Brooklyn Nets DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Brooklyn Nets guard/forward Cam Thomas (back) will be back on the court Wednesday versus Washington. He was initially regarded as questionable for the game after Thomas was a late scratch for Monday's meeting with Toronto. Thomas has had a great campaign, leading his team with 21.5 points per game, and he should be in full flow on Wednesday in a pace-up spot against one of the worst defensive teams in the league. Jalen Wilson had an opportunity to start on Monday with Thomas missing and looks set to head back to the bench versus the Wizards, where he doesn't carry any fantasy appeal.

Brooklyn Nets forward Cameron Johnson (toe) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Washington Wizards, as he continues to be hampered by a sprained toe. This will be the second straight game that Johnson will miss because of the injury. The 28-year-old sharpshooter was shooting well from beyond the arc in the previous two games, so the Nets and fantasy owners hope to have him back in the lineup soon. His absence will continue to likely open up minutes for Dorian Finney-Smith, Trendon Watford, and Jalen Wilson.

Brooklyn Nets guard Cam Thomas (back) is questionable for Wednesday's game in Washington. Cameron Johnson (toe) and Dennis Smith Jr. (hip) were ruled out shortly before Monday's win over Toronto. Unfortunately, the Nets would lose another of their core players heading into that one, with Thomas suffering lower back tightness during pre-game warmups. As a result, Jalen Wilson moved into the starting lineup and finished with 11 points, five rebounds, one steal, and one block in 30 minutes. However, Dennis Schroder had a team-high 19 points and seven assists. Nonetheless, if Thomas is out against the Wizards, Schroder is a lock for any fantasy lineup, while guys like Wilson, Trendon Watford, and Dorian Finney-Smith will have DFS value potential.

Los Angeles Lakers guard D'Angelo Russell isn't listed on the injury report heading into Tuesday's meeting with the Milwaukee Bucks. He was ruled out shortly before Sunday's win over the Indiana Pacers because of a non-COVID-illness. As a result, Spencer Dinwiddie started and finished with 26 points, five assists, two blocks, and one steal. With LeBron James (ankle) not expected to suit up on Tuesday night, Russell will command attention from DFS managers, considering he could smash his value. At the same time, James' anticipated absence should keep the door open for Dinwiddie to remain involved enough to stay on the fantasy radar.

Brooklyn Nets guard Cam Thomas (back) won't play on Monday against Toronto. He wasn't listed on the injury report, so the back issue likely flared up during pregame activities. The Nets were already down Cameron Johnson (toe), and now the team will be without another one of their top performers. Of course, Mikal Bridges should pick up some of the slack. At the same time, Dennis Schroder and Dorian Finney-Smith should also see an uptick in fantasy production, with Jalen Wilson now on the radar as a DFS value option.
