Cam Thomas's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

There is optimism within the Brooklyn Nets that guard Cam Thomas (ankle/foot), who is out on Thursday against the Detroit Pistons, could return in one of the next two games. The Nets have a back-to-back set on Saturday against the Charlotte Hornets and Sunday against the Cleveland Cavaliers, so fantasy managers could get the 22-year-old walking bucket back this weekend. Dennis Schroder has stepped up in Thomas' stead, starting Brooklyn's last six games and averaging 17.2 points, 6.5 assists, and 2.8 threes on 58.6% shooting from deep in 30.8 minutes across this stretch ahead of an optimal matchup against a Pistons squad surrendering the most FanDuel points per game to opposing point guards in 2023-24.

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 guard Cam Thomas (ankle/foot) won't play in Tuesday's game versus the Philadelphia 76ers. Missing a fifth consecutive outing due to a right ankle/midfoot sprain, Thomas sets his sights toward returning on Thursday against the Detroit Pistons for the start of Brooklyn's six-game road trip. The 22-year-old scoring machine had started his last 13 games for the Nets, delivering 21.9 points, 3.5 assists, 2.4 threes, and 1.2 steals in 33.6 minutes per contest over this period. With Ben Simmons (back) also out on Tuesday, Dennis Schroder remains in play as a strong fantasy streamer for points, assists, and treys. Over Schroder's last five games (all starts), he's averaging 16.6 points, 6.2 dimes, and 3.2 triples while shooting a scorching 61.5% from deep in 30.0 minutes.

Brooklyn Nets guard Cam Thomas (ankle, foot) won't play in Monday's matchup with Memphis. The 22-year-old injured his ankle and foot late in a meeting with the Grizzlies a week ago, keeping him off the floor for Brooklyn's previous three contests. As a result, Dennis Schroder has been more involved offensively. However, with Ben Simmons (leg) potentially returning on Monday, Schroder's workload and contributions on the scoring end might plummet. On the other hand, Mikal Bridges and Cameron Johnson, combining for 61 points on Saturday in the win over Atlanta, should remain in all fantasy lineups.

Brooklyn Nets guard/forward Cam Thomas (ankle) will remain sidelined for a third consecutive game on Saturday versus Atlanta. He continues to nurse a right ankle sprain and will have his next chance to return on Monday versus Memphis. The rest of the Brooklyn backcourt has received a boost without Thomas, while his absence has given Cameron Johnson a new opportunity in the starting unit. He had his best game of the season against the Hawks on Thursday with 29 points, four assists, and a couple of steals. Johnson should be able to cook up good numbers again on Saturday, as Atlanta continues to sit at the bottom of the table in defensive efficiency.
