Brooklyn Nets DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Brooklyn Nets guard/forward Cam Thomas (ankle) has been ruled out for Tuesday's clash with Orlando. The young scoring machine sprained his right ankle on Monday versus Memphis and will miss his 10th game of the season. With Ben Simmons (back) resting on the second night of a back-to-back, we should get a heavy dosage of Dennis Schroder on the Brooklyn backcourt. Dennis Smith Jr. and Lonnie Walker IV are also in a position to pick up extra shifts.

Brooklyn Nets guard Cam Thomas (ankle) was ruled out for the remainder of Monday's game against Memphis. He amassed 14 points, five assists, and a steal in 29 minutes. However, with the game seemingly out of reach, Thomas injured his right ankle late in the fourth quarter and needed assistance to the locker room. The Nets play again on Tuesday night. But fantasy managers shouldn't expect to see him out there, barring a miracle. That said, interim head coach Kevin Ollie has gone deep into his bench since taking over, although guys like Lonnie Walker IV, Dennis Smith Jr., and Cameron Johnson should benefit the most if Thomas doesn't suit up.

Philadelphia 76ers guard De'Anthony Melton (back) is available ahead of Friday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Melton has been sidelined since January 12, but will make his return to the court here. The expectation is that Melton is going to be under a minutes restriction during his first game back. He won't be worth looking at as a possible streaming option until he gets back up to full speed.

Philadelphia 76ers guard De'Anthony Melton (back) won't play on Thursday versus the Knicks. However, the 25-year-old will return to the court on Friday against the Cavaliers. Melton has been sidelined for over a month because of a back issue, so there's a good chance he'll be limited in his first game back. With Kyle Lowry also recently signing with the team, fantasy managers may want to consider other options before adding Melton to the starting lineup, at least until it's clear what his role will be with a reconfigured roster.

Philadelphia 76ers guard De'Anthony Melton (back) is out for Thursday's game against the New York Knicks. The Sixers ruled out Melton on Wednesday evening, but the 25-year-old guard put in a full practice and will aim to return on Friday versus the Cleveland Cavaliers. Kelly Oubre Jr. should remain rostered in fantasy basketball, but he'll take on a Knicks squad that's surrendering the third-fewest points per game (109.9) in the NBA during the 2023-24 campaign.
