Brooklyn Nets DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Philadelphia 76ers guard De'Anthony Melton (back) will be re-evaluated in two weeks. The 25-year-old has averaged a career-high 11.5 points this season. But considering the nature of his injury, there's a chance he may not play again during the 2023-24 campaign. Additionally, the 76ers' roster looks slightly different, so Melton could have a tough time being as productive as he was before he went down with the injury. With this in mind, fantasy managers can drop him from their rosters.

Brooklyn Nets guard Cam Thomas (ankle, foot) won't play on Thursday against Detroit. Thomas has had a career-year, averaging 20.9 points. Unfortunately for fantasy managers, the 22-year-old has missed 14 games. With no end in sight, he could remain off the floor for Brooklyn's upcoming games versus Charlotte and Cleveland. Cameron Johnson (ankle) also won't suit up on Thursday night, meaning Dorian Finney-Smith and Lonnie Walker IV could be on the floor more than usual, making both men viable fantasy streaming options.

Brooklyn Nets center Day'Ron Sharpe (wrist) is questionable for Thursday's contest against the Detroit Pistons. The 22-year-old has had the best season of his career, averaging 7.3 points and 6.7 rebounds. But he's also missed plenty of time this season. His most recent ailment, a sprained wrist, occurred on Monday versus Memphis. As a result, he wasn't in the lineup on Tuesday in the win over Philadelphia. With Ben Simmons (back) also out, Nicolas Claxton could see more minutes than usual, which is never a bad thing for fantasy purposes. Sharpe's potential absence might open the door for Jalen Wilson to see more action. Unfortunately, Wilson hasn't done enough to earn a spot in nearly all fantasy lineups.

Brooklyn Nets forward Cameron Johnson (ankle) won't play on Thursday versus Detroit. He sprained his right ankle during Tuesday's win over the Philadelphia 76ers, ending his night after only eight minutes of work. The 28-year-old averaged a career-high 16.6 points in Brooklyn last season. However, Johnson has logged nearly three points less during the 2023-24 campaign. He's also missed 13 games, and he'll likely miss more time moving ahead, including upcoming meetings with Charlotte and Cleveland. That said, Johnson is still worth stashing in all fantasy formats. But until the former Sun returns, Lonnie Walker IV, coming off a 19-point effort on Tuesday, is worth streaming across the board.

Memphis Grizzlies small forward Ziaire Williams (back) will be out for the rest of the month after the team announced that he would be re-evaluated in four weeks. The 22-year-old has been diagnosed with a Grade 2 strain of a hip flexor and his lower back. He was already forced to miss Monday's matchup against Brooklyn. Williams had made six consecutive starts with the Grizzlies before getting hurt. John Konchar took on the role of a starter without Williams on Monday, with Jake LaRavia also getting a big boost in playing time off the bench. Konchar tends to be quite anonymous on the court, but LaRavia is an interesting guy to monitor. He had a double-double in 29 minutes on Monday, and his recent efforts also include a 21-point outing versus Portland.
