Brooklyn Nets

Brooklyn Nets forward Cameron Johnson (toe) will end a three-game absence on Sunday versus the Lakers. He's returning to work after recovering from a sprained toe. Johnson is expected to take back his starting position from Dorian Finney-Smith. Following a couple of mediocre months, Johnson has been back in form in March, averaging 14.0 points and 4.1 rebounds with 41.1 percent shooting from downtown. He should have a good opportunity to make damage from deep on Sunday, as the Lakers allow the third-most three-point attempts in the league.

Brooklyn Nets forward Cameron Johnson (toe) is questionable for Sunday's matchup with the Lakers. He's been sidelined the last few games because of a left-toe sprain. But even if Johnson is back in the lineup, he's averaged only 13.7 points and 4.4 rebounds during the 2023-24 campaign, so he'll be hard to trust from a fantasy perspective. With that in mind, if Johnson doesn't return on Sunday, Dorian Finney-Smith will likely remain in the starting lineup. At the same time, Trendon Watford, coming off an 11-point, five-rebound, two-steal performance in Friday's win over the Bulls, remains a viable DFS value option.

Memphis Grizzlies forward Ziaire Williams (hip/back) is the second player on the team to be deemed unlikely to be back for the rest of this season. Teammate Derrick Rose (groin) is the other one who is likely to watch from the sidelines for the last couple of weeks as the Grizzlies shut down anyone who's not one hundred percent healthy. The third-year forward has already missed 22 games so far this year, so it's more beneficial to the team to let him rest until next season when they have a healthier roster. In the meantime, Lamar Stevens, Jake LaRavia, and Scottie Pippen Jr. will be better streaming options to finish out the season.

Brooklyn Nets forward Cameron Johnson (toe) was officially ruled out for Friday's game against the Chicago Bulls. Johnson is having a disappointing season, and it only grows worse with more injury woes. Brooklyn sees Johnson missing his third consecutive game and his 19th game out of 74 total games. A left-toe sprain will see the Nets being cautious as they fall further out of the Play-In race. Dorian Finney-Smith gets more playing time without Johnson competing for the same spot in the lineup. Brooklyn has also increased the minutes for role players Jalen Wilson, Trendon Watford, and Noah Clowney in recent games with Johnson out.

Brooklyn Nets guard/forward Cam Thomas (back) will be back on the court Wednesday versus Washington. He was initially regarded as questionable for the game after Thomas was a late scratch for Monday's meeting with Toronto. Thomas has had a great campaign, leading his team with 21.5 points per game, and he should be in full flow on Wednesday in a pace-up spot against one of the worst defensive teams in the league. Jalen Wilson had an opportunity to start on Monday with Thomas missing and looks set to head back to the bench versus the Wizards, where he doesn't carry any fantasy appeal.
