After scoring a career-high 23 points in Friday’s loss, Etienne was able to stay hot in this game with the second 20-point game of his career. He’s still on a two-way contract, but he closed this season out on a high note and could end up signing a new contract with the Nets this offseason.

Before fouling out, Saraf tallied a solid stat line in 26 minutes. This was his fourth straight start, and he has averaged 17.0 points, 4.0 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 1.3 steals per game during this stretch. Saraf was the 26th pick in the draft last summer and showed some flashes during his first year in the league. He likely won’t be ready to make significant contributions during his second season, but he’s worth stashing in dynasty formats.

Traoré was initially questionable for Sunday’s game. Ben Saraf has served as the starting point guard in recent games, so Traoré’s absence would not change anything there.

Saraf has reached double figures in scoring in three consecutive games, one shy of his season-best run. The Nets’ rookie recorded a complete stat line against the Bucks and played 41 minutes. Nolan Traoré (14 points, four rebounds, three steals, one block and one three-pointer) has served as the backup, with Nets decision-makers and the coaching staff taking a longer look at Saraf. That should remain the rotation for Sunday’s season finale against the Raptors.

Smith notched two career milestones on Friday, finishing the loss with a career-high point total and his first double-double. He finished two rebounds shy of a triple-double and played 43 of a possible 48 minutes. Given how shorthanded the Nets are, Smith should take on a similar workload for Sunday’s season finale against the Raptors.

Not only did Etienne finish Friday’s loss with a career-high point total, but this was his first 20-point game as a pro. The Nets’ guard has reached double figures in consecutive games four times in his two-year NBA career, with three of those streaks occurring this season. Etienne should continue to play rotation minutes in Sunday’s season finale against the Raptors, as the Nets are shorthanded on the perimeter.

Etienne struggled from the field on Thursday in his 39 minutes on the floor. He was particularly cold inside the arc, with his efficient three-point shooting being the positive on the evening. Etienne did, however, make contributions on the glass and as a facilitator to help make up for the inefficient scoring. He’ll have a chance to bounce back on Friday against the Bucks.

Despite shooting poorly from the three-point line, Saraf still managed to find production against the Pacers. He finished with a handful of boards and tied a team-high in assists, showing off some versatility in his game. Saraf has put together a solid few weeks toward the end of his rookie season that could be a confidence booster heading into the offseason and ultimately his second season. He’s got two games left to close strong.

Liddell was one of Brooklyn’s bright spots on Thursday. Despite the loss, he drained a few triples en route to his second 20-point performance of the season. His work on the glass led to a team-high in boards, as well, in his 37 minutes on the floor. Liddell has put together three straight double-digit scoring performances after doing so just once in the games prior. He’s trending in the right direction as the season nears its conclusion.

Minott’s second straight missed game will leave the Nets a bit thinner in the frontcourt. The fourth-year pro has started just one of the 16 games he’s played with the Nets, but is scoring 10.8 points per game on 49.1/39.5/80.0 shooting splits. He’s scored in double figures in eight of his last 10 appearances.

Mann will miss his third game in a row, as he deals with lingering lower extremities injuries. The seventh-year pro has mostly functioned as a starter for the Nets, putting up numbers similar to a season ago. Ben Saraf should get the start again, as a result.

Clowney’s absence on Thursday will mark his third straight, as the Nets’ 2025-26 season nears its conclusion. The third-year forward is having a career-best season in terms of scoring, rebounding, and passing, while serving as mostly a full-time starter. While sidelined, E.J. Liddell could continue to log heavy minutes.

Liddell followed up his 15-point performance Sunday against the Wizards with 21 points in the win over the Bucks on Tuesday. A former second-round pick in 2022 by the Pelicans, Liddell is making an impression on a two-way contract with the Nets as the season comes to a close.

Saraf moved into the starting lineup and had 19 points in the win over the Bucks on Tuesday. The 19-year-old missed Sunday’s game against the Wizards with back tightness, though he’s been playing behind Nolan Traoré anyway. It was a good game for Saraf against the Bucks, but as one of five Nets first-round picks last year his standing in the organization remains somewhat of an open-ended question.

Powell and Liddell are the holdovers from the lineup that started Sunday’s win over the Wizards. Saraf, Smith and Scott replace Nolan Traoré, Jalen Wilson and Chaney Johnson. Saraf and Powell may be the “safest” options for those in active fantasy leagues, as they were first-round picks last summer, and their development is critical for the Nets.

Following a one-game absence, the rookie guard has a chance to take the floor on Tuesday when the Nets host the Bucks. Saraf had a productive stretch recently in March, scoring in double figures in eight of nine games. He’s been quieter in the three games since, but continues to log decent minutes.
