Sets season high off bench in loss Watford finished with 21 points (8-11 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-7 FT), two rebounds, one steal and one block over 34 minutes in Monday's 133-111 loss to Indiana.

Impact Watford led all bench players in Monday's contest in scoring while connecting on a team-high mark from the field and ending as one of two players with 20 or more points in his best offensive performance of the year. Watford set a new season high in scoring, surpassing the 20-point mark for the first time. Watford previously tallied a season-high point total March 25 when he posted 19 points, now having recorded at least 10 points in five straight outings off the bench.

Leads bench in near double-double Watford notched 15 points (7-10 FG, 1-2 3Pt), eight rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 29 minutes in Sunday's 116-104 loss to the Los Angeles Lakers.

Impact Watford led all bench players in Sunday's contest in scoring while hauling in a team-high rebound total and ending two boards shy of a double-double to provide a spark off the Brooklyn bench. Watford has recorded 15 or more points in five games this season while setting a new season high in rebounds in the loss. He has tallied at least 10 points and five rebounds in seven appearances off the bench.

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.

Goes for 14 points off bench Watford had 14 points (4-10 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 6-6 FT) and seven rebounds over 19 minutes during Tuesday's 108-81 loss to the Magic.

Impact Watford is not the most consistent performer and doesn't have a steady role in the rotation, but he's making a solid case for more minutes off the bench in a Nets team that doesn't have a clear direction with a few weeks left in the regular season. Watford has scored in double digits in each of his last three bench appearances in which he's logged double-digit minutes.

Leading scorer off bench Wednesday Watford closed Wednesday's 136-86 loss to the Celtics with 15 points (5-7 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 3-3 FT), two rebounds and one assist over 26 minutes.

Impact Watford saw extended playing for the second time in three games as the Nets saw themselves down by as many as 56 points in Wednesday's loss. He and Mikal Bridges were the only two Brooklyn players to score in double-digits. Watford is averaging 6.0 points across 12.1 minute per game this season, and doesn't figure to get more playing time following the All-Star break.

FEBRUARY 15 • ROTOWIRE

Strong performance off bench Watford closed with 15 points (5-13 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 5-5 FT), six rebounds, two assists and two blocks in 26 minutes during Thursday's 118-95 loss to Cleveland.

Impact Watford doesn't have a big role off the bench for the Nets, but he was trusted into a more prominent workload here, and he delivered by posting one of his best scoring marks of the campaign. It was just the second time he reached the 15-point plateau, and while he might see decent minutes off the bench going forward, he doesn't contribute enough to be a valuable asset in most fantasy formats outside of extremely deep leagues.

FEBRUARY 9 • ROTOWIRE

Plays 10 minutes in loss Watford chipped in four points (2-3 FG), two rebounds and one assist across 10 minutes during Thursday's 122-115 loss to Miami.

Impact Watford has appeared in six of the Nets' last nine games. During that stretch, he's played double-digit minutes four times. In those contests, he's averaged 9.5 points, 4.5 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.0 steals in 17.5 minutes per game. Those are solid per-minute stats, but his role is too inconsistent to trust in fantasy, especially given Ben Simmons (hip) may return to action soon.

Recalled from G League Watford was recalled from the G League's Long Island Nets on Wednesday, NBA freelance journalist Billy Reinhardt reports.

Impact Watford had a brief stint in the G League, as he'll rejoin the parent club a few hours after being assigned to Long Island. He's unlikely to be a significant part of Brooklyn's rotation.

Well-rounded production off bench Watford recorded 11 points (4-6 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, four assists and one steal across 14 minutes during Wednesday's 109-105 win over the Heat.

Impact Watford wasn't part of the Nets' rotation over the first three games of the season, but he saw double-digit minutes Wednesday and contributed in multiple areas. Part of his uptick in playing time may have been due to Spencer Dinwiddie (ankle) being unavailable, and even though Watford had an encouraging performance, it seems unlikely that he'll be able to maintain consistent minutes once the team is healthier.

