Thomas had a nice game with 17 points and six assists in 20 minutes off the bench against the Magic on Sunday. Still, the 24-year-old shooting guard’s scoring has been sporadic since he was acquired by the Bucks. Thomas has scored at least 10 points in just three of his last eight games after a hot start with his new team. More consistent minutes would go a long way towards helping him regain value.

Thomas’ point output was solid, but most of his damage was done at the foul line. The Bucks guard made eight of his ten free throws, but he shot just 2-of-7 from inside the arc. Thomas’ three assists were the most in a game for him since joining the Bucks; he clearly understands his strengths, it’s just a matter of how accurately Cam shoots the basketball.

Thomas had another sensational scoring night off Milwaukee’s bench, finishing in a tie with Ryan Rollins for the most points by a Bucks player on Friday. Thomas made some contributions from the free-throw line but mostly did his scoring from inside the arc. He was efficient in his 21 minutes of action and has now scored over 25 points twice since being traded to Milwaukee. His role with the team seems clear, which makes him an interesting player in fantasy leagues the rest of the season.

Thomas only played 13 minutes against Orlando on Monday, but he took on a larger role in the rematch and was far more productive. His role dwindled over the final weeks of his Nets’ tenure, but in his second game with Milwaukee, he had his highest-scoring game since October. If Thomas is able to continue to play this well after the All-Star break, he may be able to secure a long-term deal this summer and be a strong option for fantasy managers down the stretch.

One day after his signing was made official, Thomas made his Bucks debut. As was the case in Brooklyn, he came off the bench, playing 13 minutes. The production wasn’t there, but the Bucks do have two more games before the All-Star break. There’s no need to roster Thomas in most leagues, but some practice time with his new teammates could prove helpful after the break.

Just a few days after being waived by the Nets, Thomas has reportedly found a new home. While a player capable of putting up big scoring numbers, the guard has not shown much ability to make plays for others or defend consistently. He’ll get the opportunity to do that in Milwaukee, hopefully using it as a springboard into free agency in the summer. Thomas’ signing could eventually leave a dent in the playing time for Ryan Rollins, A.J. Green, and Kevin Porter Jr.

Thomas has been playing a reserve role for Brooklyn recently, which has led to some decent scoring nights, though he hasn’t popped. Drake Powell and Ben Saraf should take on extra minutes with Thomas unavailable.

Thomas returned after sitting out Thursday’s loss to the Nuggets with a hamstring injury. The 24-year-old shooting guard had 21 points in 24 minutes off the bench. Thomas struggled from behind the three-point line, going 1-of-6. The Nets are content to keep him under 25 minutes played, which limits his overall fantasy value and eliminates his ceiling.

Thomas is back after sitting out Thursday’s loss to the Nuggets. The Nets have kept him at or below 25 minutes on most nights, so fantasy managers should not expect Thomas to play more, even with Michael Porter Jr. unavailable. Thomas can still provide tangible fantasy value, but his ceiling is limited due to his playing time.

The Nets will be without Thomas on Thursday when they face the Nuggets. The microwave scorer has had a down season thus far as become a reserve player for a struggling Nets team. Thomas is averaging 15.9 points on 39.5/32.7/83.8 shooting splits so far and has struggled to have much of an impact in fantasy leagues of late.

Thomas was held out of Sunday’s loss to the Clippers due to a sprained left ankle. On track to return Tuesday night, he’s been more valuable in points leagues than category leagues. Plus, Thomas is still coming off the bench, which limits his fantasy ceiling regardless of league format.

While hamstring injuries have been the reason given for limiting Thomas’ playing time in the past, a sprained left ankle sidelines him for the first game of the Nets’ road trip. Drake Powell’s playing time may increase after he logged 20 minutes in Friday’s double-overtime loss to the Celtics. If it isn’t “silly season” already in Brooklyn, it’s approaching.

Thomas did not play in Monday’s loss to the Suns, as it was the second game of a back-to-back. He’ll likely be used in a reserve role on Wednesday, which does the guard no favors in terms of fantasy value or his hitting free agency in June.

Thomas will miss Monday’s game due to injury management. Michael Porter Jr. (rest) is back and will serve as Brooklyn’s primary scoring option, which will help compensate for Thomas’ absence.

Back in the rotation after sitting out Monday’s loss to the Mavericks, Thomas was limited to 24 minutes against the Pelicans. With this being the guard’s contract year, the role has to be frustrating. Fantasy managers can take solace in the assist tally, as Thomas’ five helpers were the most in a game for him since he dished out nine on October 24. Those who have him rostered must be hoping for a trade by the February 5 deadline, because the situation could become more dire from a fantasy standpoint if he isn’t.

