Brooklyn Nets DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports that Brooklyn Nets forwardCameron Johnson(ankle) injured his right ankle during the closing seconds of Thursday's 113-110 victory over the Bucks. According to Lewis, Johnson's injury occurred while battling for a rebound with teammateZiaire Williams. Lewis also mentioned Johnson had X-rays and underwent imaging on the ankle, which came back negative. However, he left the arena on crutches, likely meaning he will be doubtful for Saturday's game against the 76ers. Keon Johnson could be in line for extra minutes if the 28-year-old is unavailable.

Brooklyn Nets guard/forward Cam Thomas (hamstring) will be in the lineup on Thursday against Milwaukee. The talented scorer has just returned from a hamstring strain and sat out Wednesday's contest against Toronto for injury management purposes. Thomas made his comeback from a 13-game absence in a bench role on Sunday against Orlando. Still, he provided plenty to fantasy managers in 25 minutes, notching 25 points with six rebounds and five assists. The Bucks know all about Thomas' quality after giving up 32 points to the 23-year-old in a 115-102 loss on Oct. 27.

Brooklyn Nets guard Ziaire Williams (knee) has been sidelined for the last 12 games due to a left knee sprain, but he is not listed on the team's injury report for Thursday night against the Bucks. Williams hasn't played since December 1, so the 23-year-old may need some time to ramp up to a full workload, but the Nets could have available minutes on the wing after all their trades and roster shuffling. Noah Clowney (back) is also questionable for Thursday while Ben Simmons (injury management) is out, which could open up more time for Williams. After being traded from the Grizzlies to the Nets, Williams has averaged 8.6 points, 4.4 rebounds, 1.1 assists, and 1.0 steals in 21.9 minutes over 21 games for the Nets. His return could eventually take time away from Keon Johnson and Tyrese Martin.

According to Meghan Triplett of YES Network, Brooklyn Nets forwardZiaire Williams(knee) won't suit up against the Toronto Raptors on Wednesday. Williams will miss his 12th straight game due to a left knee strain. However, he practiced on Tuesday with no restrictions, which set him up to potentially play against the Bucks on Thursday. Before his injury, the 23-year-old averaged 8.6 points, 4.4 rebounds, 1.1 assists, and 1.0 steals in 21.9 minutes across 21 games.

Brooklyn Nets guard Cam Thomas (hamstring) returned from a 13-game absence on Sunday, but he was listed as out due to left-hamstring injury management for Wednesday's game in Toronto. In his return, Thomas looked great with 25 points, six rebounds, and five assists in 25 minutes, but he'll take a break Wednesday on the front half of the team's back-to-back that finishes Thursday with a game in Milwaukee against the Bucks. Without Thomas, Keon Johnson and Tyrese Martin will likely get more work in the backcourt and be viable, cheap DFS plays. Ziaire Williams could also help carry the load if he is ready to return from an extended absence due to a left knee sprain suffered on Dec. 1.
