Brooklyn Nets DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

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.

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.
