Starting sans Thomas Wilson will enter the starting lineup in Tuesday's game against the Hornets, Erik Slater of ClutchPoints.com reports.

Impact With Cam Thomas (back) sidelined for the first time this year, Wilson will enter the starting five for just the fourth time in his career. The 24-year-old has played consistent minutes off the bench thus far, and in his last five appearances he's averaged 8.8 points, 3.4 rebounds and 1.6 assists while shooting 48.4 percent from the field across 19.2 minutes per game.

Another night in double figures Wilson posted 11 points (4-5 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, four assists and one steal in 22 minutes during Wednesday's 139-114 loss to Boston.

Impact Wilson scored in double digits for a second straight game, and he notched his first steal since Nov. 1 against Chicago.

Impact This was Wilson's fourth game of the campaign scoring in double figures through eight appearances. His production has been sporadic, but he's certainly intriguing in deeper fantasy formats with 8.6 points, 3.6 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 0.9 three-pointers in 22.8 minutes per contest.

Productive off bench Wilson produced 11 points (3-6 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT), six rebounds, two assists and one steal across 21 minutes during Tuesday's 144-139 overtime loss to the Nuggets.

Impact After scoring a combined two points in his previous two outings, Wilson got back on track Tuesday night. His strong performance on Opening Night turned some heads, and he again showed fantasy managers why he's so intriguing with a double-digit effort against Denver in the overtime loss. Fantasy managers will want to keep a close eye on him going forward, especially when the Nets are shorthanded.

OCTOBER 30 • ROTOWIRE

Perfect from charity stripe Wilson ended with 16 points (3-7 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 8-8 FT), four rebounds and one assist in 34 minutes during Wednesday's 120-116 loss to the Hawks.

Impact Wilson was Brooklyn's second-leading scorer Wednesday despite coming off the bench. Without many go-to scorers outside of Cam Thomas, Wilson could be in store for a significant role as a sparkplug in the team's second unit. If the 24-year-old forward continues to play upwards of 30 minutes, he will garner serious fantasy attention.

OCTOBER 24 • ROTOWIRE

Not starting in opener Wilson won't start Wednesday's regular-season opener against the Hawks, C.J. Holmes of the New York Daily News reports.

Impact Wilson started in Brooklyn's preseason finale but will return to the bench for the start of the regular season. Still, he's slated to play a significant role with the reserves after appearing in 43 games as a rookie in 2023-24.

Struggles with shot Wilson totaled nine points (4-13 FG, 1-5 3Pt), nine rebounds, one assist, two blocks and one steal over 32 minutes during Sunday's 107-86 loss to the 76ers.

Impact Wilson ends his rookie campaign in a 2-for-10 slump from beyond the arc, but his 35.6 percent clip on 1.6 threes per game through his first 38 appearances is a decent foundation. Wilson's strength is his top trait, however, with upside to carve out a defensively-oriented role with rebounding juice in the future. The 23-year-old logged a limited sample of under 600 minutes this season, but he ranked in the 88th percentile for defensive rebounding and 97th percentile for offensive rebounding among all wings.

Headed to bench Wednesday Wilson will come off the bench for Wednesday's game against the Wizards, Erik Slater of ClutchPoints.com reports.

Impact Wilson received a spot-start Monday with Cam Thomas (back) hitting the sidelines, but Thomas is back for Wednesday's game, so Wilson's minutes will likely be reduced to the teens. He's a risky target in the reserve role.

MARCH 27 • ROTOWIRE

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

Fails to score in 20 minutes Wilson contributed zero points (0-5 FG, 0-3 3Pt), four rebounds, one assist and one steal over 20 minutes during Saturday's 110-99 loss to the Hornets.

Impact Wilson cracked 20 minutes for the second time in the past three games, continuing to carve out a somewhat consistent role for himself. However, despite the uptick in playing time, he has not been able to convert the minutes into production. He has been well outside the top 300 over the past month, averaging just 4.2 points per game to go with 3.0 rebounds and a whole lot of nothing.

MARCH 10 • ROTOWIRE

Getting standard NBA contract The Nets are converting Wilson's two-way contract into a standard NBA contract Friday, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.

Impact The 2023 second-round pick has carved out more playing with the NBA squad of late, averaging 6.1 points, 2.9 rebounds and 1.7 assists in 21.0 minutes per game over his last nine appearances (one start). For now, the rookie doesn't need to be on most fantasy radars, but Wilson is a guy to keep an eye on in deeper leagues, especially if the Nets opt to shut down some of their top producers toward the end of the regular season.

MARCH 1 • ROTOWIRE

Back to bench Wilson will come off the bench for Saturday's game against the Spurs, Evan Barnes of Newsday reports.

Impact This will be the 12th different lineup of the season for Brooklyn, as Dorian Finney-Smith will slot in as the power forward. Wilson made his first start of the season on Thursday versus Cleveland, finishing with eight points, three rebounds, three assists, one steal and two three-pointers across 40 minutes.

FEBRUARY 10 • ROTOWIRE

Starting Thursday Wilson will start Thursday's game against the Cavaliers.

Impact This will be the first career start for the rookie. The Nets are without Dorian Finney-Smith (ankle) and Cam Johnson (adductor), but Wilson is expected to see more opportunities going forward with Royce O'Neale traded to the Suns on Thursday.

FEBRUARY 9 • ROTOWIRE

Makes most of opportunity Wilson posted 10 points (3-7 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, two assists and one steal over 18 minutes during Tuesday's 119-107 loss to the Mavericks.

Impact This was the second largest workload of the season for Wilson, as the Nets were very shorthanded Tuesday evening. Brooklyn could potentially be sellers at the trade deadline, so Wilson is a player to monitor if they are able to move a veteran or two.
