Brooklyn Nets DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

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.

Brooklyn Nets forward Cameron Johnson (hip) didn't return to Sunday's loss to the Magic. The former Tar Heel is having a career-year, averaging 19.5 points and shooting 42.9% from behind the arc. He has also missed only two games after appearing in only 58 contests during the 2023-24 campaign. But with Johnson now dealing with left hip soreness after missing Friday's game because of a right hip contusion, there's a good chance he won't be on the floor versus the Toronto Raptors on Wednesday. Fortunately, Cam Thomas (hamstring) returned from a lengthy stint on the shelf. D'Angelo Russell, recently acquired from the Lakers, Keon Johnson, and Noah Clowney may also be in line for more scoring opportunities. .

Brooklyn Nets forward Cameron Johnson (hip) is available for Sunday's game against the Orlando Magic. Johnson is back in the mix after missing their last game due to a right hip contusion. He has been the primary scoring option with Cam Thomas (hamstring) sidelined for the last few weeks. However, Thomas is back for Sunday's game, so Johnson will probably see a reduced role on offense going forward. Despite that, Johnson is still an important piece to this roster and should be started in most fantasy formats.

Brooklyn Nets guard Cam Thomas (hamstring) is available for Sunday's game against the Orlando Magic. Thomas is back in the mix after missing the last 13 games due to a strained left hamstring. The assumption is that Thomas is going to be operating under a minutes limit during his first game back. That being said, Thomas won't be an ideal DFS option for Sunday, but fantasy managers in season-long formats can get him back in their lineups. He should be back up to full speed after a game or two.
