After totaling 28 points on 9-of-25 shooting in Brooklyn’s first three games out of the All-Star break, Clowney snapped out of his mini-slump on Tuesday. He shot 4-of-5 from beyond the arc while also recording a stat line that only lacked an assist. With the Nets focused on strengthening their draft lottery odds, Clowney’s playing time should not be a concern the rest of the season.

Clowney, who scored 22 points in Monday’s win over the Bulls, is dealing with a sprained left ankle. The good news is that he’s listed as probable, so availability may not be an issue for the Nets forward. If Clowney can’t play on Wednesday, that could be a spot where Josh Minott gets to make his Nets’ debut as a reserve. Ziaire Williams, who has started games in the past, would figure more prominently in the rotation.

After scoring 18 points in Sunday’s win over the Wizards, Clowney recorded his first 20-point game since a January 16 win over the Bulls. The Nets’ forward/center has also made four three-pointers in consecutive games, the first time he’s done that this season. Brooklyn is clearly focused on ending the season with the best draft lottery odds possible, but fantasy managers should not be too concerned about Clowney’s minutes down the line.

Porter and Clowney are back after multi-game absences, with the former missing the last two games and the latter the previous five. Their returns push Terance Mann and Danny Wolf to the bench, with Traoré starting alongside Dëmin in the backcourt.

Both players received probable tags on Monday, so their availability isn’t surprising. Clowney will return from a five-game absence, and Williams from a three-gamer. Clowney and Williams are expected to handle their normal workloads.

Clowney has missed the last five games for Brooklyn, but he’s expected to return against Los Angeles. Nolan Traore and Danny Wolf have been starting recently with Clowney and Michael Porter Jr. (personal) out, but MPJ is not on the injury report, so Traore and Wolf should return to reserve role.

Due to a sprained lower back, Clowney will miss a fifth consecutive game on Sunday. Terance Mann has been the replacement, and that’s unlikely to change on Sunday. There’s no need to consider streaming Mann; there should be better options on the waiver wire on a 10-game day.

Friday’s game will be the fourth that Clowney has missed, with the Nets citing back injury management as the reason. Terance Mann has moved into the starting lineup, but the production has not been good enough to merit being streamed in most leagues.

Thursday’s game will be the third that Clowney has missed due to back injury management. Terance Mann has moved into the starting lineup, but he’s offered limited fantasy value in that role. Even with the Nets missing multiple rotation players, there should be better streaming options on the waiver wire.

Clowney did not play in Sunday’s blowout loss to the Clippers, with Terance Mann moving into the starting lineup. Mann should retain that role in Phoenix, but fantasy managers should not consider him a must-stream player.

Clowney was initially doubtful for Sunday’s game, so his absence is unsurprising. Danny Wolf and Jalen Wilson should see their playing time increase. While Wolf has more starts under his belt this season, he’s yet to start alongside Michael Porter Jr., so he may be consigned to a bench role on Sunday.

Clowney played 43 of a possible 58 minutes in Friday’s double-overtime loss to the Celtics. If he can’t play on Sunday, that would likely free up additional minutes for Danny Wolf, and Jalen Wilson could enter the rotation after picking up a DNP-CD on Friday.

Clowney had just six points in 31 minutes in Wednesday’s loss to the Pelicans, but bounced back in a big way against the Bulls on Friday. The 21-year-old power forward got off to a great start with 12 points and seven rebounds in the first half. He finished with 23 points and 11 rebounds to secure his first double-double this season. Clowney has provided 10th-round per game value over the last two weeks, but it’s games like Friday where he flashes high-ceiling potential that make him a more interesting player in dynasty formats.

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.

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.

Clowney played a key role on both ends of the floor for Brooklyn in this one as he poured in eight and 11 points in the first and third quarters, respectively, to help them snap a three-game losing streak. The 21-year-old playmaking forward had little trouble exploiting Denver’s lack of interior defenders and also went 4-of-6 from beyond the arc. He’s been too hit-or-miss to emerge as a reliable fantasy option in shallow leagues, but he’s shown some flashes of big-time all-around upside.

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.

Clowney helped Brooklyn ice the contest with a strong second half performance, scoring a team-high 16 points over the final two quarters, knocking down 4-of-6 shots from the floor, including 3-of-5 from three-point range. The 21-year-old has shown some flashes of scoring upside and is also capable of chipping in a handful of blocks as well, averaging 13.4 points, 4.0 rebounds, 1.9 assists, 0.6 steals and 0.9 blocks through 27 games this season.

