Nets' Day'Ron Sharpe: Still working through injury
Sharpe (hamstring) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against Charlotte.
Sharpe suffered a left hamstring strain in early October during training camp. He was ruled out for at least six weeks due to the injury, so Sharpe could be close to making his 2024-25 regular-season debut. His next chance to do so will be Friday against the 76ers.

Nets' Ziaire Williams: Probable for Tuesday
Williams is probable for Tuesday's game against the Hornets due to right hip tightness, Meghan Triplett of YES Network reports.
Williams has yet to miss a game this season, and that shouldn't change Tuesday. Over his last six appearances (two starts), Williams has averaged 10.0 points, 6.8 rebounds and 1.2 steals-plus-blocks in 24.8 minutes per game.

Nets' Dorian Finney-Smith: Expected to play Tuesday
Finney-Smith is probable for Tuesday's game against the Hornets due to a left ankle sprain, Meghan Triplett of YES Network reports.
Finney-Smith is expected to continue playing through a minor ankle sprain. After missing two games, Finney-Smith returned to the starting lineup Friday and totaled 31 points, eight rebounds, five assists and two blocks across two matchups against the Knicks over the weekend.

Nets' Trendon Watford: Cracks rotation in season debut
Watford (hamstring) recorded four points (1-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds and three assists in 13 minutes off the bench in Sunday's 114-104 loss to the Knicks.
Watford received the green light to make his season debut Sunday after he missed the Nets' first 13 games due to a left hamstring strain. While the fourth-year big man may not have a regular spot in the rotation when Brooklyn is back at full strength, the absences of Nic Claxton (back) and Day'Ron Sharpe (hamstring) left minutes available for Watford in the frontcourt.

Nets' Cam Thomas: Scores 16 points Sunday
Thomas closed Sunday's 114-104 loss to New York with 16 points (4-11 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 7-10 FT), five rebounds, three assists and one steal across 33 minutes.
Thomas was unable to build off the 43-point effort he delivered in the 124-122 loss to the Knicks on Friday, and he's now failed to reach the 20-point mark in three of his last four appearances. Even if Thomas' numbers might be trending in the wrong direction, he's still averaging a robust 24.6 points per game this season. Fantasy managers shouldn't be worried about his recent struggles, as Thomas should continue to have the green light to carry Brooklyn's offense for the foreseeable future.

Nets' Ben Simmons: Goes scoreless vs. New York
Simmons ended with zero points (0-3 FG), four rebounds, eight assists and one block across 22 minutes during Sunday's 114-104 loss to the Knicks.
There's no question that the Nets need more from Simmons on the offensive end of the court, and the Australian went scoreless in a game that could've easily had a different outcome had he been more aggressive on offense. Simmons has failed to reach double-digit points in each of his 10 games this season, and his lack of scoring prowess certainly undermines his fantasy value. He's averaging 7.0 assists, 5.8 rebounds and a combined 1.3 steals and blocks per game, but he's scoring a career-low 5.3 points per contest.

Nets' Cameron Johnson: Scores team-high 22 points
Johnson provided 22 points (7-12 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds and five assists across 31 minutes during Sunday's 114-104 loss to the Knicks.
Players like Cam Thomas and Ben Simmons weren't at their best on offense, but Johnson picked up the slack and led Brooklyn in scoring in this 10-point defeat. This was Johnson's fifth game with at least 20 points, and all but one of those has come since the start of November. The lack of consistency as a scorer remains there, but the former UNC standout has averaged 18.2 points per game in nine November appearances.

Nets' Ziaire Williams: Getting green light Sunday
Williams (hip) is available for Sunday's game against the Knicks, Erik Slater of ClutchPoints.com reports.
Williams has yet to miss a game this season. He's played at least 26 minutes in three straight games (two starts), averaging 14.7 points, 7.7 rebounds and 1.0 steals in 27.3 minutes during that stretch.

Nets' Ziaire Williams: Questionable for Sunday
Williams is questionable for Sunday's game against the Knicks due to right hip tightness, Evan Barnes of Newsday reports.
Williams is in danger of missing his first game of the season, though a decision on his status should be made closer to Sunday's tipoff at 7 p.m. ET. The forward is averaging 9.8 points, 4.8 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 1.0 steals per game across 13 outings (two starts) this season.

Nets' Trendon Watford: Set to play Sunday
Watford (hamstring) isn't on the injury report for Sunday's game versus the Knicks, Evan Barnes of Newsday reports.
Watford is set to make his season debut Sunday after missing Brooklyn's first 13 contests with a left hamstring strain. Across 63 appearances in 2023-24, Watford averaged 6.9 points, 3.1 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 13.6 minutes.

Nets' Dennis Schroder: Comes close to double-double
Schroder amassed 14 points (4-17 FG, 2-10 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three rebounds, eight assists and two steals in 34 minutes during Friday's 124-122 loss to the Knicks.
Schroder had a rough showing from the field and needed 17 shots to score 14 points, but he salvaged his fantasy line with his eight assists and two steals. The veteran floor general hasn't recorded a double-double since late October, but he remains productive as the Nets' starting floor general. He's scored in double digits in six games in a row, a span during which he's averaging 17.7 points, 4.5 assists, 2.8 rebounds and 1.3 steals per contest.

Nets' Dorian Finney-Smith: Scores 15 in return to lineup
Finney-Smith had 15 points (4-9 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds, three assists and one block over 32 minutes during Friday's 124-122 loss to the Knicks.
Finney-Smith returned from a two-game absence and delivered one of his best all-around outings of the season, finishing just two points shy of tying his season-best mark. Even though he's not one of the go-to players on offense, he's finding ways to produce and has scored in double digits in three of his last four appearances, a span during which he's averaging 11.8 points, 4.8 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 0.5 blocks per game while shooting an unsustainable 52.2 percent from deep.

Nets' Cam Thomas: Scores season-high 43 points
Thomas ended Friday's 124-122 loss to New York with 43 points (16-22 FG, 7-10 3Pt, 4-6 FT), two rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal in 39 minutes.
Thomas engaged in a back-and-forth battle with Jalen Brunson, who posted 37 points and seven assists, but his explosive scoring performance wasn't enough to lift Brooklyn to victory in this matchup. Despite the Nets' record, Thomas has been one of the best guards in fantasy across all formats. He's averaging 24.0 points, 3.4 assists and 2.6 rebounds per game since the beginning of November while making 43.1 percent of his three-point shots in that span.

Nets' Ben Simmons: Starting Friday
Simmons is in the Nets' starting lineup for Friday's game against the Knicks, Ian Begley of SportsNet New York reports.
Simmons will return Friday from a one-game absence due to calf tightness, and he will start at center as Nic Claxton is sidelined due to a lower back strain. Across his six starts this season, Simmons has averaged 5.8 points, 6.2 assists and 6.0 rebounds over 24.5 minutes per game.
