Impact Claxton hasn't missed a game since late December, but it's unclear whether he'll be able to suit up Thursday due to his illness. Over 10 appearances in March, he's averaged 13.3 points, 9.4 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 1.8 blocks in 30.5 minutes per game.

Day'Ron Sharpe - Huge night on glass Sharpe finished with eight points (4-11 FG), 17 rebounds, three assists and two blocks over 24 minutes off the bench during Tuesday's 104-91 loss to the Pelicans.
Impact The 17 boards were a career high for Sharpe, topping the 15 he pulled down against the Knicks on Dec. 20. The third-year center has only 20 rebounds over the prior five games combined however, and he hasn't recorded a double-double since Jan. 3. Tuesday was also the first time in March Sharpe had played 20-plus minutes in a game, and without a more consistent role in the Brooklyn rotation, he's tough to roster in almost any format.
MARCH 20 • ROTOWIRE
Cam Thomas - Hits for 25 in Tuesday's loss Thomas racked up 25 points (8-19 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 6-7 FT), three rebounds and two assists across 34 minutes during Tuesday's 104-91 loss to New Orleans.
Impact The third-year guard continues to be a key part of the Nets' offense. Over six games since returning from an ankle/foot sprain, Thomas is averaging 26.5 points, 5.0 boards, 3.3 assists and 2.8 threes, and he appears to have earned some trust from interim coach Kevin Ollie with his compete level on defense. Brooklyn is just 1-5 over those six games however, so there's no guarantee Thomas' usage will hold steady for the remainder of the season.
