D'Angelo Russell Considered Questionable Against The Pacers
3 months agoBrooklyn Nets guard D'Angelo Russell (shin) is questionable for Monday's matchup with the Indiana Pacers. The 28-year-old has played well enough since returning to Brooklyn, averaging 12.7 points, 8.0 assists, and 1.7 steals. Unfortunately, he exited Saturday's loss to the 76ers after only 14 minutes and is now uncertain for Monday night. If Russell isn't available, Ben Simmons (back, calf) would be in line to take over. However, with Simmons questionable and Cam Thomas (hamstring) out, Tyrese Martin, Keon Johnson, and Reece Beekman could split time at the one.

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
1 week 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.

D'Angelo Russell Remains Out On Monday Night
1 month agoBrooklyn Nets guard D'Angelo Russell (ankle) won't suit up on Monday against the Wizards. The 28-year-old injured his ankle during the February 20 matchup with the Cavs and didn't get on the floor for Saturday's two-point win over the 76ers. Killian Hayes got the start at the one. However, Trendon Watford and Keon Johnson also assisted with the ball handling duties, with the duo combining for 27 points. Both Watford and Johnson could remain in line to see a bump in usage, which should continue to enhance their fantasy production.
