Mann is good to go after sitting out Thursday’s loss to the Rockets. Nic Claxton is out for personal reasons, so he should slide back into the starting lineup easily.

Mann is expected to be back after a one-game absence. Nic Claxton (personal) has been ruled out for this game, so Mann should fill out that starting spot, with Noah Clowney and Danny Wolf shifting down to fill the center minutes.

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.

Mann won’t bring much to the table as a scorer, but the Nets starting a rookie point guard (Egor Dëmin) opens the door for him to occasionally have a night like he did on Friday. The seven assists matched Mann’s season-high, and fantasy managers also received solid value in steals and percentages. However, he is still ranked well outside the top-200 in eight-cat formats, so there’s no need to take the plunge following Friday’s performance. Dëmin only played 18 minutes in Dallas, finishing with three points (1-of-7 FGs), one rebound, one assist, two steals and one three-pointer.

Mann is back after missing Brooklyn’s last two games. He’ll fill the void left by Michael Porter Jr., who is sitting out due to lower back injury management. The Nets’ other four starters are unchanged.

Mann, who has missed Brooklyn’s last two games, should return to his usual place in the starting lineup. While Michael Porter Jr.'s absence frees up usage for multiple players, Mann has not been the kind of player capable of going off for a big scoring night. He’s worth a look in deep leagues, but that’s about it.

Mann missed games on Monday and Wednesday while battling a rib injury, but is likely to return to the court on Thursday. That would bump Tyrese Martin out of the rotation and should limit Drake Powell’s minutes as well.

Mann missed Monday’s game, which allowed Tyrese Martin to log 19 minutes as a starter in his stead. However, Drake Powell played 24 minutes off the bench and was more productive in the box score. Powell is likely only worth streaming in deeper leagues, but he should see the biggest boost with Mann out.

Mann played through this injury on Saturday, but it will cost him at least one game. In his absence, Drake Powell, Tyrese Martin and Jalen Wilson are all candidates to see increased playing time, though there is no clear add.

Mann was able to play through this rib injury on Saturday, but he has landed back on the injury report. If he’s unavailable, rookie Drake Powell could get the first start of his career, though Tyrese Martin and Jalen Wilson will be candidates to start as well.

Mann was upgraded to probable shortly before this update and has now officially been cleared to play. He finished with 14 points and six assists on Friday and should continue to play a significant role for the Nets.

Listed as questionable on the initial injury report, Mann is trending toward being available for Saturday’s game. He’ll be in the starting lineup if available, but the veteran wing has provided minimal value in most redraft leagues. If Mann can’t play, Drake Powell may be the player who benefits the most.

Mann is dealing with right rib soreness. The 29-year-old shooting guard had 14 points, six assists and four rebounds against the 76ers on Friday. Mann is available in most fantasy leagues due to his inconsistent play, but his role is stable for the time being.

Mann is rostered in only three percent of Yahoo! leagues, and with good reason. While he did record a solid line against the 76ers, his inconsistency makes him difficult to trust in most fantasy formats. However, it appears that he’s a lock in the starting lineup for the foreseeable future, especially as first-round pick Drake Powell (4/1/1 in 21 minutes) also has his bouts with inconsistency. There may come a point later in the season when the roles reverse, but we aren’t there yet.

Mann has looked great to start the year with Brooklyn, and he’ll look to keep the positive momentum going against Detroit. Powell has seen just 12 minutes across two appearances, so his availability won’t impact Brooklyn’s rotation.

Mann is dealing with a shoulder injury, but that shouldn’t impact his availability against Detroit. He’s enjoying the most productive season of his career and is locked into a starting role, and he’ll look to stay hot against the Pistons with Cam Thomas (hamstring) out.

With Michael Porter Jr. bumping Tyrese Martin out of the starting lineup after missing Monday’s game for personal reasons, Mann was effectively the starting point guard on Wednesday. He played well, shooting just under 50 percent from the field and sharing the team lead in assists with Nic Claxton. For years, Mann has been a player some fantasy managers believed could provide value with the right opportunity. Brooklyn may be it, as he has been a top-100 player in nine-cat formats. Rostered in 12 percent of Yahoo! leagues, Mann will be worth a look if Cam Thomas (hamstring) can’t play in Friday’s game against the Pistons.

Mann was a late addition to the injury report, but he’ll be able to suit up despite an illness. He’ll occupy his typical spot in the starting unit, which means there won’t be an opportunity for Jalen Wilson or Tyrese Martin to slide into the opening group.

Mann is a late addition to the injury report, and there is a chance he doesn’t suit up against Philadelphia. That would open up a spot in the starting lineup, which will likely be filled by Jalen Wilson or Tyrese Martin. Either would have limited streaming appeal as a starter.

There will be growing pains with the Nets using three of their five first-round picks in June’s draft on lead guards (Ben Saraf, Egor Dëmin and Nolan Traoré). However, that also means some of the team’s more experienced players may have opportunities to make plays for others. Mann fits the mold, and his six assists on Wednesday were the second-most a Nets player has recorded in a game this season (Cam Thomas had nine against Cleveland on October 24). Mann isn’t at the point where he’s a must-add player, but he’s worth watching due to the Nets’ young roster.

Mann has been starting for the Nets, but he hadn’t been contributing much on the offensive end. However, he popped out of nowhere to lead them in scoring in this one. Mann has never finished inside the top-150 in nine-category leagues, and that’s unlikely to change this season, even though he’s starting. He can confidently be left on the waiver wire in standard leagues, even if this was a strong performance.

Mann spent most of his career with the Clippers before being sent to Atlanta at the trade deadline in February. Now, he’ll find a new home in Brooklyn, where he’ll provide perimeter defense and a veteran presence in the locker room on a young team that is looking to establish an identity over the next few seasons. Assuming he isn’t moved again, Mann should play a decent-sized role for the Nets, but he won’t be prioritized over the young players, especially with Brooklyn now having five first-round picks.

Mann was one of the few veterans that played on Sunday, and he was able to do more scoring than he typically does for the shorthanded Hawks. He scored 14 points in the third quarter and matched his highest-scoring performance as a Hawk. Mann will play a large reserve role for Atlanta during the postseason, but his role doesn’t typically ask him to score as much as he did in this game. Still, Mann will be an important piece for the Hawks as they try to survive the Play-In Tournament.

After scoring 21 points in his prior three appearances, Mann hit double figures for the first time since March 27 in Saturday’s defeat. Despite averaging just 10.6 points per game, he has been a ninth-round player in nine-cat formats over the past two weeks. Georges Niang and Caris LeVert have been superior deep-league options since the trade deadline, but Mann will be worthy of a look for Sunday’s game against the Jazz.

With Caris LeVert (finger) sidelined on Monday, Atlanta’s other trade deadline acquisitions stepped up as scoring options. Mann and Georges Niang (18/4/3) combined to score 37 of the Hawks’ 49 bench points, which helped them secure the win over Philadelphia despite being shorthanded. Mann isn’t a fantasy-friendly option often, but he was able to make an impact in the box score on Monday. However, he isn’t a player that managers should be looking to roster.
