Wolf remained in the starting lineup with Michael Porter Jr. (ankle) out. The 21-year-old power forward had 15 points on nine field goal attempts and 10 rebounds in the loss to the 76ers on Saturday. Wolf has been worth streaming in deeper formats when he’s in the starting lineup. The Nets have four games upcoming in Week 21, starting with a matchup against the Trail Blazers on Monday.

With Michael Porter Jr. (rest) getting the night off, Wolf made his ninth start of the season. In the previous eight, the 7-foot rookie averaged 10.6 points, 6.0 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 0.9 steals, 1.0 blocks and 1.3 three-pointers per game. Wolf exceeded the points, rebounds and three-point averages in Monday’s victory, shooting just under 50 percent from the field. While the returns haven’t been elite, Wolf is worth the streaming risk in deep leagues when allowed to start.

The Nets won’t have Michael Porter Jr. for Monday’s game, as he sits for rest reasons. He’s been replaced in the lineup by Wolf, who is worth streaming in deep leagues. The other change to the lineup is Powell, who replaces Terance Mann.

Wolf hadn’t scored at least 20 points in a game since November 29 against the Bucks. The 21-year-old power forward also had nine rebounds and five assists, giving him an excellent stat line. Wolf is going to be hard pressed to maintain this level of production with Michael Porter Jr. healthy, but Wolf could have value in deeper formats if the Nets opt to shutdown MPJ.

Having totaled 17 points in his last three games, Wolf was more productive against the Spurs. The 14 points were the most the rookie has scored in a game since the Nets’ final game before the All-Star break, with Wolf hitting that number in a loss to the Pacers. His fantasy value for the rest of the season depends partly on Michael Porter Jr.'s availability. When MPJ is logging starters’ minutes, as he did on Thursday, it’s challenging to get too much value out of Wolf. If Porter is rested for Friday’s game against the Celtics, the 7-footer would be worth a look in deeper leagues.

With Michael Porter Jr. being limited to 21 minutes since the game was a blowout, Wolf picked up additional time off the bench on Thursday. While the percentages weren’t good, the rookie 7-footer produced a complete stat line in his 27 minutes. Wolf isn’t a must-roster player right now, but that could change in the near future as the Nets continue to prioritize player development and their draft lottery odds.

With Michael Porter Jr. (knee) unavailable, Wolf made his eighth start of the season on Monday. And the rookie acquitted himself well, shooting a high percentage and recording a complete stat line. While Egor Dëmin has been the most productive of the Nets’ five first-round picks, Wolf’s had his share of positive moments as well. He took advantage of his 25 minutes against the Bulls, and playing time for the rookie should only increase after the All-Star break.

The Nets won’t have Egor Dëmin (rest) or Michael Porter Jr. (knee) for Monday’s game, opening up two spots in the starting lineup. Mann and Wolf will fill the voids, with the latter offering slightly higher fantasy upside.

Unlike earlier this season, Wolf’s minutes weren’t wholly dependent upon Michael Porter Jr.'s workload. The rookie forward/center essentially served as Noah Clowney’s backup on Saturday, with both players producing solid stat lines. Clowney logged 27 minutes, finishing with 18 points, three rebounds, two assists, one steal, one block and four three-pointers. Wolf has “silly season standout” potential, especially if the Nets decide to cut Porter’s and Clowney’s minutes, if not sit them outright on occasion.

Wolf and the Nets had an evening to forget Sunday in Detroit. The 21-year-old power forward had six points on nine attempts as the Pistons’ blew out the Nets by 53, the franchise’s largest ever margin of victory. Unfortunately, the Nets are no stranger to games like this as they fell to the Knicks by 54 last month. They’ll look to turn the page in Week 16 with three games, the first of which is Tuesday against the Lakers at home.

