Mavs Blitz Durant, Dinwiddie Hits Buzzer-Beater To Beat Nets Mavs’ Luka Doncic and Nets’ Kevin Durant lived up to expectations as both teams jockey for playoff positioning in their respective conferenc...
Kevin Durant - Leads Nets with 23 points Durant amassed 23 points (8-20 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 5-5 FT), 10 assists and six rebounds during Wednesday's 113-111 loss to Dallas.
Impact Considering his recent scoring performances lately, it was a relatively quiet offensive outing for the Texas product despite leading the squad in scoring once again. Durant's 10 assists were also the most he has dished out since recording 11 against the Raptors on Dec. 14. Durant has recorded two double-doubles across his past four contests, and he's averaging 30.0 points since returning to the lineup from a knee injury March 3.

Cam Thomas - Available to play Thomas (back) will be available for Wednesday's game against Dallas.
Impact The Nets wanted Thomas to warm up before making a final call on his status, and it looks like he'll push through the back injury that kept him out of Tuesday night's blowout win over Orlando. With Kyrie Irving ineligible and Seth Curry (ankle) sidelined, Thomas should be set for an increased role, assuming his back holds up.

Ben Simmons - Gets epidural for back issue Simmons (back) got an epidural while the Nets were in Orlando with the hopes that it will improve his back pain and allow him to do more moving forward, Nick Friedell of ESPN.com r...
Impact It's tough to gauge if this is good or bad news for fantasy managers. It's not great that Simmons is in so much pain that an epidural became an option, but the upside is that he starts feeling better and can play before the end of the season. There still remains no timetable for his return to the practice floor, and he'll likely be re-evaluated in a few days.

Seth Curry - Ruled out Wednesday Curry (ankle) will not play in Wednesday's game against the Mavericks, Barbara Barker of Newsday reports.
Impact Curry will miss a third straight game while he continues to battle a left ankle injury. With Kyrie Irving ineligible, it leaves the Nets without their usual starting backcourt. Coach Steve Nash told reporters pregame that he hopes to have Curry back in the lineup Friday against Portland.

Kyrie Irving has his way with Orlando, scoring 60 points one game after Durant drops 53 NBA’s top part-time player puts Eastern Conference on notice

Patty Mills - Nails five triples off bench Mills registered 15 points (5-7 FG, 5-7 3Pt) in 22 minutes during Tuesday's 150-108 victory over Orlando.
Impact Seth Curry (ankle) and Cam Thomas (back) were sidelined, but Kyrie Irving returned to the starting lineup alongside Goran Dragic, which relegated Mills to a reserve role. Regardless, Mills operated as the top guard off the bench and connected on at least five three-pointers for the 16th time this season.
MARCH 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Nic Claxton - Double-doubles off bench Claxton had 12 points (5-9 FG, 2-3 FT), 10 rebounds and two assists across 24 minutes during Tuesday's 150-108 win over Orlando.
Impact Claxton has played 20-plus minutes in four straight games and has scored in double figures in back-to-back contests. The third-year big man also grabbed his most rebounds since Feb. 2 en route to notching his fourth double-double of the campaign. He appears to have solidified a backup role to Andre Drummond after being sidelined for the majority of February due to a hamstring injury.

Kessler Edwards - Gets back on track Tuesday Edwards closed Tuesday's 150-108 victory over Orlando with 14 points (6-8 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 0-1 FT), six rebounds, two assists and one steal across 25 minutes.
Impact After playing just seven total minutes over the last five contests, Edwards returned to the rotation during Tuesday's blowout win. The rookie scored his most points since Jan. 23 and grabbed his most rebounds since Dec. 16, but his increased playing time and production likely stem from the absences of Cam Thomas (back) and Seth Curry (ankle).
