Injured during Friday’s loss to the Lakers, Minott was held out of Sunday’s win over the Kings. While productive, Minott’s playing time has not been consistent as the Nets play out the string, making him challenging to rely on in fantasy leagues.

Camara led the Trail Blazers in scoring in the win over the Wizards on Sunday. The 25-year-old small forward only played 28 minutes with the Trail Blazers leading by so much. He was coming off a career-high 35 point game earlier in the week. Camara would be an interesting waiver wire addition, but the Trail Blazers play just twice in Week 23.

Henderson moved into the starting lineup Sunday with Jerami Grant (calf) out and was excellent. The 22-year-old point guard produced big numbers in just 25 minutes. It was a nice game, but his fantasy ceiling is still fairly low depending on Grant’s health.

Avdija returned from a back injury earlier this month and his play has picked up as of late. The 25-year-old small forward has had at least 17 points in his last 12 consecutive games, a stretch where his team is 8-4. Turnovers continue to be the lone issue for Avdija as he’s had at least four turnovers in each of his last three games. The Trail Blazers only have two games upcoming in Week 23, starting with a matchup against the Clippers on Tuesday.

Powell, who entered Sunday shooting 28.5 percent from three, made his first four attempts on Sunday. That’s an area where he will need to become more consistent in time, and the performance against the Kings was a step in the right direction. Powell played 28 minutes on Sunday, and he should continue to take on that level of workload moving forward. If so, the rookie wing may have some deep-league value in the Nets’ three-game Week 23.

Lines like the one Clowney recorded on Sunday will satisfy most fantasy managers, outside of the free-throw percentage. However, while the third-year forward/center finished with a complete stat line, he only played 20 minutes. That workload limits Clowney’s upside and may cause some concern among fantasy managers despite the Nets playing three games in Week 23.

Making sense of which Nets reserves will figure prominently in Jordi Fernandez’s rotation on any given night is a near-impossible task. After totaling 15 minutes in losses to the Kings and Trail Blazers, Agbaji played 21 minutes in Friday’s loss to the Lakers. On Sunday, he earned 25 minutes and matched his season-high with 18 points. Hopefully, Agbaji’s performance was good enough to earn him more rotation minutes in Week 23, but that isn’t guaranteed.

Traoré and the Nets ended their 10-game losing streak impressively, beating the Kings by a 116-99 final score. After totaling nine points on 4-of-23 shooting in the final two games of the Nets’ road trip, the rookie guard rebounded nicely on Sunday. Traoré scored 17 points in both of the Nets’ games against the Kings this season, and the assist production on Sunday was solid. Brooklyn plays three games in Week 23, starting with the Hornets on Tuesday.

Added to the Nets’ injury report early Sunday afternoon, Wilson is now officially out.

While Krejčí remaining out with a left calf contusion does not affect fantasy basketball, Grant’s calf strain does.

While Minott scored a team-high 18 points in Friday’s loss to the Lakers, he took a hard fall while converting a layup during the fourth quarter.

However, the minutes for Minott and Johnson have been inconsistent, making both risky options for fantasy managers.

While Traoré provided good value in the assist and steal categories, he was terribly inefficient against the Lakers. In addition to shooting 4-of-14 from the field, the rookie was responsible for six turnovers in 26 minutes. Ben Saraf dropped into the backup point guard role after starting the last time out, finishing with 10 points, three rebounds, two assists and one steal in 22 minutes. Sunday’s game against the Kings is not part of a back-to-back, which may keep Traoré in the starting lineup. However, if he sits, Saraf will be worth streaming in deep leagues.

Claxton shot 80 percent from the field and was solid on the glass, providing good value in those categories. However, he logged 23 minutes and has not played 30 or more minutes in a game since February 24. Given where the Nets are in the standings, that’s unlikely to change between now and the end of the regular season. While Claxton is not a player who should be dropped in all leagues, fantasy managers in 12-team formats who need more production for Sunday’s action need to seek alternatives.

It is anyone’s guess which reserve frontcourt player will play the most minutes for the Nets on any given night. Against the Lakers, it was Minott, who was effective in 26 minutes on the floor. Chaney Johnson (two points, two rebounds and two assists), who’s had his moments recently, played 14 minutes. In theory, Minott’s superior night should earn him more minutes on Sunday when the Nets host the Kings, but that hasn’t been the case. Unless you’re competing in a 30-deep league, Minott and Johnson are too risky to roster.

