Brooklyn Nets DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Philadelphia 76ers guard De'Anthony Melton (back) has been ruled out for the rest of Tuesday's game against the Boston Celtics. Melton missed nearly a month of action due to a back issue. Now, he's sidelined again after only nine minutes during Tuesday's game. Kyle Lowry is still under a minutes restriction. That means, Cameron Payne should see an increased role off the bench with Melton being unable to finish this contest. Despite the increased role, Payne won't be worth a look in most fantasy formats.

According to Brian Lewis of the New York Post, Brooklyn Nets guard Cam Thomas (ankle) underwent an MRI on Tuesday. However, the team is still awaiting the results. The 22-year-old injured his ankle during Monday's decisive win over the Memphis Grizzlies and was ruled out late in the fourth quarter. He won't play on Tuesday against Orlando, although fantasy managers could be without him longer. As a result, Lonnie Walker IV might be involved enough to warrant consideration for managers in deep fantasy setups. There's also a chance Cameron Johnson returns to the starting lineup, with the former logging fewer than 25 minutes in each of his last four games.

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.
