Brooklyn Nets forward Cameron Johnson (toe) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Washington Wizards, as he continues to be hampered by a sprained toe. This will be the second straight game that Johnson will miss because of the injury. The 28-year-old sharpshooter was shooting well from beyond the arc in the previous two games, so the Nets and fantasy owners hope to have him back in the lineup soon. His absence will continue to likely open up minutes for Dorian Finney-Smith, Trendon Watford, and Jalen Wilson.
Brooklyn Nets guard Cam Thomas (back) is questionable for Wednesday's game in Washington. Cameron Johnson (toe) and Dennis Smith Jr. (hip) were ruled out shortly before Monday's win over Toronto. Unfortunately, the Nets would lose another of their core players heading into that one, with Thomas suffering lower back tightness during pre-game warmups. As a result, Jalen Wilson moved into the starting lineup and finished with 11 points, five rebounds, one steal, and one block in 30 minutes. However, Dennis Schroder had a team-high 19 points and seven assists. Nonetheless, if Thomas is out against the Wizards, Schroder is a lock for any fantasy lineup, while guys like Wilson, Trendon Watford, and Dorian Finney-Smith will have DFS value potential.
Brooklyn Nets guard Cam Thomas (back) won't play on Monday against Toronto. He wasn't listed on the injury report, so the back issue likely flared up during pregame activities. The Nets were already down Cameron Johnson (toe), and now the team will be without another one of their top performers. Of course, Mikal Bridges should pick up some of the slack. At the same time, Dennis Schroder and Dorian Finney-Smith should also see an uptick in fantasy production, with Jalen Wilson now on the radar as a DFS value option.
Brooklyn Nets forward Cameron Johnson (toe) will miss his 17th game of the season on Monday as he deals with a toe sprain. Johnson was able to play a full 31 minutes in their last game and registered 13 points, two rebounds, two assists, and one steal. He has since picked up the toe sprain, so the Nets will have to fill his starting role. Dorian Finney-Smith will likely be the one to move into the starting five since Mikal Bridges, Cam Thomas, and Dennis Schroder will take care of the backcourt duties. Lonnie Walker IV will be the first one off of the bench since Dennis Smith Jr. (hip) is also out, but he's a risky streaming option as a reserve.
Brooklyn Nets forward Cameron Johnson will draw the starting nod versus the Milwaukee Bucks on Thursday. The Nets are still without Dorian Finney-Smith (ankle), which means Johnson gets another start. Johnson has played fairly well over the last few games. He has scored in double digits in four straight games. He's worth a look as a low-end streaming option while Finney-Smith is out.