Williams has started each of the Nets’ last five games, and he’s scored at least 16 points in each. Over the past week, he has provided sixth-round value in eight-cat formats. As long as Williams is in the starting lineup, he’s capable of providing the value needed to be an impactful addition during the silly season. The Nets play once more in Week 22, on Sunday against the Kings, which would be a good spot to stream Williams if he’s available.

Grant injured his right calf during the second half of Friday’s defeat, and there is some concern that he’ll miss time. Following the game, acting head coach Thiago Splitter said Grant felt a pop in his calf. He’ll be evaluated further on Saturday, and Sunday’s game against the Wizards could be off the board for Grant, at a minimum. If he misses time, Scoot Henderson (9/2/3/3 with one three-pointer) would have added importance to the Trail Blazers, even if he continues to come off the bench.

Avdjia did everything but make a three-pointer on Friday, helping compensate for another high-turnover night. The Trail Blazers’ playmaker was responsible for five turnovers against the Mavericks, and he’s been responsible for at least three in each of his last ten appearances. Given how much Avdija has the ball in his hands, the turnovers are somewhat understandable. And the task would become more difficult if Jerami Grant (calf) has to miss time.

Holiday finished Friday’s defeat with his first 20-point game in two weeks, with his scoring output having decreased during the second half of March. After scoring 20 or more in five of Portland’s first six games of the month, the veteran guard was limited to 15 or fewer in seven straight before Friday. With Jerami Grant leaving Friday’s game with a calf injury, the Trail Blazers may need more offensive production from Holiday going forward, which could raise his ceiling. But only if he can take advantage.

Saraf played 34 minutes on Wednesday and showcased his ability to affect the game as both a passer and scorer. He was one of Brooklyn’s top scorers on the night, as he used the three-point shot to his advantage. And not only did he lead the Nets in assists, but he also led all players in Wednesday’s contest in that category. Saraf has come on strong over the stretch of his rookie season and continues to put up quality numbers for a Nets team that is far from playoff contention.

Wilson recorded his third straight double-digit scoring performance on Wednesday, largely thanks to a combination of two-point scoring and free-throw production.

However, he’s not someone fantasy managers should consider rostering.

Williams impressed on both ends of the floor in his 24 minutes of game action. Offensively, he shot the ball well from the field and produced at the charity stripe to end with a team-high in points. Yet, his activity on the defensive end is what really yielded some eye-popping numbers, specifically, how his disruptiveness led to him collecting over one-third of the team’s 17 steals. Williams has now tallied at least 16 points in four straight games and multiple steals in three consecutive games. He’s rarely playing more than half the game on most nights recently, but could be a useful streaming option in fantasy leagues.

Henderson was outstanding on Wednesday, leading the Trail Blazers in scoring while also not committing a turnover. His role keeps the former lottery pick’s fantasy ceiling relatively low, but he has provided 11th-round value in eight-cat formats over the past two weeks.

Back in the lineup after sitting out the last two games, Grant shot 4-of-10 from beyond the arc in 24 minutes. The veteran forward did not offer much outside of the points and three-pointers, but he has provided ninth-round value in eight-cat formats since the All-Star break. Games against the Mavericks and Wizards to end Week 22 will give Grant two more opportunities against lottery-bound teams to put up numbers that will benefit fantasy managers.

Despite being limited to 25 minutes due to the game getting out of hand, Clingan recorded another excellent stat line on Wednesday.

Portland finishes Week 22 with games against Dallas and Washington, which is excellent for those rostering Clingan.

Avdija and the Trail Blazers took care of business on Wednesday, scoring 71 first-half points and winning by a 130-99 final score.

Clingan’s seven blocks were a season-high, and he only needed 24 minutes to hit that number. Portland winning in a rout likely cost the second-year center a new career-high in blocks, but fantasy managers will be satisfied with the production in that category as well as the 15 rebounds. Portland’s final three games of Week 22 are against the Bucks, Mavericks and Wizards; don’t be surprised if Clingan puts up a few more solid stat lines.
