6-10 · 12TH IN EASTERN CONFERENCE
Next Game at Kings · Mon 2:00AM
Should Grizzlies target this 3-and-D wing? B/R writer Andy Bailey proposes Memphis trades for Brooklyn Nets’ Cameron Johnson.
Jalen Wilson - Perfect from charity stripe Wilson ended with 16 points (3-7 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 8-8 FT), four rebounds and one assist in 34 minutes during Wednesday's 120-116 loss to the Hawks.
Impact Wilson was Brooklyn's second-leading scorer Wednesday despite coming off the bench. Without many go-to scorers outside of Cam Thomas, Wilson could be in store for a significant role as a sparkplug in the team's second unit. If the 24-year-old forward continues to play upwards of 30 minutes, he will garner serious fantasy attention.

Noah Clowney - Subdued performance in loss Clowney racked up seven points (2-6 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, one block and one steal over 15 minutes during Wednesday's 120-116 loss to the Hawks.
Impact Clowney logged 15 minutes off the bench, less than what managers would have been hoping for. After some early preseason hype, Clowney's assumed role regressed, seeing him fall in drafts, to the point where he was not a must-draft player. Although his per-minute production was more than adequate, it appears as though the playing time is going to come up short. He makes for a nice stash should your league settings be suitable. If and when the Nets fall out of playoff contention, Clowney could certainly step into a larger role.

Ben Simmons - Serviceable production Wednesday Simmons registered six points (3-4 FG), five rebounds, eight assists and one block in 24 minutes during Wednesday's 120-116 loss to the Hawks.
Impact Simmons chipped in across the board, delivering a modest yet encouraging performance. After a number of years battling injuries, Simmons remaining on the floor is the top priority. While his six turnovers were less than ideal, if he can continue to re-adjust to life in the NBA, he should be able to establish himself as a must-roster player, with more value for those not seeking points production.

Cam Thomas - Leads all scorers in loss Thomas produced 36 points (14-27 FG, 7-13 3Pt, 1-1 FT), five rebounds, three assists and three steals across 34 minutes during Wednesday's 120-116 loss to the Hawks.
Impact Thomas hit the ground running in the season-opener, landing a game-high 36 points. After a modest start to the game, Thomas caught fire late, pouring in 20 points in the fourth quarter. On a Nets team lacking offensive punch, Thomas is poised to shoulder the bulk of the scoring load. If you drafted him in the middle rounds, you have to be thrilled with his initial output.

Nic Claxton EJECTED for this FLAGRANT 2 Foul on Dyson Daniels 👀
OCTOBER 24 • YOUTUBE
Nic Claxton - Ejected Wednesday Claxton was ejected after being assessed a Flagrant 2 foul in the fourth quarter of Wednesday's game versus Atlanta, John Hollinger of The Athletic reports.
Impact Claxton checked all the boxes of a Flagrant 2 foul in an attempt to block Dyson Daniels' transition layup -- swiping the third-year guard across the neck while he was airborne. Claxton and Daniels escalated the conflict and exited the court area, so it's possible that a fine or further punishment is coming for Claxton.

Jalen Wilson - Not starting in opener Wilson won't start Wednesday's regular-season opener against the Hawks, C.J. Holmes of the New York Daily News reports.
Impact Wilson started in Brooklyn's preseason finale but will return to the bench for the start of the regular season. Still, he's slated to play a significant role with the reserves after appearing in 43 games as a rookie in 2023-24.
OCTOBER 23 • ROTOWIRE
Ben Simmons - Part of first unit Simmons will start Wednesday's regular-season opener against the Hawks, C.J. Holmes of the New York Daily News reports.
Impact Simmons will start at the center position Wednesday, filling in for Nic Claxton, who's on a minutes restriction after missing the preseason with a hamstring injury. Simmons appeared in 15 games (12 starts) for Brooklyn in 2023-24, averaging 6.1 points, 7.9 rebounds and 5.7 assists across 23.9 minutes.

Dorian Finney-Smith - Part of first unit Finney-Smith is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's regular-season opener against the Hawks, C.J. Holmes of the New York Daily News reports.
Impact Finney-Smith slides in between Cameron Johnson and Ben Simmons in the frontcourt Wednesday as the Nets bring Nic Claxton off the bench on a minutes restriction. It's unclear if Brooklyn plans on keeping Finney-Smith in the first unit once Claxton is a full-go, but he's a decent option in daily formats and deeper leagues while in the starting lineup.

Nic Claxton - On minutes restriction Claxton (hamstring) is cleared for Wednesday's contest versus Atlanta, however coach Jordi Fernandez notes that his minutes will be limited, John Hollinger of The Athletic reports.
Impact Claxton will be ramped into game action slowly, however Brooklyn has limited options behind him with Day'Ron Sharpe (hamstring) amid a multi-week absence. Noah Clowney could see an uptick in minutes while Ben Simmons could also log playing time at center.

Trendon Watford - Won't play Wednesday Watford (hamstring) will not play in Wednesday's game against the Hawks, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.
Impact Watford was initially given a two-week timetable on Oct. 7, but it's still unclear when he'll be able to return to the floor. For now, he should be considered questionable at best for Friday's game versus Orlando.

Bojan Bogdanovic - Ruled out for Wednesday Bogdanovic (foot) will not play in Wednesday's game against the Hawks, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.
Impact Bogdanovic has yet to be cleared for 5-on-5 contact work, and there's no word of a target date for his return. He should be considered doubtful for Friday's game against Orlando.

Nic Claxton - Good to go Wednesday Claxton (hamstring) will be available for Wednesday's game against the Hawks, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.
Impact Despite missing the entire preseason, the Nets were always optimistic about Claxton suiting up for Opening Night. Given Brooklyn's lack of frontcourt depth, it will be interesting to see if they place any restrictions on Claxton as he works his way back into form.
OCTOBER 22 • ROTOWIRE
Dorian Finney-Smith - Will play Wednesday Finney-Smith (undisclosed) will play in Wednesday's game against the Hawks, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.
Impact Finney-Smith missed Friday's preseason finale against the Raptors after taking a hard fall in the previous game, but updates have been scarce since. With that being the case, fantasy managers shouldn't anticipate any restrictions ahead of Opening Night.
