Rondae Hollis-Jefferson Struggles Against the Heat
Brooklyn Nets forward Rondae Hollis-Jefferson posted his second poor performance in a row on Friday, failing to hit double digits in any category, as he shot only 2-for-9 from the field to finish with only seven points on the night. Hollis-Jefferson was mildly productive elsewhere (six rebounds and four assists), and his line wouldn't have […]
Caris LeVert Stuffs The Stat Sheet Friday Night
Brooklyn Nets shooting guard Caris LeVert stuffed the stat sheet yet again in Friday night’s comeback win over Miami. LeVert did a little of everything Friday to aid a comeback effort with 12 points, four rebounds, five assists, and three steals. LeVert has been doing a little of everything as the sixth man in Brooklyn. He […]
DeMarre Carroll Comes Up Huge In Comeback Win
Brooklyn Nets small forward DeMarre Carroll was brilliant Friday night in the Nets 101-95 win over Miami, scoring 26 points, grabbing six rebounds and adding two steals, which helped lead the Nets back from a double-digit halftime deficit to win. Carroll has been a bright spot for the Nets this season as one of the more […]
D'Angelo Russell 0-For-5 in Return for Nets
Brooklyn Nets point guard D’Angelo Russell struggled mightily in his return from a knee injury he suffered back in November. Limited to just 14 minutes of playing time, Russell was 0-for-5 from the field and looked rusty throughout. Obviously better days are ahead for the talented combo guard from Ohio State University, but Friday went worse […]

D'Angelo Russell is Available on Friday
Brooklyn Nets guard D'Angelo Russell (knee) is available to play against the Miami Heat on Friday. Head coach Kenny Atkinson said he looked good at shooaround on Wednesday and was getting closer to a return. He's officially available to play on Friday, but will be working with a minutes limit. He's likely going to be […]
D'Angelo Russell Listed As Probable Friday
Brooklyn Nets point guard D'Angelo Russell (knee) has been sidelined since mid-November following knee surgery and is tentatively expected to return Friday night against the Miami Heat. Russell will most likely have a minutes restriction due to the lengthy injury, but his return will bump Spencer Dinwiddie back to the bench. Coach Kenny Atkinson has […]
DeMarre Carroll Puts up Double-Double Against Spurs
Brooklyn Nets forward DeMarre Carroll was solid again against the Spurs on Wednesday, scoring 11 points with 10 rebounds to pick up the double-double in the losing effort. Carroll shot a poor 3-for-9 from the field, including 2-for-3 from deep, with two turnovers, but owners who picked him up off the wire recently won't be […]
Rondae Hollis-Jefferson gets Shut Down by the Spurs
Brooklyn Nets forward Rondae Hollis-Jefferson had a dreadful showing against the Spurs on Wednesday, which included a game-high five turnovers. Hollis-Jefferson scored a mere seven points on 3-for-6 shooting, and head coach Kenny Atkinson yanked him out after just 19 minutes of action. He added four rebounds, an assist and a block to finish the […]
Caris Levert Shoots Poorly on Wendesday
Brooklyn Nets guard/forward Caris Levert had a decent game on Wednesday despite the poor field goal percentage (4-for-11). LeVert knocked down two triples on his way to finishing with 13 points against the Spurs. He didn't do much else, however, adding just two boards and two assists while turning the ball over twice. Considering most […]
Allen Crabbe Puts Up 20 Points In Loss To Spurs
Brooklyn Nets shooting guard Allen Crabbe put up a strong effort on Thursday with 20 points and eight rebounds in a losing effort against the Spurs. Crabbe has been an inconsistent player this season for the Nets. When his shot has been on, he can help win them games, but too often he has struggled […]
Spencer Dinwiddie Flirts With Double-Double Despite Loss
Brooklyn Nets point guard Spencer Dinwiddie flirted with a double-double in a Wednesday night loss to the San Antonio Spurs. Dinwiddie scored nine points and dished out 12 assists while committing zero turnovers in what was another strong performance for the fourth-year player out of Colorado. Dinwiddie has really grown his game this year to […]

D'Angelo Russell Won't Play Wednesday
Brooklyn Nets point guard D'Angelo Russell (knee) has been ruled out of Wednesday's contest against the San Antonio Spurs.

