Brooklyn Nets DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Brooklyn Nets guard Cam Thomas (hamstring) sustained a new hamstring strain against the Milwaukee Bucks on Thursday and will be re-evaluated after the team's upcoming west coast road trip, according to the team. The Nets' final game of that road trip is January 19th in Oklahoma City, sidelining Thomas for at least two weeks before being re-evaluated. Thomas strained his left hamstring, which is the same hamstring that caused him to miss all but one game in December. The 23-year-old has been a dynamic offensive scorer when healthy but has only been able to play in 19 of Brooklyn's 34 games this season. In his absence, expect newly acquired D'Angelo Russell to get extended run at point guard.

Brooklyn Nets forward Cameron Johnson (ankle) has been ruled out for Saturday night's game against the Philadelphia 76ers and will miss the next three games according to the team. Johnson sustained a right ankle sprain against Milwaukee in their last game. The 28-year-old has been solid for Brooklyn when healthy, averaging 19.5 PPG this season. The timing of the injury may stall some potential trade talks as Johnson's name has been rumored to be one of the next that Brooklyn might ship out during their fire sale. In Johnson's absence, expect Ziaire Williams to get more run with the team. Williams was just able to return from a 12-game absence after dealing with a knee sprain and has only averaged 8.6 PPG this season. He will be an intriguing fantasy option going forward but will carry a bit of volatility with him. Fantasy managers need to take caution before inserting Williams into their lineups.

Brooklyn Nets guard Cam Thomas (hamstring) is questionable for Saturday's meeting with the 76ers. The 23-year-old missed over a month because of a hamstring strain. However, he has appeared in two games since returning, most recently amassing 24 points, seven rebounds, and two steals on Thursday against the Milwaukee Bucks. With Cameron Thomas (ankle) doubtful, the Nets may need more production from Ben Simmons, Nicolas Claxton, Jalen Wilson, and D'Angelo Russell, who has averaged 16.5 points, 10.0 assists, and 1.5 steals in two games since returning to Brooklyn.

Brooklyn Nets forward Cameron Johnson (ankle) is officially listed as doubtful for Saturday's game against the 76ers. Johnson has had the best year of his career, most recently scoring 26 points and going 6-for-12 from deep in Thursday's narrow win over the Milwaukee Bucks. Unfortunately, he tweaked his ankle near the end of the contest, putting his availability versus Philadelphia in doubt. With Cameron Thomas (hamstring) questionable, everyone in the Nets' starting lineup could be in line for more production, although D'Angelo Russell, Nicolas Claxton, and Jalen Wilson may benefit the most from a statistical standpoint.

Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports that Brooklyn Nets forwardCameron Johnson(ankle) injured his right ankle during the closing seconds of Thursday's 113-110 victory over the Bucks. According to Lewis, Johnson's injury occurred while battling for a rebound with teammateZiaire Williams. Lewis also mentioned Johnson had X-rays and underwent imaging on the ankle, which came back negative. However, he left the arena on crutches, likely meaning he will be doubtful for Saturday's game against the 76ers. Keon Johnson could be in line for extra minutes if the 28-year-old is unavailable.
