While he wasn’t in the starting lineup for Monday’s game, Saraf played more minutes than fellow rookie and starting point guard Nolan Traoré. Saraf played 23 minutes, finishing with a line that included a season-high four steals, while Traoré (four points, one rebound, one assist and one steal) struggled in 16 minutes of action. With Egor Dëmin (foot) done for the season, Saraf and Traoré will have their opportunities to impress.

Claxton returned to the Nets’ lineup on Monday after sitting out Saturday’s loss to the 76ers. While he did record his first double-double since February 9 and 11th of the season, the Nets’ center was limited to 20 minutes. That’s the concern regarding Claxton. If available, his minutes will take a hit, as he’s played 28 minutes or fewer in each of his last nine appearances. Claxton did produce a solid stat line on Monday, but the fantasy upside for the rest of the season is limited.

Powell will be available on Monday after sitting out Saturday’s loss to the 76ers. With Terance Mann (Achilles) unavailable, there will be additional minutes available on the perimeter. That isn’t enough to make Powell a worthwhile streaming target, but he’ll play rotation minutes.

Despite backing up Nolan Traoré, Saraf played 31 minutes off the bench in Saturday’s loss to the 76ers. If Saraf doesn’t play on Monday, the Nets can play Traoré for more than the 17 minutes he logged on Saturday, with Tyson Etienne possibly getting some backup point guard reps.

Mann started Saturday’s loss to the 76ers, but had just five points in 18 minutes. The 29-year-old shooting guard is set to miss Monday’s game against the Trail Blazers with left Achilles soreness. Ziaire Williams and Nolan Traoré figure to see more usage with Mann out.

Clowney started Saturday’s loss to the 76ers with Nic Claxton getting the night off for rest, but had just five points and four rebounds in 19 minutes. Now Clowney will get the night off with Claxton off the injury report ahead of Monday’s game against the Trail Blazers.

Porter is set to miss his third consecutive game with a right ankle sprain. Danny Wolf should continue to start in Porter’s absence and is worth a look in deeper formats under these circumstances.

Traoré sat out Thursday’s loss to the Hawks due to rest, but returned to the starting lineup Saturday. The 19-year-old guard had just six points in 17 minutes as well as three assists and five turnovers. Traoré was 2-of-10 from the field with his only made baskets coming on three-pointers. He’s not worth rostering in redraft leagues yet, but is a player to watch in dynasty formats.

Minott was coming off an excellent game in Thursday’s loss to the Hawks, when he had 24 points, four three-pointers, three steals and three blocks. The 23-year-old small forward wasn’t able to re-create that magic Saturday against the 76ers as he had 14 points on 12 field goal attempts, three three-pointers and one block. While Minott has played at least 20 minutes in three consecutive games, his minutes haven’t been consistent enough to warrant adding in most fantasy leagues.

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.

Traoré (rest) and Williams (illness) missed Thursday’s loss to the Hawks while Mann had eight points in 16 minutes off the bench. All three are joining Danny Wolf and Noah Clowney in the starting lineup against the 76ers on Saturday.

Agbaji was initially listed as probable with an ankle injury for Saturday’s game against the 76ers, so his availability isn’t much of a surprise. The 25-year-old shooting guard should see rotation minutes with Michael Porter Jr. (ankle) ruled out, but Agbaji still isn’t worth rostering in most fantasy leagues.

Saturday’s game will be the second straight that Porter has missed due to a sprained right ankle. Danny Wolf should remain in the starting lineup, and the rookie is worth picking up in deeper fantasy leagues.

Traoré and Williams were held out of Thursday’s loss to the Hawks, with the former being replaced in the starting lineup by fellow rookie Ben Saraf. While Traoré will likely reclaim his spot in the starting lineup, Williams may be asked to come off the bench.

Powell’s absence won’t have a significant effect on fantasy basketball, even with Egor Dëmin (foot) done for the rest of the season. Ziaire Williams has been removed from the injury report and should absorb most of the minutes that would go to Powell.

Claxton will get Saturday off, and with Day’Ron Sharpe done for the season, multiple streaming options could emerge. Noah Clowney and Danny Wolf are at the top of the list, as they’re both starters, while Josh Minott had one of the best games of his career in Thursday’s loss to the Hawks.

Agbaji was not officially ruled out for either of the Nets’ last two games, but he did not see any action. With Michael Porter Jr. (ankle) likely to miss another game, there may be rotation minutes available to Agbaji. However, that isn’t enough to make him a player worth rostering in redraft leagues.

Minott had strong stretch with the Celtics earlier this season, but he hasn’t done much with his minutes since he was traded to Brooklyn. However, he shined in this game with a well-rounded, productive stat line. Michael Porter Jr. (ankle) was sidelined for this game, which may have led to Minott taking on a few extra minutes. He has proven that he can be productive when he gets the minutes, but they haven’t come consistently enough for him to be worth adding at this point.

The Nets are without Nolan Traoré and Michael Porter Jr. for Thursday’s game, opening two spots in the starting lineup. Saraf and Wolf have been tabbed to fill the voids, with the latter offering the higher fantasy ceiling.

Sharpe, who missed the Nets’ last two games with a left thumb injury, has been diagnosed with a torn UCL in the thumb. As a result, he’ll undergo surgery and miss the rest of the season. This is a rough turn for fantasy managers who targeted Sharpe for the silly season. While Danny Wolf has been used more on the perimeter, his opportunities may increase in the aftermath of Sharpe’s injury, especially if the Nets look to play starters Nic Claxton and Noah Clowney less. Josh Minott and Chaney Johnson have also played rotation minutes recently and are worth watching.

Porter is dealing with a sprained right ankle and will not play against the Hawks. Danny Wolf has been the replacement in the starting lineup in the past, and that should be the case on Thursday. Given where the Nets are in the standings, Wolf may be worth holding onto in deeper leagues for the rest of the season.

Porter returned to the starting lineup Tuesday after resting for Monday’s win over the Grizzlies. The 27-year-old small forward had 19 points, but played only 22 minutes due to a blowout. The good news for Porter managers is that the Nets have two more games this week, starting with a matchup against the Hawks on Thursday.
