Brooklyn Nets

Brooklyn Nets center Nicolas Claxton led all players in rebounds with 10 in Sunday's contest, resulting in a 120-101 victory over the Cavaliers. The 24-year-old earned a double-double and recorded 16 points (7-10 FG, 2-2 FT), three assists, and one steal in 28 minutes on the court. For Claxton, he has logged a double-double in five of the last six games. He is a solid fantasy option at the center position in all fantasy formats.

Brooklyn Nets center Day'Ron Sharpe (wrist) is cleared to return for Saturday's game in Charlotte. The 22-year-old tweaked his wrist in Monday's matchup with the Memphis Grizzlies. As a result, he missed subsequent encounters against the 76ers and Pistons. Sharpe has averaged 7.3 points and 6.7 boards during the 2023-24 campaign. Although those numbers are the best of his career, it still hasn't been enough to make him a reliable fantasy producer. That said, the Nets play again on Sunday, meaning Nicolas Claxton might log fewer minutes than usual if Brooklyn builds a decisive lead over one of the worst teams in the league. With that in mind, Sharpe's fantasy ceiling is slightly higher on Saturday, which could benefit those in need of a streaming option.

Brooklyn Nets guard Cam Thomas (ankle, foot) will play on Saturday against Charlotte. The 22-year-old has averaged a career-high 20.9 points this season, a significant upgrade from the 2022-23 campaign. Unfortunately, he's missed several stretches throughout the year due to various injuries. However, Thomas will be back, and although he may see less work in preparation for Sunday's game versus the Cleveland Cavaliers, he should be in all fantasy lineups. With this in mind, Thomas' return could mean less production from Dennis Schroder, who had 31 points on Thursday in the loss to the Detroit Pistons.

Brooklyn Nets guard Cam Thomas (ankle, foot) is expected to play on Saturday against the Charlotte Hornets. The 22-year-old has been potent on the offensive end throughout the 2023-24 campaign, averaging a career-high 20.9 points. Yet, he's suffered a few injuries this season, with his latest ailment keeping him off the floor for Brooklyn's previous six contests. Although there's a chance Thomas could see fewer minutes in his first game back from the lengthy layoff, his presence may result in fewer scoring chances for Dennis Schroder, who is coming off an impressive 31-point showing in Thursday's loss to the Pistons.

Brooklyn Nets center Day'Ron Sharpe (wrist) is probable for Saturday's game in Charlotte. The 22-year-old sprained his wrist on Monday versus the Grizzlies, keeping him off the floor for meetings with Philadelphia and Detroit. Sharpe has logged just 15.6 minutes per game this season and has averaged 7.3 points and 6.7 rebounds, meaning he hasn't been a consistent fantasy producer. However, Ben Simmons (back) is done for the year, so there are minutes up for grabs. In addition, Brooklyn will meet the Cavs on Sunday night. As a result, Sharpe could get more action, making him a worthwhile fantasy option in deep, category formats, mostly for his rebounding prowess.
