D'Angelo Russell Nears Double-Double Wednesday Night
7 years agoBrooklyn Nets point guard D'Angelo Russell just missed a double-double in what was another strong game for him on Wednesday. Russell seems to finally be getting a full workload worth of minutes since returning from injury, and fantasy owners should rejoice. As long as he continues on his current pace, he should be a huge factor in fantasy leagues down the stretch, so make sure if you have him you start playing him regularly. Russell should start playing alongside Spencer Dinwiddie in the starting lineup, and that is a move that could see both players heavily benefit from the situation.

D'Angelo Russell Won't Play Versus Washington
5 days agoBrooklyn Nets guard D'Angelo Russell (ankle) won't play on Saturday against Washington. The veteran had only five points in 18 minutes in Friday's loss to the Clippers. With that in mind, the Nets can't earn a Play-In berth, so Russell along with Nicolas Claxton (rest), who also suit up, and Cameron Johnson could see less work for the remainder of the 2024-25 campaign. As a result, Keon Johnson should handle things at the one, with Reece Beekman also in line for more work.

D'Angelo Russell Could Miss Monday's Game Against Mavericks
1 week agoBrooklyn Nets guard D'Angelo Russell (ankle) has been tagged as questionable for Monday's matchup with the Dallas Mavericks. The Nets have been looking forward to the draft lottery rather than the playoffs, so Russell has been on a trend of playing a few games and getting one off for rest. This could be the first time he's missed consecutive games since February. If he's unable to suit up, Keon Johnson and Tyrese Martin should remain in the starting five. In their last game, Johnson posted 17 points, four rebounds, one assist, and three steals across 33 minutes.

D'Angelo Russell Ruled Out Versus Indiana
2 weeks agoBrooklyn Nets guard D'Angelo Russell (ankle) won't play on Saturday against Indiana. The veteran had 22 points when these clubs met on Thursday, tying Ziaire Williams (hamstring) for the team-high. Unfortunately, neither player will be on the floor for the rematch. With that said, head coach Jordi Fernandez implied that both men are being held out for precautionary reasons, so there's a chance they'll be back for Monday's clash with the Dallas Mavericks. In the meantime, Keon Johnson and Cameron Johnson have the best shot to lead the way on the scoring end. Tyrese Martin is also expected to spend time at the one, which will surely help his fantasy potential.

D'Angelo Russell Reportedly Wants To Remain In Brooklyn After This Season
4 weeks agoBrooklyn Nets guard D'Angelo Russell has reportedly told those close to him that he would prefer to stay in Brooklyn after this season, according to the New York Post. Russell hasn't quite been the same player he was in seasons past, averaging just 13.7 points in his 18 games as a Net compared to his 18.0 PPG as a Laker last season. Brooklyn will look to see how well Russell pairs with fellow guard Cam Thomas in the starting lineup before assessing what their needs are. Russell and Thomas have only played together for one game thanks to injury issues for both guards. Fantasy managers in dynasty leagues should keep an eye on Brooklyn's upcoming plans, as both Russell and Thomas would likely benefit with additional usage and playing time in Brooklyn.
