Brooklyn Nets

Brooklyn Nets guard Cam Thomas (ankle/foot) won't play in Tuesday's game versus the Philadelphia 76ers. Missing a fifth consecutive outing due to a right ankle/midfoot sprain, Thomas sets his sights toward returning on Thursday against the Detroit Pistons for the start of Brooklyn's six-game road trip. The 22-year-old scoring machine had started his last 13 games for the Nets, delivering 21.9 points, 3.5 assists, 2.4 threes, and 1.2 steals in 33.6 minutes per contest over this period. With Ben Simmons (back) also out on Tuesday, Dennis Schroder remains in play as a strong fantasy streamer for points, assists, and treys. Over Schroder's last five games (all starts), he's averaging 16.6 points, 6.2 dimes, and 3.2 triples while shooting a scorching 61.5% from deep in 30.0 minutes.

Brooklyn Nets guard/forward Ben Simmons (back) remains out for Tuesday's contest versus the Philadelphia 76ers. After originally being listed with leg soreness for some of his prior absences, Simmons is now once again dealing with a nerve impingement in his left lower back that kept him on the shelf for nearly three months between November and January. In nine games (six starts) since Jan. 29, the 27-year-old former All-Star is producing a mere 5.9 points on 63.2% shooting from the floor, 6.0 rebounds, 5.1 assists, and 1.0 steals in 18.7 minutes per contest. Consider him questionable at best for Thursday's tilt against the Detroit Pistons. Cameron Johnson has started Brooklyn's past four games in Simmons' stead, averaging 19.9 points, 3.8 three-pointers on 46.9% shooting from downtown, and 1.5 swipes during 31.8 minutes.

Brooklyn Nets guard/forward Ben Simmons (back) has been ruled out for Monday's matchup against Memphis. He will miss a fourth consecutive contest. Simmons' absence has helped Dennis Schroder nail down a starting role, while Dennis Smith Jr. has logged at least 20 minutes off the Nets bench in the last three games Simmons has missed. We should see multiple Brooklyn players shine on Monday, as the team is considered a nine-point favorite against the depleted Grizzlies.

Memphis Grizzlies small forward Ziaire Williams (hip) won't play on Monday against Brooklyn. The 22-year-old was injured in the previous game against Portland and steps out of the lineup with a right hip flexor strain. Williams has played a significant role for the Grizzlies lately, starting in six consecutive games. He's shown flashes of good upside, averaging 10.3 points and 5.4 rebounds in 15 starts across the season. The Memphis rotation is more unpredictable than the weather, but the likes of Jake LaRavia, John Konchar, and Luke Kennard might get extra opportunities without Williams.

Brooklyn Nets guard Cam Thomas (ankle, foot) won't play in Monday's matchup with Memphis. The 22-year-old injured his ankle and foot late in a meeting with the Grizzlies a week ago, keeping him off the floor for Brooklyn's previous three contests. As a result, Dennis Schroder has been more involved offensively. However, with Ben Simmons (leg) potentially returning on Monday, Schroder's workload and contributions on the scoring end might plummet. On the other hand, Mikal Bridges and Cameron Johnson, combining for 61 points on Saturday in the win over Atlanta, should remain in all fantasy lineups.
