Clowney was tasked with serving as Brooklyn’s primary offensive threat with Michael Porter Jr. sitting out for load management purposes and Cam Thomas limited due to a hamstring issue. He matched a season-high with 17 shot attempts and shot just 24 percent from the floor, including a ghastly 4-of-15 from three-point range. There are better shooting days in the forecast for the 21-year-old forward in the future since he’s been right around 33 percent for his career from beyond the arc. The Nets are in line for a busy week with four games on tap including matchups against the Mavericks and Pelicans before a pair against the Bulls.

Martin saw an uptick in creation possessions as the Nets leaned on him from a scoring standpoint with Cam Thomas still dealing with a hamstring issue and Michael Porter Jr. sitting out for load management purposes. The 26-year-old guard was outstanding from distance in this one, knocking down 5-of-7 attempts from beyond the arc, fueling his highest single-game scoring output since a 26-point explosion back on November 23. There are a ton of cooks in the kitchen in Brooklyn, but Martin has shown he can be a productive scorer when given a chance.

After scoring 21 points in a January 7 game against the Hawks, Poole went scoreless in a win over the Wizards two nights later. He was far more involved offensively on Sunday, shooting 6-of-8 from beyond the arc. While his place within the rotation makes Poole a player worth holding onto despite coming off the bench, the inconsistency can be frustrating. The Pelicans play four games in Week 13, starting with the Nuggets on Tuesday.

Over the past two weeks, Williamson has been ranked just outside the top-100 in eight- and nine-cat formats. While that production is nowhere near his Yahoo! ADP (42), it represents an improvement when compared to how Zion began the season. The Pelicans begin a four-game Week 13 with a back-to-back, so it’s possible that Williamson only plays three games.

Murphy has scored at least 21 points in four straight games, but his run of games with at least 35 ended at two on Sunday. The Pelicans’ forward has been consistently excellent in terms of fantasy value, and that shouldn’t change anytime soon as long as he’s healthy. The Pelicans play four games in Week 13, starting with the Nuggets on Tuesday.

Bey is set to miss his sixth game in a row with a right hip flexor strain. With Trey Murphy and Zion Williamson back in the starting lineup anyway, Bey will likely be looking at a bench role whenever he returns.

Williams won’t be available for Sunday’s game due to an illness, meaning he’ll miss out on a shot at extended minutes with Michael Porter Jr. (rest) also sidelined. Cam Thomas’ minutes have been limited since his return from a hamstring injury, but his usage may increase even if the playing time doesn’t.

Due to left knee injury management, Powell will sit out the first of two games that Memphis will play in as many days. His absence does not affect fantasy basketball, but there may be additional minutes available for fellow rookie Nolan Traoré.

Sunday’s game is the first of two in as many days for the Nets, so Porter getting a night off for rest is unsurprising. Danny Wolf moved into the starting lineup the last time that MPJ missed a game, so fantasy managers should anticipate the same on Sunday. Wolf is worth holding onto in deep leagues, as the Nets have another back-to-back during Week 13.

Alvarado will miss a second straight game, which has allowed Jeremiah Fears to take on extra minutes as the starting point guard. Jordan Poole is filling out the backup minutes, but he was held scoreless in 12 minutes in their last game.

Jones will miss a third straight game. Bryce McGowens started in his place on Friday but was unproductive in 29 minutes. However, he was better in the previous game as a reserve, so he’ll still hold some streaming value with Jones out.

Bey is expected to miss a sixth straight game. Trey Murphy (back) returned to the lineup for Friday’s game, so he filled the open starting spot left by Bey. Zion Williamson returned to the starting lineup when Bey first was sidelined, and he will likely remain in that role even after Bey returns.

On the heels of a sublime 42-point performance against the Lakers earlier this week, Murphy stayed sizzling-hot with his sixth 30-point effort to help the Pelicans snap a nine-game losing streak dating back to December 23. Murphy and teammate Zion Williamson combined for 34 first-half points and 66 on the night overall as the Wizards seemed to have zero answers defensively. The 25-year-old scoring forward erupted for 15 first-half points on 5-of-12 shooting, including 4-of-9 from three-point range, and finished the night 7-of-16 from long range. He’s delivered first-round fantasy value this season, averaging 21.7 points, 6.2 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 1.6 steals and 0.2 blocks through 36 games. The Pelicans return to action on Sunday with a road matchup against the Magic.

Williamson went 8-of-9 from the floor to post a game-high 19 first-half points. The polarizing 25-year-old force and teammate Trey Murphy combined for a whopping 66 points in an eventual one-sided victory. It would’ve been an even bigger scoring night had he not missed six of his 13 free-throw attempts. He’s averaging 25 points over his last eight games but doesn’t offer much else from a fantasy perspective besides scoring upside.

