Severely shorthanded Nets take a 35-point pounding by the Celtics The Nets were short six of their seven best players against the Boston Celtics and, to no one’s surprise, they played like it.
FEBRUARY 9, 2022 • KANSASCITY.COM
Cam Thomas - Another strong performance Tuesday Thomas registered 17 points (7-17 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 3-5 FT), five rebounds, three assists and one steal over 28 minutes during Tuesday's 126-91 loss to the Celtics.
Impact Thomas wasn't especially efficient, but that was a problem for nearly everyone on Brooklyn's roster during the massive blowout loss. Thomas has played well lately while the Nets deal with absences, and he's racked up 67 points over the past three games. He's scored at least 11 points in every game that he's seen at least 25 minutes.

Patty Mills - Flops in blowout loss Mills ended with five points (2-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt), two rebounds and three assists in 22 minutes during Tuesday's 126-91 loss to the Celtics.
Impact The Nets were annihilated by the Celtics, and Mills struggled despite being one of the only reliable backcourt options available. When he struggles with his shot, he typically doesn't put up enough ancillary stats to make up for it.
FEBRUARY 9, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
James Johnson - Thrives in blowout loss Johnson closed Tuesday's 126-91 loss to the Celtics with 17 points (8-11 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 0-2 FT), three rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal across 24 minutes.
Impact Johnson piled up some numbers in the blowout loss. He's seen double-digit minutes in each of the past 10 games, but he's only putting up stats good enough for fantasy relevance in deep leagues. Occasionally, he'll pop like this when the situation presents itself.
FEBRUARY 9, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
David Duke Jr. - Gets burn in blowout loss Duke had 13 points (5-13 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four steals, three rebounds and two assists across 28 minutes during Tuesday's 126-91 loss to the Celtics.
Impact Coach Steve Nash emptied the bench early in this one, and Duke racked up a career-high steal total in the process. He hadn't played for the Nets in any of the past eight games, so don't expect much from Duke moving forward, as he'll likely continue seeing action in the G League once Brooklyn regains some health.
FEBRUARY 9, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Jevon Carter - Scores season-high 21 points Carter provided 21 points (7-16 FG, 7-13 3Pt), three rebounds, three assists and one block over 31 minutes during Tuesday's 126-91 loss to Boston.
Impact Carter saw a season-high 31 minutes off the bench during the blowout loss, and he racked up season highs in both points and made threes. Fantasy managers shouldn't expect this kind of performance even semi-regularly out of Carter going forward, as he was averaging just 9.3 points per 36 minutes before this contest and isn't a consistent part of the rotation. Once the team gets even remotely healthy, Carter will be devoid of fantasy relevance.
