Brooklyn Nets center Nicolas Claxton (hamstring) has landed on the injury report as questionable ahead of Tuesday's clash against Portland. The Nets big man might miss his first action since Nov. 27. Day'Ron Sharpe and Noah Clowney would get a boost from Claxton's absence, with the latter already part of the starting lineup. Sharpe's per-minute production has always been good, and he has averaged 10.3 points and 8.3 rebounds as a starter for his career. Ben Simmons (back, knee) is another option at center, but he is once again carrying a questionable tag and might not play.
