Ziaire Williams

BKN Small Forward #8

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Ziaire Williams (left ankle sprain) is out for Tuesday’s game against New York.

Williams sprained his ankle during Sunday’s loss to the Thunder and will miss at least one game. Jalen Wilson should see an increase in playing time, potentially as a starter. Due to Brooklyn’s many injuries, he’ll be worth streaming if allowed to start.
D'Angelo Russell

BKN Point Guard #1

D’Angelo Russell (left hamstring tightness injury management) is questionable for Tuesday’s game against the Knicks.

Tuesday’s game is the first of a back-to-back for the Nets, who host the Suns on Wednesday. With Ben Simmons (illness) on track to play against the Knicks, this may be a case in which he plays while Russell gets the night off. That would ensure the Nets have a primary playmaker in their starting lineup.
Ben Simmons

BKN Point Guard #10

Ben Simmons (illness) is probable for Tuesday’s game against the Knicks.

Simmons was a late scratch for Sunday’s loss to the Thunder, with D’Angelo Russell replacing him in the starting lineup. With Russell considered questionable for Tuesday with a hamstring issue, Nets coach Jordi Fernandez may have an easy decision to make regarding his starting lineup.
D'Angelo Russell

BKN Point Guard #1

D’Angelo Russell logged 24 minutes in Sunday’s loss to the Thunder, accounting for nine points (2-of-6 FGs, 5-of-5 FTs), four rebounds, seven assists, and one steal.

Due to Ben Simmons (illness) being a late scratch, Russell was a late addition to the starting lineup. He’s still under a minutes restriction, so the Nets point guard’s minutes would be limited even if Sunday’s game were competitive. With Brooklyn’s three-game Week 13 slate including a back-to-back, Russell could be limited to two appearances, which would not do fantasy managers any favors. His availability impacts Keon Johnson, who finished Sunday’s loss with six points, one rebound, and four assists in 23 minutes off the bench.
Cameron Johnson

BKN Small Forward #2

Cameron Johnson (sprained right ankle) finished Sunday’s loss to the Thunder with 15 points (6-of-11 FGs), two rebounds, two assists, and three 3-pointers in 25 minutes.

Before Sunday, Johnson missed seven of eight games, including each of the last two. He was back in the starting lineup in Oklahoma City, and while he did shoot the ball well, the blowout resulted in fewer minutes on the court. The concerns for fantasy managers who have Johnson are twofold. First, Brooklyn’s three-game Week 13 includes a Tuesday/Wednesday back-to-back. Secondly, he’s been the subject of trade rumors, and while the Nets are reported to have a very high asking price (and may still hold onto him), that may impact how Johnson is used between now and the February 6 deadline.
Ben Simmons

BKN Point Guard #10

Ben Simmons (illness) is no longer active for Sunday’s game against the Thunder.

Announced as a starter despite having his status downgraded to questionable, Simmons has now been removed from the lineup and will not play. D’Angelo Russell will start, giving the Nets a true point guard to begin Sunday’s game. Joining Russell in the starting lineup are Cameron Johnson, Ziaire Williams, Noah Clowney, and Nic Claxton.
Ben Simmons

BKN Point Guard #10

Ben Simmons (illness) is officially in the Nets’ starting lineup for Sunday’s game against the Thunder.

Simmons was a late addition to the Nets’ injury report, but that hasn’t kept the team from officially announcing him as a starter. Fantasy managers concerned about a potential late scratch can leave him on the bench, and that would be an understandable approach to take, given Simmons’ injury history. Cameron Johnson, Ziaire Williams, Noah Clowney, and Nic Claxton are also in the starting lineup.
Ben Simmons

BKN Point Guard #10

Ben Simmons (illness) is now questionable for Sunday’s game against the Thunder.

Simmons was added to the injury report late, with the Nets adding him 30 minutes before the scheduled tip time. If he can’t play, the Nets can move D’Angelo Russell into the starting lineup to serve as the primary playmaker.
Day'Ron Sharpe

BKN Power Forward #20

Day’Ron Sharpe (right eye injury) is available for Sunday’s game against Oklahoma City.

Sharpe was limited to 14 minutes in Friday’s loss to the Lakers, with fellow reserves Jalen Wilson and Tosan Evbuomwan playing 27 apiece. Evbuomwan will likely lose out on minutes with Sharpe available, but all three reserves should be in the Nets’ rotation.
Cameron Johnson

BKN Small Forward #2

Cameron Johnson (right ankle sprain) is available for Sunday’s game against the Thunder.

Johnson has missed seven of the last eight games for Brooklyn. His return will push Ziaire Williams back to the bench with his fantasy value taking a hit, though he’ll remain in the playing rotation. Johnson’s return is a welcome sight for the Nets and fantasy managers as the team hasn’t been very competitive in his absence.
