Brooklyn Nets DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Brooklyn Nets forward Cameron Johnson (toe) won't play on Sunday against Sacramento. Brooklyn isn't going anywhere near the postseason, so there's a good chance the oft-injured Johnson is done for the rest of the 2023-24 campaign. With Dorian Finney-Smith (knee) also out, Noah Clowney, coming off a 17-point performance in Saturday's win over the Pistons, could slide into the starting lineup. There's also DFS value potential for Jalen Wilson and Trendon Watford.

Brooklyn Nets forward Cameron Johnson (toe) is considered doubtful for Saturday's match-up with the Detroit Pistons. The 28-year-old is suffering from a left big toe sprain and is not likely to suit up. Johnson limped to the locker room during Wednesday's game versus the Indiana Pacers but was able to return to the court. He played in two of the last three games for Brooklyn but played below 25 minutes in both. He also scored just five points in both of those games, and it appears the toe injury is a significant concern. More minutes will likely go to Dorian Finney-Smithand Lonnie Walker IV as long as Johnson remains sidelined.

Philadelphia 76ers guard De'Anthony Melton (back) will miss a 19th consecutive contest on Thursday against Miami. He continues to deal with a lumbar spine injury and hasn't played since Feb. 27. Melton's absence has left Philadelphia without a versatile guard who can impact games in many ways. There's no set timeline for Melton's return, but 76ers head coach Nick Nurse recently said that the team is hopeful of getting Melton and Robert Covington (knee, illness) back at some point before the regular season ends. Even if he's available again, Melton might struggle to get playing time, as Philadelphia has added Kyle Lowry, Cameron Payne, and Buddy Hield to the backcourt during his absence.

Brooklyn Nets forward Cameron Johnson (toe) has been upgraded from probable to available for Wednesday's game against the Pacers. Johnson has made only one appearance in the past five games, as health issues are threatening to ruin the final weeks of the regular season for him. Facing the Pacers puts Johnson in a good position to perform, as Indiana likes to run and continues to sit among the league's poorest defensive teams. Trendon Watford will likely play a lesser role with Johnson back in the rotation.

Brooklyn Nets forward Cameron Johnson (toe) is expected to play on Wednesday against Indiana. Johnson has missed four of his last five games, including Monday's versus the Pacers. However, the 28-year-old only logged 20 minutes in Sunday's loss to the Lakers, meaning Trendon Watford, amassing double digit scoring efforts in his previous five games, remains a viable DFS option.
