Brooklyn Nets

Trendon Watford scored 18 points (7-8 FG, 4-4 FT) with a rebound, two assists, three steals, and a block in the Nets' 100-96 win over the 76ers on Wednesday.

Fantasy Impact: Watford had a nice performance off of the bench for the Nets, leading their next-closest relief scorer by 10. He's been a bit tough to trust this season but he's trended upward in the past three games. It's too soon to tell whether this is a new reality, but it's worth keeping an eye on him.

Fantasy Impact: The big man will play on Wednesday. He was previously listed as questionable to play due to an ankle injury, but it's not serious and he will be able to play through it. He projects to be a solid fantasy asset in this matchup and beyond, assuming he stays healthy.

Day'Ron Sharpe scored 14 points (7-12 FG) to go along with nine rebounds, two assists and one block in the Nets 97-89 win over the Hornets.

Fantasy Impact: Sharpe finished just two points shy of his season-high and one rebound shy of a double-double. He remains off the fantasy radar for now, but he could be a player to monitor late in the season.

D'Angelo Russell scored 11 points (4-12 FG, 1-7 3PT, 2-2 FT) to go along with three rebounds, four assists and one steal in the Nets 97-89 win over the Hornets.

Fantasy Impact: Russell entered Monday battling an illness, which could be why he was limited to just 23 minutes of playing time. He should remain one of the top scorers for Brooklyn moving forward.

Cameron Johnson scored 14 points (5-9 FG, 2-6 3PT, 2-2 FT) to go along with five rebounds, three assists and one block in the Nets 97-89 win over the Hornets.

Fantasy Impact: Though it has been in limited games, Johnson attempted single digit shot attempts for the first time since December. His playing time will be something to monitor shortly after the All-Star break.

The Nets are finalizing a buyout with Ben Simmons.

Fantasy Impact: Simmons is likely to draw interest from a contender. He is expected to meet with the Clippers, Rockets and Cavaliers.

Tosan Evbuomwan scored 15 points (6-11 FG, 1-3 3P, 2-4 FT) with five rebounds, an assist, and a block in the Nets' 119-102 loss to the Wizards on Wednesday.

Fantasy Impact: Evbuomwan has now put up at least 14 points in back-to-back games and in four of his last five. He's tough to gauge for fantasy, as his role could change with the trade deadline, but he's looking to make the case as a fringe fill-in player for fantasy leagues.

Keon Johnson delivered another productive performance on Tuesday, contributing 22 points, four rebounds, two assists, two steals, one blocked shot, and three three-pointers in 29 minutes. He once again led his team in scoring while adding key counting stats that helped secure the victory.

Fantasy Impact: Over the past two weeks, Johnson has emerged as the team’s leading scorer, steadily climbing into the top 100 in per-game fantasy hoops value. His well-rounded production across multiple categories makes him a reliable asset for fantasy managers looking for consistent returns as the season progresses.

Fantasy Impact: Clowney suffered an ankle injury earlier this week. Day’Ron Sharpe should continue to take on more minutes in his absence.

Cam Thomas is expected to return shortly after the All-Star break. (Source: Michael Scotto on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Thomas has played in just two games since November 25. The Nets rotation will remain short-handed with Cam Johnson also still sidelined.

Jalen Wilson contributed 15 points (4-of-16 FG, 0-of-6 3Pt, 7-of-7 FT), two rebounds, four assists, and one steal across 40 minutes in Monday’s loss to the Kings.

Fantasy Impact: Wilson stepped into a larger role with Cameron Johnson (ankle) sidelined but struggled to make an impact offensively, shooting just 25% from the field. Despite leading the team in shot attempts, the 24-year-old salvaged his scoring output with seven free throws. While his extended minutes and increased usage are intriguing, Wilson’s inefficiency and lack of peripheral production limit his appeal outside of deep leagues. He remains a temporary option until Johnson returns.

Fantasy Impact: Williams will be available to play on Saturday after missing the last two games because of an ankle injury. D'Angelo Russell (personal) and Ben Simmons (illness) are both also active against the Heat, so Williams isn't going to play a prominent role in Brooklyn's rotation.

Tyrese Martin scored 15 points (6-12 FG, 3-7 3P) with six rebounds and two assists in the Nets' 127-101 loss to the Thunder on Sunday.

Fantasy Impact: Martin put up nearly as many points in this contest as his previous three games combined. Before that, he had a nice run of five games where he averaged 14.6 points, 6.4 rebounds, and 2.6 assists per game. Should the Nets trade away some assets at the deadline, Martin could become a nice value later on in the season should he stay on the Nets and see his role expand.

Fantasy Impact: Whitehead was absent from Brooklyn's last game while in the NBA's concussion protocols. He still hasn't been fully cleared to play, but his questionable tag for Sunday indicates that he's nearing a return. His status won't have much of an impact for fantasy purposes, as he isn't a big part of Brooklyn's rotation typically.

Shake Milton has been traded to the Los Angeles Lakers alongside Dorian Finney-Smith. The Nets will receive D'Angelo Russell, Maxwell Lewis, and three second-round picks. (Source: Shams Charania on X)

Fantasy Impact: Milton heads to the Lakers with a likely reduced overall role compared to what he saw in Brooklyn recently. He'll compete with Gabe Vincent and Dalton Knecht off the bench in the backcourt.

Dorian Finney-Smith has been traded alongside Shake Milton to the Los Angeles Lakers. D'Angelo Russell, Maxwell Lewis, and three second-round picks head to the Nets. (Source: Shams Charania on X)

Fantasy Impact: Finney-Smith has had a solid season with the Nets and will look to improve the Lakers' frontcourt. It's unclear if he will get the opportunity to start, but he should play an important role for the Lakers in the future.

The Brooklyn Nets are finalizing a deal to send guard Dennis Schroder and one second-round pick to the Golden State Warriors for De'Anthony Melton and three second-round picks. (Source: Shams Charania on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: The Warriors have slowed down in recent games after a strong start to the season. Schroder will help take some pressure off of Steph Curry in the Warriors back court as both a playmaker and scorer.