As promised, here’s part two of my ADP Outperformers, where we are comparing the average draft position of players to their current fantasy rank. The names today should basically be household names for any serious fantasy managers, but […]
Tyler Zeller Will Start Against Knicks
Brooklyn Nets forward/center Tyler Zeller (hip) will start against the New York Knicks on Monday. He missed Saturday's game with a hip issue, but should be ready to play his normal minutes Monday. Zeller's return will move Quincy Acy back to the bench. The Nets have too many centers and not enough minutes to go […]

Carroll scored 13 points (6-for-13), while pulling down a team-high 10 rebounds in the losing effort. He also helped out with three assists and two steals in this one. Carroll seemed to be […]
Rondae Hollis-Jefferson Scores Team-High 22 Points on Saturday
Brooklyn Nets forward Rondae Hollis-Jefferson was feeling it in DC on Saturday, scoring a team-high 22 points on a nice 9-for-15 shooting. Hollis-Jefferson looked great as a facilitator in this one, dishing out seven assists in his team-high 38 minutes. He didn't have any defensive stats in the overtime loss but he did pitch in […]
Caris LeVert Flirts with Triple-Double on Saturday
Brooklyn Nets guard/forward Caris LeVert played better on Saturday against the Wizards, hitting five of his 16 attempts to finish with 12 points. LeVert was very productive in this one and almost came away with a triple-double, with his eight rebounds and eight assists. He also had one steal but had some issues with ball […]
Spencer Dinwiddie Scores 16 Points Against the Wizards
Brooklyn Nets point guard Spencer Dinwiddie had a decent night in the nation's capital on Saturday, finishing with 13 points on an ugly 4-for-16 shooting, including two makes from deep. Dinwiddie was active in other areas, though, picking up four assists and six rebounds in his 35 minutes. He made his presence known on defense […]
Allen Crabbe Back to his Usual Tricks
Brooklyn Nets guard/forward Allen Crabbe had a typical game against the Wizards on Saturday, shooting a poor percentage (5-for-15) to finish with 13 points with three triples. Crabbe didn't do a whole lot else either, adding only three boards, two assists, one steal and two turnovers in 32 minutes. As bad as Crabbe's shooting can […]
Jarrett Allen Effective in Overtime Loss
Brooklyn Nets center/power forward Jarrett Allen showed more signs of promise on Saturday, scoring 16 points on a fine 6-for-10 shooting in 28 minutes of action. Allen was active on the glass as well, falling two boards short of a double-double with eight rebounds against the Wizards. Allen may not be quite ready to produce […]
Joe Harris Scores 11 Points on Saturday
Brooklyn Nets shooting guard Joe Harris did his job on Saturday and scored some buckets against the Wizards. Harris finished with 11 points on 3-for-6 shooting, including two treys in his 21 minutes. He also hit all three of his free throw attempts, while throwing in two rebounds to the mix. Harris will be hard […]
Quincy Acy Will Start At Center
Brooklyn Nets forward/center Quincy Acy will make the start at center on Saturday against the Washington Wizards. He played 27 minutes on Friday with nine points and seven rebounds in the victory over the Atlanta Hawks. Tyler Zeller (hip) has been ruled out of Saturday's contest, which has opened up more playing time for Acy. […]
Tyler Zeller Ruled Out Saturday
Brooklyn Nets forward/center Tyler Zeller (hip) has been ruled out of Saturday's game against the Washington Wizards. He scored four points and four rebounds in 13 minutes off the bench on Friday. He wasn't a huge part of the team before the injury and the Nets have plenty of depth at center. Jarrett Allen and […]
FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (1/13/18): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice
There is a funky 7-game main slate on Saturday, so once again precision is going to be key. There aren't that many options out there, but there is still plenty of value ready to be utilized. Truthfully, none of these games are all that enticing from a general standpoint, but the Bulls-Pistons should be fairly […]
