Nic

Claxton

Claxton hasn’t done much scoring recently, failing to crack double figures in four of his last five outings. However, he has 15 assists over his last two games and has recorded at least five in 16 games this season. By comparison, Claxton had four such games the entirety of the 2024-25 season. Claxton has been a top-100 player over the past two weeks.

Since Nic Claxton (six points, six rebounds, one assist, two steals and one blocked shot) was available, Sharpe was consigned to the bench on Sunday. However, he still posted a solid stat line, including a career-high four steals — his third time reaching this mark. While Sharpe’s fantasy ceiling right now depends on Claxton’s availability, he has the look of a player who could be a standout during the “silly season.” The Nets play four games in Week 15, including a midweek back-to-back, so now is a good time for deep-league managers to kick the tires on Sharpe.

Sharpe sat out Monday’s loss to Phoenix, but he’ll be back after a one-game absence. Sharpe’s availability should mean a decrease in playing time for Nic Claxton, who logged 37 minutes against the Suns.

Sharpe was not available for Monday’s loss to the Suns, which factored into starting center Nic Claxton playing 37 minutes. While Danny Wolf and Jalen Wilson can absorb a few of the minutes that would usually go to Sharpe, his availability affects Claxton, who should already be rostered in standard leagues, the most.

Claxton is averaging career-highs in points and assists, with the latter category being more surprising. The Nets’ center, who entered Monday averaging 4.1 assists per game, has recorded four or more in six of his last seven appearances. Unfortunately, Claxton has shot 40 percent from the foul line over the past two weeks, which limits his value in roster builds where that category is not being punted.

After missing two games for personal reasons, Claxton was on a minutes restriction for Wednesday’s loss to the Magic. For that reason, he was brought off the bench with Day’Ron Sharpe remaining in the starting lineup. Claxton will return to the lineup on Friday, bumping Sharpe to the bench.

Nets coach Jordi Fernandez didn’t give a specific number, but after missing two games, Claxton will be slightly limited for only one game. He will go back to his normal workload against the Clippers on Friday. Day’Ron Sharpe will likely head back to the bench, but he should still play a decent role in this game.

After missing the last two games for personal reasons, Claxton is absent from the Nets’ injury report. His return means that Day’Ron Sharpe will head to the bench, lowering his fantasy value.

Claxton remains away from the team for personal reasons, with Sunday’s game being the second that he will miss. Day’Ron Sharpe stepped into the starting lineup for Friday’s loss to the Wizards, logging 30 minutes. Given the workload, he is worth streaming as long as Claxton is unavailable.

Claxton will be unavailable for the first time this season. Both Noah Clowney and Danny Wolf started alongside Claxton in Brooklyn’s last game, while Day’Ron Sharpe played 19 minutes off the bench in the blowout loss. All three stand to benefit from Claxton’s absence, though Clowney should be the best option for fantasy managers.