Clowney, who drained 4-of-8 from downtown, was at the epicenter of Brooklyn’s unrelenting three-point barrage as they went 19-of-43 to shoot a staggering 44.2 percent as a team from long range. Their entire starting lineup reached double figures and they raced out to a commanding 17-point halftime lead and extended that advantage to nearly 30 points by the outset of the fourth quarter. Amazingly, Clowney missed all five of his shots from inside the arc. The 21-year-old has been hot-and-cold this season from a fantasy standpoint, but he’s in the midst of a strong stretch over the past two weeks. The Nets are back in action on Thursday when they host the Heat before closing out a two-game week with a home tilt against the Raptors.

Clowney is officially good to go after initially being listed as probable. He’s scored at least 20 points in two straight games, and the matchup lends itself toward Clowney extending that streak to three. Those who have him rostered must ensure he’s in their lineups.

Clowney is expected to suit up, though he is dealing with back soreness. He has scored at least 20 points in two straight games and will look to stay hot against a porous Pelicans defense.

While his season-long fantasy value remains relatively low, now would be a good time to hop onto the Clowney bandwagon if he’s sitting on your league’s waiver wire. Over the past two weeks, the Nets forward/center has provided fourth-round value in eight-cat formats, and he’s scored at least 16 points in seven of his last eight games. Clowney is rostered in 30 percent of Yahoo! leagues, so he’s certainly available in some 12-team formats. Now would be a good time to change that.

Clowney had at least six three-pointers for the second time in his last five games. The 21-year-old power forward hasn’t shown enough consistency as a scorer yet and doesn’t contribute much in the other categories. Still, Clowney can be an option in deeper formats because of his flashes of excellence and secure playing time.

After ripping off a streak of eight straight games in double figures, Clowney put up a dud in Saturday’s loss to the Bucks. He got back on track on Monday, shooting 66.7 percent from the field and 50 percent from beyond the arc in Brooklyn’s win over the Hornets. While he remains ranked outside the top-200 in nine-cat formats, Clowney’s status as a starter makes him worth a look in deeper leagues. And that should remain the case throughout the season.

Clowney should be good to go and will occupy his typical spot in the starting lineup. He has been starting for most of November, but he has stepped up recently, averaging 17.8 points, 1.3 blocks and 3.0 triples over the past two weeks.

The bad news for fantasy managers who have Clowney rostered is that he shot the ball poorly on Friday. The good news is that he recorded a complete stat line, which is good for the overall value in category leagues. For the season, the third-year forward remains ranked just outside the top-200 in nine-cat formats, due mainly to his low field-goal percentage. However, Clowney has been a sixth-round player over the past two weeks. Despite Friday’s poor shooting, he’s trending in the right direction.

Clowney didn’t record any defensive stats in Monday’s defeat, but the third-year forward/center had the best offensive night of his NBA career. Not only did Clowney record career-highs in points and three-pointers, but he also finished with his first 30-point game. While his season-long value places him just outside the top-200 in nine-cat formats, Clowney has been close to a top-50 player over the last two weeks. Rostered in 20 percent of Yahoo! leagues, he’s worth a look in more 14-team leagues due to the Nets’ status as a rebuilding team.

It doesn’t totally show up on the stat sheet, but Clowney was a real X-factor in this contest as he relentlessly attacked the rim early on, finishing the first half with 14 points while also blocking three shots on the defensive end of the floor. He cooled off a bit in the second half but led the Nets in minutes over the final two quarters. He would’ve had an even bigger night offensively had he not gone ice-cold from three-point range, hitting just three of 11 attempts from distance.

Clowney has been an effective scoring option as a starter for the Nets, and that trend continued in this game. He has started the last six games for Brooklyn and has scored in double figures in five of those. This was a subpar shooting performance from him, with half his points coming from the free throw line and the other half coming from beyond the arc. Still, his starting spot feels safe, and he has an intriguing matchup coming up on Sunday to close out the week.

Clowney set a new season-high in points for the third consecutive game on Friday, once again using the three-point shot to do so. A huge 13-point opening quarter set Clowney up for the high-scoring performance, but his six points on 1-of-6 shooting the rest of the way stopped the young forward from seeing an even greater scoring total. Still, he was productive against the Pistons and continues to perform well for the Nets this season.
