Impact Brown scored a season-high 22 points and finished with at least seven rebounds and five assists for the fourth time over his last five appearances. Since mid-February, the versatile wing has averaged 14.4 points, 6.1 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 1.5 steals in 32.5 minutes per game. He's reclaimed the role he held during the Nets' playoff run last season, which should provide fantasy managers with solid production during the stretch run.

After a slow start to the season averaging 6.0 points and 4.2 rebounds, the former Miami standout is recording 13.5 points and 5.7 rebounds per contest since Feb. 12.

Impact Brown dished out a season-high eight assists and scored in double figures for a sixth consecutive game. During that stretch, the fourth-year wing has averaged 14.5 points, 5.3 rebounds, 4.3 assists and 1.8 steals in 32.2 minutes per game. Since mid-February, Brown has reclaimed the role he held during the Nets' playoff run last year, which should provide fantasy managers with solid production during the stretch run.

Logs 15/7/5 line in victory Brown posted 15 points (7-14 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds, five assists and two steals across 41 minutes during Sunday's 110-107 victory over the Knicks.

Impact Brown shot 50 percent from the floor and racked up decent peripheral numbers in the victory. Until the COVID-19 restrictions are lifted at the Barclays Center, Brown will usually be a reliable pivot for Kyrie Irving when the Nets play at home.

Another solid performance Brown racked up 16 points (6-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-3 FT), six rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal across 30 minutes during Sunday's 126-120 loss to Boston.

Impact Brown has started 10 straight games and has scored in double figures in eight of those contests. During that stretch, he's averaged 13.8 points, 5.9 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1.7 steals in 31.4 minutes per game. While the 6-foot-4 wing has enjoyed reasonable success during his time in the starting lineup, he'll likely be the odd man out when Ben Simmons (back) is able to return, though there still isn't a definitive timetable for his return.

Goes for 21 in loss Brown chipped in 21 points (8-13 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 2-3 FT), four rebounds, three assists, one block and two steals in 33 minutes during Thursday's 113-107 loss to the Heat.

Impact Brown seems to have locked down a starting role and has been in the lineup in each of Brooklyn's last nine games, scoring in double figures in all but two of those contests and reaching the 15-point mark four times in that stretch. While he might be the odd man out when Ben Simmons (back) is able to return, Brown will certainly enjoy the uptick in minutes for the time being.

Another solid all-around line Brown produced 14 points (5-11 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, one assist, one steal and one block across 24 minutes in Tuesday's 133-97 loss to the Raptors.

Impact Brown has been an under-the-radar fantasy asset over the past three weeks while the Nets have been without Kevin Durant (knee) and Ben Simmons (conditioning/back) for that entire stretch and Kyrie Irving for a good portion of it. In seven games since entering the starting five, Brown has received no fewer than 24 minutes each time out while averaging 13.3 points (on 50.8 percent shooting from the field), 5.9 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 1.7 steals and 1.1 triples per contest. Brown should again be in store for an expanded role in Tuesday's rematch with the Raptors, though he could see a downturn in his opportunities as soon as Thursday's game against the Heat, when Durant could be ready to put an end to his extended absence.

Leads team in minutes again Brown registered 15 points (5-12 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-6 FT), seven rebounds, five assists and three steals across 35 minutes during Thursday's 129-106 loss to Boston.

Impact Brown played a team-high 35 minutes for a second straight game while also tying Seth Curry for a team-high seven rebounds. The Nets desperately need Kevin Durant (knee) back on the court, but Brown may have carved out a larger role for himself in the rotation going forward based on his recent production. In the last five games, he's averaged 12.8 points, 5.6 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 2.2 steals across 32.2 minutes per game.

Plays team-high 35 minutes Brown ended Thursday's 117-103 loss to the Wizards with 10 points (3-10 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 4-5 FT), five rebounds and four assists across 35 minutes.

Impact Brown struggled with his shot Thursday, joining his teammates -- 40.4 percent shooting as a team -- with collective shooting woes. Currently lacking Kevin Durant (knee) and Ben Simmons (conditioning), Brown is a candidate to retain a respectable role once the Brooklyn frontcourt returns to full health. The 25-year-old averaged 8.8 points and 5.4 rebounds on 55.6 percent shooting across 65 games for the Nets last season.
