Brooklyn Nets DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Brooklyn Nets forward Cameron Johnson (toe) is out for Monday's tilt against the Indiana Pacers. After getting 20 minutes in his first game back from a sprained left big toe during Sunday's loss to the visiting Los Angeles Lakers, Johnson is unavailable for the second night of Brooklyn's back-to-back and will miss his fourth out of the last five outings. The Nets host the Pacers for a rematch on Wednesday, marking the two-way wing's next chance to return. Trendon Watford looks to have the makings of a potential "silly season" hero, averaging 14.3 points, 5.8 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 1.0 steals, and 1.0 triples covering his past four appearances for the Nets. Indiana is yielding the second-most FanDuel points to opposing power forwards, making Watford a solid streamer for the start of fantasy's final round on Monday.

Brooklyn Nets forward Cameron Johnson (toe) will end a three-game absence on Sunday versus the Lakers. He's returning to work after recovering from a sprained toe. Johnson is expected to take back his starting position from Dorian Finney-Smith. Following a couple of mediocre months, Johnson has been back in form in March, averaging 14.0 points and 4.1 rebounds with 41.1 percent shooting from downtown. He should have a good opportunity to make damage from deep on Sunday, as the Lakers allow the third-most three-point attempts in the league.

Brooklyn Nets forward Cameron Johnson (toe) is questionable for Sunday's matchup with the Lakers. He's been sidelined the last few games because of a left-toe sprain. But even if Johnson is back in the lineup, he's averaged only 13.7 points and 4.4 rebounds during the 2023-24 campaign, so he'll be hard to trust from a fantasy perspective. With that in mind, if Johnson doesn't return on Sunday, Dorian Finney-Smith will likely remain in the starting lineup. At the same time, Trendon Watford, coming off an 11-point, five-rebound, two-steal performance in Friday's win over the Bulls, remains a viable DFS value option.

Memphis Grizzlies forward Ziaire Williams (hip/back) is the second player on the team to be deemed unlikely to be back for the rest of this season. Teammate Derrick Rose (groin) is the other one who is likely to watch from the sidelines for the last couple of weeks as the Grizzlies shut down anyone who's not one hundred percent healthy. The third-year forward has already missed 22 games so far this year, so it's more beneficial to the team to let him rest until next season when they have a healthier roster. In the meantime, Lamar Stevens, Jake LaRavia, and Scottie Pippen Jr. will be better streaming options to finish out the season.

Brooklyn Nets forward Cameron Johnson (toe) was officially ruled out for Friday's game against the Chicago Bulls. Johnson is having a disappointing season, and it only grows worse with more injury woes. Brooklyn sees Johnson missing his third consecutive game and his 19th game out of 74 total games. A left-toe sprain will see the Nets being cautious as they fall further out of the Play-In race. Dorian Finney-Smith gets more playing time without Johnson competing for the same spot in the lineup. Brooklyn has also increased the minutes for role players Jalen Wilson, Trendon Watford, and Noah Clowney in recent games with Johnson out.
