Nic Claxton - Grabs 16 rebounds Mondayq Claxton supplied nine points (4-5 FG, 1-2 FT), 16 rebounds, two assists and one block in 35 minutes during Monday's 96-88 win over the Raptors.
Impact Claxton didn't have his best scoring performance Monday, but it wasn't due to a lack of efficiency, as he made four of his five attempts from the field. He certainly made his presence felt on the glass, and he ended just one rebound shy from tying his season-high mark in that category. Claxton has grabbed 10 or more rebounds in eight of his 13 appearances this month.

Trendon Watford - Scores season-high mark Monday Watford chipped in 19 points (7-10 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 3-5 FT) and seven rebounds in 21 minutes during Monday's 96-88 win over Toronto.
Impact The Nets didn't have their best offensive performance, as evidenced by the fact they only scored 96 points, but Watford made his presence felt off the bench with his best scoring mark of the season. Watford might gain a more significant role if the Nets are eliminated from playoff contention, but for now, he should remain a bench alternative with limited fantasy upside.

Dennis Schroder - Solid output vs. former team Schroder registered 19 points (7-15 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds and seven assists across 37 minutes during Monday's 96-88 victory over the Raptors.
Impact Schroder was impressive against his former team, but perhaps the most important aspect of his performance Monday was that he managed to bounce back from a couple of underwhelming efforts. He was coming off two straight games with single-digit scoring performances. Despite the ups and downs, Schroder has done a decent job as a starter in Brooklyn, averaging 15.2 points, 6.7 assists, 2.8 rebounds and 0.7 steals per game since the beginning of March.

Jalen Wilson - Gets chance with first unit Wilson is starting Monday's game against the Raptors, Evan Barnes of Newsday reports.
Impact Wilson is set to make just his second start of the season after Cam Thomas (back) was a late scratch. Wilson is averaging 9.4 minutes over his last five appearances but should be in line for a much larger workload Monday evening.
MARCH 25 • ROTOWIRE
Cam Thomas - Late scratch Monday Thomas has been ruled out for Monday's game against Toronto due to back stiffness, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.
Impact Thomas was ruled out with under 45 minutes remaining until Brooklyn's 7:30 p.m. ET tipoff. He joins Cameron Johnson (toe) in being sidelined Monday, which should open up enlarged roles for Lonnie Walker and Jalen Wilson.
MARCH 25 • ROTOWIRE
Cameron Johnson - Absence to continue Wednesday Johnson (toe) is inactive for Monday's game against Toronto and will be sidelined Wednesday against Washington as well, Evan Barnes of Newsday reports.
Impact Johnson did not travel with the team, and his next opportunity to take the court comes Friday versus Chicago when the Nets return to Brooklyn. Cam Thomas will be due for a slightly enlarged role, while Jalen Wilson is averaging 8.1 points, 4.4 rebounds and 1.6 assists in 19.6 minutes per game across his last eight appearances when Johnson has been unavailable.

Dennis Smith Jr. - Won't play Monday Smith has been ruled out for Monday's game against Toronto due to right hip synovitis, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.
Impact Smith hasn't missed a game since early February, but he'll be unable to suit up Monday due to his hip issue. Dennis Schroder, Lonnie Walker and Mikal Bridges are candidates to see increased usage against the Raptors.
MARCH 24 • ROTOWIRE
Keita Bates-Diop - Won't go Monday Bates-Diop has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Raptors due to a right shin stress reaction, Meghan Triplett of YES Network reports.
Impact Bates-Diop hasn't been much of a factor since joining the Nets, so he shouldn't be missed much. His next opportunity to suit up will arrive Wednesday against the Wizards.
MARCH 24 • ROTOWIRE
Cameron Johnson - Ruled out for Monday Johnson has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Raptors due to a left big toe sprain, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.
Impact Johnson appeared in the last six matchups and started in his last two outings, but he'll be unavailable for Monday's game due to his toe injury. The severity of the issue isn't yet clear, but his next chance to suit up will be Wednesday against Washington. Dorian Finney-Smith will likely see increased run in Johnson's absence.

Mikal Bridges - Drains four threes in loss Bridges racked up 18 points (7-14 FG, 4-9 3Pt), four rebounds, five assists and one steal across 37 minutes during Saturday's 105-93 loss to the Knicks.
Impact The 27-year-old forward was one of the few Brooklyn players to have much success against New York's perimeter defense -- Cameron Johnson went 3-for-6 on three-point attempts, and the rest of the team went 5-for-19 (26.3 percent). Bridges has scored in double digits in 12 of the last 13 games, and he's averaged 18.0 points, 4.7 boards, 3.8 assists, 3.3 threes and 1.2 steals over that stretch.
MARCH 24 • ROTOWIRE
Cam Thomas - Pops for team-high 19 in loss Thomas finished with 19 points (6-14 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 6-6 FT), five rebounds and six assists across 36 minutes during Saturday's 105-93 loss to the Knicks.
Impact The third-year guard led the Nets in scoring, but it was the first time in eight games since returning from an ankle/foot sprain that Thomas has failed to deliver at least 20 points. Over that stretch, he's averaged 24.9 points, 5.1 boards, 3.8 assists and 2.3 threes, emerging as the most reliable offensive threat in the Brooklyn lineup.