The Nets are without Egor Dëmin, as he has not played both games of back-to-backs this season. His spot in the starting lineup will be filled by Traoré, another of Brooklyn’s 2025 draft picks who has not offered much value in redraft leagues. The other change is Wolf, who steps in for Noah Clowney and will start alongside Porter and Claxton in the frontcourt.

Wolf didn’t have a good night shooting the basketball, but the rookie did record a complete stat line in his 26 minutes. Rostered in two percent of Yahoo! leagues, the 7-footer is ranked just inside the top-200 in eight-cat formats over the past two weeks. Wolf will have every opportunity to contribute during the second half of the season, so he should be a solid option for the “silly season.” As for right now, the percentages and overall production are too low to trust him in most fantasy leagues.

Michael Porter Jr. (rest) is not available for Sunday’s game, and his absence opens up a spot in the starting lineup. As has been the case recently, Wolf starts when MPJ is not available. Also moving into the lineup is Mann, who is starting for Drake Powell (knee).

Due to injuries, Wolf was tabbed to make his first start on Thursday. The rookie forward/center recorded a complete stat line, providing solid value in the assist and steal categories. His value in the short term depends on the availability of Terance Mann and Michael Porter Jr. However, Wolf should have solid value during the “silly season,” especially given how well he played in early December.

Wolf came rocketing back to earth in this one, going 0-for-7 from downtown, after exploding for 17 points over 27 minutes earlier this week against the Mavericks. His lackluster shooting performance came on a night where Brooklyn drained 19 three-pointers and shot nearly 45 percent from downtown. The 21-year-old offers fringe fantasy appeal at the moment given the Nets’ crowded rotation, but an increase in minutes would give him some increased relevance.

Wolf has scored at least 17 points in three of his last six games. But is he at the point where he can be trusted in a higher percentage of redraft leagues? Maybe so. Despite the inconsistent scoring, Wolf has been a 10th-round player in eight-cat formats over the past two weeks. While he certainly isn’t a must-add, deep-league managers can’t be blamed for considering Wolf well ahead of the “silly season” rush. The negative in the short term is the schedule, as the Nets face Milwaukee on Sunday, but they only have two games in Week 9.

Over his last five games, Wolf has averaged 12.4 points, 5.8 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 2.2 three-pointers per game. It goes without saying that these are solid numbers for a rookie coming off the bench behind two young bigs in Nic Claxton and Noah Clowney. However, the lackluster defensive production makes Wolf difficult to trust this early in the season. While the recent run has been encouraging, he has not reached the point where he should be considered in most redraft leagues. That’s likely to change later this season, especially with the Nets dropping to 1-10 at home on Thursday.

Wolf may have a knack for dunking on people. Two nights removed from putting Milwaukee’s Kyle Kuzma on a poster as part of a 22-point night, the rookie did the same to Charlotte’s Miles Bridges. Wolf’s overall production against the Hornets didn’t move the needle much in fantasy basketball, but he’s hit double figures in minutes in three straight games. That may not mean much right now, but Wolf could be a valuable option for fantasy managers after the February trade deadline.

Wolf hasn’t played much of a role during his rookie year, but he was part of the rotation in this game and made a huge impact off the bench. He led the Nets in scoring while enjoying the best game of his young career. He’s a dynamic big man that has tremendous upside, and Brooklyn will likely let him continue to take on more minutes to see how he can develop. He’s a valuable piece in dynasty leagues, and he’s worth keeping an eye on in standard redraft leagues.

The 27th pick in this year’s draft will likely make his NBA debut on Monday, but it’s unclear what kind of role he’ll have in Brooklyn’s rotation, especially after coming off of injury. Day’Ron Sharpe and Noah Clowney could see a reduction in playing time, but fantasy managers should keep an eye on the frontcourt rotation moving forward. Fellow rookie first-rounder Drake Powell (ankle) remains out against the Timberwolves.

Wolf remains out and has yet to make his official Nets debut. His continued absence does not significantly impact fantasy basketball, but it has meant consistent minutes for Day’Ron Sharpe and Noah Clowney off the bench.