Will play Sunday Watford (ankle) is good to go for Sunday's game against the Warriors.

Impact Watford should get another start at center with Drew Eubanks (ankle) unavailable, and he'll look to build off his 24-point performance from Saturday. Go ahead and get him active.

APRIL 9, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Probable Sunday Watford (ankle) is probable for Sunday's game against the Warriors.

Impact Watford should continue to power through the ankle issue, and with Drew Eubanks (ankle) status up in the air for Sunday's game, Watford could again draw the start at center. Check back for official word on his status closer to tip-off.

APRIL 9, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Good to go Thursday Watford (ankle) is available for Thursday's game against the Spurs.

Impact Watford has been upgraded from questionable to available and will suit up after missing Portland's previous contest. He figures to draw another start at power forward alongside Drew Eubanks with Portland resting a litany of regulars again. Over his past nine appearances (seven starts), Watford has averaged 11.9 points, 5.3 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.2 steals in 26.8 minutes per game.

Cleared to play against Sacramento Watford (ankle) is available for Friday's game versus the Kings, Sean Highkin of RoseGardenReport.com reports.

Impact Watford has been upgraded from questionable to available Friday after missing the previous two games with a right ankle sprain. He will replace Nassir Little in the starting lineup.

APRIL 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Out for remainder of game Watford won't return to Sunday's game against Oklahoma City due to right ankle discomfort.

Impact Watford tallied six points (3-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 0-1 FT) and two rebounds in 11 minutes prior to exiting Sunday's matchup in the first half. It's not yet clear whether he'll be available for the second half of a back-to-back set Monday against the Pelicans.

Season-high 21 points in relief Watford produced 21 points (9-16 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds, five assists, two blocks and one steal over 35 minutes during Wednesday's 127-115 victory over Utah.

Impact Watford filled in once again for Jerami Grant (thigh) and came one rebound shy of his fourth double-double of the season. The LSU product has only averaged 6.6 points, 3.6 rebounds and 2.1 assists this season, but he immediately becomes fantasy -relevant when an injury occurs for Portland.

MARCH 23, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Returns to starting lineup Watford is in the starting five for Wednesday's game versus the Jazz, Casey Holdahl of the Trail Blazers' official site reports.

Impact Watford will get his third start in four games since Jerami Grant went down with a knee injury. Watford is averaging 9.8 points, 9.5 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 1.5 steals in 35.0 minutes across his previous four starts this season.

MARCH 22, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Scores 12 points off bench Watford had 12 points (5-9 FG, 2-2 FT), three rebounds and one steal over 29 minutes during Sunday's 117-102 loss to the Clippers.

Impact After starting the previous two matchups, Watford was shifted to a bench role in favor of Cam Reddish, but the former ended up seeing 10 more minutes and was more productive than the latter. Watford has scored in double figures in six straight appearances (two starts) and is averaging 11.0 points, 6.0 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1.5 steals in 30.0 minutes during that stretch.

MARCH 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Not starting Sunday Watford isn't starting Sunday against the Clippers, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.

Impact Watford started the last two matchups and averaged 10.0 points, 7.0 rebounds and 6.0 assists in 37.0 minutes per game, but he'll retreat to the bench while Cam Reddish draws the start Sunday. Despite his bench role, Watford should still see elevated playing time since Jerami Grant (quadriceps) remains out.

MARCH 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Solid production all around Watford supplied 10 points (4-7 FG, 2-3 3Pt), eight rebounds, eight assists and three steals in 34 minutes during Friday's 126-112 loss to the Celtics.

Impact Watford was quiet on the offensive end with just two points on 1-of-4 shooting from the field in the first half, though he added four boards, four dimes and two steals. He added only six more points in the second half, all of which came in the fourth quarter on 2-of-2 shooting from beyond the arc, to finish with 10 points for the third game in a row. The power forward dished out a team-high eight assists in the contest to go along with eight rebounds, which also tied Jusuf Nurkic for the team lead. He's now scored in double figures in five straight games and has grabbed at least six boards in each of his last four.
