According to Brian Lewis of the New York Post, Brooklyn Nets guard Cam Thomas (ankle) underwent an MRI on Tuesday. However, the team is still awaiting the results. The 22-year-old injured his ankle during Monday's decisive win over the Memphis Grizzlies and was ruled out late in the fourth quarter. He won't play on Tuesday against Orlando, although fantasy managers could be without him longer. As a result, Lonnie Walker IV might be involved enough to warrant consideration for managers in deep fantasy setups. There's also a chance Cameron Johnson returns to the starting lineup, with the former logging fewer than 25 minutes in each of his last four games.
Brooklyn Nets guard/forward Ben Simmons (back) will be rested for Tuesday's clash versus Orlando. He managed to shake off a sore left leg on Monday to play 14 minutes against Memphis, but the team will keep him out of action on Tuesday to manage his back injury. Cam Thomas (ankle) has also been ruled out, meaning a busy night at the office is on the horizon for Dennis Schroder, while Dennis Smith Jr., Lonnie Walker IV, and Cameron Johnson could also pick up some of the available minutes.
Brooklyn Nets guard/forward Cam Thomas (ankle) has been ruled out for Tuesday's clash with Orlando. The young scoring machine sprained his right ankle on Monday versus Memphis and will miss his 10th game of the season. With Ben Simmons (back) resting on the second night of a back-to-back, we should get a heavy dosage of Dennis Schroder on the Brooklyn backcourt. Dennis Smith Jr. and Lonnie Walker IV are also in a position to pick up extra shifts.
Brooklyn Nets guard Cam Thomas (ankle) was ruled out for the remainder of Monday's game against Memphis. He amassed 14 points, five assists, and a steal in 29 minutes. However, with the game seemingly out of reach, Thomas injured his right ankle late in the fourth quarter and needed assistance to the locker room. The Nets play again on Tuesday night. But fantasy managers shouldn't expect to see him out there, barring a miracle. That said, interim head coach Kevin Ollie has gone deep into his bench since taking over, although guys like Lonnie Walker IV, Dennis Smith Jr., and Cameron Johnson should benefit the most if Thomas doesn't suit up.
Brooklyn Nets forward Ben Simmons (leg) will play in his third consecutive game on Monday against the Memphis Grizzlies. The point forward was originally listed as questionable due to lower leg soreness for this game, but it seems like the pain isn't enough to force him to stay on the sidelines. In the last two games, Simmons played 15 and 21 minutes respectively while joining the starting five. He's likely to remain in the same role but might see fewer minutes if the team desperately needs offense. While he's been able to collect a good amount of stats outside of scoring, his play has been too inconsistent to trust in most fantasy leagues right now.
