Bojan Bogdanovic Scores 10 Points On Wednesday
Bojan Bogdanovic contributed 10 points in Wednesday's 107-101 road win at the Madison Square Garden. He was very little involved offensively, taking only eight shots, but he made half of them and still managed to get to double figures. Bogdanovic had a great 25-point outing last Saturday against Cleveland, but he's struggled against better sides, combining only 24 points in the next two games. It's bad news as his fantasy value relies heavily on his scoring touch. With that said, the Pacers face another poor team on Friday when visiting Chicago, so Bogdanovic could be in for another 20-plus point night.

Bogdan Bogdanovic Suiting Up On Monday
Bogdan Bogdanovic (hamstring) is set to return on Monday against the New Orleans Pelicans. He missed Saturday's game against Charlotte as the Hawks wrapped up back-to-back games. The experienced scorer has recently returned from a hamstring issue, and the team is being cautious about his playing time. Since rejoining the lineup on November 18, Bogdanovic has averaged 12.2 points and 3.8 rebounds in 24.3 minutes per contest. New Orleans has been allowing the fifth-most bench points this season, so Bogdanovic and Atlanta's second unit are primed for a strong performance on Monday night.

Bojan Bogdanovic Ruled Out For Wednesday
Bojan Bogdanovic (foot) will not be available for Wednesday's season opener versus Atlanta. We will miss out on the battle of the Bogdanovics, with the Nets forward still nursing a foot injury. Bogdanovic reportedly hasn't even been cleared for five-on-five contact, so it might take a while until he's ready to make his season debut. The Croatian veteran will be a good secondary scoring option off the bench for the Nets this season. With him out, Jalen Wilson and Keon Johnson have a chance to see more minutes in the rotation. However, they likely still won't make a big enough contribution to warrant fantasy consideration.

Bojan Bogdanovic Not Cleared For Five-On-Five Work
Bojan Bogdanovic (foot) isn't doing any five-on-five work at the start of training camp. The veteran scorer has recovered from offseason wrist surgery but also had foot surgery, which is taking longer to heal. Bogdanovic is back in Brooklyn for a second stint after being involved in a trade that sent Mikal Bridges to the Knicks. He is expected to be a contributor off the bench, limiting Bogdanovic's fantasy value. However, the Nets will likely want to get rid of his expiring $19 million contract during the season, meaning the team could give Bogdanovic increased opportunities at some point to boost his trade value.

Bojan Bogdanovic Scheduled To Play In Exhibition Game
Bojan Bogdanovic (foot, wrist) is scheduled to play in an exhibition game on September 5th in Zagreb, Croatia. It will be the first time Bogdanovic has been on the court since getting injured in the playoffs with the Knicks and after having foot and wrist surgery in April. News of the 35-year-old playing in the exhibition contest likely means he is healthy and will be ready for Nets training camp starting October 1st.
