Dennis Smith Jr. - Iffy against Indiana Smith (hip) is questionable for Wednesday's game versus the Pacers, Evan Barnes of Newsday reports.

Impact Smith is in danger of missing his second straight contest Wednesday due to a hip injury he aggravated against the Lakers. If Smith remains out, Dennis Schroder and Lonnie Walker should continue to receive increased playing time.

Cameron Johnson - Will likley play Wednesday Johnson (toe) is probable for Wednesday's game against the Pacers, Meghan Triplett of YES Network reports.

Impact Johnson took a seat for Monday's loss to Indiana, which was the second night of a back-to-back set, for rest purposes, but he'll likely return to action Wednesday. On Sunday, the sharpshooter posted just five points (2-10 FG) in 20 minutes off the bench during his return from a three-game absence due to a toe sprain.

Lonnie Walker IV - Strong from deep in double figures Walker notched 14 points (5-13 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and one block over 20 minutes in Monday's 133-111 loss to Indiana.

Impact Walker connected on a team-high-tying trio of threes while ending as one of two Nets bench players with 10 or more points and as one of four players with a double-digit point total in a losing effort. Walker got back into double figures in scoring after failing to do so in his last 10 outings, tallying 14 or more points for the 18th time off the bench.

Trendon Watford - Sets season high off bench in loss Watford finished with 21 points (8-11 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-7 FT), two rebounds, one steal and one block over 34 minutes in Monday's 133-111 loss to Indiana.

Impact Watford led all bench players in Monday's contest in scoring while connecting on a team-high mark from the field and ending as one of two players with 20 or more points in his best offensive performance of the year. Watford set a new season high in scoring, surpassing the 20-point mark for the first time. Watford previously tallied a season-high point total March 25 when he posted 19 points, now having recorded at least 10 points in five straight outings off the bench.

Cam Thomas - Surpasses 20 points as top scorer Thomas ended with 22 points (7-16 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 8-9 FT), two assists and one rebound over 29 minutes in Monday's 133-111 loss to Indiana.

Impact Thomas led all Brooklyn players in scoring while connecting on a game-best mark from the free-throw line and ending as one of two Nets with 20 or more points in a losing effort. Thomas has made eight or more free throws in three of his last four outings, now having surpassed the 20-point mark in four straight contests as he continues to be one of the top offensive producers for Brooklyn.

Dennis Smith Jr. - Ruled out for Monday Smith (hip) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Pacers, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.

Impact Smith returned from a three-game absence Sunday against the Lakers but appeared to aggravate his hip injury, as he exited the contest with 2:49 remaining in the first quarter and didn't return. He'll be unavailable for the second half of the back-to-back set, and it's unclear whether he'll return to action in a rematch against Indiana on Wednesday.

Cameron Johnson - Won't play Monday Johnson (toe) has been ruled out for Monday's game against Indiana, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.

Impact Johnson returned to action Sunday against the Nets following a three-game absence due to a left big toe sprain, but he'll be sidelined for the second half of the back-to-back set due to injury maintenance. His next opportunity to suit up will be in a rematch against the Pacers on Wednesday.

Dennis Smith Jr. - Barely plays in return Smith (hip) logged two points (1-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt) in four minutes off the bench Sunday in the Nets' 116-104 loss to the Lakers.

Impact Smith checked into the contest midway through the first quarter, but after heading to the bench with 2:49 remaining in the period, he never re-entered the game. The Nets didn't indicate that Smith suffered any sort of setback with his hip in his return from a three-game absence, so it's possible that interim head coach Kevin Ollie simply elected to keep the veteran guard out of his rotation for the entire second half. Given the uncertainty of his workload moving forward while the Brooklyn backcourt is at full strength, Smith doesn't look to be an interesting fantasy option outside of the deepest of leagues.

Cameron Johnson - Brings defensive numbers in return Johnson (toe) recorded five points (2-10 FG, 1-5 3Pt), three rebounds, two blocks and one steal in 20 minutes off the bench Sunday in the Nets' 116-104 loss to the Lakers.

Impact Johnson had started in both of his previous two appearances, but he came off the bench Sunday in his return from a three-game absence due to a left big toe sprain. According to Brian Lewis of the New York Post, Johnson wasn't on a minute restriction Sunday, but Nets interim coach Kevin Ollie may have elected to keep the 28-year-old's playing time in check anyway after he didn't have his usual deft touch from beyond the arc. The day wasn't a total loss for Johnson's fantasy managers, however, as he delivered some atypical production in the defensive categories.