Thomas played 23 minutes in Thursday’s game, but after missing almost two months with a hamstring injury, they’ll sit him out for the second game of this back-to-back. Drake Powell and Tyrese Martin should both see a few extra minutes with Thomas unavailable.

Due to the amount of time he missed with a hamstring injury, Thomas continues to come off the bench. The good news for fantasy managers is that they know he won’t get cheated on the shot attempts when he’s in the game. Thomas led the Nets in points and field-goal attempts on Thursday, which should be a common occurrence when Michael Porter Jr. is unavailable.

On the heels of an impressive 30-point effort on Sunday in his return from a 20-game absence due to a left hamstring strain, Thomas was limited to just 18 minutes off the bench on the tail-end of a back-to-back. The 24-year-old guard still managed to put up 12 shots but only three of them were from beyond the arc. He’ll likely be on a minutes restriction for a couple additional games before Brooklyn feels comfortable ramping up his usage.

Thomas made an immediate impact in his return to the lineup following a nearly two-month absence due to a left hamstring strain. The 24-year-old scoring machine was limited to just 19 minutes in this one and figures to have a governor on his workload for the next couple games. He still managed to hoist 15 shot attempts and went 3-of-8 from three-point range in addition to getting to the free throw line for nine attempts. The Nets are back in action on Monday against the Warriors before facing the Rockets, Wizards and Nuggets to close out a four-game week.

Thomas practiced in full on Friday, and Nets coach Jordi Fernandez said that Thomas will be available to play against Minnesota. He didn’t say anything about how much Thomas will play, but after missing nearly two months with a soft-tissue injury, it’s safe to assume they will bring him along slowly. Terance Mann and Tyrese Martin will likely lose out on minutes with Thomas back in the rotation.

Thomas has been sidelined for nearly two months, and it seems he is inching closer to a return. Brooklyn’s next game is on Saturday against the Timberwolves, so there is a chance he is upgraded to questionable ahead of that game. With a hamstring injury, Thomas should be brought along slowly, which likely means he will be on a minutes restriction at first. However, he will eventually return to the starting lineup, which will likely push Terance Mann to the bench.

Thomas, who last appeared in a game on November 5, has been recovering from a strained left hamstring. However, while he still does not have a concrete return timeline, the guard was recently cleared to resume 5-on-5 activities. And Thomas got through Saturday’s session without any issues. Depending on how much he plays once cleared to return, Thomas may push Terance Mann to the bench. Mann has not been consistent enough to merit being rostered in most leagues.

Thomas’ MRI showed progress in the healing of his hamstring and he’s begun on-court work. Still, the 24-year-old shooting guard is set to miss at least the next two weeks before we get another update on his status.

Thomas has been out since November 5, when he strained his left hamstring during a game against the Pacers. At the time, he was given a timeline of three to four weeks before being re-evaluated. Once the next MRI is completed, the team will provide an updated timeline for Thomas. For now, those who have him stashed in an IL+ slot should continue to do so.

Thomas, who exited Wednesday’s win over the Pacers during the first quarter, has been diagnosed with a strained left hamstring. His absence impacts multiple players, most notably Tyrese Martin. Martin played 27 minutes on Wednesday and may be moved into the starting lineup. Rookies Egor Dëmin and Ben Saraf are also potential replacements. Also, Thomas’ absence will result in increased usage for Michael Porter Jr. and Terance Mann, with the former scoring 32 points on Wednesday.

Thomas exited early on Wednesday and will be held out on Friday. It’s unclear how long of an absence this will be, though he did miss over two months last season with a hamstring injury. Michael Porter Jr. will see an uptick in usage, while Tyrese Martin will help make up the minutes. Martin played 27 minutes off the bench on Wednesday and contributed 16 points and four three-pointers.

Thomas exited Wednesday’s game after six minutes due to left hamstring tightness, playing six minutes and going scoreless with one assist. Tyrese Martin checked in a bit earlier than usual and may be in for a boost in minutes if Thomas misses additional time. The Nets host Detroit on Friday.

One day after scoring 29 points against the 76ers, Thomas dropped in another 25 on Monday. He’s scored 25 points or more in four of Brooklyn’s first seven games and is averaging 24.3 per. However, Thomas’s fantasy value in category leagues remains low due to his limited assist and defensive production. On Monday, he was solid in the assist and steal categories but remains ranked outside the top-100 in eight- and nine-cat formats.
