is upgraded to questionable ahead of that game. With a hamstring injury, Thomas should be brought along slowly, which likely means he will be on a minutes restriction at first. However, he will eventually return to the starting lineup, which will likely push Terance Mann to the bench.

Though Gobert finished one point shy of a double-double, he was still able to have a productive fantasy night in what has been a strong season for him. Of course, Nikola Jokic’s monster night will take away from what Gobert did, but it was solid for fantasy managers before he fouled out in overtime. The former Defensive Player of the Year recorded double-digit rebounds for a seventh straight game and set a new season high for blocks.

Randle has cooled off after an excellent start to the year, but he’s certainly still capable of big scoring nights, as he proved in this game. This was his sixth 30-point game of the season, though it was his first since Nov. 19, and the other four came during Minnesota’s first eight games of the season. Randle had scored 25 points in the game before this, so he’ll look to carry this momentum into a matchup with the Nets on Saturday.

Edwards started this game off hot and ended the first quarter with 14 points. He cooled off after that until the fourth quarter. He scored 13 points over the final seven minutes, including a contested three-pointer from the corner to tie the game and force overtime. He helped Minnesota score the first nine points of overtime, but the game shifted Denver’s way after that. Edwards scored 11 points in the extra frame prior to an ejection that came after he disagreed with a pivotal call. Edwards matched his season high for scoring in this game it what will go down as a disappointing loss for the Wolves.

Gobert continued his dominance on the glass, extending his streak of games with at least 12 rebounds to six. Add in the defensive stats and percentages, and this was an excellent night for the veteran center. Over the last two weeks, Gobert has been close to a top-50 player in eight- and nine-cat formats. Continuing on that path would go a long way toward ensuring that Gobert’s season-long fantasy value aligns with his Yahoo! ADP (68).

While this wasn’t the first time that Randle has played against the Knicks since being traded before the start of last season, this was the first game in which he took over. The Timberwolves forward was outstanding in the fourth quarter, scoring 17 points on 6-of-8 shooting from the field.

The shorthanded Knicks failed to come up with an answer defensively for Edwards, whose 38 points were the most he’s scored since returning from the foot injury that sidelined him for three games.

While there are going to be moments when the Nets look to evaluate Nolan Traoré (five points, one rebound and two assists in 14 minutes) and Ben Saraf (DNP-CD) at the point, Dëmin has seemingly separated himself from his fellow rookies.
