ROYCE O'NEALE NEWS

Won't play Thursday O'Neale is out for Thursday's game versus the Bucks due to left knee soreness, Alex Schiffer of The Athletic reports.

Impact O'Neale is set to miss his first game since Jan. 2 on Thursday. Dorian Finney-Smith, Yuta Watanabe and Joe Harris are candidates to receive extended minutes in his absence. O'Neale's next chance to suit up is Friday's matchup with Minnesota.

Solid line in 34 minutes O'Neale finished with 10 points (4-11 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), six rebounds, three assists and one steal across 34 minutes during Friday's 115-105 victory over Boston.

Impact O'Neale scored in double digits for just the second time in his last 10 games. His offense has really trailed off in recent weeks, and the same is true of his defense. In that same stretch, O'Neale is only averaging 0.6 steals and 0.3 blocks.

MARCH 4, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Not starting Saturday O'Neale will come off the bench for Saturday's game against the 76ers, Alex Schiffer of The Athletic reports.

Impact Saturday's tilt will mark O'Neale's first appearance off the bench this season, having started in each of his 52 appearances. Although the Nets traded Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant prior to the deadline, the returns of the superstar duo included a surplus of capable wing players. Because of this, it's unclear where O'Neale fits into the rotation, but he should not be considered in standard leagues after averaging 9.3 points, 4.8 rebounds and 4.0 assists across 34.1 minutes.

Strong game from deep in loss O'Neale had 15 points (5-9 FG, 5-7 3Pt), one rebound and three assists over 35 minutes during Monday's 124-116 loss to the Clippers.

Impact O'Neale was one of two Nets players to connect on five or more threes, finishing as one of four players in double figures in scoring Monday. O'Neale has finished with at least five threes in three games this season, and Monday's performance was his first of that sort since Dec. 23.

FEBRUARY 7, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Steady production in victory O'Neale closed Monday's 121-104 win over the Lakers with 14 points (5-10 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 1-1 FT), six rebounds, three assists, one block and two steals across 28 minutes.

Impact The Nets had a trio of guards score 20-plus points Monday, but O'Neale put up strong numbers of his own from the frontcourt in the victory. The veteran forward made half of his 10 shot attempts -- including three of seven from beyond the arc -- to finish with exactly 14 points for the second straight game. He also contributed across the stat sheet, finishing with multiple steals for the first time in nine contests and adding six boards and three assists. O'Neale is far from a prolific fantasy producer, but he consistently plays major minutes and is averaging career-best per-game marks in points (9.5), assists (4.0) and three-pointers (2.3) through 47 games.

Limited impact Thursday O'Neale racked up three points (1-7 FG, 1-5 3Pt), three rebounds, one assist and one steal over 29 minutes before fouling out of Thursday's 130-122 loss to Detroit.

Impact O'Neale dealt with a sore left hip ahead of Thursday's matchup, but the issue didn't prevent him from playing. However, he got into some foul trouble and was held under 30 minutes of playing time for the first time since Jan. 17. He's been held to single-digit scoring totals in four of the last six matchups and has averaged 8.2 points, 3.8 rebounds and 2.8 assists in 32.0 minutes per game during that time.

JANUARY 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Will play Thursday O'Neale (hip) will play Thursday against the Pistons, Christian Arnold of Associated Press reports.

Impact O'Neale was dealing with left hip soreness and was initially ruled probable for Thursday's contest. The forward has been very durable this season, missing only three games so far. O'Neale will start Thursday and he'll likely see more than 30 minutes of action against Detroit.

JANUARY 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Listed as probable Thursday O'Neale is probable for Thursday's game against Detroit due to left hip soreness, Kristian Winfield of the New York Daily News reports.

Impact O'Neale has played at least 34 minutes in each of the last four matchups, but he's dealing with a hip issue ahead of the second half of a back-to-back set. However, he'll likely be able to play through the injury Thursday. Over 10 outings in January, he's averaged 9.0 points, 5.2 rebounds and 3.6 assists in 34.0 minutes per game.

Decent output against GSW O'Neale finished Sunday's 120-116 win over Golden State with 16 points (6-10 FG, 4-7 3Pt), six rebounds, one assist and two blocks across 39 minutes.

Impact O'Neale is not going to turn heads with his numbers on a game-to-game basis, but the veteran forward is known for his consistency and steady production on both ends of the court. The former Baylor standout has scored in double digits in five of his last eight games, and he's averaged 10.3 points, 5.5 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 2.0 combined blocks/steals during that span.

Solid numbers in Friday's win O'Neale racked up 13 points (4-9 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, six assists and one block in 34 minutes during Friday's 117-106 win over the Jazz.

