Stuffs stat sheet Thursday Claxton notched 13 points (5-12 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 3-6 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and two steals across 31 minutes during Thursday's 111-105 victory over Milwaukee.

Impact Claxton was three rebounds shy of recording a double-double, but the big man found a way to remain relevant in fantasy thanks to a strong all-around effort. He hasn't recorded a double-double since Dec. 8, but at least he's scored in double digits in five of his last nine contests. He's averaging 11.1 points per contest in that span.

Scores season-high 20 points Clowney produced 20 points (7-10 FG, 6-9 3Pt), four rebounds, two assists and one steal over 31 minutes during Thursday's 111-105 victory over Milwaukee.

Impact Clowney was making only his fourth start of the season Thursday, but he took advantage of the opportunity and finished with his best scoring output of the campaign. His fantasy upside will be tied to the availability of Dorian Finney-Smith (calf), but Clowney is nonetheless going through a productive stretch. He's scored in double digits in four games in a row and five of his last six, averaging 12.3 points and 5.0 rebounds per contest in that stretch.

Excellent in win over Bucks Johnson notched 29 points (8-13 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 9-9 FT), five rebounds and three assists in 35 minutes during Thursday's 111-105 victory over the Bucks.

Impact Johnson had one of his most efficient scoring displays of the season, and he's been nothing short of outstanding for the Nets throughout the entire month of December. He's taken over as one of the team's go-to options on offense with Cam Thomas (hamstring) sidelined, and the numbers back him up. Johnson has scored at least 20 points in six of his nine outings this month, and he's cleared the 25-point plateau five times in that stretch.

Could play Friday Simmons has a chance to play in the second half of the team's back-to-back Friday against the Spurs, Erik Slater of ClutchPoints.com reports.

Impact Simmons has yet to appear in both games of a back-to-back this season due to maintenance, so this is presumably an indication that the team is feeling more comfortable with his health. The LSU product logged 29 minutes Thursday night against the Bucks, and the club will likely check in on him in the morning and leading up to Friday's clash before giving him the green light to suit up.
