D’Angelo Russell DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

Brooklyn Nets point guardD'Angelo Russell(ankle) is unavailable for Saturday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. Russell sprained his right ankle on Thursday in a loss to the Cavaliers while posting just three points and five assists in 17 minutes of work. His next opportunity to play will be on Monday against the Wizards. Keon JohnsonandKillian Hayes could see more action on the floor during Russell's absence, but their impact on fantasy during Saturday's contest will be limited.

Brooklyn Nets point guard D'Angelo Russell (illness) is good to go for Monday's matchup against the Charlotte Hornets. Due to an illness, Russell was initially regarded as questionable for the game before Brooklyn upgraded his status to available. Russell has blown hot and cold lately, but his overall numbers with the Nets have been solid. Since rejoining the team on Dec. 29, Russel has notched 14.2 points, 6.1 assists, and 1.4 steals in 24.4 minutes.

Brooklyn Nets guard D'Angelo Russell (personal) will play on Saturday against Miami. The 28-year-old wasn't available for Wednesday's loss to the Phoenix Suns. Ben Simmons (illness) also wasn't on the floor for that one, resulting in Keon Johnson getting some work at the point and finishing with 20 points. But with Russell and Simmons back in the mix, Johnson likely won't be as productive. As far as Russell is concerned, he's played well since being acquired by the Nets, averaging 14.6 points, 8.3 assists, and 1.6 steals in seven appearances for Brooklyn. With Cameron Johnson (ankle) still on the shelf, D'Lo may be more productive.

Brooklyn Nets guard D'Angelo Russell (personal) is listed as questionable ahead of Saturday's game against the Miami Heat. Russell sat out of Wednesday's game due to a left hamstring issue, but now is on the injury report due to personal reasons. The good news is, Russell appears to have put the hamstring injury behind him, but he still remains uncertain for this game. The absence of Russell should mean an increased workload for Keon Johnson, Ziaire Williams, and Tyrese Martin. Johnson is the strongest streaming choice between the three at the moment.

Erik Slater of ClutchPoints.com reports that Brooklyn Nets point guardD'Angelo Russell(hamstring) will not play on Wednesday against the Suns due to left hamstring injury management. On Tuesday, the 28-year-old was listed as questionable with the same injury. However, he played and posted 23 points, 10 assists, three blocks, two rebounds, and one steal across 31 minutes despite a loss to the Knicks. Brooklyn is the second leg of a back-to-back set, so it's no surprise they are being cautious with all the team's injuries. With Russell resting, Keon Johnson,Reece Beekman, andTyrese Martin will take on extra minutes out of the backcourt.
