D'Angelo Russell Held In Check During Loss
D'Angelo Russell finished with 18 points on 7-for-20 shooting during Monday’s defeat against the Milwaukee Bucks. The outing marks just the second time in the past nine games that Russell has been kept under 20 points, having seen his offensive role expand with Spencer Dinwiddie in street clothes. Monday’s performance can be seen as a blip on the radar for Russell, who still managed to contribute five assists and two made threes, giving him 12 consecutive contests with multiple triples. He draws a tough match-up with the Denver Nuggets on Wednesday, who have been one of the league’s best defensive units against guards this season.

D'Angelo Russell Unavailable Against Pelicans
D'Angelo Russell (ankle) will not play in Tuesday's contest against the New Orleans Pelicans. Ever since he returned to Brooklyn, Russell has been in and out of the lineup due to various health issues, and he is currently nursing a right ankle sprain. Reece Beekman has just logged his first career start and may get another opportunity in Tuesday's game. He was impactful at both ends in Sunday's loss to the Toronto Raptors, posting 14 points, four rebounds, five assists, and three steals.

D'Angelo Russell Sidelined On Sunday
D'Angelo Russell (ankle) won't play on Sunday against the Raptors. The Nets have five games left on the schedule. However, Brooklyn isn't going anywhere near the postseason in any capacity, so it's possible Russell is done for the remainder of the 2024-25 campaign. With Nicolas Claxton (rest) and Cameron Johnson (back) also ruled out, Keon Johnson, Ziaire Williams, and Trendon Watford may be the most reliable fantasy options, although Tyrese Martin and Drew Timme may also get more involved.

D'Angelo Russell Good To Go On Thursday
D'Angelo Russell (ankle) will play on Thursday versus Minnesota. The veteran continues to appear on the injury report because of a sore ankle. Yet, he was able to suit up for Monday's win over the Dallas Mavericks, finishing with 18 points, 11 assists, two steals, and one block. With Cameron Johnson (back) ruled out, Russell should be one of the Nets' top producers on Thursday evening.

D'Angelo Russell Won't Play Versus Washington
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.
