Porter came out of the gate on fire, dropping 22 points in the first half on 9-of-14 shooting, including 4-of-7 from beyond the arc, to power the Nets to a commanding 62-44 advantage. The 27-year-old scoring machine has delievered first-round value for fantasy purposes as one of the most impactful all-around performers over the past week, averaging 34.3 points, 8.7 rebounds, 4.0 assists, 2.0 steals and 0.7 blocks over three games during that span. The Nets are off until Friday when they face the Mavericks before closing out the week with a home tilt against the Bucks.

Claxton was a dominant presence in the paint in this one as he shot 55 percent from the floor while pulling down 11 rebounds and also dishing out double-digit assists. He also chipped in three blocks just for good measure. The 26-year-old big man has been exceptional of late, delivering third-round fantasy value over the past week, averaging 13.3 points, 9.5 rebounds, 7.3 assists, 0.8 steals and two blocks over his last four games.

Sharpe provided a spark off the bench as Brooklyn raced out to a big lead early and was able to cruise to a relatively easy win. He knocked down all four of his shots from the floor to finish the first half with nine points off the bench. He finished with a solid all-around line as he also added a couple rebounds and assists in addition to a steal and a block. There are plenty of mouths to feed in Brooklyn, which limits his fantasy ceiling, but he’s averaged just over 16 minutes per-game this season. He would have some appeal in deeper fantasy leagues if he were able to get into the starting lineup.

Clowney is officially good to go after initially being listed as probable. He’s scored at least 20 points in two straight games, and the matchup lends itself toward Clowney extending that streak to three. Those who have him rostered must ensure he’s in their lineups.

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.

MPJ will be back after a one-game absence, which came on the second night of a back-to-back. He’ll be back to occupy his typical starting spot, and with Terance Mann available, that will push Tyrese Martin to the bench.

Clowney is expected to suit up, though he is dealing with back soreness. He has scored at least 20 points in two straight games and will look to stay hot against a porous Pelicans defense.

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.

With Terance Mann limited to 18 minutes after a two-game absence and the hard fall he took during the second half of Thursday’s game, there was more room for Williams to contribute despite coming off the bench. The former lottery pick finished with his second 20-point game of the season and first since October 24. However, while Thursday was good, Williams’ season-long fantasy value remains subpar. The only reason to consider adding him ahead of Sunday’s game against the Pelicans would be if Mann and Michael Porter Jr. can’t play.

While his season-long fantasy value remains relatively low, now would be a good time to hop onto the Clowney bandwagon if he’s sitting on your league’s waiver wire. Over the past two weeks, the Nets forward/center has provided fourth-round value in eight-cat formats, and he’s scored at least 16 points in seven of his last eight games. Clowney is rostered in 30 percent of Yahoo! leagues, so he’s certainly available in some 12-team formats. Now would be a good time to change that.

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.

The injury is listed as “injury management,” so it’s likely just Porter Jr. getting a day of maintenance after playing on two of the last three nights. Drake Powell is also out for the Nets, so this would likely mean increased usage for Nic Claxton and Noah Clowney, and Terance Mann (ribs) could return to a larger role in the offense.

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.

Clowney had at least six three-pointers for the second time in his last five games. The 21-year-old power forward hasn’t shown enough consistency as a scorer yet and doesn’t contribute much in the other categories. Still, Clowney can be an option in deeper formats because of his flashes of excellence and secure playing time.

Porter continues to excel in his new surroundings with the Nets. The 27-year-old small forward had another 30-point game in another win for Brooklyn. Porter followed up his 35 points in the win over the Hornets on Monday with 33 points in the win over the Bulls Wednesday. He’s returned fifth-round fantasy value so far this season.

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.

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.

Claxton recorded a complete stat line on Monday, and the rebounding production was especially encouraging. After grabbing 11 rebounds in three consecutive games, the Nets center entered Monday having totaled 14 rebounds over his last three. After totaling 18 double-digit rebound games in 2024-25, he has six through Brooklyn’s first 20 games of this season. For those punting free-throw percentage, Claxton is providing top-75 fantasy value.

After ripping off a streak of eight straight games in double figures, Clowney put up a dud in Saturday’s loss to the Bucks. He got back on track on Monday, shooting 66.7 percent from the field and 50 percent from beyond the arc in Brooklyn’s win over the Hornets. While he remains ranked outside the top-200 in nine-cat formats, Clowney’s status as a starter makes him worth a look in deeper leagues. And that should remain the case throughout the season.

After recording three 30-point games last season with the Nuggets, Porter dropped his sixth of his first season with the Nets on Monday. The 35 points were a season-high for the forward, who was efficient and only lacked a blocked shot on his stat line. While there may be some concern about a late-season shutdown due to the Nets’ prioritization of the 2026 draft class, we haven’t reached that point yet. Porter is in a spot where he can be highly valuable, at least until the trade deadline.

Porter is back after a two-game absence and will fill the void left by the inactive Terance Mann. This means Martin will remain in the starting lineup for a second consecutive game, giving him a slightly higher fantasy ceiling. Also, Dëmin is back after sitting out Saturday’s loss to the Bucks for injury management reasons.

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.

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.

Both players were listed as probable on Sunday evening, so their availability is not surprising. MPJ will be back following a two-game absence which will erase Ziaire Williams’ streaming value. Clowney has yet to miss a game this season, and he should retain his usual spot in Brooklyn’s starting five.

Dëmin will be back after a one-game absence, which allowed Tyrese Martin to start in his place. Martin will likely return to a reserve role with Dëmin available. Dëmin scored a career-best 23 points in the last game he suited up for and will look to build off that.

This was the first time Saraf has suited up since Nov. 11, he injured his ankle during a G League game earlier this month, and this was the first time since then that he checked in for Brooklyn. He logged 29 minutes in the ugly loss and was one of the more productive players for the Nets. The lopsided score certainly altered the rotation, but Saraf could earn more minutes after leading the team in assists.
