Williams and Wilson are back, with the former likely returning to the starting lineup. If so, Maxwell Lewis is most likely headed to the bench. Williams is worth rostering in deep leagues, especially with Cameron Johnson unavailable. As for Wilson, there may be too many players in the mix for rotation minutes for him to be impactful in fantasy leagues.

Claxton and Russell’s absences open up two spots in the Nets’ starting lineup for Sunday’s game. Drew Timme is a possible replacement for the former, while Tyrese Martin could be asked to fill in for the latter. Whoever starts will be worth streaming in deep leagues, even with Sunday’s schedule consisting of 11 games.

While Vukcevic has not missed a game due to his injury, Holmes was held out of Thursday’s loss to the Magic. His absence led to more playing time for fellow reserve Anthony Gill, who has not been productive enough to merit being streamed in most fantasy leagues. Alexandre Sarr plays the lion’s share of the minutes at center, limiting the backups’ fantasy value.

The only other update that head coach Jordi Fernandez provided was that they haven’t made a decision on D’Angelo Russell’s status for their matchup with Toronto, though he is still dealing with soreness in his ankle. Depending on that statuses of Jalen Wilson and Ziaire Williams, Trendon Watford and Maxwell Lewis could be in line for another starting nod.

Claxton got last Saturday off for rest before returning Monday against the Mavericks, though he had just six points in 27 minutes. The 25-year-old center had a much better effort against the Timberwolves Thursday as he scored 18 points on 9-of-10 shooting from the field. Claxton started and played 24 minutes, though Drew Timme came off the bench and also played 24 minutes. Claxton should continue to start when available, but it appears he’s ceding some minutes to Timme.

Russell missed last Saturday’s game with an ankle injury but had a nice game in his return against the Mavericks on Monday with 18 points, five rebounds and 11 assists. The 29-year-old point guard had a terrible game against the Timberwolves Thursday. Seemingly out of nowhere, Russell was held without points as he missed all six of his field goal attempts. He played just 13 minutes, which had to do with his effectiveness and not his ankle injury. Russell will look to bounce back Sunday against the Raptors.

Johnson has now started four games in a row for the Wizards. The 20-year-old shooting guard played 29 minutes with Jordan Poole and Khris Middleton sidelined Thursday. The opportunity is there for Johnson right now, even though he fell mostly flat with an 11-point game against the Magic.

Carrington went off for a career-high 32 points against the Magic Thursday. The 19-year-old rookie had only one previous game with at least 20 points, which came when he scored 23 points on February 8 against the Hawks. Carrington took full advantage of Jordan Poole and Khris Middleton being out of the lineup and was a great streaming option on a night with only six games across the league.

Holmes left Wednesday’s game against the Wizards with a shoulder injury and didn’t return. He was initially ruled doubtful for Thursday and subsequently ruled out. Anthony Gil (hip) could see additional minutes if he’s available and if not JT Thor would be the next man up.

Brooklyn will be incredibly shorthanded on the wing with Wilson joining Cameron Johnson and Ziaire Williams on the sidelines for Thursday’s game. Maxwell Lewis and Trendon Watford should be in line to take on significant roles and potentially move into the starting unit. They’re worth considering as streaming options based on the opportunity to play big minutes on a day with only six games.

No surprise here as Russell was initially listed as probable with right ankle soreness. The 29-year-old point guard missed last Saturday’s game against the Wizards, but returned Monday against the Mavericks and had a double-double. He appears to be mostly over the ankle issue at this point.

Smart did not play in Wednesday’s win over the Kings, as the Wizards relied mainly on Jordan Poole, Bub Carrington and AJ Johnson on the perimeter. Poole is unavailable for Thursday’s game, so rotation minutes will be available to Smart. However, fantasy managers should not expect to see him playing starters’ minutes; he has not surpassed 24 minutes in any of his appearances since being acquired from the Grizzlies in February.

Holmes injured his shoulder during the first half of Wednesday’s win over the Kings, with the Wizards ruling him out during the third quarter. His absence freed up additional playing time for Gill, who logged 31 minutes off the bench. If both are unable to play, JT Thor would figure more prominently in the bench rotation, but he is not worth streaming in most leagues.

Middleton and George remain out for another game, with Middleton missing a fourth straight and George’s unfortunate streak extended to six straight. Justin Champagnie and AJ Johnson should stay in the starting lineup, with Champagnie being the preferred streaming option since he has a safer fantasy floor. Also, Colby Jones should play rotation minutes after missing Wednesday’s win over the Kings.

Jones is back after sitting out Wednesday’s win over the Kings. With Jordan Poole, Khris Middleton and Kyshawn George all out of the Wizards’ lineup, the second-year guard should be in the rotation on Thursday.

Thursday’s game is the second in as many nights for the Wizards, so Poole will not play. His absence means even more time on the ball for Bub Carrington and AJ Johnson, which raises the fantasy ceilings of both rookies. And on a six-game night, fantasy managers should not hesitate to stream either, although Carrington should be the priority add.

