Brooklyn Nets DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Brooklyn Nets forward Cameron Johnson (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday night against the Los Angeles Clippers. Johnson had missed five straight games before returning Tuesday night when he put up 24 points against Portland. Given this is the second leg of a back-to-back for Brooklyn his absence shouldn't be surprising as the Nets monitor his ankle injury. In his absence expect D'Angelo Russell to pick up the volume from three.

Brooklyn Nets forward Cameron Johnson (ankle) has been upgraded to available ahead of Tuesday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. Johnson will make his return to the court after missing each of the last five games due to a right ankle sprain. His return is a welcoming sight with Nicolas Claxton (hamstring) heading to the sideline on Tuesday. Johnson figures to return to his normal role in the rotation which is usually around 32 minutes. Before going down, Johnson posted back-to-back games with 20-plus points, so hopefully he didn't lose any momentum with the time off. Fantasy managers can get him back in their lineups on Tuesday.

Brooklyn Nets guard D'Angelo Russell (shin) has been upgraded to available ahead of Tuesday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. Russell is back in the mix after missing each of the last four games due to a shin contusion. Before this, Russell was in a bit of a slump with 11 points or less in three of his last four games. It doesn't seem like the move to Brooklyn as helped his scoring, but he does seem to be getting more assists as one of the primary playmakers. Fantasy managers who have Russell rostered can get him back in their lineups on Tuesday.

Brooklyn Nets center Nicolas Claxton (hamstring) has been ruled out ahead of Tuesday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. Claxton was listed as questionable coming into this game, but will ultimately sit out due to a right hamstring The severity of the issue is unknown, so Claxton will at least miss one game due to this issue. Noah Clowney figures to take over as the starting center on Tuesday. Clowney finished with five rebounds and zero points in 32 minutes during his last game. He figures to see around the same amount of playing time, but he isn't an ideal streaming option after his dud last time out.

Brooklyn Nets forward Cameron Johnson (ankle) is questionable for Tuesday's meeting with the Blazers. The 28-year-old has had the best season of his career in 2024-25. He also stayed relatively healthy until missing the last five games because of a sprained right ankle. The Nets are hurting entering Tuesday night, with D'Angelo Russell (shin), Ben Simmons (back, knee), and Nicolas Claxton (hamstring) all questionable in addition to Cam Thomas (hamstring) still sidelined. As a result, Ziaire Williams, Keon Johnson, Noah Clowney, and Tosan Evbuomwan could continue to benefit on the scoring end.