Impact The 29-year-old wing continues to chip in across the board while Kevin Durant (knee) is on the shelf. In the five games Durant has missed so far, O'Neale is averaging 8.8 points, 5.0 boards, 4.0 assists and 1.8 threes, including a near triple-double against the Thunder on Jan. 15. That production has come on poor 34.1 percent shooting from the floor, so there's room for his numbers to grow once the Nets' offense fully adjusts to life without KD, who may not be back until around the All-Star break.

Struggles again in loss O'Neale totaled four points (1-7 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, four assists and one steal in 34 minutes during Thursday's 117-112 loss to Phoenix.

Impact O'Neale put up a dud once again Thursday, disappointing anyone who added him over the past week. Although his role is secure, O'Neale has been unable to take advantage of the recent injury to Kevin Durant (knee). He is fine to have on a 12-team roster, although his limited upside does mean he can be dropped for a hot free agent if you are tired of his mediocre performances.

JANUARY 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Limited to five points Tuesday O'Neale recorded five points (2-8 FG, 1-4 3Pt) and two rebounds across 21 minutes during Tuesday's 106-98 loss to the Spurs.

Impact O'Neale came close to a triple-double Sunday against the Thunder with 11 points, 10 rebounds and eight assists, but he was much less productive Tuesday while playing under 30 minutes for the first time since Dec. 23. He's scored in double figures in three of his six appearances this month and has averaged 8.2 points, 5.7 rebounds and 3.3 assists in 33.0 minutes per game during that time.

JANUARY 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Sniffs triple-double in loss O'Neale supplied 11 points (4-10 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 10 rebounds, eight assists and one steal in 33 minutes during Sunday's 112-102 loss to the Thunder.

Impact O'Neale didn't have his best shooting performance, but the veteran still found ways to make an impact. He ended just two assists shy from recording a triple-double, and he's now scored in double digits in three of his last four outings.

JANUARY 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Stuffs stat sheet in victory O'Neale posted eight points (3-11 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 1-1 FT), six rebounds, six assists, two blocks and one steal in 35 minutes during Sunday's 102-101 win over the Heat.

Impact O'Neale didn't shoot the ball particularly well in this one, but he contributed across the board by crashing the glass and showcasing his passing ability. He also notched a steal for a third straight game. O'Neale is averaging 7.3 points, 5.7 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.3 blocks through his first three appearances in January.

Back in starting lineup O'Neale will start Wednesday's matchup against the Bulls, Alex Schiffer of The Athletic reports.

Impact As expected, O'Neale, who's started every one of his appearances this season, will return to the starting lineup following a one-game absence due to an illness. Over 34 games, O'Neale is averaging 9.5 points, 4.9 rebounds and 4.2 assists in 35.1 minutes.

Set to play against Chicago O'Neale (illness) is available for Wednesday's game versus the Bulls, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.

Impact O'Neale has been upgraded from probable to available after missing Monday's game with a non-COVID illness. The defensive-minded forward will likely replace Seth Curry in the starting lineup against Chicago.

Expected to play Wednesday O'Neale (illness) is probable for Wednesday's game against the Bulls, Chris Milholen of NetsDaily.com reports.

Impact O'Neale was sidelined for Monday's win over the Spurs after being a late addition to the injury report with an illness, but the veteran wing is expected to return to action Wednesday. The undrafted product out of Baylor has started all 34 of his appearances this season and is averaging 9.5 points, 4.9 rebounds and 4.2 assists in 35.1 minutes per game.

Out Monday O'Neale (illness) is out for Monday's contest against the Spurs

Impact After being a late addition to Brooklyn's injury report, O'Neale will officially miss Monday's contest against San Antonio. The veteran forward's next chance to return comes Wednesday at the Bulls.

JANUARY 3, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Downgraded to questionable O'Neale is questionable for Monday's game against the Spurs due to a non-COVID illness, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.

Impact O'Neal was a very late addition to the injury report with an illness, which is never a good sign. If he's sidelined, Seth Curry would likely be inserted into the starting lineup, while Joe Harris, Patty Mills, T.J. Warren and Yuta Watanabe would all be candidates for increased roles off the bench.

Ties season-high five triples O'Neale racked up 17 points (6-9 FG, 5-8 3Pt) and one rebound in 28 minutes during Friday's 118-100 victory over the Bucks.

Impact O'Neale's efficient three-point shooting helped him score his second-highest points total of the season. The veteran forward is averaging 14.1 points, 3.8 assists, 3.2 rebounds and 1.1 steals in 32.1 minutes throughout December. O'Neale is also converting 54.9 percent of his field-goal attempts and 59.0 percent of his long-range shots over that span.
