Does beating Nets without Kevin Durant count as a 'signature' win? For magical Cavaliers, it may not matter One of the Cavs biggest developments is knowing they can turn their offense over to Darius Garland with the game on the line.

Plays 17 minutes off bench Griffin supplied five points (2-5 FG, 1-4 3Pt), three rebounds, three assists and one steal in 17 minutes during Monday's 114-107 loss to the Cavaliers.
Impact Griffin remains in the rotation off the bench, but he's been helped recently by injuries to LaMarcus Aldridge and Nicolas Claxton (hamstring), the latter of whom did not play Monday. When all three of Aldridge, Claxton and Day'Ron Sharpe are healthy, Griffin may find himself on the outside looking in.

Returns from five-game absence Aldridge provided 13 points (6-10 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-1 FT), five rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal over 23 minutes during Monday's 114-107 loss to the Cavaliers.
Impact Making his first appearance since Jan. 7, Aldridge came off the bench as the Nets opted to roll with Day'Ron Sharpe (24 minutes) at center with Nicolas Claxton (hamstring) out. Both players split minutes evenly, however, and Aldridge salvaged a decent fantasy line with the steal and block. Whether he recaptures the starting job at some point or not, Aldridge's fantasy value is pretty limited at this point in his career.

Well-rounded line in loss Harden registered 22 points (5-12 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 10-15 FT), seven rebounds, 10 assists and two steals across 40 minutes during Monday's 114-107 loss to the Cavaliers.
Impact As usual, Harden contributed plenty of valuable counting stats, but he went just 5-of-12 from the field and finished as a minus-18 in 40 minutes of action in a game the Nets lost by only seven points. Nonetheless, Harden continues to be an elite fantasy commodity, as he entered Monday averaging 27.2 points, 11.0 assists, 8.3 rebounds, 1.3 steals, 1.0 blocks and 2.4 threes over his last 11 games. With Kevin Durant (knee) set to miss several weeks, Harden's value should only rise.

Scores season-high 27 Irving amassed 27 points (12-23 FG, 3-6 3Pt), seven rebounds, nine assists and one steal in 38 minutes during Monday's 114-107 loss to Cleveland.
Impact Playing without Kevin Durant (knee), the Nets leaned heavily on Irving and James Harden for offensive production but ultimately came up short against a Cavs team that shot 51.9 percent from the field. Irving returned to the floor after missing the previous two games due to New York City's vaccine mandate. With the Nets in the midst of a four-game road swing, he should be able to play in the remaining three Week 14 contests.

Back in action Monday Irving will return to the starting lineup Tuesday against the Cavs, Billy Reinhardt of Nets Daily reports.
Impact After sitting out the Nets' last two home games against OKC and New Orleans, Irving will return to eligibility as the Nets begin a four-game road swing that includes stops in Washington D.C. (Wednesday), San Antonio (Friday) and Minnesota (Sunday). He'll start Monday alongside James Harden, Patty Mills, Kessler Edwards and Day'Ron Sharpe.

Will come off bench Aldridge will come off the bench Monday against the Cavs, Billy Reinhardt of Nets Daily reports.
Impact After missing the last five games with a foot injury, Aldridge will be back in the mix, but even with Nicolas Claxton (hamstring) out, the Nets will bring the veteran off the bench. Steve Nash will continue to roll with Day'Ron Sharpe at center. He'll be joined by Kessler Edwards, Patty Mills, Kyrie Irving and James Harden. Brooklyn is, of course, without Kevin Durant (knee).

Late scratch Monday Bembry is out for Monday's game against Cleveland due to back spasms, Billy Reinhardt of NetsDaily.com reports.
Impact Bembry wasn't initially listed on the Nets' injury report, but he'll be held out due to a back issue. Bruce Brown, Kessler Edwards and David Duke should see increased run against the Cavaliers.

Won't return during road trip Coach Steve Nash said Monday that Harris (ankle) won't play during the Nets' current road trip, Greg Logan of Newsday reports.
Impact Harris traveled with the Nets for their road trip, but he was just recently cleared to do light shooting. As a result, he'll need more time to get into shape before he's ready for game action. The 31-year-old should be sidelined until at least Jan. 25, when the team returns home to play the Lakers.
JANUARY 17, 2022 ā¢ ROTOWIRE
Ruled out Monday Claxton (hamstring) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Cavaliers.
Impact Claxton will miss a fourth straight game due to left hamstring tightness, though head coach Steve Nash said the center is day-to-day and should be available at some point during the Nets' remaining three games of the road trip, per Chris Milholen of NetsDaily.com. The Nets will also be without Kevin Durant (knee), James Johnson (illness) and Paul Millsap (personal) in their frontcourt, but LaMarcus Aldridge (foot) will be ready to return from a five-game absence. With that said, Aldridge, Day'Ron Sharpe and Blake Griffin will likely cover most of the minutes at center Monday.
JANUARY 17, 2022 ā¢ ROTOWIRE
Officially available Monday Aldridge (foot) is available for Monday's game against Cleveland.
Impact The 36-year-old missed the last five games due to right foot soreness but was probable ahead of Monday's contest. Since Nicolas Claxton (hamstring) is out, Aldridge could see additional playing time as long as he doesn't have any conditioning concerns.