Queen’s phenomenal rookie campaign continued with his second triple-double performance as he posted double-digit boards for the third straight contest. The 21-year-old big man remains a work in progress but he’s shown flashes of big-time fantasy potential thanks to his all-around skillset.

Murphy is back in the lineup after sitting out Wednesday’s loss to the Hawks, pushing Karlo Matković to the bench. The other change is McGowens, who will start ahead of Jordan Poole. His offensive ceiling is limited, but McGowens is a better defender than Poole.

MPJ will be good to go after initially being listed as probable for this game. Soreness in his right knee won’t keep him sidelined, and he’ll look to stay hot after scoring 34 points against the Magic on Wednesday.

Absent from the initial injury report released by the Nets, Porter is considered probable to play on Friday. When MPJ missed Brooklyn’s first two games of 2026, rookie Danny Wolf was moved into the starting lineup. That could be the case if Porter’s status is downgraded on Friday.

One night removed from scoring a career-high 42 points, Murphy did not play in Wednesday’s loss to the Hawks. Karlo Matković moved into the starting lineup, but Bryce McGowens replaced him to begin the second half. Both players will lose out on minutes if Murphy returns on Friday.

Jones did not play in Wednesday’s loss to the Hawks, which was the Pelicans’ second game in as many nights. With the doubtful tag, he appears on track to miss a second consecutive game. Jordan Poole may remain in the starting lineup if Jones sits, raising his fantasy ceiling.

Friday’s game will be the fifth that Bey has missed with a strained right hip flexor. Karlo Matković moved into the starting lineup for Wednesday’s loss to the Hawks, but the Pelicans were also without Trey Murphy and Herb Jones. If Murphy can play against the Wizards, Matković will likely be headed to the bench.

Alvarado appeared to tweak something during Tuesday’s loss to the Lakers, but he was still on the floor in crunch time. The point guard’s sore oblique will keep him out for at least one game, likely resulting in more minutes at point guard for Jordan Poole. Jordan Hawkins could enter the rotation, but there’s no need to stream him.

McGowens was able to take on a larger role with both Trey Murphy (back) and Herb Jones (ankle) sidelined. He didn’t get the chance to start, but he played a season-high 37 minutes off the bench. He didn’t contribute much in other categories, but if Murphy and Jones remain out in Washington on Friday, McGowens will hold some streaming upside in deeper leagues.

Zion was held to just 15 points against the Lakers on Tuesday, and while he was more productive in this game, he still wasn’t able to contribute enough to end this losing streak. Williamson scored at least 30 points in three straight games when he returned to the starting lineup, but in the three games since then, he has averaged 16.3 points. Still, he’s healthy and available, and he has been playing in back-to-backs, which is great to see from him.

Clowney’s final stat line was an interesting one. Inefficient shooting, especially from beyond the arc, where he shot 0-of-5, kept him from putting many points on the board. Yet, he tied season-highs in assists and steals along the way to provide some solid fantasy production. His start to 2026 has been a rough one from a three-point shooting standpoint — Clowney is now without a three-pointer in three of the four games he’s appeared in. Once he regains his rhythm, the scoring production should return.

Demin stole the show late with a pair of three-pointers, including one that looked to be the go-ahead basket in overtime before Paolo Banchero delivered the actual game-winning triple just moments later. Demin also led his team in assists and has now scored in double figures in eight of his last nine appearances. As the rookie gets more games under his belt, he continues to impresss. He could be someone worth monitoring in fantasy leagues as the season goes on.

With Trey Murphy and Herb Jones sidelined against Atlanta, Poole returned to the starting lineup. He wasn’t efficient as a scorer, but he was able to pour in the points, mostly from beyond the arc, and contribute defensively. This came after he was held scoreless against the Lakers on Tuesday. Poole is one of the most volatile players in the league, but if he is able to start again in his return to Washington on Friday, he may be able to have another big scoring night.

After being stuck in the twenties for six straight games, Porter Jr. utilized eight three-pointers to help him land his first 30-point game in nearly a month. He was efficient inside the arc as well and capitalized on his only couple of free-throw attempts, while also coming up big on the defensive end with a handful of steals. Porter Jr. continues to produce at a high level from a fantasy basketball standpoint in his first season with the Nets, and will look to keep things rolling against the Clippers on Friday.

While Nic Claxton (personal) is available, his minutes restriction keeps Sharpe in the starting lineup for another game. The other change is Williams, who steps in for Terance Mann. While he isn’t a must-roster player, Williams has been more productive than Mann recently.

The Pelicans won’t have Trey Murphy or Herb Jones for Wednesday’s game, opening up two spots in the starting lineup. Poole and Matković will fill the resulting voids. While the former is already rostered in most leagues, the latter is worth streaming in deeper formats.
