Brooklyn Nets DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Philadelphia 76ers guard De'Anthony Melton (back) is questionable for Sunday's game versus the Nets. He's only appeared in seven games since the beginning of 2024 because of a back injury. However, despite playing in Philly's previous two contests, the 25-year-old has logged just over 20 minutes combined. The Sixers need him healthy for the postseason, so Melton might get the afternoon off. More names may be added to the injury report heading into this contest. But Kyle Lowry and Cameron Payne are currently in line for extra work if Melton isn't on the floor for the regular-season finale.

Brooklyn Nets center Day'Ron Sharpe (wrist) won't play on Friday versus the Knicks. He has a wrist injury, although there's no sense in putting him on the floor for a meaningless game for Brooklyn. With Dorian Finney-Smith (knee) also out, Noah Clowney, coming off a 10-point, seven-rebound, seven-block performance, has an even higher ceiling for DFS managers.

Brooklyn Nets forward Cameron Johnson (toe) won't suit up for Friday's encounter with the New York Knicks. The former Sun has been in and out of the lineup over the last few games. However, his injury woes have been the norm all year, so he may not be on the floor for the remainder of the 2023-24 campaign. Fortunately, Noah Clowney, coming off a 10-point, seven-block showing on Wednesday, will be a popular DFS option. Johnson's absence will also open the door for Jalen Wilson and Trendon Watford to get involved enough to enter the DFS value conversation.

Brooklyn Nets guard Jacob Gilyard (hip) is considered probable for Friday's match-up against the New York Knicks. He has been bothered by a left hip contusion recently, but he should be able to suit up for this game. The 25-year-old was available for Wednesday's contest against the Toronto Raptors but never saw a minute of playing time. The last time Gilyard stepped onto the court was on March 27, only playing four minutes in that contest. He is not a consistent part of Brooklyn's rotation, so not much can be expected from him to close out the regular season.

Brooklyn Nets forward Cameron Johnson (toe) is questionable for Friday's meeting with the New York Knicks. The 28-year-old hasn't had the best season, averaging 13.4 points and 4.3 rebounds, both down from the 2022-23 campaign. He's also missed a lot of time due to various ailments, which was a source of frustration for fantasy participants. At any rate, with Dorian Finney-Smith (knee) out, Noah Clowney, coming off a 10-point, seven-block outing in Wednesday's win over Toronto, should see plenty of work. But if Johnson gets ruled out, Jalen Wilson and Trendon Watford would emerge as viable value options for DFS managers.
