Powell appears to like playing against the Knicks. Just over two weeks after scoring a season-high 15 points in a road loss to the Nets’ crosstown rival, the rookie wing matched that number on Monday. Powell didn’t record any defensive stats in the 113-100 defeat, but the offensive improvement was good to see. Since the first meeting with New York, he averaged 6.0 points in the six games that followed. This is going to be a season in which Powell and fellow rookie Egor Dëmin (9/6/2/1 with one three-pointer) play plenty; fantasy managers must hope that the early-season lumps turn them into valuable options during the “silly season.”

Powell may not have moved into the starting lineup in the aftermath of Cam Thomas’ hamstring injury, but the rookie has received more playing time to show what he can do. After logging 27 minutes in Friday’s loss to the Pistons, Powell played 23 on Sunday and produced his best offensive showing of the season. Powell, who entered Sunday 0-of-3 from deep, made all three of his attempts against the Knicks. He isn’t a player who should be rostered in fantasy leagues right now. Still, Powell’s name should be filed away in preparation for the “silly season,” especially with the Nets prioritizing getting a good draft pick next spring.

Powell is officially listed as questionable after missing the Nets’ last two games. When he has been available, his role has been minimal, though with Cam Thomas (hamstring) out, Powell could take on a larger role. However, that won’t be enough to consider streaming him on a day with 11 games.

Powell has spent two separate stints on the bench due to injury, having sprained his right ankle twice. The rookie did not impact fantasy basketball in either of his first two games, and that will likely remain the case if he’s cleared to play on Friday. However, Powell and the Nets’ other four first-round picks may be worth targeting later this season, as the franchise’s priority is to secure the best possible pick in next summer’s draft.

Making his first appearance since the season opener, Powell sprained the same ankle late in the first quarter of Sunday’s game. The rookie may be headed for another extended absence, given the prior injury. While Powell’s absence would not impact fantasy basketball in the short term, it would mean a few more minutes for fellow reserve Jalen Wilson.