While his fantasy ceiling is limited due to backing up Alexandre Sarr, Vukcevic has put together some solid performances over the past two weeks. He’s reached double figures in seven of his last 10 games, providing 12th-round value in eight-cat formats. Sarr (15/4/1/1/1 with three three-pointers in 26 minutes) will remain the priority since he was Washington’s lottery pick, but Vukcevic is worth a look in deep leagues, especially as more teams shut down key players as the regular season concludes.

Johnson has started Washington’s last three games, logging at least 37 minutes in each appearance. And if Khris Middleton and Marcus Smart remain out, there’s no reason to believe the rookie’s playing time will decrease. As one would expect from a rookie, Johnson’s production has been inconsistent, but he’s scored 19 points or more in two of his last three appearances. He’s only shot 38.6 percent from the field over the past week, so fantasy managers have mostly stayed away. However, Thursday’s game against the Magic could be a good one to gamble on Johnson, as that is one of the lighter game days of Week 22.

After struggling in 38 minutes on the floor in Monday’s blowout loss to the Heat, Carrington was better against the Kings. Shooting just under 50 percent from the field, the rookie’s 19 points were the most in a game for him since February 8. Over the past two weeks, Carrington has been ranked just outside the top 150 in eight-cat formats, as shooting 36.7 percent from the field has not done him any favors. For managers who can afford to take a hit in that category, Carrington playing starters’ minutes improves his chances of having another night like Wednesday before the season ends.

With the Wizards prioritizing their younger players, and rightfully so, Poole has only surpassed 25 minutes four times in his last 10 appearances. For fantasy managers, that makes it paramount that he takes advantage of the opportunities he does get, which was the case against the Kings. Poole was efficient in scoring his 24 points, shooting over 50 percent from the field, and not committing a turnover. Over the past two weeks, he has offered fourth-round value in eight- and nine-cat formats. Washington hosts Orlando on Thursday before closing out its Week 22 slate on Sunday in Boston.

Holmes suffered a right shoulder contusion during the first half of Wednesday’s game. While he did return to the bench area after spending some time in the locker room, the veteran forward/center was shut down for the rest of the night during the third quarter. Holmes’ absence has resulted in more playing time for Anthony Gill, who played 19 minutes through the first three quarters.

Wilson started Monday’s win over the Mavericks, filling in for the injured Cameron Johnson and logging 29 minutes. With Johnson already out for Thursday’s game, the Nets could be without two rotation forwards. Maxwell Lewis and Trendon Watford are two players whose minutes would increase if Wilson does not play. Watford offers a slightly higher fantasy ceiling, but both players would be worth streaming in deep leagues.

Johnson has been playing a significant role since December, but Monday’s performance was one of his best in a while. This was his highest-scoring night since he had 25 points on February 5, and it was only his third game with at least 20 points in March. The 23-year-old has shown some flashes of upside throughout the season, and he should continue to play a significant role for the rest of this season. However, it remains to be seen if he has the potential to be more than the beneficiary of a tanking team in Brooklyn.

After scoring 20 points as a starter on Saturday, Martin was pushed to the bench for Monday’s game. However, that didn’t stop Martin from contributing in the box score. He has averaged 15.5 points, 5.5 rebounds, 4.5 assists and three triples over Brooklyn’s last two games, which have both been wins. Martin, who is rostered in just two percent of Yahoo! leagues, should continue to provide value over the final two weeks of the season, though it may come inconsistently.

After missing Saturday’s game against Washington with the ankle injury that has had him in and out of the lineup often recently, Russell was back in the lineup and had one of his best games since January. This was his first double-double since January 21 and his most assists in a game since he had 12 on January 2, which was his second game during this stint with the Nets. Russell’s availability will continue to be a headache, but this was a solid performance for the veteran.

Outside of Jordan Poole, who scored a game-high 35 points, Vukcevic was the only Wizard to score in double figures on Monday. That is something he has done in seven of his last 10 appearances, though his inconsistent role has made him a difficult player to trust. Vukcevic is only 22 years old and has shown plenty of flashes over the past two seasons that should encourage dynasty managers that have him stashed. Washington has three more games this week, including a back-to-back on Wednesday and Thursday.

Simply put, Poole had no help in Monday’s game. The rest of the starting unit combined to score 29 points in the blowout loss. Poole got off to a quick start and score Washington’s first nine points of the game, but the score got out of hand quickly. The good news is that Poole was able to play 29 minutes after playing less than 25 minutes in four consecutive games. That isn’t something managers should expect to continue, since Washington hasn’t been shy about limiting his minutes to give their young players more minutes.

Yikes. March has been an excellent month for the rookie, but Sarr really struggled in his final game of the month. Field goal percentage hasn’t been a strong category for Sarr, but this performance was one of his worst and can only be rivaled by his 1-of-12 night in January. The rookie has shown plenty of upside in multiple categories, and he was still able to provide some defensive stats in this game. Still, the 19-year-old still has plenty of work to do before he becomes a fantasy star.
