Yuta Watanabe Will Undergo MRI Wednesday

Brooklyn Nets forward Yuta Watanabe (back) is expected to go through a "precautionary MRI" on Wednesday. Watanabe has already been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Phoenix Suns after experiencing back tightness in Monday's game. Joe Harris and TJ Warren should see increased minutes with Watanabe out.

Kevin Durant Out Through All-Star Break

Brooklyn Nets forward Kevin Durant (knee) is expected to sit through the All-Star break and does not have a timetable to return. Durant is still recovering from an MCL sprain and has not been cleared for contact yet. With the break only a week away, the added rest should put Durant on schedule to return […]

Ben Simmons No Longer On Injury Report On Tuesday

Brooklyn Nets forward Ben Simmons does not appear on the injury report anymore as the team heads into their Tuesday night contest with the Phoenix Suns. For any fantasy managers that still have Simmons, this is big news since the team won't have Kyrie Irving, Spencer Dinwiddie, Yuta Watanabe (back), or Seth Curry (adductor) playing. […]

Kyrie Irving Traded To Dallas - Fantasy Basketball Impact

Without a doubt, Kyrie Irving is arguably one of the most naturally gifted players in the National Basketball Association. He's a fantastic ball-handler and can get to the rim with ease.

T.J. Warren To Play On Monday

Brooklyn Nets forward T.J. Warren (shin) is available for Monday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers.

Cam Thomas Moves Into Starting Five

Brooklyn Nets guard Cam Thomas will slide into the starting five for Monday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. He'll take the spot of Seth Curry (groin) who continues to deal with a lingering injury. Thomas is coming off the best game of his career on Saturday. He dropped 44 points during their win over […]

Ben Simmons To Miss Another Game

Brooklyn Nets guard Ben Simmons (knee) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. The 26-year-old will miss his fifth game in a row due to left knee soreness. It sounds like Simmons could've played, but the team decided to take the cautious approach and hold him out. That being said, […]

Seth Curry Will Be Sidelined On Monday Versus Clippers

Brooklyn Nets guard Seth Curry (adductor) exited the game on Saturday against the Washington Wizards with a left adductor strain and will miss Monday's contest against the Los Angeles Clippers.

Dorian Finney-Smith On The Move To Brooklyn

The Mavericks are sending Dorian Finney-Smith and Spencer Dinwiddie to the Nets in exchange for Kyrie Irving and Markieff Morris. Finney-Smith has spent his entire career in Dallas, averaging 8.3 points, 4.6 rebounds, and 1.4 assists.

Spencer Dinwiddie Returning To Brooklyn

The Mavericks are sending Spencer Dinwiddie, Dorian Finney-Smith, and multiple draft picks to the Nets in exchange for Kyrie Irving and Markieff Morris. Dinwiddie has averaged 17.7 points, 5.3 assists and shot 40.5% from deep in 53 games this season. However, he'll now return to Brooklyn, a city where he played for five seasons. Dinwiddie […]

Kyrie Irving Heading To Dallas

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 28% of leagues ANALYSIS: It is happening. Again.

Cam Thomas Scores Career-High 44 Points

Brooklyn Nets guard/forward Cam Thomas exploded for a career-high 44 points in 29 minutes off the bench Saturday against Washington, pushing the team to a 125-123 win. He had 19 points in the fourth quarter alone when the Nets erased a seven-point deficit. Thomas shot 16-for-23 for the game and was 4-for-5 from outside with […]

Seth Curry Doesn't Return Against Washington

Brooklyn Nets guard Seth Curry (adductor) exited Saturday's win over the Washington Wizards and didn't return. Brooklyn was already short-handed entering this one, with Ben Simmons (knee), Kevin Durant (knee), Kyrie Irving (calf), and T.J. Warren (shin) all unavailable. The Nets will host the Clippers on Monday night, so there's a good chance Curry won't […]

T.J. Warren Unavailable Against Washington

Brooklyn Nets forward T.J. Warren (shin) won't play on Saturday against Washington. The 29-year-old was doubtful heading into this one, so his absence isn't a surprise by any means. Nevertheless, with Warren, Ben Simmons (knee), Kyrie Irving (calf), and Kevin Durant (knee) all unavailable versus the Wizards, the Nets are in trouble. However, Royce O'Neale, […]

Ben Simmons Out Another One On Saturday

Brooklyn Nets guard/forward Ben Simmons (knee) will miss Saturday's matchup against the Wizards, marking his fourth consecutive absence. Kyrie Irving (calf), Kevin Durant (knee), and T.J. Warren (shin) are also out, meaning Edmond Sumner, Royce O'Neale, Yuta Watanabe, Seth Curry, and Nico Claxton may all see a sizable boost in fantasy production. As a result, […]

Kyrie Irving Out On Saturday

Brooklyn Nets guard Kyrie Irving (calf) won't play on Saturday against the visiting Washington Wizards. The timing is coincidental, considering the multi-time All-Star requested a trade ahead of the February 9 trade deadline. With that said, fantasy managers will give him the benefit of the doubt, although it will be interesting if he's back in […]

T.J. Warren Questionable Against Washington

Brooklyn Nets forward T.J. Warren (shin) is questionable for Saturday's meeting with the Wizards. The 29-year-old has missed the last three games because of a left shin contusion. With Ben Simmons (knee) also questionable, Yuta Watanabe could on the floor more than usual. Watanabe has averaged 6.8 points and shot 48.0% from deep this season, […]

Ben Simmons Questionable Against The Wizards

Brooklyn Nets guard/forward Ben Simmons (knee) is listed as questionable ahead of Saturday's matchup with the visiting Wizards. He's missed the last three games because of left knee soreness, an injury he's dealt with for much of the year. With T.J. Warren (shin) also questionable, Yuta Watanabe should receive more work. The sharpshooter has averaged […]

Kyrie Irving Requests A Trade Ahead Of Deadline

Brooklyn Nets guard Kyrie Irving has reportedly requested a trade after declining a contract extension with the team.
